Chapter 422

When Lu Chengshen led Lin Xiao through the gate, the first thing they saw was an empty living room.

Lin Xiao looked around at the surroundings with great curiosity.

The living room was clean, exquisite, and quite valuable.

What surprised her even more was that the room contained traces of their family's life, and even Lu Chengshen, who lived away from home for many years, could see his photos displayed in the living room.

The entire setup, inside and out, exudes a warm and cozy feeling of home.

It seems... the way their family gets along isn't as terrifying as she imagined.

When Lu Chengshen saw the scene before him, he raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

It seems that his parents really took his thoughts to heart this time.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps came from upstairs. The two of them subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Mingxiao walking downstairs with a faint smile.

He was wearing a gray wool sweater and simple casual pants.

Compared to their first meeting, where he was impeccably dressed in a suit and tie, he now appeared much gentler.

Seeing the two people standing downstairs, Lu Mingxiao greeted them with a smile and spoke as he walked down.

"You two are finally back! Your parents have been talking about it for ages."

"Brother Lu!"

Lin Xiao greeted him somewhat awkwardly.

Lu Chengshen, who was standing next to her, was much less polite.

He deliberately raised his hand, waved what he was carrying at them, and emphasized again, "It's for you."

Lu Mingxiao suddenly stopped, his expression towards Lu Chengshen was somewhat indescribable.

The next second, he saw the refined-looking older brother give him a disdainful look.

But he still reached out and took the things into his own hands, ignoring them completely. Lu Chengshen, who was standing next to him, turned to Lin Xiao and smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for the gift, but please don't buy gifts anymore. We're family now, and sending gifts back and forth makes us seem distant."

Lu Mingxiao put down the things he was carrying and called the family's servants to call his parents out.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengshen walked up to Lin Xiao without any attempt to hide it, gently squeezed his palm, and whispered with concern.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Lin Xiao pursed her lips and nodded seriously.

He simply turned his head and, when no one was watching, quietly exhaled.

Fortunately, the person I saw as soon as I entered was Lu Mingxiao, whom I was relatively familiar with.

Because it was someone he knew, his initial nervousness eased considerably.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, footsteps finally came from upstairs.

Lin Xiao looked up with some curiosity and saw a man and a woman walking down the stairs hand in hand.

The two women were impeccably made up, with faint smiles on their faces. They didn't look like they were coming downstairs, but rather like they were about to go out to attend some banquet.

Looking at their solemn attire and the almost perfectly controlled smiles on their faces, Lu Chengshen's expression was somewhat indescribable.

Ah!
He was worried that they might make things too formal and scare them, so he specifically called home to remind them to just be as cozy as they usually are at home.

result……

Lu Chengshen coughed lightly, "Mom and Dad, are you going out to a banquet? Shall I open the door for you?!" Lu's mother glared at her youngest son with a resentful look, "You have the nerve to say that? It's been so long, and you're finally thinking of coming home!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to hit someone, but he only raised his hand halfway before he saw Lin Xiao standing next to him.

Lin Xiao, wearing a white down jacket, stood there with a smile in her eyes, looking at the scene before her.

She gives the impression of being extremely well-behaved.

Lu's mother felt as if her heart had been struck, and she instantly went completely limp.

She immediately put her son aside, turned around and grabbed Lin Xiao's hand with a bright smile.

"Oh, this must be Xiaoxiao? When I first heard that brat say that you were a very beautiful and sensible girl, I knew you must be very pretty and sensible. Now that I see you, it's true. You look like a very likable girl."

Lin Xiao's smile was somewhat unnatural. "Hello, Auntie."

"Okay, okay, take off your down jacket first, I'll come down and have a good chat with Auntie."

She looked at Lin Xiao, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"What a lovely and charming girl. You have no idea, when I was pregnant, I longed for a daughter, but who would have thought that God would be against me and send me these two little devils in a row."

"You have no idea how envious I am of families with daughters. Now, I'm finally going to have a sweet daughter too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

Meanwhile, the three men watching the two chatting happily: ...

Lu Chengshen sidled up to Lu Mingxiao, secretly nudged his older brother's shoulder, and couldn't help but whisper a complaint.

"Big brother, didn't I remind you to keep an eye on Mom and Dad for me? Why are they acting so solemn now..."

Lu Mingxiao secretly glanced at his father, who was already looking in their direction, and then solemnly took a step to the side.

Lu Chengshen found Lu Mingxiao's actions strange, but the next second he heard his father's disapproving voice.

"You brat! Your mother and I have been giving you enough face, and you still have the nerve to be picky?!"

Lu Chengshen clicked his tongue and gave his older brother a somewhat resentful look.

Lu Mingxiao shrugged, looking completely innocent.

Just as they were arguing over something, they suddenly heard Lu's mother's serious voice.

"Xiaoxiao, we seem to be having a very pleasant conversation and getting along so well. How about you recognize me as your godmother?"

Lin Xiao exclaimed "Ah!" with a bewildered look on her face.

The more Lu's mother thought about it, the better she felt her idea was.

"Exactly! Look at the second brother's icy face, he acts like he owes him tens of thousands of dollars every day."

"Why don't you recognize me as your godmother? Then I'll introduce you to someone even better."

As Lu Chengshen listened to the increasingly outrageous words, a series of question marks appeared on his forehead.

He immediately walked to the sofa, pulled Lin Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa, behind him, and assumed a protective stance.

"Mom, what are you saying?!"

Lu's mother looked at her son with disgust. "Of course I feel sorry for Xiaoxiao! Look at your sour face! And what about your job? You're never home. What will Xiaoxiao do if you really get together with her?!"

Lin Xiao felt inexplicably guilty as he listened to Lu's mother complaining about her son.

Between the two of them, the one who is rarely home due to work seems to be... her, right?
