167: How nice it would be if it could always be like this.

As Lu Chen stepped out of his room, before he had taken more than a few steps, he heard a sound from Chen Mengyao's room, next to Gu Xiaoxiao's room.

Immediately after, the doorknob slowly turned, and the door creaked open.

Chen Mengyao emerged from the room with her younger sister, Chen Xuening.

Chen Mengyao was dressed in an exquisite maid outfit, a black dress that accentuated her graceful figure, with a circle of white lace trim adorning the hem, swaying gently with her movements.

A white apron was tied at her waist, further highlighting her slender figure. Her hair was neatly tied back into a playful ponytail, with a few wisps falling along her cheeks, adding a touch of softness to her appearance.

Her eyes were bright and spirited, like stars twinkling in the night sky, and beneath her high nose bridge was a slightly flushed cherry-red mouth, appearing exceptionally charming.

Chen Xuening, on the other hand, wore a cute floral dress. The light pink background was printed with scattered small flower patterns, full of childlike innocence.

A large bow was tied at the neckline of the dress, swaying gently with her movements.

Her fair cheeks were rosy, like ripe apples, and her large, watery eyes seemed to speak, lively and playful.

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing two shallow dimples, making one unable to help but feel fondness for her.

As Chen Mengyao stepped out, her gaze immediately fell upon Lu Chen.

Her eyes instantly lit up, and her already bright eyes immediately burst forth with a light of surprise.

That light was like fireworks blooming in the night sky, dazzling and brilliant. Her cheeks quickly flushed, spreading from her cheeks to her earlobes, red like ripe cherries.

Her eyes held a hint of shyness, mixed with a touch of joy, as if she was recalling yesterday's kiss with Lu Chen.

That sweet feeling once again welled up in her heart, causing her heartbeat to involuntarily quicken.

Chen Mengyao looked at Lu Chen, her voice tinged with joy and shyness, and said, "President Lu, you... why are you here?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, his expression calm and showing no trace of anything amiss, and said,

"I just arrived as well. I was worried you might not be comfortable living here, so I came to check."

Chen Mengyao was slightly taken aback, a warm current welling up in her heart.

She was very familiar with Lu Chen's habits; normally, he would sleep in very late, usually not waking until late morning.

But it was only eight o'clock in the morning now, and Lu Chen was already here, which made her genuinely feel how much Lu Chen valued her and her sister.

Chen Mengyao's heart was filled with emotion, and her already shy expression became even more pronounced. She lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.

She said softly, her voice filled with deep gratitude, "Thank you, President Lu. My sister and I are living very well here."

After speaking, she gently pulled her sister Chen Xuening's small hand and leaned close to her ear, whispering, "Quickly thank President Lu."

Chen Xuening was very familiar and close with Lu Chen.

She looked up, gazing at Lu Chen, her face beaming with a sweet smile, her eyes narrowed into slits, like crescent moons.

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a set of clean, even white teeth, and two small dimples faintly appeared on her cheeks, making her utterly adorable.

She said clearly, "Thank you, Big Brother Lu!"

Lu Chen walked over and gently stroked Chen Xuening's head, a gentle smile on his face, and said, "You're welcome."

Then, Lu Chen looked at Chen Mengyao and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Chen Mengyao blinked, her lively eyes sparkling like stars, and said,

"To work, of course. Xuening said she wanted to see my work environment, so I planned to take her to see it. Or perhaps I should just have Xuening stay in the room..."

She thought Lu Chen might find this inappropriate, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, her eyes revealing a hint of apprehension, and her tone became somewhat anxious, afraid that her decision would displease Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to work this morning. I'll take you and Xuening to meet Xiao Xi. They will be attending the same school in the future, and who knows, they might even become very good friends."

Chen Mengyao was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, which was then quickly replaced by joy.

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a brilliant smile, and she quickly nodded, saying, "Good, good!"

Lu Chen reached out and gently took one of Chen Xuening's hands, saying, "Then let's go."

Chen Mengyao also reached out and took Chen Xuening's other hand.

The three stood together, the scene utterly harmonious.

Chen Xuening, held between Lu Chen and Chen Mengyao, looked exceptionally small and cute.

Her face was beaming with a happy smile, and she was cheerfully skipping and jumping.

The sunlight spilled onto them, bathing them in a golden glow, making the entire scene resemble a warm painting, filled with warmth and love.

They were like a happy family of three, hand in hand, walking downstairs together.

Chen Xuening looked up at Lu Chen for a moment, then up at her sister, her face full of sweet smiles.

Her little mind couldn't help but think:

"How wonderful it would be if it could always be like this ~"
