Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

An Xiulan and Lu Zhaolin soon arrived at the mall and they went straight to a jewellery shop.

“Should I choose earrings or a bracelet?” Lu Zhaolin asked, holding both things while showing them to An Xiulan.

“They come in a set along with a pendant, ” An Xiulan pointed out. “Why not take them all?”

“Good choice, ” Lu Zhaolin smiled at her. He asked the shop attendant to pack everything selected for him. When the shop attendant was packing his gift for his wife, his gaze fell on an exquisite hairpin that had work of gorgeous light pink stones. With just one look, he knew for whom this jade hairpin was made.

“Xiulan, come here, ” Lu Zhaolin called her.

“Yes, dad, ” An Xiulan went to him.

Lu Zhaolin looked at the shop attendant who was taking the jade hairpin out of the glass container. “Can you try this on her hair?”

“Sure, sir, ” The shop attendant said with a smile.

An Xiulan was confused with the turn of events. She let the shop attendant undo her ponytail and a moment later, she gasped as she saw a very gorgeous jade hairpin going inside her hair.

“Do you like it?” Lu Zhaolin asked her.

“This is the most gorgeous hairpin I have ever seen, ” An Xiulan gasped.

“Then, we are taking this, ” Lu Zhaolin smiled at the shop attendant.

“Can I take it out to pack it in a box?” The shop attendant asked.

When Lu Zhaolin saw how An Xiulan was still looking into the mirror, he shook his head. “Don’t. Let her wear this. She loves it.”

“Dad, is it mine?” An Xiulan asked, barely able to hold back her tears.

“Yes, ” Lu Zhaolin smiled at her.

An Xiulan burst into tears and she hugged him tightly. In her last life, she had expected her father to give her one thing but he never did. All her half-brothers and sisters were blessed with gold and silver but she was never even asked if she wanted one thing.

Once she loved a hairpin, she had asked her Duke father to buy it for him but he didn’t even spare her a glance. She couldn’t hold back her tears when Lu Zhaolin said that it was for her.

“Thank you, dad, ” An Xiulan said in a hoarse voice.

“I’m sorry, Xiulan, ” Lu Zhaolin said in a cracked voice. “I wronged you. I made you feel fatherless. I swear I will treat you the best. I will treat you like a princess. I won’t ask you to forgive me but please give me a chance to make it up to you.”

An Xiulan nodded her head but didn’t break the hug. She wanted to feel loved by a father for the sake of two girls who died craving for a father’s love.

“Now do you want me to take a picture of your hairpin and you?” Lu Zhaolin said, wiping his tears.

An Xiulan laughed freely after so long and nodded her head.

“Say cheese, ” Lu Zhaolin smiled at her and she posed for a picture.

On the other hand, An Qinyan was in the office when her phone rang with a new notification. When she saw the notification, it was about An Xiulan posting a picture on her social media. She quickly clicked on it and saw her lovely daughter smiling so widely at the camera showing off her beautiful hairpin.

She felt a smile tugging on her lips too. Maybe, sending An Xiulan to the Lu family for a change of environment was not a bad idea. She hadn’t seen such a glow on her daughter’s face for a long time.

She sighed as she placed her phone on the table and looked out of the window. It was time that she had a conversation with Lu Xuan, given his temper she wasn’t sure how he would take it.

Back to An Xiulan, she reminded her father to buy Song Yifei’s favourite blush pink roses.

“Dad, I didn’t buy a gift for Auntie, “An Xiulan suddenly said. ” I wished her a happy birthday in the morning but it slipped my mind that I have to give her a gift too.”

“It’s alright, “Lu Zhaolin said. “You can always give her a gift later.”

“Dad, where are you going out for dinner?” An Xiulan asked him.

“I haven’t decided, “Lu Zhaolin hesitatingly said.

An Xiulan groaned. She began racking her brain and then something hit her. She recalled that she was invited for the inauguration of a new restaurant a few months back and today it was one of the trendy places to spend time for couples. She texted the team who once contacted her on Weibo and asked if they could make a last-minute reservation for her family.

She instantly received an answer in affirmation but in return she had to post a story on her feed about the restaurant. She agreed and just like this she used her magic and booked a date for her father and his wife.

“Dad, I got Auntie a birthday gift, “An Xiulan grinned at him mischievously. “Check your phone when we reach home.”

Lu Zhaolin had an inkling that she must have done something mischievous again. When he pulled the car in the driveway, he checked the phone and turned crimson .

His daughter booked a date for him and his wife?

She ran inside laughing heartily. She found Song Yifei in the living room fussing over Lu Xun and twirled her. “Happy birthday, Auntie.”

“Aiyo, why are you so excited today?” Song Yifei asked with a wide smile on her face.

“Look at my hairpin, dad gifted me, “An Xiulan showed her proudly.

“Very pretty, “Song Yifei said with a smile. “But it looks more pretty in your hair.”

An Xiulan blushed at her words. “Auntie…”

“Jiejie!” Lu Xun was jumping on the floor. ” Kiss. Hug.”

An Xiulan bent down to hug the tiny human who wasn’t tiny anymore. “Xiaobao, Jiejie missed you a lot.”
