"You can bully anyone. Why do you have to bully Lu Meili, especially when you know fully well who she is."

"Xu Lingxi, can you get lost? You're annoying."

Small Xixi twirled around him. "Of course I'm annoying. What are little sisters for?"

Xu Tang wanted nothing more than to strangle her. He was in a foul mood. Couldn't she see?

"Brother, I'm telling you. If you let Sis Meili go, no woman will ever marry you."

Xu Tang stood up and grabbed her by the back of her collar, dragging her to her room. "What nonsense are you spewing?"

Small Xixi felt wronged. "How am I spewing nonsense? Sis Meili loves you the most. You should thank the heavens but instead... never mind. I'm wasting all my effort speaking to you."

At the same time, in Southside Villas.

As soon as Lu Meili got home, she rushed to the second floor, to Lu Xian Yu's room.

"Little adorable darling Xian Yu, are you home?"

The young lad was doing his school homework. "What?"

Lu Meili habitually hugged him and left a whole rain of kisses on his face. The young lad was almost dizzy from them. "Heartbroken?"

Lu Meili looked stunned. How did he know?

Lu Xian Yu gave her a look that said, you are an idiot. 'I hate all men except daddy and my cute little brother' is written all over your eyes. Wouldn't I be a fool if I didn't see it?

Out of nowhere, he took a large heart pendant and gave it to her.

She took it happily. "You... you're giving it to me? It's so beautiful."

The young lad took it from her hand, put it around her neck and kissed her cheek. "I love you sis."

Lu Meili's heart melted into a mess. Her brother had never shown her so much love at once. She hugged him warmly "Oh Xian Yu, I love you more."

"I'm going to see grandma tomorrow. Go with me?"

Lu Xian Yu wanted to spend more time with his sister, so she wouldn't be too sad. "Ok."

The next day, Xu Tang was in a terrible mood. Assistant Han had to be careful around him.

"CEO, Miss Lan is here to see you."

"Tell her I don't want to see her." Xu Tang said expressionlessly. He didn't understand it himself.

Assistant Han looked fearful. "C-CEO, she said it was urgent and that if you don't go to see her, something will go wrong."

Xu Tang was inexplicably irritated. "Let her in."

Immediately, Annie Lan was let into his office.

She went in cheerfully. "Xu, did I distract your work?"

Xu Tang kept away the photo in his hands. It was a photo of Lu Meili when she was a teenager. She was wearing her school uniform and had a pair of very long pigtails on her head. She looked extremely adorable. He scolded himself. Why would he be staring at it?

He looked at Annie Lan, who was wearing a short pale blue dress today. "What is it?"

Annie Lan audaciously pushed his documents aside and sat on his desk. "Xu, I'm really scared. This audition means a lot to me. Can you teach me to dance, just a little?"

Xu Tang looked at how she had sat on his desk. Lu Meili could do such a thing as sit on his desk, but not when he was this busy. She always took his work as a priority before herself.

In the next second, he scolded himself again. Why would he compare his friend to his soon to be girlfriend?

The woman grabbed his tie. "Pretty please..."

It wasn't sure whether it was because he couldn't stand seeing her looking so pitiful, or because he was tired of her nagging, but he agreed.

"Then, can we go now? We can go to Y X Dance Academy. It's your property after all and no one will stop us."

Xu Tang couldn't hide his shock. How on earth did she know about YX Dance Academy? If he remembered correctly, only Lu Meili knew that he owned it. And that was only because he wanted to assure her that she wouldn't get into any trouble if she used the classrooms despite being an outsider.

But, the woman didn't give him the chance to ask. She pulled him. "Let's go, okay? Okay?"

"Fine."

...

Just like that, she had to take Annie Lan to YX Dance Academy. However, he couldn't bring himself to take her to the same classroom that he brought Lu Meili. It inexplicably felt as though he would wrong her.

Not only that, he wanted to ask an instructor to teach her. Thinking of dancing intimately with another woman, it suddenly felt like a mistake.

"Hmph! This must be Annie Lan." A woman's voice interrupted them.

Xu Tang turned and glared at the newcomer. "Small Xixi, what are you doing here?"

"Making sure you don't make a mistake." Small Xixi sauntered over to Annie Lan and scrutinized her.

Annie Lan felt uncomfortable. Who was this little girl? Was she also fighting for Xu Tang's attention?

She looked at Small Xixi intimidatingly and scrutinized her as well. "Small Xixi, right? That name suits you. You are quite small. Are you even legal yet?"

Small Xixi crossed her arms against her chest. "I am. While you... face: so-so, nothing impressive at the bottom, nothing much at the top either. As for everything else, should I say this? You look like a fake version of Lu Meili. However, you cannot compare to a single strand of hair on her head, auntie."

"Xu. Ling. Xi!" Xu Tang spat out through gritted teeth.

"What about me?" Small Xixi didn't think she did anything wrong. "I didn't know before but now I know why you fell for this woman. Take a good look. She's a cheap imitation of Sis Meili. She even made her hair straight and soft, and wore an adorable pale-blue dress. Don't you think that's Sis Meili's style?"

She turned and looked at her brother. "Brother, are you blind? You have the original next to you, but you fell for her counterfeit who looks like an auntie. Tch, there's no limit to your blindness."
