When Lin Jiangchu went down on his knees to apologize to her, Li Xiaolu was so shocked by his actions that she didn't realize what was going on for almost a minute. Speechless to say anything, she was glued to her spot just like a statue.
When she came back to her mind, she immediately got up and started pulling Lin Jiangchu up from the floor. "Please, get up! You don't have to do this...." she stammered.
"No, I won't get up unless you forgive me, " Lin Jiangchu said stubbornly.
"I forgive you. I forgive you. Please get up." Li Xiaolu quickly accepted his apology and tried to move her second brother but he didn't budge.
"No, I know that you haven't forgiven me yet." Lin Jiangchu pouted.
"I did. I really forgave you." Li Xiaolu nodded.
"Then why didn't you call me Brother Jiangchu? I noticed that you call him, 'Brother Lin' and you even call my elder brother, 'Brother Junfeng'. Then why not me? Isn't it because you are still haven't forgiven me yet?" Lin Jiangchu asked with jealousy in voice while he pointed towards Lin Mochen and his elder brother Lin Junfeng, respectively.
"Call me Brother Jiangchu and I will know that you have really forgiven me, " Lin Jiangchu said anxiously as he wanted to hear her call him like that in her sweet voice.

"And mom, dad... we agree with that adopting thing, " Lin Jiangchu added.

"That's great... Thank you, thank you so much, " Zhu Qian smiled.
"You are adopting someone?" Li Xiaolu asked when she saw how happy everyone was. That's when Zhu Qian and Lin Haoming realized that Li Xiaolu was also present with them. They wanted to keep the adoption thing a secret from Li Xiaolu as they wanted to surprise her.
"You don't know?" Lin Jiangchu frowned as he thought that Lin Xiaolu might be knowing about their parent's decision to adopt her.
Li Xiaolu shook her head, "No, "
"We are thinking about adopting a dog, " Lin Mochen interrupted before his second brother could say something with that loose mouth of his.
"Oh!" Li Xiaolu smiled with a nod.
