I like my name 14: 14.
I like my name When An Xiaoyu was ready to leave, Chu Mucheng was still standing there, leaning against the doorframe, one foot raised and resting on the opposite side of the doorframe, blocking her way out.
“What do you want to do?”
Chu Mucheng’s lips slightly tightened, “I don’t really want to do anything.
I just want to see how embarrassed you look.”
An Xiaoyu felt somewhat helpless.
Wasn’t it enough that he had been tormenting her along the way?
Couldn’t he give her a break?
“Now that you’ve seen, are you satisfied?”
Remember, don’t make me angry again, otherwise…”
Chu Mucheng didn’t finish his sentence, but his sharp gaze was clearly a warning to her.
She never intended to anger him, but ever since she was young, he had always disliked her, finding all sorts of reasons to torment her as if torturing her was his greatest joy in life.
During the years she studied abroad, she finally escaped from him and had a few years of peace. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
Now, as soon as she returned, it seemed…
things were becoming unsettled again.
“Xiaoyu, where are you?”
At that moment, Su Linxue’s voice came from the entrance of the living room.
Chu Mucheng frowned and finally withdrew his leg, allowing An Xiaoyu to step out of the restroom.
Just as she had taken a few steps, Chu Mucheng grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice, “An Xiaoyu, remember this—in the Chu Family, you must follow the Chu Family’s rules!”
The Chu Family’s rules, huh?
Perhaps, she should move out of here sooner rather than later.
An Xiaoyu shook off Chu Mucheng’s hand, just as she reached the living room, Su Linxue swiftly approached and held her hand.
“Let mom take a good look at you, my, you’ve lost quite a bit of weight over the years!”
An Xiaoyu forced a smile and remained silent.
As Su Linxue embraced her, An Xiaoyu also saw Chu Yihong standing in the middle of the living room, his expression gentle.
“Xiaoyu, you’re back!”
An Xiaoyu nodded and gave him a smile.
Yes, after being away for four years, she had returned to the Chu Family’s home.
But soon, she would move out.
Before long, Chu Mushan also returned and didn’t show much enthusiasm upon seeing An Xiaoyu.
After a brief greeting, she didn’t say anything more to An Xiaoyu.
An Xiaoyu was already used to this, so she didn’t mind.
At lunch that day, Chu Yihong said, “Come, let’s raise our glasses and welcome Xiaoyu home!”
Everyone lifted their glasses, but Chu Mucheng didn’t move.
Not until Chu Yihong shot him a warning glance did Chu Mucheng lazily lift his glass, “An Xiaoyu, welcome home!”
The emphasis Chu Mucheng placed on the name “An” was very heavy, as if he was deliberately stressing it.
At that moment, An Xiaoyu’s spine stiffened.
Yes, Su Xuelin and them…
they were the real family.
And she, she was just an outsider.
She remembered that scene from years ago.
That day, also at the dining table, Su Linxue proposed that she change her surname, to drop the “An” and take on the “Chu” surname.
Chu Yihong nodded in agreement, but Chu Mucheng stood up.
The handsome young boy, with his cool gaze and thin lips slightly parted, slowly said, “Why should she?
The boy’s gaze firmly fixed on An Xiaoyu, sharp as a knife.
you want to change your surname to Chu?”
An Xiaoyu slowly lifted her eyes, meeting his gaze, she paused for a moment, turned to look at Chu Yihong, and softly said, “Uncle, I like my name!”
