Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 433 : 314. I, Ruan Wen, am forever a Xiao Xiao supporter.

They soaked until the water began to cool before leaving the bathtub with droplets clinging to their bodies.

"Xia Xiaoxiao, rest assured, I absolutely support you. In the end, it will definitely be us embracing the beauty... embracing Brother Fan!" Xiao Ruawen said while drying her wet hair, and she didn't forget to make a promise.

"Hmm?"

Facing Xia Xiaoxiao's deadly stare, Xiao Ruawen hastily corrected herself with a 'ptui ptui ptui': "Wrong, wrong, it's not us, not us. It's just you, Xiaoxiao."

"Hmph~ If he doesn't apologize to me, he can forget about my forgiveness in this lifetime!" Xia Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze satisfactorily, drying her smooth, white legs while speaking proudly.

Xiao Ruawen helplessly shrugged her shoulders, dried her hair, and put on Xu Qingfan's T-shirt again. As for the bra, Xia Xiaoxiao's was too small for her to wear.

Suddenly.

"Hehe... Hahaha..."

In the quiet bathroom, Xiao Ruawen's laughter suddenly rang out, especially when she looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, the girl laughed even more heartily.

"What are you laughing at now?" Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, aware of the obvious detail that Ruan Wen was laughing at her.

"Ge ge ge... er ge ge ge..." The grand slapstick act made another appearance, as Xiao Ruawen bent over, clutching her stomach, and laughed aloud.

"Pfft~" Although Xia Xiaoxiao was still rolling her eyes, she couldn't help being infected by the contagious laughter and started laughing along.

But her laughter didn't last long, only to hear Xiao Ruawen choke out through her laughter, "Haha... When Ning and Brother Fan come to see you with their kids, Xiaoxiao... hahaha... Xiaoxiao, you're still upset that Brother Fan hasn't apologized, and you won't forgive him for your whole life... hahaha!"

Xia Xiaoxiao instantly performed a vanishing act with her smile, Xiao Ruawen, after watching her, laughed even more heartily, her laughter not disappearing but simply shifting to another target.

"Stinky Ruan Wen, stop laughing!" She said angrily, her eyes attacking the girl.

"Baby, this is your little aunt Xiaoxiao... Hahaha..." Xiao Ruawen continued her ruthless teasing.

Xia Xiaoxiao imagined herself, angry at home waiting for Xu Qingfan's apology, only to end up waiting twenty years, and then one day, Xu Qingfan and Lin Wanning suddenly brought their kids to see her.

[Baby, this is your little aunt Xiaoxiao. She has been angry with your father for twenty years and refused to speak to him. Please apologize to her on behalf of Daddy.]

[Little Aunt Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry!]

[Ahhh~ No, this can't be happening!] Xia Xiaoxiao, although she looked normal on the surface, inside, her defenses had already been thoroughly breached.

Xiao Ruawen met her sharp eyes, suddenly got goosebumps, and her laughter instantly stopped.

Xia Xiaoxiao seemed still caught in her own world, not noticing that her top was half on, hanging around her neck, with her hands propping it up, exposing a light-colored half-bra, flat abdomen, and pleasing-to-the-eye 'Adonis belt.'

"Xiaoxiao?" Xiao Ruawen tentatively poked her exposed armpit.

As if touching the girl's reflex arc, Xia Xiaoxiao shivered instantaneously and came back to her senses.

Seeing that it was Xiao Ruawen's face in front of her, not some little girl coming to apologize, Xia Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Seeing that the girl finally continued to get dressed, Xiao Ruawen also let out a sigh of relief.

"Ruawen... do you also think I should apologize to Xu... should I apologize to him?" Xia Xiaoxiao dropped her eyes, looking at her own toes as she asked.

Xiao Ruawen turned into a neutral mediator, clicking her tongue, "Well, it's not about whether you should or shouldn't. Both of you were at fault, but someone has to take the first step."

"Then why shouldn't he be the one to apologize first? He clearly snapped at me first!"

Xiao Ruawen glared at the girl who interrupted her, "Xiaoxiao, you need to think bigger. Actually, being the first to apologize is the best move, it seems like a big loss, but it's actually a huge gain!"

Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao had finally stopped interrupting, she continued, "You know what kind of person Brother Fan is, he can't take harshness but responds well to gentleness. If you apologize first, he'll feel even more guilty afterward and will treat you even better. What do you call that? That's 'lure the tiger out of the mountains'!"

"But... but he broke his promise, he had promised me!" Xia Xiaoxiao felt she had already told Xiao Ruawen enough, and not afraid to share more, she clearly explained the incident at the Xiangjiang Hotel, as well as Xu Qingfan promising her not to let Lin Wanning share his bed after she got hurt by mistake.

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, I can suddenly understand why you are so angry; I would be angry too if I were in your shoes." After stepping into Xia Xiaoxiao's perspective, Xiao Ruawen instantly understood her breakdown.

"Hmph~ It was his fault to begin with, and he still lashed out at people!"

"But on the other hand," Xiao Ruawen changed her tone.

"What else is there to say, how could this be my fault!?" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at her.

"Oh come on~ Actually, it's because you were jealous of Wanning sharing Brother Fan's bed, and that whole excuse about 'men and women should not touch each other' just doesn't hold up. Admit it," Xiao Ruawen ruthlessly hit the nail on the head.

"I... I... Um." Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to stubbornly refute, but having already admitted it earlier, she reluctantly nodded.

"Brother Fan was in the wrong that day for hurting you inadvertently, so he agreed to your unfair demand, but ultimately, Xiaoxiao, you really don't have the right to demand Brother Fan to do that, especially since you aren't his girlfriend."

Xiao Ruawen secretly rejoiced in her heart, feeling that everything was back under her control. Truly, she was working her heart out for this family!

"Mm." Xia Xiaoxiao reluctantly nodded again.

"So you see, Xiaoxiao, just go ahead and apologize to Brother Fan. It will be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. Don't worry, I will always support you. Plus, if you and Brother Fan have kids in the future, I'll even be their godmother!" she promised, patting her 36D chest.

"Oh..." Xia Xiaoxiao hung her head dejectedly.

Although she knew she was at fault and that apologizing was the right thing to do, she had just declared she never wanted to see him again in this lifetime; going back now to apologize would really dent her pride!

[And who knows if that damn unbearable man will take an inch and start being harsher and bullying me more in the future!]

[But a child with Xu Qingfan... would probably be very cute...]

"Then I'll apologize tomorrow!" That was Xia Xiaoxiao's final act of stubbornness.

"Pfft~ You'll get caught off guard by Wan Ningyi or Yu doing this sooner or later!" Xiao Ruawen exasperatedly poked her head.

"Isn't Ruan Wen here to help me~" Xia Xiaoxiao said affectionately as she hugged her.

"Of course, Ruan Wen will always be Team Xiaoxiao!" Xiao Ruawen said proudly, hands on her hips.

"Wuu wuu~ Ruan Wen!"

The two of them dawdled for almost half an hour inside and finally came out of the restroom dressed.

After opening up to her best friend, Xia Xiaoxiao felt relaxed and quite happy, until she returned to the living room.

"Mom?"

Lin Jing was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, holding her cellphone like a teacher's ruler, exuding a strong aura.

In stark contrast was Wu Lingyu, who was curled up beside her.

The first thing Lin Jing said blocked all of Xia Xiaoxiao's paths of retreat: "Yu has told me everything."

Wu Lingyu nodded her head in agreement, frantically signaling with her eyes.

Wu Lingyu didn't mean to snitch, but being a novice at lying, she wasn't good at lying to elders. As soon as Lin Jing asked, she stuttered and spilled everything that happened in the morning.

"I..."

Before her own daughter could speak, Lin Jing interrupted, "You're almost in high school and still acting so immature. Think about how Qingfan has taken care of you ever since you were young. When has he ever enjoyed good food or fun without thinking of you? How can you say you never want to see each other again in this lifetime!"

"I... but he was the one who started being mean to me!" Xia Xiaoxiao felt an immediate surge of grievance since her mom wasn't taking her side.

