Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 48: Hua An

It’s true what they say: push soone hard enough, and they’ll do things they never thought possible.

Lu Huan had actually managed to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, far exceeding anyone’s expectations.

Although they were a bit burnt, she had made them nonetheless, which moved her to no end!

’So what if Lu Xiao won’t feed ? I still managed to make it myself, didn’t I?’

’Cooking doesn’t seem as hard as I thought!’

By the ti Lu Huan ca out carrying her burnt scrambled eggs and tomatoes, Lu Xiao had already eaten. Ares was clearing the table, and when they saw her erge, neither of them seed inclined to say anything.

She had thought Lu Xiao might praise her for actually cooking, but she got nothing.

A sour feeling welled up inside Lu Huan, but she didn’t know how to vent it. After sitting down, she could only ask, "When exactly are you going to help deal with that matter?"

"I’ll handle it when the ti is right. Stop asking," Lu Xiao said, getting up. "Ares, are there any peaches in the fridge? Please wash one for , thank you."

"Easy for you to say. You’re still making Ares do things for you!" Lu Huan muttered under her breath, pouting.

Lu Xiao turned her head to look at her. "What did you say?"

Lu Huan quickly shook her head, an innocent look on her face. "Nothing!"

Lu Xiao gave a cool smile. "Rember to call him brother-in-law."

Lu Huan: "..."

’You heard , but you still had to ask. Is it fun to ss with ?’

Although she had just taken a nap, Lu Xiao still felt a sense of fatigue and didn’t feel like moving much. She curled up on the sofa and nibbled on a peach. Ares brought over a glass of water and placed it in front of her.

"Still not feeling well?"

Lu Xiao shook her head. "I’m actually much better, just still a little exhausted. But don’t you have to work today?"

"I’m off today." With Lu Xiao in this state, there was no way he could go to work with peace of mind.

"Then let’s go see Earl Hua An later." Dragging out Lu Huan’s issue any longer wouldn’t be good. It would be better to deal with it sooner and get so peace of mind.

After all, she didn’t have that much ti to spend solely on handling Lu Huan’s problems.

Ares was slightly taken aback. "Today? Don’t you need to rest more?"

"I can’t sleep now anyway, so we might as well get this done." As Lu Xiao spoke, she was already getting up. "Go get ready and bring the gift. I’m going to change. We’ll leave as soon as I co down."

Seeing that Lu Xiao had made up her mind, Ares, despite feeling she should rest more, knew that once the little female decided sothing, she rarely changed her mind. He nodded. "Alright."

Lu Huan had been keeping an eye on their movents. Seeing that they were about to go out, she imdiately piped up, "Where are you going? Can you take with you?"

She hadn’t been out of the house in days.

Lu Xiao shot her a glance. "No. If you want to go out, go out by yourself. No one is stopping you."

Lu Huan was imdiately deflated. She wanted to go out, but she knew very well that if she really walked out that door, it wouldn’t be easy to co back.

Besides, Lu Xiao hadn’t solved her problem yet. If she just left, what if Lu Xiao decided to wash her hands of her?

With that thought, Lu Huan turned around and said, "I’ll go clean up the kitchen."

Lu Xiao paid her no more mind. As long as Lu Huan didn’t cause trouble, she couldn’t be bothered with her.

The main gate of Earl Hua An Mansion looked similar to that of Count Ge Wei’s Mansion. They were both residences bestowed by the Empire, though their architectural styles were different.

After they rang the doorbell and announced themselves, the old butler of Earl Hua An Mansion didn’t let them in imdiately. Instead, he said he had to go inform Earl Hua An.

And so, they were left waiting for over ten minutes before being allowed inside.

Lu Xiao knew very well that this was Earl Hua An’s way of putting them in their place.

But Ares couldn’t bear to see the little female being treated this way. "Why don’t we just leave? We can co back another day."

In fact, a selfish part of him even hoped Lu Xiao would stop ddling in Lu Huan’s affairs.

But he knew very well that he couldn’t interfere with what Lu Xiao was determined to do.

"It’s fine. Since we’re already here, we can wait." Lu Xiao smiled, not looking the least bit concerned. ’In any case, I’ll make Lu Huan pay for whatever cold treatnt I receive here today.’

Over ten minutes later, the large doors in front of them opened. The old butler smiled apologetically. "My sincerest apologies. Earl Hua An was resting just now, and it was inconvenient to disturb her. The Earl invites you both inside now."

"It’s no trouble. Besides, the scenery here at Earl Hua An Mansion is quite nice. I haven’t had the free ti to get out for so fresh air in a long ti, so this was perfect." Lu Xiao wore a smile that looked as natural as could be, showing no sign of anger at their rudeness.

The old butler walking beside her couldn’t help but steal a glance at her.

In truth, he hadn’t expected her to wait so patiently. It made him feel a certain admiration for the young female’s composure.

Upon entering the main hall, Lu Xiao imdiately spotted the ornately dressed Earl Hua An. It was impossible not to recognize her at a glance. The Earl’s clothing was a riot of color, covered in large red and green peonies. That, combined with her portly figure, made for a conspicuous sight that was difficult to ignore.

"You’re Lu Ge Wei’s eldest daughter?" Earl Hua An spoke before Lu Xiao had even drawn near. Due to her extre obesity, the Earl’s eyes were very small, making it seem as if she were peering at people through narrow slits.

"Yes. My na is Lu Xiao. I’ve co today to apologize on behalf of my foolish younger sister." As she spoke, she placed the item she was holding on the table. "I hope you won’t take offense. Lu Huan has been spoiled rotten and isn’t very sensible. After what she’s done, we will discipline her more strictly in the future and ensure she doesn’t co to harass the males of your household again."

"You certainly have a way with words. No wonder your mother sent you instead of coming herself. My son, Noah, is around the sa age as your sister. Since your sister promised to marry him, why not just have her fulfill that promise?"

Lu Xiao hadn’t expected Earl Hua An to actually entertain this idea. She had assud the Earl would be vehently opposed to it.

The words took Lu Xiao completely by surprise.

"A happy union would naturally be a good thing, but it must depend on the wishes of both parties. If they are forced together, they will only be miserable if their life together doesn’t work out. Lu Huan is my sister, but I have to be fair and say she is not a good match. The males of the Earl Hua An Mansion deserve better."

Hearing this, Earl Hua An sneered. "After all that, you’re just saying no. So, has Earl Lu Ge Wei said how she plans to compensate us? Don’t tell she just sent you here to fool us with empty words."

Lu Xiao thought to herself, ’Just as I expected.’ Earl Hua An was not one to take a loss.

"Whatever Earl Hua An desires, please speak freely. As long as it is within my family’s power, my mother will agree to it." ’As for whether Lu Ge Wei can actually do it, what does that have to do with ? Did she really think she could just dump this on and wash her hands of it?’

"Can you really make decisions on your mother’s behalf?" Lu Xiao’s words seed to surprise Earl Hua An. But before the Earl could continue, the butler’s voice suddenly ca from outside. "Noah, you can’t go in! Your mother is with a guest! You..."

Before the butler could finish, a young male ran into the room. His face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

After running in, he first glanced at Earl Hua An, then his gaze fell upon Lu Xiao. "Why isn’t Lu Huan here?"
