"Huh? What do you an 'the real 11 years old'? Xiao Xuan obviously looks taller than a normal 11-year-old girl!" Lin Xiaolu argued firmly.
"So that ans you're shorter than a normal 14-year-old, right?" Xia Liang said, looking quite pleased with herself.
"Height isn't sothing... There's no uniform standard for height! Erald Sparrow is even shorter than , and she's an adult!" Lin Xiaolu pointed at Erald Sparrow.
"Little senior... um, that seems to be true," Xia Liang said, her face showing difficulty.
"Hold on a second, you two, stop," Erald Sparrow interjected just as the topic of their banter sohow turned to her. "Don't forget where you stand. Even though I'm only a senior to you now, I still expect you to show basic respect to the person involved when you make a mistake."
"Yes—"
Xia Liang drawled her acknowledgnt, but hadn't been quiet for even two seconds before she changed tack again, "Then I have one last question. After I ask, you can chop up however you want."
"I'm not so brutal executioner, don't make it sound so scary."
Erald Sparrow frowned slightly: "Ask."
"I want to know the truth, little senior, how did this thing get to you?"
Xia Liang, propping her chin, looked at Erald Sparrow with a probing gaze: "Xiaolu only told , Xiao Xuan, and Moke. Xiaolu and I definitely wouldn't gossip, and Xiao Xuan is such a good kid, she probably wouldn't either. Could it be Moke who played the traitor?"
"Right! How would Erald Sparrow know!"
Lin Xiaolu, who was slow to catch on, suddenly beca furiously angry: "That jerk Moke! To suck up, he sold us out! I'm going to drag him down and confront him!"
Having said this, she stood up from the couch and was about to go upstairs in search of Moke.
"Stop, I said stop."
Erald Sparrow quickly reached out to pull her back, slightly helpless: "Don't go upstairs and cause trouble for Nini, it's not Moke."
"Not Moke?"
Lin Xiaolu, who had been looking angry, suddenly cald down, blinking in confusion: "Then who could it be?"
Her gaze swept past Xia Liang, who shook her head. Then she looked toward the distant Bai Jingxuan, but before Bai Jingxuan could react, she withdrew her gaze; finally, she pointed at herself, her lips parting in surprise to reveal her pearly white teeth: "Could it be—"
"—Yes, it was ."
Bai Jingxuan raised her hand, interrupting Lin Xiaolu.
She held up her right hand, signaling her presence, and with a small but clear voice said: "I was the one who told."
After a mont's thought, as if she felt her explanation wasn't specific enough, she added, "I accidentally ntioned it to my dad."
At this, everyone's gaze focused on her.
"Dad, dad?"
Lin Xiaolu first repeated the word with so confusion, clearly perplexed by it. She knew Bai Jingxuan had been living in an orphanage, and although it was harsh, the word "dad" seed out of place coming from her at this ti.
However, as she slowly ca to her senses and made so deductions based on her guesses, she quickly understood who "dad" was in Bai Jingxuan's mouth.
Shocked, her mouth, which had already been agape, opened even wider: "The 'dad' you're talking about, could it be... Ah? So you've already secretly planned everything to this stage?"
Realizing that this posture might not be very dignified, she quickly covered her mouth, but the astonishnt in her eyes remained fully intact. She looked at Erald Sparrow, her feelings a mix of happiness and concern: "Does that an..."
Erald Sparrow didn't refute her.
It wasn't that she didn't want to; she simply hadn't heard what Lin Xiaolu was saying.
Bai Jingxuan's words were no less impactful than the shock she had received in the Director's Office earlier, and this ti, saying the word in front of Lin Xiaolu had far greater damaging potential than before, so much so that her breathing montarily stopped.
"... Can you explain how he is your father?"
She turned to Bai Jingxuan, trying to ask as calmly as usual, but her tone had imperceptibly gone off.
"Because, when I call him that, dad didn't deny it!"
After speaking up with courage, Bai Jingxuan's voice grew substantially louder; she raised her volu so everyone could hear her clearly: "Dad accepted it! And he even asked gently who said what! So, I told him!"
This ti, both the volu and the content reached Erald Sparrow's ears completely.
She stood there like a statue, her expression still serene and indifferent, but whether it be her movents or her gaze, both were completely frozen.
After a long silence, she finally turned her head slowly to the side, her eyes moving toward Lin Xiaolu, and at last, t Lin Xiaolu's intense gaze.
"Things are not what you think," Erald Sparrow said dryly.
"I understand! I understand completely!"
Lin Xiaolu exclaid a bit excitedly: "Erald Sparrow, you don't have to worry about what I think, I support you!"
"Although I didn't really wish to have a stepmother, but if you, Erald Sparrow, have those feelings, I'm not completely opposed to it!"
"My mom also appeared to in a dream a few days ago. She handed over to you in the dream, which I think ans she supports you becoming my mother!"
—What on earth is this girl talking about?
Erald Sparrow's mouth twitched slightly, but she knew that being emotional was useless at this mont, so she continued in a steady tone: "No, it's really not what you think, I have no intention of getting married..."
