Luo Xiaolei knelt on the floor as the twins embraced her. Shen Ran was crying out loud while the older brother, Shen Rui quickly pulled away from her and looked at her with a serious gaze.

  "Mommy, are you here to take us home?" he asked while his younger brother was still sobbing in Luo Xiaolei’s embrace.

  "Yes sweetie, I’m taking you home and from now on, you two will no longer return to the orphanage."

  "Really? We will live in your house now?"

  "Mm."

  When Little Rui heard her, he looked so happy, his eyes welled up. But the little guy seemed to be restraining himself and he refused to cry.

  "Okay, let’s better leave this place." Luo Xiaolei then carried Little Ran in her arms while holding Little Rui’s hand.

  When they passed by the living room, Luo Xiaolei looked around and it looked like Luo Junfeng was no longer there.

  "The master already left, I heard he rushed towards the old master’s house." An old man’s voice suddenly echoed and when Luo Xiaolei turned and looked at him, a smile flashed across her face. This old man was the good butler who was always on her side when she was living in this place.

  "Gramps……" she uttered and the kind old man smiled back.

  "Have you been well, young miss?" he asked and Luo Xiaolei nodded.

  "Mm. I’ve been well gramps. Don’t worry, I don’t have any regrets leaving this place. I’m sorry I couldn’t visit you here."

  "It’s alright. Knowing that you’re fine and living well is enough for me. I knew this place wasn’t the place for you. Just know that I’m always rooting for you."

  "Mm. Thank you, gramps. You should take care of your health too, okay?"

  "Yes, there’s nothing for you to worry, this old man is still kicking."

  "You’re still the same as always gramps. I’m so glad I get to see you before I left for good."

  "I’m happy to see you too, young miss, but you have to leave now. The mistress is about to arrive. I wouldn’t want you to be caught up in another nonsense."

  "Yeah right, I don’t have time to deal with her so I better leave then. See you gramps, let’s meet outside one day."

  "Yes, please take good care."

  Upon leaving the Luo Residence, Luo Xiaolei went straight to the orphanage along with the twins and settled everything. After that, they headed out to have a meal at the twin’s favorite food shop.

  The cry baby and shy Little Ran monopolized Luo Xiaolei while the big brother was well behaved as usual. They were happy. Luo Xiaolei was happy. She always was whenever these little ones were with her. They were just so adorable and were such good kids and being with them warmed Luo Xiaolei’s heart.

  After their blissful meal, the trio finally went home. Luo Xiaolei was just about to start packing when she received a call.

  "Hello?"

  "Dear granddaughter, I heard about the news so the family wants to celebrate your engagement-"

  "Grandfather, there’s no need for that."

  "You don’t have to worry, dearest grandchild. This is a huge achievement for you and our entire business so you have to take this seriously. We must also show to the Yus how we value this relationship between you two. We will also use this party to announce your new position within the company."

  "New position?"

  "Yes, dear grandchild. I will appoint you as our youngest executive. This is a way for you to show that you have gained an important achievement to at least show that you’re worthy for someone like Yu Chen. So you have to start preparing for the event tonight. Your grandpa will come get you right now so be sure to be at home."

  As the old man finished his statement, Luo Xiaolei was about to tell him that she would definitely not work in their company again when Little Ran yelled.

  "Mommy!! Please come take a look, bro knows how to play the piano!" a little voice echoed and the old man at the end of the phone heard it.

  "I’ll come after this call, okay?" Luo Xiaolei answered the boy before turning her attention to the phone again.

  "Xiaolei, don’t take those kids with you. Leave them there. Just ask some caretaker to watch them or return them to the orphanage." Luo Feng said and a cold smile immediately carved on Luo Xiaolei’s face.

  "I apologize, grandfather, but I won’t be taking your advice."

  "Luo Xiaolei! Those kids aren’t related to you by blood, at all! Why do you care for them that much?"

  "Who says I can’t care for them just because they’re not related to me by blood? Did you forget that some people don’t even care about their own family? Some even disown their own daughters. You all say that blood is thicker than water, but to me, water is purer than blood." After Luo Xiaolei’s statement, silence followed before she heard a sigh.

  "Xiaolei, your grandma is on her way so you must prepare now, okay? Don’t worry about those kids, I’ll call your grandma to hire a professional caretaker to watch them." Before Luo Xiaolei could speak again, the call already ended and Luo Xiaolei just let out a cold laugh.

  Indeed, the saying ’a person’s enemies will be those of his own household’ was true after all.

  Luo Xiaolei had proven it in her past life and this life was no different. Her own family, the people she thought were the ones who would care for her the most and the one she thought would be the very first to support her were the first to use her, break her and teach her how to be heartless. This was why she was jealous of those families who were bound by love, because hers wasn’t at all.

  After letting go of a deep a sigh, Luo Xiaolei’s eyes glimmered and her gaze turned dangerous. The next moment, she turned her phone off and hastily walked towards her room, shoved her wallet and some other important things inside a bag before quickly finding the twins.

  "Ranran, come over." She said and carried the little guy. She held Shen Rui’s hand and hastily walked towards the door.

  "Mommy, where are we going? Is there something wrong?" Shen Rui asked and Luo Xiaolei ruffled his hair as she smiled at him.

  "A witch is after us so we’re moving out."

  "R-really? Where are we going now?"

  "To your daddy’s house."

  "D-daddy?!"
