Chapter 887: Let Me Know in Advance

He Xiyan turned to look at Jiahang and took in every minute change in expression, including his frown and the soft smile.

She knew that this was no longer the Jiahang she used to know, so she wasn’t sure how Jiahang would treat her son after he regained his memories.

Yuan Yuan walked over and sat beside his mother.

“Mom, I want to eat some fish,” Yuan Yuan said as he pointed at the plate of steamed bass.

He Xiyan used her chopsticks to pick a piece of fish and meticulously plucked out the fish bones before she placed it in his bowl.

Yuan Yuan ate happily and would often let his mother know what he wanted to eat. He stole occasional glances at Uncle Chen who sat opposite him and only continued eating after he saw that Uncle Chen had not noticed him stealing glances at him.

Yuan Yuan suddenly put down his chopsticks as a sudden thought occurred to him. He ruffled his hair and asked, “Uncle Chen, why are you suddenly able to speak?”

Yuan Yuan’s dark eyes widened as he blinked at Uncle Chen. He remembered that this uncle couldn’t talk and that he was a mute but he clearly heard him speak earlier.

Chen Jiahang finally looked at this boy but there was nothing in his gaze that gave his feelings away.

“My vocal cords were damaged previously and this was why I couldn’t speak,” he answered.

Yuan Yuan replied, “Oh…”

He didn’t know how to respond to that, so he slid off the chair and waved his hands.

“Mom, I’m going off to watch some cartoons,” he said as he walked toward the living room.

Then, He Xiyan and Chen Jiahang were the only ones left in the living room. He Xiyan didn’t speak and merely continued eating. She would occasionally look up to steal glances at the man who sat across her, this man who was so familiar yet unfamiliar to her. She noticed that he was eating quietly as well.

“When did Yuan Yuan come by?” he suddenly asked.

He Xiyan froze for a moment and looked at Chen Jiahang in confusion because she sensed that the change in tone. Jiahang had never once sounded so solemn.

“He came by yesterday. The Mo family maid sent him over,” she replied.

After she responded, she realized that Jiahang stopped trying to continue this conversation. Instead, he put down his chopsticks and started to clear the plates.

He Xiyan said as she picked up a plate, “Let me do it. You should get some rest.”

Chen Jiahang took the plate away from her and stacked several plates up.

“Yan Yan, please let me know in advance next time he comes to visit,” he said.

He Xiyan didn’t know what to say and she looked at Chen Jiahang in surprise.

She suddenly felt as though something heavy had smashed against her heart and the pain was so intense that it left her breathless.

She didn’t respond to Jiahang but turned and walked toward the living room. She saw that Yuan Yuan had already turned on the television but he wasn’t watching his cartoons. Instead, he was sending a voice message to someone on his phone.

“Aunty, I’m at my mom’s place and will be home in three days,” Yuan Yuan said happily.

Soon, he received Shu Man’s reply. He played her voice message and Shu Man’s kind voice could be heard saying, “Yuan Yuan, I’ll pay you a visit next weekend. Oh yes, I’ll be heading with Uncle Ye to Hawaii next month. Would you like to come along?”

Yuan Yuan rubbed at his face and blinked rapidly as he considered this proposal. He looked very hopeful but this soon turned into a hesitant expression.
