Chapter 3: A Life-Saving Favor!
Page (1/3)
"Little Dumpling!"
The girl wore a white cheongsam that accentuated her unique charm. Her long black hair was casually pinned up, with a few strands falling delicately across her exquisite cheeks, making her even more alluring. Her lively fox-like eyes fixed on the doorway, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Whoosh!
Little Dumpling shot forward like a rocket, crashing straight through the man blocking the door and rushing toward Chu Wanning.
Caught completely off guard, Chu Wanning instinctively opened her arms and embraced Little Dumpling. Her body, propelled by momentum, quickly tipped backward.
She decided to give up struggling—after all, it was just a fall. No big deal, it was a good test of her body’s endurance.
Closing her eyes, she braced for the impact with the floor.
Yet instead of pain, she felt a firm, warm support behind her.
The servants standing nearby: “......” They hadn’t seen a thing.
Lu Bei: “......” I’m not interested in women!
Lu Nan: “......” I’m all about abstinence and aloofness!
The two rubbed their eyes, exchanged a glance, and finally nodded.
No mistake!
The master was holding a woman in his arms!
And a beauty in a cheongsam at that!
They had just tried to intervene, but the master blocked them and personally went over to catch her!
Yes!
He caught her!
Chu Wanning instinctively looked back and met a pair of deep, beautiful eyes.
Little Dumpling was the first to react, breaking free from Chu Wanning and standing before the two men. He placed Lu Siyen’s hands together.
Perfect!
Now Chu Wanning was completely enveloped in Lu Siyen’s embrace.
Click! Click! Click!
Little Dumpling finished taking photos, quickly hid the children’s watch on his wrist, and excitedly jumped in place, shouting,
“Wow, I have a sister-in-law now! I’m going to be a little uncle soon!”
“Bei-ge, Nan-ge, did you see that? Did you see that?”
“I have the photos as proof. No one can take my sister-in-law away!”
......
Chu Wanning swore she was trying hard to push the man behind her away but simply couldn't move him.
“Little Dumpling, big brother?”
She could only call out.
The girl’s shy, embarrassed voice immediately snapped Lu Siyen back to reality, and he released the person in his arms.
“Are you hurt?”
The man’s voice was husky, less cold, filled with concern.
Chu Wanning, who had been ready to snap, lost all steam when their eyes met.
This?
How could she scold or punish him now?
She’s soft-hearted, not hard-headed!
She couldn’t help but feel that these two brothers had tricked her!
And what’s with all this sister-in-law, little nephew, little uncle business?

This little dumpling must be itching for mischief!
Lu Siyen shot a warning look at everyone present. Lu Bei, Lu Nan, and the servants quickly vanished from the scene.
Thank goodness!
Looks like the master won’t silence them!
They hadn’t seen a thing, absolutely nothing!
Besides, they were so stunned they forgot to sneak away!
“Little Dumpling, come here. What’s your name?” Chu Wanning took a deep breath and called him gently, spinning him around to check for injuries, finally relieved.
Little Dumpling immediately frowned, pouted, and complained, “Sister-in-law doesn’t even know my name?”
“Call me sister!”
“Sister-in-law!” Little Dumpling was stubborn!
“Call me sister!”
“Waa~~~” Little Dumpling pulled out a trump card!
“Whatever you say!”
The crying stopped abruptly!
“......”
Little Dumpling took a step back, straightened his pajamas, hiccupped from crying, then solemnly held out his little hand and declared,
“Sister-in-law, I’m Lu Siqing. You can call me Qingbao! From now on, you’re my officially certified sister-in-law. Don’t worry, I’ll chase away any butterflies around big brother for you!”
Chu Wanning couldn’t help but laugh at his antics! Still, she reached out and shook his hand.
Soft and squishy, it felt nice!
She couldn’t help but wonder, was this little dumpling a social butterfly now?
“Sister-in-law, you must be hungry. I was going to call you to eat, but the big bad boss blocked my way, so I cried. Usually, I’m very well-behaved!”
All the servants in the manor: “......” Nobody believed a word.
“Yes, I’m hungry! Let’s go!” Chu Wanning grabbed Qingbao’s hand and headed toward the elevator, but just as she turned, a strong arm blocked her path.
“Go wash your face. You look too ugly!” Lu Siyen looked at Lu Siqing with disdain.
Lu Siqing cared most about his looks. He wanted to rely on his face to get by—no way was he going to let his face stay dirty! He must have cried too hard earlier and needed to control it next time!
So he immediately covered his face with his chubby hands and said to Chu Wanning,
“Sister-in-law, wait here for me. I’ll be right back!”
Before she could answer, he dashed back to his bedroom.
And then!
Chu Wanning felt a gaze she couldn’t ignore.
Was she afraid?
Of course not—she met it head-on!
“You still haven’t asked me my name?”
Chu Wanning’s brows furrowed slightly.
What did she hear?
Why did it sound a little aggrieved?
Just like that little dumpling earlier?
But at least Chu Wanning confirmed one thing: these two were definitely biological brothers.
So handling the man before her the same way she coaxed the little dumpling was probably the right move.
Squinting her fox-like eyes, she parted her delicate lips and said, “Sir, please introduce yourself.”

“Lu Siyen!” The man’s voice was clear and pleasant.
“I remember now! No need to introduce yourself. Lu, you should know me well enough!”
Chu Wanning thought of the thick pile of files in the bedroom.
She had to admit Lu Siyen was efficient—he had thoroughly investigated her in a short time! Too bad, that was the original owner!
The current Chu Wanning was no longer so simple.
“Hmm, but Miss Chu, you seem different from what I know.”
Chu Wanning’s alarm bells rang. Already found out so quickly?!
Stay calm! Stay calm!
This man must be suspicious of her!
She hadn’t found any connection between the original Chu Wanning and him in her memories, so she was certain he didn’t know what Chu Wanning used to be like.
But she did know from memories how formidable Lu Siyen was!
Looks stunning!
She was a sucker for looks, and just one glance told her this man was dangerously attractive!
Also immensely powerful! Wealthy beyond measure!
Sorry, she didn’t know much about those two, but judging by where he lived, money wasn’t an issue. Money equals power—okay!
She verified her memory was accurate!
“What are you thinking? Take him downstairs to eat.”
Leaving those words behind, the man turned and left.
Downstairs in the dining room.
A long table was laid with all kinds of Western and Chinese breakfasts—easily a hundred varieties!
Lavish!
Chu Wanning lightly rubbed her stomach—she was indeed hungry!
Glancing around, she noticed Lu Siyen was absent and instantly felt a breath of fresh air.
She took a prepared plate and handed one to Qingbao.
“Qingbao, let’s pick our favorite foods ourselves, okay?”
At this moment, Qingbao was perfectly agreeable!
“Okay, sister-in-law!”
He turned and grabbed another plate.
“Even though the big bad boss made me angry this morning, I can’t let him starve. Sister-in-law, you choose food for big brother!” Building some rapport.
Chu Wanning wondered whether to accept the plate or not.
The obvious answer was yes—she took it, whether she liked it or not!
“My big brother likes crystal shrimp dumplings, lava buns, eggs Benedict, and two cups of espresso!” The cute little hand thoughtfully held up two fingers.
Chu Wanning: “......”
After this meal, she was definitely leaving here!
As for repaying the life-saving favor—
