After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 101 - I Just Want to Be Close to You
Chapter 101: Chapter 101 I Just Want to Be Close to You
Lu Zhaozhao hastily lowered her little head and pressed it against Song Sinian’s neck, afraid he would speak some ferocious words again.
Song Sinian had just been concentrating on her little feet and hadn’t noticed that Lu Zhaozhao’s face was already flushed red.
Her sudden proximity made Song Sinian’s brows lift slightly, “Didn’t you just say you weren’t cold?”
“Mmm, I just want to be close to you,” Lu Zhaozhao’s soft, sweet voice whispered into his ear, causing the corners of Song Sinian’s mouth to curve slightly.
He didn’t say anything else and just held her as they continued walking downstairs…
Xia Wenmo’s surgery went very well, but because of Lu Zhaozhao’s excessive concern, he remained under close observation after the surgery.
...
“Third brother, do you want to drink some water?” Lu Zhaozhao sat next to Xia Wenmo, staring at him with eyes that still showed traces of swelling.
Xia Wenmo chuckled softly, tilting his head to look at Lu Zhaozhao, “Zhaozhao, you don’t need to be nervous about me anymore. The doctors said the surgery was very successful, and my eyes weren’t affected at all. You, you are my lucky star. With you by my side, even bad things can turn into good ones.”
Lu Zhaozhao sighed softly, unable to resist pouting, “Even if you compliment me now, it can’t change the fact that you have to stay in the hospital.”

“Alright, alright, as long as you don’t cry like yesterday, I’m willing to do anything you want,” Xia Wenmo said as he looked at Lu Zhaozhao.
His gaze swept over her little face, filled with tenderness.
Yesterday, when his surgery was declared a success, Lu Zhaozhao cried her eyes out by his bed. If he hadn’t heard the news of the successful surgery himself, he would have doubted whether he would make it.
Ah, what an adorable little sister.
It felt like no matter how much he doted on her, it was never too much.
Thinking this, Xia Wenmo suddenly seemed to remember something and slowly began to speak, “Zhaozhao, open the drawer next to you. Inside, you’ll find a gift I prepared for you.”
“A gift?” Lu Zhaozhao opened the drawer skeptically and took out a brocade box.
When she opened it, her eyes suddenly widened.
Inside was a necklace entirely adorned with emeralds and diamonds, evidently very expensive at a glance.
More importantly, she had seen this emerald and diamond necklace before.
It was at the Song Mansion, around Song Keren’s neck.
She distinctly remembered Song Keren bragging that the necklace was worth 20 million.
It couldn’t possibly be the same one, could it?
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes dropped, glancing again at the emerald necklace. It probably couldn’t be the same one because she remembered that when Song Keren wore it, it was part of a complete set.
There was also a tiara, a brooch, and earrings, all lavished with emeralds and diamonds.
Each piece was worth tens of millions, and all together, they totaled up to a billion.
So, it was probably just a coincidence that they looked similar, right?
Besides, weren’t the Xia Family’s circumstances not very good?
How could they possibly have a piece of jewelry worth tens of millions?
As she was deep in thought, Xia Wenmo’s voice suddenly came through, “What’s the matter? Don’t you like it?”
Lu Zhaozhao quickly shook her head, “No, I just think it’s too valuable…”
Xia Wenmo was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly explained, “You don’t need to feel pressured. This piece of jewelry is a family heirloom of ours. Every member of the Xia Family has one. It’s specifically meant to be given to our younger sister when she gets married. I just wanted to be the first to give it to you.”
“Uh…” Lu Zhaozhao clearly hadn’t expected Xia Wenmo to give that response. Her watery eyes blinked, and she glanced once more inside the jewelry box.
A thought she had never considered before flashed through her mind.
She took a deep breath and looked at Xia Wenmo, asking, “Then… the gifts from the other brothers aren’t also emerald and jade ornaments, are they?”
Xia Wenmo chuckled lightly, patiently explaining, “Of course, the items we four brothers have are a matching set. What I have here is a necklace, the eldest has a crown, the second brother has a brooch, and Lao Si has earrings.”
“!!!”
Lu Zhaozhao’s mind suddenly exploded.
If she hadn’t guessed wrong, in her past life, not only had the Xia family sought her out, but they had also given her something.
But at that time, she was almost completely controlled by Xiao Jinglan at the Song Mansion, so she received none of it.
Xiao Jinglan was then wholly focused on controlling her to use against Song Sinian and would certainly not allow her to have contact with anyone else.
That damned Xiao Jinglan, because of her, she really missed out on a lot.
Lu Zhaozhao slowly closed the box, and instantly let go of the fact that the Xia family hadn’t sought her out in her previous life.
She had previously thought it was because the Xia family was too poor to have the chance to meet her, or that they were living so hard that they couldn’t find her.
But now it seemed that was not the case; whether it was in her previous life or this one, they had gone to look for her.
Lu Zhaozhao clenched her fist, it appeared the details she had overlooked in her last life were not trivial.
Especially matters related to Xiao Jinglan, she needed to investigate thoroughly.
In her last life, she had used her advantages within the Song family to do so much harm, this life she was determined to have her reap what she had sown!
Xia Wenmo watched Lu Zhaozhao remain silent, tilted his head to look at her, and then slowly said, “If the eldest brother, second brother, and Lao Si give you gifts, you must pretend it’s the first time you know about them, got it?”
While speaking, he even winked at Lu Zhaozhao.
Lu Zhaozhao came to her senses, her eyebrows and eyes carrying a smile, as she lightly nodded, “Don’t worry, third brother, I definitely won’t give you away~”
The corners of Xia Wenmo’s mouth curved up, looking at Lu Zhaozhao’s mischievous smile, his heart also turned especially tender.
So this is what it felt like to have an adorable and cute younger sister.
He sighed softly, thinking of how his eldest brother had investigated the hardships Lu Zhaozhao faced as a child in the Lu family, and his hatred towards the Lu family deepened.
Once he recovered, he would definitely not make it easy for the Lu family!
Of course, this also included Xia Wenjin.
Suddenly, the sound of the television reached his ears, and only then did Xia Wenmo remember the task Xia Wenyan had given him.
He glanced at the television and cleared his throat, “Um… Zhaozhao, do you know that Lao Si recently joined a trainee competition?”
Before Lu Zhaozhao could respond, Xia Wenmo pointed at the television and said, “It’s this show. I hear he’s putting in a lot of effort to get some good results.”
When it came to the Xia brothers’ looks, they were on par, but each had a different aura, so it’s impossible to generalize.
Xia Wenjue was mature, Xia Wenqing was refined, Xia Wenmo was frail, and as for Xia Wenyan, he was ruggedly handsome.
To be fair, no matter which one, singled out, could outshine a crowd of people.
Lu Zhaozhao followed Xia Wenmo’s gaze towards the television and just happened to see Xia Wenyan’s figure on the screen.
As she recognized his outfit, Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes visibly widened—
