nThe moment Luo Lixi entered the ancestral hall, she saw the back of another person. As she had expected it was none other than her brother. She ignored him and walked ahead.

nWhen Luo Lixiang heard a noise, he lifted his head a bit and saw her feet. Luo Lixi bowed at the front and then gently sat down on the ground in a kneeling position.

nShe had so many fluffy clothes on her body that it was difficult to guess if she was truly kneeling or sitting in a lotus position.

n

"The old man has sent you to kneel? I got to see such a day too?!

" Luo Lixiang said sarcastically but his voice was hoarse. In the past few days, he had been undergoing a lot of intensive 'training' which was impossible to think about in the past for him.

nLuo Lixi turned to him and before she could ask anything she was taken aback. At that moment Luo Lixiang looked so battered that Luo Lixi doubted her eyes.

n'Is it still that spoiled boy?!'

nLuo Lixiang saw her astonishment and became quiet. He became embarrassed and looked down on the floor. Contrary to her, he had only a few clothes on his body and it was impossible to ward off the coldness with that. Thus, currently, his lips were dry, his face was pale and his hair was messy.

nThe hall was made of wood and it would be cool in summer and coldest in the winter. Not to say, it was snowing outside…

nLuo Lixi asked in a low voice,

"You, are you okay?

"

nLuo Lixiang lifted his head and sneered,

"Do I look okay?!

"

n

"You can reply like that, so I guess you are…

" Luo Lixi shrugged her shoulders and then turned around to look ahead.

n

"...

" Luo Lixiang.

nShe felt very reluctant to talk with him. And it wasn't the first time either. From the moment he was born, she was even reluctant to stay near him.

nAt that time, she made up with the situation but now that he had become an adult and his complexion didn't look so good, she was even more against the idea of staying with him in the same room for a long time.

n'There is still that thing…' Luo Lixi recalled the matter of Luo Qintian giving her the shares and what Luo Lixiang had done in her past life to prevent her from getting it.

nThus, with small movements, she moved away from him and kept a large distance among them. Before leaving, she took off a fluffy jacket and threw it at him.

n

"?

" Luo Lixiang looked at her with confusion.

n

"Kneel on it or soon, you'll lose your legs…

"

nLuo Lixiang blankly stared at the jacket that fell in front of him and then turned to her. Even though she gave him one, she did not lack fluffy clothes.

nAfter leaving his perimeter, Luo Lixi kneeled on the floor and stared ahead. All thanks to her intelligence, she didn't feel cold at all.

nAfter a long time, when it got too unbearable, Luo Lixiang finally picked up the jacket and kneeled on it. By that time, Luo Lixi was already hungry.

n'I am not hungry, my baby is…' As she thought that, she sneakily took out nuts she had brought earlier and begun to munch on them.

nEven though she tried to be quiet, how could it escape Luo Lixiang's ears when the squeaky sound of her was reverberating in the whole ancestral hall?

nLuo Lixiang tried to be indifferent as much as possible but he could ignore it any longer when she became carefree and began to open packets of food with a loud noise.

nThe smell came to him and slapped his nostrils nonstop. Being irritated, he spoke out,

"Eating here is humiliating to our …

"

n

"I am sure my great grandfather or great grandmother would never feel that way. Rather, shouldn't they be happy that we are eating well?!

" Luo Lixi turned to him and said with a smile.

nAt the same time, she threw a nut in her mouth and then crushed him with a loud sound.

n

"...

" Luo Lixiang wasn't childish enough to call others and report her. As he tried to ignore her, he looked ahead.

nBut how could he do it for a long time as he had been starving from the morning? He couldn't stop his mouth and finally blurted out,

"Give me some too or I will call grandfather!

