NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17: Little Schemer
"I am not doing it," Luo Huian refused at once, even if she was hungry it did not mean that she was going to listen to a little girl. Who knows what kind of plans this little girl had in her mind?
"If you don't help me then I will scream and tell everyone that you tried to bully me into buying these things for you. Anyways, you are the only one who took a bite of the burger and I did not eat anything," the little girl said without even batting her eyes.
Luo Huian looked at the scheming little girl and was stupefied. She would have loved to get up and leave but she knew that between the two of them, she was the one who would lose out if the little girl was to scream.
She narrowed her eyes and said to her, "I am not committing murder, arson or theft." She only made a small mistake and the old hag sent her here to suffer and even choose this ridiculous body for her. Who knows what Old Madam Luo would do if Luo Huian were to do any more wrong deeds?
The little girl waved her hand. She said, "Oh you worry too much. Do I look like such an unreasonable person?" The little girl then suddenly introduced herself, "I am the daughter of the business tycoon Pan Xin Yi, my name is Pan Delan. You can call me Lan Lan."
"I want to call you Little Schemer, can I do that?" Luo Huian asked with a sarcastic tone causing Pan Delan to frown.
She said, "You are really too much big sister. How can you hold a grudge against a seven-year-old child?"
Haha.
"Speak. What do you want me to do?" Luo Huian did not wish to be entangled with this little girl anymore. Since it was not a big thing, Luo Huian wanted to be done with it.
Pan Delan was not amused by Luo Huian's tone but she also knew that she was in the wrong as she had more or less blackmailed Luo Huian. She hesitated before saying, "I want you to look for my daddy."
"Your Daddy?" Luo Huian was speechless. This girl, if her daddy was missing then she should have gone to the police what was she doing here? And asking her to look for her daddy on top of that.
Pan Delan understood what Luo Huian was thinking and sighed. She explained, "I did go to the police station but they did not take me lightly. They even laughed at me and said that I should go back home as my Daddy would come back." Those women did not understand the severity of the situation! And Pan Delan could not relay the truth to them either. Her Granddaddy told her that one should not hang their dirty laundry for others to see.
"What about your mother?" Luo Huian asked. Why was this child looking for her Daddy alone, should her mother not be looking with her as well?
At the mention of her mother, Pan Delan's face turned cold. She replied, "My mother cannot be bothered about my Daddy." If anything, her mother actually wanted her Daddy to die!
Even now Pan Delan could not understand why her mother changed so much. In the past, her mother cared and loved her while she treated her Daddy nicely as well. But then suddenly her mother changed. She now only cared about that bad mer who came to look for her every day and night.
Luo Huian noticed the change in the demeanour of the young girl and did not bring up her mother anymore. She was thinking about just looking around with the girl for a while before sending her away.
She was not related to Pan Delan why should she waste her energy by looking for her Daddy but then ——

Luo Huian stared at the status window. She was simply helpless as she looked at the screen floating in front of her. Now it seemed like she couldn't ignore this girl even if she wanted to.
However, as she looked at the set of skills in front of her, Luo Huian pursed her lips.
As if sensing her thoughts, Xiao Hei said to her, "Don't even think about it. Choose the doctor skills, you can save a lot of lives with that…you might even be able to live a better life."
Xiao Hei did not want Luo Huian to become a baker. Even if she were to choose that skill, she would not be able to make a living with it.
However, he forgot that Luo Huian was the kind of person who did exactly what others told her not to do.
She immediately picked up the baker skill leaving Xiao Hei speechless.
"You…"
"Have you gone crazy!" Xiao Hei exploded once again. He could not believe that Luo Huian actually chose the Baking skills, what use were those skills? Was she going to throw whipping cream at her enemies at time of danger?
"Calm down," Luo Huian said without paying attention to Xiao Hei and his tantrum. "Once a very wise woman said that something sweet was the key to happiness."
"And who exactly is this idiot?" Xiao Hei asked angrily.
"Me," replied Luo Huian confidently.'
It was a good thing that Xiao Hei was a snake and did not have hands or else he would have certainly thrown them at Luo Huian!
"This damned girl… she is just as impulsive as she was when she was a child!" Xiao Hei said angrily while looking at Luo Huian. He wished he could do something or at least shake her awake but he couldn't. Because he did not have hands! Whats more ——
He knew how headstrong this girl was, as long as she set her mind on something no one could change her decision!
Luo Huian did not care about the tears of blood that Xiao Hei was shedding, she turned to look at Pan Delan and asked, "So, when did you see your Daddy the last time?"
