Chapter 73 - Just how strong was his charm?

"Do I have a choice? Yun Xuan replied.

She indeed had no useful idea of her own and could only rely on Wan Jia to get her out of this mess.

"In that case I should get going before my sweetheart dies from missing me too much." Wan Jia was bashful like a little girl experiencing her first love.

Yun Xuan held her back. "Wait, I haven't asked you yet. How did the two of you end up together? Wasn't he your arch nemesis?"

"Wan Jia rolled her eyes at her like she had asked a very ridiculous question. Isn't it obvious? We kissed and made up."

"Kissed and made up… that did sound like something these two idiots would do.

…

Baby, I am back!" Wan Jia called out when she reached the house.

"Mommy!" Little Jia immediately flew over, even accidentally knocking over the building blocks her father had so painstakingly helped her build. She ran all the way downstairs and into her mother's arms.

Wan Jia took the little girl into her arms and inhaled her sweet refreshing scent. "Did baby miss me?"

"Yes mommy, Little Jia missed you so so much."

"Yes." Lu Aotian's voice filled the air. He had left the room at some point and had replied at the same time with Little Jia.

'I have to use different nicknames for these two' Wan Jia made a mental note.

"My love, did you wait too long?" she went up to him and pecked his lips when she thought Little Jia wasn't looking.

Lu Aotian smiled. "Not too long. Don't forget we have a date a 7pm" he reminded. He was afraid she might have gossiped so much with her friend that she forgot about it.

"Of course we do. I still have four hours." She rolled her eyes. It was only 3pm. Why was he already rushing her?

She was quite nervous. The other day they spent at the theme park couldn't really be counted as a date after all; this was their first real date.

"Xiao Lin, help me contact the makeup artist." She said to the maid who usually handled all matters related to her.

Although she had only been living in Southside Villa for less than two months, Lu Aotian had brought back her old stylist and makeup artist.

She took exactly three hours dressing up. The make up artist had been tortured to redo over and over despite Wan Jia already looking like a goddess in the first attempt. She didn't like make up since she already looked perfect without it, but for their date she was definitely going to have youthful make up and it had to be perfect to the core.

"You look handsome!" Wan Jia looked at Lu Aotian who was waiting for her living room with eyes full of awe. "So so handsome. Otherworldly cool!" she was practically a fan girl in love at the moment. It was her first time seeing Lu Aotian in a sapphire blue tuxedo. Although she had already seen him in other colors including navy blue, she had to admit that this color made him look like a show stopper.

"You look beautiful" his eyes were a little dazed and fiery as he looked at the beauty before him. She had really worn red tonight, and it was even the best evening dress he had bought her. Such good taste, she did not disappoint him. The two of them looked like a couple that had just landed straight from heaven as they held hands and made their way to the door.

"Will Little Jia stay alone till we come back?" even though she was with her beloved, she still held a little affection to care for her daughter.

Just as she finished speaking, "Second uncle!" Little Jia's baby voice shouted from the house followed by a cheerful little girl dashing out of the house like an arrow. Lu Shaoting had just arrived.

"Shaoting will take care of her." Lu Aotian answered, although he didn't really have to.

"Second uncle hug, second uncle hug, second uncle huuuuug!" the little girl was brimming with excitement in the car park even before Lu Shaoting got out of the car.

He quickly got out and picked up the adorable little girl who already had her arms open for a hug. "Uncle's favorite baby, second uncle missed you."

"I missed second uncle even more!"

"Ay, you have become slightly taller and your hair is even much longer."

"Hey bro, sister in law." Lu Shaoting finally noticed the two people at the side after exchanging pleasantries with his little niece and giving her candy.

"He he, my dear brother, I didn't really think you would actually reconcile with sister in law so easily. Tell me, how did you manage to seduce her?" he looked like he wanted to find a notebook to take down the tips. He had to hand it to his brother when it came to romance. Although he had been deceived by women twice, both of them had fallen in love with him and were unwilling to part ways with him. Just how strong was his charm?

As for him, he he, he had only ever fancied one girl since he was a teenager and had done his best to please her. He had not even cared when the girl ignored him. She had even broken up severally and been in many relationships but he who bore the torch still believed that she would one day notice him. That was until she finally stopped fooling around and married his best friend.
