CHAPTER 184: CHAPTER 179: ISN’T THIS WHAT WAS MENTIONED? (FIVE UPDATES)

Connie looked nervously at Tong Aino. "How about we just throw it away?"

Tong Aino glanced at her. "If you like it, keep it. Just put it away properly so no one sees it."

Connie clutched the mask tightly to her chest and followed Yi Luowa upstairs.

"The pajamas are all ready for you. Go wash up and rest." Xiaoyudian first escorted Connie into the guest room. "My bedroom is right below you. If you need anything, just call me or give me a ring."

Connie smiled warmly, said goodnight to both of them, and turned to go inside. She needed to hide the mask first.

Yi Luowa pressed her lips into a smile and went with Xiaoyudian to the guest room next door. If she remembered correctly, this room should be directly above Tong Airui’s bedroom.

"Sister Yu, you’ve had a long day too. Get some rest early. I can take care of myself."

Xiaoyudian smiled and followed her inside. "Duoduo is already asleep. I don’t have much to do either, so I’ll keep you company for a while."

Yi Luowa pouted slightly. "Sister Yu, I was a bit reckless today. First thing in the morning tomorrow, I’ll go confess to Uncle and Aunt."

Xiaoyudian laughed and said, "Do you think that’s what I wanted to talk to you about?"

Yi Luowa blinked in surprise. "Isn’t it?"

Xiaoyudian laughed, taking her hand. "Dad’s family rule is: ’If people don’t mess with me, I don’t mess with them. But if they do, I’ll retaliate!’ What you did today was exactly like one of us!"

Yi Luowa chuckled awkwardly.

Xiaoyudian pulled her to sit down. "Luowa, in a few days, I’ll be heading back to Soya, and you’ll be going to Xiawu. After that, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma will all be in your care."

"Sister..." This time, Yi Luowa deliberately called her "Sister." Xiaoyudian treated her as family, and it moved her deeply.

"In our family, Dad’s temper is the only one that’s not so great. Everyone else gets along just fine. But you don’t need to be afraid. His bad temper is directed at outsiders. You, as his future daughter-in-law, are considered family. He’ll definitely treat you better than he treats Ai Ni and me." Xiaoyudian smiled and lifted a strand of Yi Luowa’s hair from her cheek. "Luowa, since you’ve called me Sister, it’s my responsibility to give you a few words of advice. Through the years, Airui has grown up surrounded by praise. Because of that, he might be a little proud and not easily accepting of others’ opinions. If he ever bullies you, just let me know, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you."

Yi Luowa hugged Xiaoyudian tightly, rubbing her face against hers. "Sister, Tong Airui is so lucky to have a sister like you. And I’m lucky too, because you’re my sister."

Xiaoyudian smiled. "It’s not that I’m great. It’s something I’ve learned bit by bit. Grandma and Mom are our role models. Airui likes you and chose you, which means the responsibility on your shoulders has grown too. Marrying Airui means you’ll be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Eldrich family. Let’s set an example for our younger siblings."

"Sister, with my current abilities, I’m definitely not there yet. But I’ll make sure to learn from Grandma and Aunt properly. Even if I can’t set an example for the younger ones, at least I won’t be a bad influence."

"You’re smart, so I’m sure you’ll pick it up quickly. In the future, our family will rely on you and Airui."

"Sister, you’re making me so nervous!" Yi Luowa said with a laugh.

"Don’t be nervous. There’s no rush. After all, you’re still young. Take your time to learn." Xiaoyudian smiled as she lightly patted her on the cheek. "Get some rest now. I’ll go check on Duoduo."

"Alright, goodnight, Sister!"

"Goodnight!"

Yi Luowa saw Xiaoyudian out, then picked up her pajamas and went into the bathroom.