"

nBut as soon as he said that he became embarrassed and looked away from her.

n

"Okay~

" Luo Lixi replied curtly and then threw some packets towards him. Luo Lixiang hurriedly picked them up and then quickly looked back less someone was looking at them.

nAs he was reassured he opened the packets and alongside Luo Lixi, began to eat them slowly.

nLuo Qintian, who was watching all of these from his room by the CCTV camera didn't know whether he should be mad or be amused.

n

"XIxi is hungry. How can you do this to my children?!

" Madam Tang threw daggers at him through her old eyes as he saw her poor grandchildren eating children's snacks in that cold place.

nShe didn't want to go to that place and would go there once every few months.

n'This man, he dared to send them in such cold weather… sigh!' Madam Tang could only sigh.

nLuo Qintian was rather enjoying it and didn't pay any attention to words. Thus, Madam Tang had to stop her words and turn to the screen with worry. But soon she also laughed out loud because Luo Lixi turned to sit in a lotus position and brazenly began to eat her snacks.

nWhen someone does it and then doing it yourself wasn't weird at all. Luo Lixiang also followed her steps and sat in the lotus position, eating like her as well.

nThus, rather than punishment, it became a place for Luo Lixi for eating and relaxing. Luo Qintian finally realised it was useless to punish her like that. Thus, after one and half an hour, he instructed someone to bring Luo Lixi to her bedroom. In the process, Luo Lixiang got pardoned as well.

nLuo Qintian didn't pursue the matter and let them stay peacefully for a few days. But soon, Luo Lixiang was sent to experience the harshness of the world. At that moment, Luo Lixi became too busy.

nGoing to Luo Corporation, then managed her DreamArt. She even established a branch of it in the Long city. Life became so busy but even at that time, she didn't feel at ease for a moment.

nEvery morning Luo Lixi would stand in front of the large mirror of her room and then expose her stomach. She would move from side to side and then rub her belly worriedly.

n

"Why is it still flat?

" Luo Lixi whispered and worriedly looked down on her belly.

"I have been eating so much yet where is there no change?!

"

n

"What change?

" Su Mengsi asked as she walked inside. At her abrupt arrival, Luo Lixi flinched out in shock and hurriedly hid her belly.

n

"Ah, Ma, you should knock before you come. You scared me half to death!

" Luo Lixi whined as she moved to Su Mengsi and hugged her arm.

n

"You little girl, are you trying to gain weight? You should have told me.

" Su Mengsi said happily as she looked at Luo Lixi's belly and then abruptly pinched her,

"You are so skinny…

"

n

"...

" Luo Lixi jumped up in fright at her sudden pinch. She rubbed her abdomen with a painful expression and asked,

"Really?!

"

n

"Or else?

" Su Mengsi said as she shook her head in exasperation.

"You young generation, always like to stay like a skeleton. I am so worried about you. You look like a stick...

"

n'Stick… Stick…' While Su Mengsi was worried about one thing, Luo Lixi was worried about another thing. She was worried that instead of gaining weight, she was losing instead.

n

"Ma, I want to put some fat on my body! You should help me!

" Luo Lixi took Su Mengsi's hands and shook them violently.

n

"Ah? Really?!

" Su Mengsi was so happy that she instantly thought of many dishes in her mind and left to make them.

nAs Su Mengsi left, the room became quiet again. Luo Lixi sat on the fluffy bed and instinctively her eyes went towards the phone.

nHer mood became complicated and she crawled to get it. After thinking for a while, she dialed a number. After ringing for some time, finally, someone picked it up.

n

"Huang…

" Luo Lixi's voice trailed off in uncertainty,

"How's his condition?

"

nXiao Huang didn't reply and stared ahead. On the other side of the glass wall, Sheng Ruming was seated on a patient chair, currently, his eyes were tightly shut. Two psychiatrists and one doctor were monitoring him closely.

n

"Huang, I can't wait for a long time…

" Luo Lixi whispered with anxiety. She would never allow her child to be known as illegitimate.

n

"Boss, he…

" Xiao Huang didn't know what to say either.
