Chapter 613 Another Monster
With no other choice, Cheng Xiangyun complied and took Erbao away. Alas, Erbao wasn’t cooperative. She clearly heard a child’s voice coming from outside, so she was adamant about taking a look at the child.
Kicking her stumpy legs, she protested, “Let me go, Aunt Xiang! There’s a kid outside! It’s not a bad guy!”
Cheng Xiangyun also thought Qiao Zhan was overreacting as she was pretty certain the voice belonged to a child and that there was no need for them to be so nervous.
Therefore, after she brought Erbao away from the entrance, she stopped some distance away, intending to see who the visitor was.
Of course, Qiao Zhan wasn’t scared of a child. He was simply worried someone had used a kid to trick them into opening the door before launching an ambush.
After opening the door, they could see that it was indeed a child standing outside, and a pretty little girl at that.
The girl seemed to be around Erbao’s age. She had fair skin, and a tiny mouth. Her hair was woven into two short braids, and her eyes glimmered like black gemstones.
For a second, Qiao Zhan thought she looked similar to Erbao.
After the door was opened, the girl glared at Qiao Zhan. “Why did it take you so long to open the door?”
Before he could answer, she stepped right into the inn.
Quickly, the man grabbed her. “What are you doing, kid?”
The girl glared at him with disdain. “Don’t touch me. You’re a man. How can you touch a girl as you please? How shameless!”
Qiao Zhan stilled for a moment before immediately letting go of the girl’s hand. “Please don’t say that. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“You clearly did. Who are you? Why are you so big?” The girl continued fixing her gaze on Qiao Zhan.
The man wasn’t sure how he should react. “I’m an adult, so of course I’m big. Who are you? You can’t come inside here. Go play somewhere else.”
Loudly, the girl claimed, “How about you go play somewhere else instead? This is my home! I’m the second princess here.”
“Second princess?” He was somewhat befuddled.
“You’re the guest staying at my family’s establishment, right? My mom is the queen here, so what would I be if not the second princess? Let me go! I want to go inside!”
Queen? Princess?
Qiao Zhan was utterly confounded by the royal terms she was using.
“I think I get it now, Uncle Qiao Zhan. Her mommy is the owner of the inn. This is her home,” Erbao explained.
Her soft voice drew the girl’s attention.
The girl, who was an extrovert, promptly greeted Erbao, “Hi, how are you? Are you staying here?”
Erbao was ecstatic because the girl was around her age and looked pretty. Looks like I’ve found my soulmate!
Thus, she struggled to break free from Cheng Xiangyun’s grasp so that she could go over and greet the girl.
Cheng Xiangyun didn’t think a child would pose any danger to Erbao, so she let go of the little girl, allowing her to socialize.
The two children speedily approached each other before stopping when they were one meter away from one another. As they curiously studied their counterpart, theyy realized that their appearances were quite similar.
“I’m Ning Sihan… Oh, no, Nan Sihan. What’s your name?” Erbao asked.
The girl was perplexed. “How can you get your own name wrong?”
“I didn’t get it wrong. I was called Ning Sihan, but then my name changed to Nan Sihan,” explained Erbao with a serious tone.
“Why change the name? Is it because your new name sounds better?” questioned the girl, furrowing her brows.
“I don’t know why, but Daddy was the one who changed it. I think both my names sound pretty nice.”
“Ah, I see. I’m Lu Yunxue. This building, Mountview Inn, takes after my name. My mommy’s the owner of this establishment!” the girl informed proudly.
Both Cheng Xiangyun and Qiao Zhan heard the girls’ exchange clearly.
They knew the inn’s owner was a woman and that she hadn’t been around because she was on a trip.
The entire building was currently rented to Qiao Zhan and company. A few staff members would stop by to clean the place every day. Usually, the establishment wasn’t open to other guests.
To their surprise, the owner’s daughter, the self-proclaimed second princess, came to visit that day.
“Can we play together in the future?” Erbao asked gleefully.
Joyfully, Lu Yunxue replied, “Of course! I have lots of toys that I can share with you!”
“Yay!”
Cheng Xiangyun approached Lu Yunxue. “Where did you come from, kid? Where are your parents?”
“Are you referring to my mommy? I got separated from them at the airport, so I hailed a car and came back here by myself. They should be here soon.” Lu Yunxue put on an unbothered mien.
“You were separated from your mother? She must be anxious right now. I bet she’s looking for you everywhere. You should give her a call,” suggested Cheng Xiangyun.
“It’s fine. My mommy won’t get worried because I get lost all the time. When that happens, I always come back here to wait for them. You don’t have to worry.”
“You get lost all the time?” Cheng Xiangyun was shocked. Looks like this girl is yet another little monster!
“Yeah, I love wandering around. If I get lost, my mommy won’t need to find me because I know my way back home.” The girl looked pleased with herself.
“Aren’t you afraid of running into bad people when hailing for a taxi?”
“There are no bad guys in a police car. It’s fine.”
Lu Yunxue’s reply shocked Cheng Xiangyun even more. So she was talking about a police car? She really is a little devil. I’m honestly amazed that she would just ask the cops to send her back home after getting lost.
“Wait. That doesn’t seem right. The police officer should’ve made sure you were with your parents before they leave.”
“They don’t have to. They know who I am and that I live here, so it’s fine.”
Cheng Xiangyun was impressed. I can’t believe this girl’s treating a police car like her own private vehicle. Not to mention the officers have gotten familiar with her!
Dabao was reading a book when he heard the commotion and decided to check out what was going on.
The moment he noticed the girl resembled his sister, he instantly took a liking to her.
“Wow, you two look so similar to each other! Twins, right? That’s so sad.” Lu Yunxue laughed, clapping.
“Why’s that?” Her comment confused Dabao.
“Even though you two look similar, one of you is a boy, and the other a girl, meaning you two can’t wear matching clothes!”
Everyone was once again befuddled. Why is it sad to not be able to wear matching clothes? She has such a low standard of considering something to be sad. According to her logic, most people around the globe are pathetic.
Dabao couldn’t comprehend her logic, but he didn’t like getting involved in arguments, so he kept quiet.
Right then, someone knocked on the door. Lu Yunxue promptly pointed at the entrance. “My mommy’s back!”
Thus, Qiao Zhan opened the door and saw a beauty outside.
She had a round face, shoulder-length hair, elegant facial features, a gentle temperament, and an exquisite figure.
Next to her was a girl who was just as charming.
Her appearance was almost identical to Lu Yunxue. She was even clad in the same outfit as the other girl, though her hairstyle was different.
Most importantly, their temperament was contrasting.
Lu Yunxue was an extrovert and a social butterfly who began running her mouth as soon as she stepped in.
The girl at the entrance, on the other hand, was quiet and reserved despite looking exactly like Lu Yunxue.
Not only did she remain completely silent, but she also wore an icy expression.
Qiao Zhan met plenty of aloof people before. For example, Nan Chen was a typical cold and distant person.
However, that was the first time Qiao Zhan saw such a young child displaying a frosty expression.
