Chapter 57: The Released Green-eyed Monster
When Yan Yinlan heard that, he looked at Yan Yunge with sympathy. Though he was still young, he knew that such words were enraging, not to mention how Yan Yunge’s temper was not very good in the first place. He sighed helplessly and took a peep at Yan Yunge.
Anger consumed Yan Yunge. Even though he valued Lu An’an a lot, he still felt uncomfortable hearing that. He had always been nice to her. And today, he even told Li Lihua that they were a couple, but now, she was telling an outsider that he was her distant cousin?
Could it be that she had a crush on this man?
Just as Yan Yunge was about to lose his temper, Yan Yinlan secretly tugged his hand. He turned his head to look at the chubby kid beside him, not knowing what was up.

Yan Yinlan let out a wide beam and said, “We’ll wait in the car, Aunt An’an.”
After making up that absurd lie, Lu An’an knew she had gone overboard. Now, she felt even more embarrassed. Slowly, her face turned red.
Lu Xiao could feel that something was up, and in curiosity, he turned to Yan Yunge. Though they knew each other, Lu Xiao wasn’t close with him. Neither did he know about him having a kid, nor did his friend, Lu An’an, his cousin.
He was more than perplexed, but he didn’t know how to bring it up.
Just moments ago, Yan Yunge was still furious, but now that he heard Yan Yinlan saying that, he began to find things fun. He looked at Lu An’an, whose face was flushed red, and he sneered, “You two have a good chat, okay, cousin?”
Since she said they were cousins, he should follow through on what a cousin would do.
Lu An’an felt awkward enough. And now, Yan Yunge was teasing her as Yan Yinlan did. She wished the ground would open up and swallow her now. “I’ll see you at school then,” she said hurriedly, refusing to remain in this atmosphere.
Lu Xiao glanced at them in confusion. He hadn’t even said a word. What did ‘see you at school’ mean? Suppressing his curiosity with all his might, he asked, “Are you guys in a hurry?”
Yan Yunge and Yan Yinlan stood at the side watching the other two, wondering how things would play out. Almost roguish, Yan Yunge jumped in and answered the question for Lu An’an. “No. Not really.”
Lu Xiao smiled in relief. “That’s great. I haven’t seen An’an for a while. Since you don’t have any plans, why don’t we have dinner together?” Initially, he had only wanted to have dinner with Lu An’an. It was basic manners to invite the bystanders along.
Lu An’an had thought the awkward exchange was ending, but Lu Xiao caught her by surprise by inviting her to dinner. She was at a loss.
Yan Yunge knew little about Lu Xiao. Yet, when he did a background check on Lu An’an, he didn’t find anything suspicious between the two. However, judging by the current circumstances, things weren’t as simple as he had thought.
Lu Xiao seemed to be very interested in his girl.
“Yan Yinlan’s sick. Let’s get him home first.” Lu An’an smiled apologetically. “We’ll have dinner some other time.”
Lu Xiao nodded in disappointment.
Watching them exchange gazes, Yan Yunge felt a fire burning within him.
It was only a meal. Of course, he would go.
“It’s all right. The kiddo hasn’t had any good food for a long time. Let’s all go.” Though he was grinning, the words came out of his mouth through his gritted teeth.
