Novel Bin Chapter 329 Little get-together
“Will you tell us how you reached the hospital?” An Qinyan asked after the reunion of the siblings.
“I was driving the car and a woman appeared out of nowhere, “An Xiulan answered.
“Did you break the signal?” Gu Yanxi questioned.
“Absolutely not, “An Xiulan quickly said. “You know ai will never break any law. The light was green but the road was empty and when she appeared out of the air, the car hit her. I had no other option but to take a detour and get her admitted to the hospital because she looked quite injured to me.”
“Thank God, you are fine, “An Qinyan said, hugging the woman.
The doctor arrived and he recognised An Xiulan as the person who brought the injured girl to the hospital. “Your friend has to stay in hospital for a couple of days. She has a leg fracture and needs constant medical supervision.”
An Xiulan sympathized with the officer. “Can I meet her?”
“She is under the influence of sedatives. It will be better if she is not disturbed tonight, “The doctor replied. “You can meet her in the morning. The hospital called her emergency contact and she informed us to let the girl leave who brought her to the hospital.”
An Xiulan smiled and watched the doctor go. She looked at her family and shrugged. “Seems like I will be going home with you.”
The family heaved out a sigh of relief.
An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi left for home first and the siblings decided to drive back together. The elders were giving moments to let the children bond again.
“No way! Dad didn’t give you his car, did he?” Lu Xuan gaped at her.
An Xiulan grinned at him and tossed him the car keys. “You are driving, brother.”
“Isn’t this car your father’s precious baby?” Gu Shangyan asked in confusion. “Didn’t you guys say that he doesn’t let anyone touch it?”
“I’m not just anyone, “An Xiulan winked.
“Yes, you are An Xiulan, Her Majesty, “Lu Xuan said, rolling his eyes. Seriously, he was a tiny bit jealous that she got the car he always eyed.
“Mom said I’m a princess, “An Xiulan glared at him. “Just a princess without a title but I have a crown.”
“Of course, you do, “Lu Xuan laughed at her claim. “But didn’t you return the crowns after one year?”
“Lu Xuan, you need a beating, “An Xiulan grumbled. When she had to return the pageant crown after one year, she cried a lot, hugging them as she was not willing to party with them. Lu Xuan and Gu Shangyan had made fun of her for this. She had told them that if they had starved themselves to death to have a body like hers to win the contest, they would be unhappy too to part with the crown like her. Fine, she was overreacting but she was merely a teenager back then.
Lu Xuan laughed and ruffled her hair and she looked at him in annoyance. “You are no longer cute.”
An Xiulan was ready to scratch his face with her nails but Gu Shangyan, the mediator, stood between the two of them.
“Enough!” He said in a stern tone. “Lu Xuan, don’t irritate Xiulan.” Turning to An Xiulan, he said, “Welcome home, little sister.”
“Thank you, Yan Ge, “An Xiulan smiled and hugged him. “You are my favourite.”
Lu Xuan scoffed, looking here and there but at the two of them. However, he smiled when she wrapped an arm around him too. The three of them hugged each other for a long time with wide smiles on their faces.
“Yan Ge, what are you doing?” An Xiulan asked as she saw Gu Shangyan posting something on his social media.
“Posting a picture with the three of us, “Gu Shangyan said. “I always wanted to do this. I finally get to do this.”
Their eyes were softened as they looked at the selfie they took standing next to the car. The two boys had their arms wrapped around her shoulders and she was in the middle of them, smiling widely at the camera. Although it looked quite simple to look at, it held a lot of sweet and warm feelings between the three of them.
Just as Gu Shangyan posted the picture, the comment box was flooded with a lot of comments mentioning the three of them.
The one comment on the post took their attention as Lu Xuan immediately responded, “Wang Yuxi is in town. He is inviting us for drinks in the bar downtown.”
An Xiulan and Gu Shangyan didn’t reply. Just as they saw Wang Yuxi’s comment, several other friends from High School began replying to the comments and asking if they could join too.
“Lu Mingze is joining too, “Lu Xuan said. “They are excited to meet you both.”
“Is it like a High School reunion?” An Xiulan asked her brother.
Lu Xuan just shrugged.
“How many people are joining?” Gu Shangyan asked. He was not keen on joining get-togethers but if his brother and sister were okay with it, he was fine too. It was not like he was awkward in public, just didn’t like dealing with people.
“Wang Yuxi, Lu Mingze, some of old classmates from Section I, K, A and J. Quite a few of them are in town, “Lu Xuan said. “Wang Yuxi’s one comment organised a party. I heard he got promoted and came home for holiday. Do you wanna join?”
“I’m fine with whatever your answer is, “An Xiulan smiled. “I haven’t met these people in like seven years.”
When Gu Shangyan saw someone mentioning Shen Yue and asking her to come, he didn’t know what came to him but he ended up agreeing with the twins.
“God, who forced Yue’r to come?” An Xiulan asked through gritted teeth.
“What’s wrong with that?” Gu Shangyan asked.
“Everything, “Lu Xuan heaved out a sigh. He and An Xiulan exchanged a look but Gu Shangyan couldn’t understand what was going on between the two of them.
