An Xiulan had a normal night at Lu Mansion.
She wasn’t haunted by the old lady’s ghost in her sleep. This was a big relief for her.
Currently, she was supporting her head while sitting on the bed.
“Meimei, warm water, ” An Xiulan said to herself. “I don’t care if it’s June. I still want to bathe with warm water. I will not let you convince me otherwise.”
A moment later, she heard a chuckle and instantly opened her eyes to find herself in a foreign room. She saw housekeeper Liu standing at the door.
[Oh, I forgot that I am staying at Lu Xuan’s father’s house.]
[Oh my god, did it mean she had no Meimei to prepare bath water, clothes, food and everything else that she didn’t like to do?].
An Xiulan felt like crying. She knew that she was a sixteen years old girl. People at her age in her previous life were married with kids while she was still a kid at this age. She agreed that she had been overly pampered at her mom’s house and that she forgot basic survival skills.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Good Morning, Young Miss, ” Housekeeper Liu said as she looked at the teenage girl sitting on the bed staring at her blankly. “Should I prepare warm water for your bath? After that, do I have the liberty to prepare clothes for you?”
An Xiulan nodded her head.
“What colour would you prefer to wear today?” Housekeeper Liu asked.
“Gray, ” An Xiulan muttered. Her mood was grey and she must go out with a warning. She had a feeling that her day was going to be a bit adventurous.
Suddenly, she heard her phone ring. It was somewhere buried under the cushions. Thankfully, she found it or she would be very much angry because she had set a special ring for her mom.
“Good morning, baby girl, ” Her mom said from the other side. Her mom was sitting in a room that seemed like an office and was wearing her work clothes.
“Mom, I miss you, ” An Xiulan said as her eyes teared up. She couldn’t video call her mom during summer vacation due to poor reception. For more than a week, she had not seen her mom and now that she had seen her mom, she felt like bawling her eyes out. But she knew that her mom was already in a big problem and she wouldn’t like to worry her mom.
“Mom missed Lanlan too, ” An Qinyan softly said. “Do you have a goodnight’s sleep? I apologize I couldn’t call you last night.”
An Xiulan nodded her head. Look how caring her mom was. “Mom, I am alright here. Did I tell you Auntie set up a new room for me? I liked it very much. She got a lot of clothes and other accessories for me. Ah, I feel like a princess.”
“Well, a princess must feel like a princess,” An Qinyan said as she watched her daughter’s smile grow.
An Xiulan was feeling shy about being called a princess by her mom.
[Aww, mom, can you please not give your baby girl a heart attack early in the morning?]
“Lanlan, mom has to cut the call. I miss you and Ah Xuan a lot. Take care of yourself and your brother. I love both of you, ” An Qinyan said before disconnecting the call.
Housekeeper Liu looked at the young girl burying her red face and screaming in embarrassment. She laughed in her heart. How could someone be so precious and lovely at the same time? If she wasn’t already fifty years old, she would have tried to have a girl of her own.
“Young Miss, the water for the bath is ready, ” Housekeeper Liu said with a smile and pretended as if she didn’t see anything.
“Coming!” An Xiulan ran towards the bathroom. During the bath, she let Housekeeper Liu wash her hair and prepare a set of fresh clothes. She didn’t wear grey clothes anymore as her mom had successfully lifted up her mood.
She was feeling good, so good that she chose a brown long skirt and a basic full-sleeve mint-coloured T-shirt. It might be a bit extra for a lazy morning. But she had learned from her English teacher that playing with different colours could be so much fun.
“Do I look pretty?” An Xiulan asked as she sat before the dressing table while Housekeeper Liu was braiding her hair.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Very, ” Housekeeper Liu said even though she could imagine Old Madam Lu nitpicking about the bright colours that the little girl was wearing.
When An Xiulan reached the breakfast table, Lu Xuan was sitting there next to his grandmother, Xiaobao was on his high chair and it seemed Mr and Mrs Lu were waiting for someone to start the breakfast.
“Xiulan, come take a seat,” Song Yifei said with a smile.
An Xiulan nodded and wished all of them good morning. The Lu couple greeted her back but the Old Madam Lu didn’t even spare a look in her direction and when she did later, her gaze lingered on the bright and inappropriate colours that the girl was wearing.
An Xiulan caught the look of disgust in the old lady’s eyes and buried her head to focus on the food.
But the breakfast didn’t taste delicious as it did in the beginning.

We have completed the 150th chapter of this book! This calls for celebration! I will be giving myself a treat, Cause why not? I need to be kind to myself. I need to compliment and reward myself from time to time.
I wrote this book during my hardest time. I was on bedrest with a broken foot and a depressing mindset. I wanted to cheer myself up and so I wrote An Xiulan because she always manages to bring a smile to my face.
I know many of you might feel that she is stupid and weird but I needed this kind of stupidity and weirdness in my life at that time. She saved me and taught me to be my own superwoman.
So are you being your own superwoman/man or you need someone to do your saving?
