After hearing what she said, Xuxu was more adamant not to let her come back . "It's much of a rush and stressful for you . Please don't put yourself through so much trouble . I'll pass back the phone to him, okay?"
The flight home would take more than 20 hours . It would be too exhausting for her .
"Then you must give me your word that you'll have a good talk with the Third Yan, okay?" All of a sudden, Mu Li no longer sounded eager to return .
Xuxu reluctantly responded with an 'Okay' .
She had no choice even though she knew that Mu Li was resorting to desperate measures, just in case she really does come back .
She was definitely capable of suddenly appearing in front of her and Yan Rusheng .
So, she would rather not take the gamble .

"Our Xuxu is still the most obedient . " Mu Li laughed joyfully . " Go take a quick shower . I'll communicate with the both of you via video call in a while . "
Communicate with them via video call…?
Without giving a second thought, Xuxu replied swiftly, "I've not taken my dinner . Let's have the video call tomorrow instead . "
Perhaps, communicating with them individually via separate video calls would be even better .
"I missed both of you too much, so please let me have a quick look at you," requested Mu Li . There was a trace of melancholic longing in her voice .
Xuxu didn't have the heart to reject her because when she said that she missed them, she's definitely not faking it .
She nodded her head and answered lightly, "Okay . "
Her tummy was rumbling after she ended the call . She placed her hand over her tummy as she looked at the clock in the living room . It was already past 11 p . m .

She had yet to have her dinner .
Just then, the meticulous Aunt Zhang walked out of the dining room and she saw how Xuxu had shown her hunger through her actions . She made a quick guess that she was famished, She then smiled at her . "Missy, Young Master had instructed me to cook spicy pickled fish with handmade noodles and it is almost ready . "
Spicy pickled fish with handmade noodles?
That was her favorite noodles . But was it really Yan Rusheng who had instructed it?
If someone else had told her, she would have believed right away . But since it came from Aunt Zhang's mouth, inevitably, she would have her suspicions about the old lady's motives .
Xuxu frowned and looked at the elderly lady's pleasant smile . Only by scrutinizing her, would she be able to detect if there were any traces of craftiness & hidden agendas in her smile .
She thought, if it wasn't the old lady who had updated Aunt Mu Li on a daily basis, given that she's in Country Y . then how could Aunt Mu Li be so well-informed about the details of hers and Yan Rusheng's life?
But she understood that the elderly lady meant well, otherwise she wouldn't have been so worried for them .
"Let me get changed first before eating . "
After that, she shuffled on her feet and moved towards the staircase .
Once upstairs, she hurriedly removed her tight fitting clothes and changed into comfortable home wear . She felt more relaxed after that .
She went downstairs and headed straight to the dining room .
When she set foot on the dining room, the first thing she saw was a man slurping on his noodles—it astounded her .
"Why was he eating noodles too?"
"Missy, quickly come over and have your noodles before it turns lumpy . " Aunt Zhang carried a piping hot bowl of noodles out from the kitchen and greeted Xuxu when she saw her .
Xuxu looked at her and nodded . "Oh, okay . "
She walked over and sat facing Yan Rusheng .
Be it day or night, they had always been sitting in this manner at the dining table, facing each other and eating their meals without uttering a word .
"There were some leftover noodles and Third Young Master suggested to cook spicy pickled fish to go with it . " Aunt Zhang served the bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Xuxu . She specifically stressed that it was Yan Rusheng's idea to cook spicy pickled fish noodles .
She was obviously hinting to Xuxu that he was accommodating her .
Xuxu pursed her lips . This old lady must have been instigated by Madam Mu Li .
In the past, she would only stand by and looked on anxiously . But now, she had the courage to take actions .
Yan Rusheng stopped eating for a moment and glanced at the old lady who was cunningly smiling .
