“Lu Xingguang, she wasn’t bullying me!” As she pulled Lu Xingguang aside, worried that he might just charge at Yan Yan and end up in a fistfight with her, Yan Susu felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

“Yanyan, apologize to Auntie now. She did not bully me.” Lu Liwan also reacted swiftly, explaining to her daughter while inside, her heart ached terribly.

She was too weak; it was her fault that her own daughter had inevitably developed such a prickly personality, always protecting her with utmost care.

“Did she really not hurt you?” asked Yan Yan, seeking further confirmation because she had noticed that her Mommy seemed very scared.

“She is my best friend. Why would she hurt me?”

“If she’s Mommy’s best friend, why didn’t she come forward to help you when you were being bullied by Great Grandma, Grandma, and Aunt?”

Lu Liwan’s face paled at the child’s naïve question.

Yan Susu looked at her, stunned, “Xiaowan…”

“Take no notice of the child’s rambling. We have to go now. Yanyan, say goodbye to Auntie.” Knowing what her best friend was about to ask her, Lu Liwan quickly sidestepped the subject.

“Bye, Auntie.” Yan Yan waved to her reluctantly.

Watching the backs of the mother and daughter as they walked away, Yan Susu looked worried.

How could her friend’s life be good when it included a grandmother who favored boys and a mother-in-law and sister-in-law who loved money, despised the poor, and were hypocrites?

But then again, she had known full well what those people were like, so why had she married into the Yan family?

“Stop looking!” Noticing that Yan Susu was staring at Yan Yan, Lu Xingguang murmured jealously, “You are mine. I forbid you to look at anyone else.”

She had even smiled so gently at that hateful little girl. How annoying.

Looking at the beautiful little face filled with jealousy, Yan Susu could not resist caressing his head. She said, “In my heart, you hold the most important position. Nobody can take that away from you.”

“Really?” Immediately, Lu Xingguang’s face lit up.

“Yep. Now, let’s go home.”

“I want to eat KFC!”

“No can do. You’ve just recovered.”

“I want to eat!”

Noting his persistence, Yan Susu’s heart ached for him, feeling sorry that she could not fulfill his wish, so she suggested, “Let’s go shopping. I will make you something else that’s just as delicious.”

Lu Xingguang’s eyes shone brilliantly as he looked expectantly at her. “What will you make?”

“Since you’ve just recovered, you must eat something bland. Today, we will have seafood congee. In a few days, I will make you pizza and hamburgers, OK?”

“Deal. You better not be lying to me!”

Yan Susu touched his head gently. How could she bear to lie to such an adorable child?

Back at the villa, Yan Susu changed into indoor clothes and walked into the kitchen.

“Madam, what does the Young Master wish to eat? Let me make it for him.” Auntie Tang looked on anxiously. She was concerned that if anything were to happen to the mistress, she, Auntie Tang, would not be able to explain herself to the master.

“No, I want to eat something made by Honey!” Lu Xingguang stared intently at Yan Susu, filled with expectation.

“Don’t worry, Auntie Tang. Looks can be deceiving; I am actually quite a decent cook.”

It was all Auntie Tang could do to stand by and observe anxiously. Then she discovered, to her surprise, that Yan Susu had not been exaggerating. She seemed comfortable in the kitchen, her actions proving that she knew exactly what she was doing. Her knife skills were excellent, too. She sliced and diced like a near-expert.

“Ooh, that smells nice!” Lu Xingguang exclaimed, squinting like a hungry cat.

Laughing, Yan Susu said, “Go wash your hands now. Food’s almost ready.”

“OK.” Lu Xingguang did a little bow playfully. However, turning around, he noticed Lu Zhanxiu, and the smile disappeared from his face as he asked with animosity, “Iceberg, when did you get back?”

“Young Master Lu, are you itching to get beaten up?”

Pursing his lips, Lu Xingguang changed his question reluctantly. “Papa, when did you get back?”

“I just got back.” Leaning against the door, Lu Zhanxiu looked at the little woman, clad in an apron and busily focused on her cooking. A faint smile spread across his face.

“My Honey is very beautiful and virtuous, don’t you agree? But you must not fall in love with her. She will marry me when I’m a grown-up!” Lu Xingguang announced possessively. He tried his utmost to jump up and cover Lu Zhanxiu’s eyes, intending to keep him from looking at Yan Susu.