"That's because you wronged Qingfan. Does Qingfan ever lose his temper? If you were the one wronged by Qingfan, you would have exploded long ago!" Lin Jing frowned, adopting the attitude she used for scolding naughty students in class.

What she also wanted to say was that Wanning loved to snuggle into Qingfan's bed, so why was she throwing a tantrum? She liked Qingfan too, so she could snuggle as well. How can she handle the future with such stubbornness!

Lin Jing didn't know that Xia Xiaoxiao had already been persuaded by Xiao Ruawen and was just waiting for her anger to abate before apologizing to Xu Qingfan. To prevent her daughter from straying further from Qingfan, she had to assert her maternal authority.

[I'm really wracking my brains out here as a mom!]

But this approach obviously backfired, and Xia Xiaoxiao felt nothing but betrayal and a heart full of grievances, with tears quickly streaming down her face.

"Apologize to Qingfan this afternoon; don't be so willful anymore." Lin Jing's heart softened when she saw her daughter crying, but for Xiaoxiao's future happiness, she continued to speak sternly.

"Why should I apologize to him? He even called me a giant baby in QQ, and said I'm annoying. I won't bother him anymore, I will never apologize to him in this lifetime!" Xia Xiaoxiao shouted stubbornly like a defiant child.

"You!" Lin Jing was so angered that she was at a loss for words. She had never scolded Xia Xiaoxiao from childhood, to the point that now she was unable to start.

"Ss!" Xiao Ruawen clenched her fists in unbearable pain, looking blankly at the ceiling. She had just persuaded Xia Xiaoxiao, and now it was all ruined.

This heavy-laden journey of hers, when would it ever end!

"Auntie, please calm down. Xiaoxiao is just upset; she'll be fine after a sleep, just fine after a sleep." Xiao Ruawen flattered as she ran up to give Lin Jing a massage, trying to ease the tension.

Seeing the tearful Xia Xiaoxiao, Lin Jing felt immense pity.

For anything else, she would have yielded to her daughter already, but she truly wanted Xu Qingfan to be her son-in-law, so she finally said, "I've watched Qingfan grow up since he was little. He wouldn't be like this unless he was really angry."

"Hmph!" Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head with a face full of grievances and went back to her bedroom.

"Auntie, don't you have work today? I'll handle Xiaoxiao. You should go to work first," Xiao Ruawen thought, hoping her beloved aunt would stop talking!

"Thanks for your help," Lin Jing nodded in appreciation.

"It's nothing, Auntie, just my duty... I should do it."

"Mm."

After waving goodbye to the parent, Xiao Ruawen and Wu Lingyu finally relaxed in the living room.

When they returned to the bedroom, as expected, Xia Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, secretly shedding tears.

Hearing their footsteps, the young girl turned away, not wanting them to see, but her trembling quilt had already betrayed her.

"It's alright, Auntie just doesn't know the full story, plus she likes Brother Fan, so she was a bit harsh," Xiao Ruawen comforted as she climbed onto the bed and hugged her from behind.

"Mm." Xia Xiaoxiao just nodded.

Wu Lingyu felt she had caused more trouble, continuing to message Xu Qingfan with her phone, believing the omnipotent Brother Fan could resolve the situation.

If Xiao Ruawen knew what she was thinking right now, she would definitely sneer. Maintaining harmony in this household was up to her, Ruan Wen!

"Don't worry, maybe Auntie just likes Brother Fan. Brother Fan's mom likes you just as much. After we wake up, let's go complain to Mrs. Yao, and have her teach him a lesson!"

"Right, let Auntie teach him a lesson!" Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes brightened as she sniffled and spoke.

"Teach him a lesson!" Xiao Ruawen repeated.

"Teach him a lesson!" Xia Xiaoxiao said firmly.

"But Xiaoxiao, you should still find a chance to apologize to Brother Fan; if not tomorrow, then the day after is fine. Don't really let it get to you." Seeing the young girl lower her guard, Xiao Ruawen gently suggested.

"Hmph~ if Auntie asks me to apologize, I'll go!" With her backer, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly felt more confident and began to look forward to Xu Qingfan coming to apologize, dragged by his ears by Mrs. Yao.

[This is so hard...]
