Zhong Chi drank a bit much today, so Xu Yunhui helped him to get some rest. Soon, Xu Xing, Xu Yushan, Huo Chengming, Li Jinyuan and Zhong Yuhuan were the only ones left at the table.

Xu Xing continued to keep his head lowered quietly.

Even Zhong Yuhuan started to feel bad for him.

Xu Yunhui didn't want him to attend #13 High School anymore, so Zhong Chi transferred him to Murphy High School, but Xu Xing couldn't fit into that place. Never mind about friends, it was lucky that he didn't get into fights with the other students.

Xu Xing was progressively more unhappy at school, but Xu Yunhui refused to let him transfer back to #13 High School. Zhong Chi also felt that it was his own problem not being able to fit in.

His own sense of self was about to be destroyed by his parents and his sister.

Zhong Yuhuan sighed and looked away.

Right then, Xu Yushan toasted to Zhong Yuhuan, "Congratulations on your upcoming trip!"

She paused, then, with the corners of her mouth lifted up, said, "Too bad you will miss my engagement ceremony."

Zhong Yuhuan lifted her brows. She thought to herself;who was that unlucky person.

Xu Yushan smiled shyly and said, "Nan Xuyang, he is cousin of Young Master Nan. If you follow through with your engagement and be married to Young Master Nan in the future, I will be your cousin-in-law as well!"

Zhong Yuhuan had no idea who this Nan Xuyang was, nor did she remember anyone ever mentioning him. That only meant that there was nothing notable or mentionable about this person within the second-generation rich kids.

Zhong Yuhuan smiled too, "Oh okay, then I wish you luck. May your love last forever."

There was a little intention of showing off from Xu Yushan. As young as Zhong Yuhuan was, she was a woman after all and must have thought about marriage. She wanted to make a point that she wasn't exactly picking up what Zhong Yuhuan didn't want.

Now that she heard what Zhong Yuhuan said, Xu Yushan suddenly felt a bit of panic.

But why?

Xu Yushan gritted her teeth.

It was just a smile from a little brat...

Zhong Yuhuan put down her wine glass in her hand and said to Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, "Let's go." Then, she walked away without looking at Xu Yushan again.

If Xu Yushan truly got married and minded her own business, she just might be able to dodge that landmine that she had set in place.

If she got any other ideas after getting married, well then, she asked for it herself.

After leaving the hotel, the three of them headed straight toward Lan Yue Mansion.

After having dinner with Grandpa Ding and cutting her birthday cake, Zhong Yuhuan started to feel tired.

Zhong Yuhuan walked out of the mansion and sighed at the front door.

Li Jinyuan quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Huo Chengming, on the other hand, had already squatted down in front of her and said in a deep voice, "I'll carry you"

"Carry me and walk all the way home?" chuckled Zhong Yuhuan.

"Carry you out of the mansion district first then get a car," said Huo Chengming. The voice of a young man during the voice-changing period certainly wasn't too pleasant to the ears.

Zhong Yuhuan jumped onto his back right away; she even reached her hand out to touch his Adam's apple and said to him, "The voice-changing period will be over soon. Chengming-ge ge must talk more in the future."

Huo Chengming nodded then, thinking about what she just said, added a "Mmm".

Walking next to them, Li Jinyuan said in a low voice, "Huo Chengming, I can carry Huanhuan when you are tired."

"I won't be tired," said Huo Chengming simply.

Li Jinyuan, "......"

Zhong Yuhuan, lying on Huo Chengming's back, kicked her foot and said, "KIA!"

Huo Chengming's ears turned red. Obediently, he started running with Li Jinyuan trailing behind him.
