Chapter 888: Aunty Shu

“Aunty, I want to go with you and Uncle Ye but I wouldn’t be able to tag along if my father doesn’t allow me to go,” Yuan Yuan said sadly. He was afraid that his father would not agree to let him go to Hawaii.

His father was terrifying when he was in one of his stern moods and was as scary as the god of Hades.

“Don’t worry, I’ll speak to your dad,” she said.

He Xiyan listened in on the conversation and she could tell from this short exchange that Yuan Yuan was pretty close to this aunty and she could also tell that this aunty sincerely cared about Yuan Yuan.

She walked over and asked in confusion, “Yuan Yuan, who are you speaking to?”

Yuan Yuan looked at his mother and smiled innocently as he said, “Aunty Shu.”

He Xiyan frowned, “Who is Aunty Shu?”

Yuan Yuan didn’t know how to respond.

He looked up at the ceiling and wondered why his mother was asking him such questions when Aunty Shu was just Aunty Shu. He suddenly remembered his father had warned him to not mention Aunty Shu in front of his mother. His father said that his mother would jump into the ocean if he triggered memories of the past.

“How are you related to Aunty Shu?” He Xiyan probes further. She could that Aunty Shu doted on Yuan Yuan since she even offered to bring him to Hawaii. She wouldn’t have mentioned this trip if they weren’t that close.

Yuan Yuan blinked as he looked at his mother and gripped the edge of his clothes.

What should he say? What should he say? Yuan Yuan thought quickly and tried to come up with a plausible answer.

He finally beamed happily at his mother and said, “Aunty Shu and Uncle Ye are friends of my father.”

“Friends?” He Xiyan frowned. She clearly didn’t buy his explanation.

Yuan Yuan tossed his phone aside and went to tug at her hand and pulled her to sit beside him. He asked her to turn on the cartoon that he had been watching yesterday. He had turned on the television earlier but had failed to find the cartoon.

He Xiyan found the particular cartoon for him and hit the play button.

Chen Jiahang was done washing the dishes and walked into the living room. The moment he entered, the lamp cast a long silhouette on the floor.

He looked a little more serious now that he no longer smiled with such childish innocence and he seemed colder as well.

He walked over, took his seat on the sofa and watched the childish cartoon with Yuan Yuan.

The cartoon lasted almost an hour.

Yuan Yuan kept smiling happily and would occasionally turn to look and chat with his mother.

He didn’t know what to say to Uncle Chen, so he didn’t interact with him at all.

He Xiyan was sandwiched between man and boy and Jiahang held her hand the entire time. She would steal glances at this man and wanted to speak to him on several occasions but she ultimately remained silent since Yuan Yuan was around.

She only entered her bedroom after Yuan Yuan had washed and gone to bed.

The moment she walked in, an arm curled around her waist and she was swept off her feet by Jiahang.

Chen Jiahang brought He Xiyan to the bed and gently laid her down.

He Xiyan pursed her lips together and looked a little embarrassed.

“Jiahang…” she said and looked at him in confusion.

Chen Jiahang also climbed onto the bed and pulled her into his arms.
