"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat all day long! Aren't you afraid of turning into a pig? You just finished your meal and don't even bother to move around; instead, you sit on the sofa playing on your phone and munching on snacks. Hurry up and take the trash out!"
Lu Ma stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at her daughter Lu Youyou, who was sprawled on the sofa with a bag of chips in one hand and her phone in the other.
This daughter of hers was anything but ladylike. To see her glued to her phone, she had resorted to crushing the bag of chips and pouring them directly into her mouth instead of using her hands.
Lu Ma shook her head in exasperation, but then she thought of Xu Lie. A few months ago, when her younger daughter had just started college, she had gone down to take out the trash and unexpectedly caught Xu Lie kissing her daughter outside the elevator.
With that memory, Lu Ma felt a bit better; at least this unruly girl had someone interested in her, so there was no need to worry too much.
Hearing her mother's shout, Lu Youyou reluctantly rolled over and mumbled, "I know, I know. I'm going."
Inwardly, she grumbled about how her father had conveniently gone to work today. If he were home, he would definitely be the one taking out the trash.
Such filial piety! No wonder he was known as the heartless little cotton-padded jacket.
Reluctantly putting down the chips, Lu Youyou stuffed her phone into her pocket, grabbed the trash bag, and shuffled through the living room in her slippers. She couldn't even be bothered to change her shoes at the entrance; yawning widely, she opened the door.
Huh? Why was there a man standing at the door holding two boxes of gifts?
Did her sister buy something again? Did she even choose a luxury delivery service?
Instinctively, Lu Youyou looked up from his torso to his face and gradually recognized that familiar visage.
Wasn't that Xu Lie?!
Xu Lie wore a smile at the corner of his mouth. He was deliberately lingering there; his keen senses allowed him to see everything happening inside the house.
He could have knocked on the door early and stopped Lu Ma from forcing Lu Youyou to take out the trash, but he wanted to see this silly girl in her home environment.
The silly girl before him had messy hair from lying on the sofa without any care; she hadn't even bothered to fix it. Her bare face looked particularly spirited without any makeup, not unattractive at all—instead, it radiated with youthful vitality.
Her upper body was clad in a wrinkled home shirt from lounging around, while she wore oversized beach shorts and white slippers while holding a black trash bag.
How could one describe this look?
It wasn't refined or sophisticated; it was simply messy. Yet somehow, this only highlighted Lu Youyou's striking features and those long legs.
For Lu Youyou, it had only been three months since they last met; for Xu Lie, however, it had already been three years.
Feeling an inexplicable sense of nostalgia, Xu Lie finally opened his mouth: "Long time no—"
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, the front door slammed shut like a gust of wind, shaking the threshold slightly.
Lu Youyou's face flushed bright red as she hurried back to her room, changing her clothes and fixing her appearance. How could she let Xu Lie see her in such a messy state? Absolutely not!
"What’s wrong with you, child?" Lu Ma was bewildered. Her silly daughter had slammed the door and was now dragging a garbage bag back to her room. What was going on?
Lu Youyou didn’t have time to worry about her mother anymore, her voice filled with urgency. "Mom! Don’t open the door, please don’t open it!"
Lu Ma blinked, starting to understand. Was a friend visiting? A high school classmate or a college friend?
"Ha! I knew it! Looking so messy all day, of course, you'd be embarrassed!" she chuckled. But really, how could this child leave a guest waiting outside? She would have to talk to her about that later.
Shaking her head, Lu Ma ignored her daughter's pleas and went straight to open the door, startling Xu Lie in the process.
It turned out it wasn’t just a classmate; it was her son-in-law visiting!
In a flurry, Lu Youyou quickly changed into a little dress. She didn’t even have time to scold her mother for acting on her own; instead, she joyfully rushed forward. "Xu Lie! Welcome back!"
Xu Lie, holding a gift box in both hands, managed to catch her with ease. "Yeah, I’m back."
