"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat all day! Aren't you afraid of turning into a pig? You just finished your meal and can't even be bothered to move around a bit; instead, you're sitting 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 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 look at her phone, she had abandoned all pretense of using her hands to grab chips; instead, she simply crushed the bag and poured the contents directly into her mouth.
Lu Ma could only shake her head in exasperation. At the same time, she thought of Xu Lie. A few months ago, when her younger daughter had just started college, she had unexpectedly seen Xu Lie kissing her daughter outside the elevator while taking out the trash.
Thinking of this made Lu Ma feel 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 angry shout, Lu Youyou reluctantly rolled over and mumbled, "I know, I know, I'm going."
In her heart, Lu Youyou grumbled about how it was always her father who was at work. If he were home, he would definitely be the one taking out the trash.
Filial piety was truly commendable; she was indeed her parents' little cotton-padded jacket.
Reluctantly putting down the chips, Lu Youyou tucked her phone into her pocket, grabbed the garbage bag, and shuffled through the living room in her slippers. She couldn't even be bothered to change her shoes as she yawned and opened the door.
Huh? Why was there a man standing at the front door holding two boxes of gifts?
Did her sister buy something again? Did she even choose the luxury delivery service?
Instinctively looking up, Lu Youyou's gaze traveled from his torso upward until she gradually recognized that familiar face.
Wasn't that Xu Lie?!
With a smile playing on his lips, Xu Lie had clearly intended to catch a glimpse of this silly girl at home. With his current mental acuity, he could easily see what was happening inside.
He could have knocked early and stopped Lu Ma from forcing Lu Youyou to take out the trash, but he wanted to see how she looked in a home setting.
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 surprisingly spirited without makeup—far from unattractive—radiating youthful vitality.
Her upper body was clad in a wrinkled home shirt from lounging around, while below she wore baggy beach shorts and colorful slippers, all while holding a black garbage bag.
How could one describe this look?
It wasn't exactly refined or meticulous; it was more like a mess. 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 felt like three years had passed.
Feeling an inexplicable wave of emotion wash over him, Xu Lie finally spoke up: "It's been a long ti—"
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, the front door slammed shut with such force that it shook the threshold slightly.
Lu Youyou's face flushed bright red as she dashed into her room, changing her outfit and fixing her appearance. How could she let Xu Lie see her looking so disheveled? Absolutely not!
"What on earth is wrong with you, child?" Lu Ma exclaimed, bewildered. Her daughter had slammed the door violently and was now frantically grabbing a trash bag. What kind of madness was this?
"Mom! Please don’t open the door! Whatever you do, don’t open it!" Lu Youyou pleaded, her voice filled with desperation.
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 the time, you’re bound to embarrass yourself!" she chuckled to herself. But really, how could her daughter leave a guest waiting outside? She would have to say something to her about that.
Shaking her head, Lu Ma ignored her daughter's pleas and opened the door, only to be taken aback by the sight before her. It wasn’t just any classmate; it was her son-in-law!
In a flurry of movement, Lu Youyou, now dressed in a cute little skirt, rushed out without having time to scold her mother for acting on her own. With a beaming smile, she threw herself at Xu Lie. "Xu Lie! Welcome!"
Xu Lie, holding a gift box in both hands, managed to catch her effortlessly. "Yeah, I’m here."
(THE END)
