17 I'm The World's Most Beautiful Girl!

Lu Jeong Shan was initially going to reject them but when he looked at her puppy eyes, he sighed in defeat. "I'll have to trouble you all tonight then."

Hence, he, who came for a different purpose, ended up having dinner with the Li Family.

- DINING ROOM

"When Yuri was small, she always said that she'll marry you when you two grow up!" Li Yuan kept talking about that which made Li Yuri blush from embarrassment. She immediately glared at her father and covered her face sheepishly. "Dad! Why are you bringing that up right now?! Bro Shan, don't listen to Dad's nonsense!"

Compared to Li Yuri who was losing her control over her emotion, Lu Jeong Shan's reaction was much calmer. He didn't react at all but no one noticed the corner of his lips lifting up, his expression indescribable.

Li Yuri glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and was somewhat disappointed to not see any reaction from him. Was she expecting Bro Shan to blush like her *scoff*? It was all her wishful thinking! Whatever! At least, she got a chance to have dinner with Bro Shan; she should be happy!

Thinking that, she started stuffing her mouth with food like a hungry wolf. At the side, Ji Shi Ya couldn't help but shook her head. 'This girl.. she is eating as if I've starved her for years! She can't even maintain a proper ladylike mannerism in front of Xiao Shan!'

Li Yuran gave a thumbs up to Lu Jeong Shan. "Dude, your handsome looks made you so popular that every girl in my class fell in love with you! I say, your looks are only second to mine after all, I'm still the most handsome..."

Hearing his words, before anyone else reacted, Li Yuri spat the water that she just drank right in Li Yuran's face! After that, she burst out laughing looking at Li Yuran's "handsome face" dripping with water. Everyone broke out into laughter including Lu Jeong Shan who couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Yuri scoffed mockingly: "Brother Ran, aren't you getting way ahead of yourself? Most handsome? If your face could be considered the most handsome, then what would Bro Shan's face mean? If you're handsome then I'm the world's most beautiful girl! Tsk tsk, you simply overestimate yourself too much!"

Following her words, Li Yuran's face fell as he looked at the laughing people. He gritted his teeth and wiped his face. Taking a deep breath, he shouted, "LI YURI!!!"

He then charged towards Li Yuri who intentionally teased him to chase her. After running around, they finally stopped when they realized Lu Jeong Shan was still present. Awkwardly, the both of them took their own seats and continued eating.

Li Yuan cleared his throat as he said with an embarrassed smile, "Xiao Shan, don't mind these two kids; they always fight like this.." He sent a death glare at Li Yuran who wanted to say something but didn't at last. Li Yuri sent him provocative looks as she courted death which made the latter grind teeth in anger.

The silent Li Yuxi, who was busy eating, finally spoke up curiously. "Brother Shan.. What is it like to be Vice-President of your class?" Lu Jeongshan looked at her and said casually, "It's nothing but a name. There's not much to it."

Li Yuri chimed in while eating, "That's right. I, as the Class President, have more duties than Bro Shan! The year just started so it's natural for us to not have much work right now.. Now that we're going to lead the 'Student Help Club', we'll be much more busier by then.."

Ji Shi Ya looked at her daughter with a proud smile on her face, "Xiao Ri, you've grown a lot unlike a certain someone.." At the end of her sentence, she sent a meaningful glance at Li Yuran which made him feel speechless. Why was he dragged in the conversation when he was just minding his own business?!

As if it was not enough to infuriate him, Li Yuan rubbed Li Yuxi's head and said gently. "Xiao Xi, when you grow up, become like your big sister, alright? Don't be useless like your eldest brother." Li Yuxi nodded her head like a filial daughter she always was.

Li Yuran was dumbfounded: "..." Was he freaking adopted?! Or else why would his own parents call him 'useless'?!
