Chapter 544 - Im not your aunty (1/2)

She went to MAX as soon as she left YX Dance Academy.

”What happened to my baby? You look upset.” Wan Jia took her daughter's hand and made her sit, then had Seventeen bring her a cup of coffee.

”I'm... just nervous. I only have six days before the auditions.”

Wan Jia understood that the girl probably didn't want to talk about it yet, so she let her be. ”You should visit your grandparents soon. They miss you a lot.”

”Oh! It's been long since I last saw grandma. Can I go over tomorrow?”

Wan Jia glanced at her curiously. ”Why can't you go today? You have plans already?”

Lu Meili cheered up instantly, as though she had taken an instant 'happiness' shot. ”If I'm going to the Lin residence, of course I'm taking my brother with me. He is after all the only grandson of the Lin family. Obviously, the main point is that grandma misses him too.”

Wan Jia chuckled at her suddenly cheerful daughter.

Having a child who was this easy to pacify was every parent's dream.

”CEO, you have a meeting with all designers in thirty minutes.” Seventeen reminded.

Lu Meili wouldn't ever stop being awed by her father's brilliance. Seventeen was an even more capable assistant that the secretary Carla.

”Mom, you should prepare for your meeting, right? I will go home and wait for Xian Yu.”

Wan Jia pulled her back. ”You are always very busy. Don't you want to spend some time with mommy?”

Lu Meili shyly understood what her mother was worried about. ”Mom, I'll be fine. I cannot let a man make me depressed. No matter how much I love him, I cannot give him that ability.”

”As expected, you were upset because of Xu Tang.” Although her tone revealed her worry, her eyes looked murderous. That Xu Tang! How dare he?

Lu Meili played with her fingers. She didn't expect her mother to read through her like an open book. ”Mom, I'll be fine really. Can't you see? I'm not heartbroken.”

Wan Jia rolled a pen. ”Yeah, I can see that very clearly.” 'I will never fall in love again' is written all over your face. How can I not see that?

In the end, Lu Meili chose to stay with her mother. She felt safest beside her after all.

...

In the evening, Wan Jia was finally done with all her work for the day. She had managed to perfectly balance her attention between her daughter and her work.

”Little Li, I'll let Carla drop you home first. I have somewhere to go first.”

After spending a whole afternoon chatting with her mother, she was indeed happier. ”Yes mom.”

”Have dinner first, okay?”

”Mmh.”
