Chapter 45 Will they hug and kiss?

After class, Yu Yan didn't rush to leave, but went to the teachers' lounge instead.

Yu Yan's dissatisfaction was directed only at Xiang Jingheng, not at Xiang Chu.

She was also worried that her outburst in the classroom might have frightened Xiang Chu.

When they arrived at the teachers' lounge, they found Xiang Chu sitting there playing with a Rubik's Cube, but Xiang Jingheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Xiao Chu," Yu Yan called out to him.

Xiang Chu raised her head, her long, beautiful phoenix eyes looking at her, and she pursed her lips slightly.

A teacher who was preparing to teach asked in the lounge, "Professor Yu, is this your son? He's so handsome!"

Yu Yan smiled and said yes, then asked Xiang Chu, "Where's your father?"

Xiang Chu: "I'm leaving."

"They've left?"

Yu Yan was taken aback and looked at the schoolbag next to Xiang Chu.

It was bulging inside; besides first-grade textbooks and workbooks, there was also a set of small clothes.

She took out her phone and called Xiang Jingheng, "What do you mean by this?"

This was the first time Xiang Jingheng had received a call from Yu Yan since the divorce.

He sat in the car, a smile playing on his lips, and said in a deliberately calm tone, "Oh, I have to go on a business trip for a few days. Xiang Chu will accompany you during these days."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan's first thought was: something fishy must be going on.

"Are you sure?" Yu Yan asked.

Xiang Jingheng said, "What's there to be uncertain about? You're Xiao Chu's mother, would you sell him? Or is it inconvenient for you?"

The last sentence carried a hint of probing.

Yu Yan is currently living with Shao Muyan, and she will definitely need to inform Uncle Yan before taking the child back to live with her.

If it's inconvenient for him, Yu Yan can take him to a hotel; that's fine.

Yu Yan was still very unhappy that Jing Heng didn't even greet her. He was always like this, used to giving orders and never caring about whether it was convenient for others.

“I don’t have any problems. Xiao Chu is willing to live with me, so I can get to know her better.”

Yu Yan patted Xiang Chu's head.

Xiang Chu didn't dodge this time, but she still kept her head down, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"Um."

Xiang Jingheng's lips curled up. He knew this trick would work. Yu Yan was cold and ruthless to him, but she still loved the child. After all, the child was her own flesh and blood and was irreplaceable.

Just as the atmosphere was about to turn warm, Xiang Jingheng heard Yu Yan say coldly, "But next time, please tell me in advance, and don't treat me like your subordinate."

"..." Seeing that he was about to explode again, Xiang Jingheng coughed lightly.

"I'm telling you, didn't you kick me out?"

Yu Yan's tone remained uncompromising: "If you come uninvited next time, I'll kick you out again."

"I……"

Before Xiang Jingheng could say anything more, Yu Yan hung up on him.

Staring at the disconnected call, Xiang Jingheng was stunned, staring at the phone screen in disbelief. "Did they hang up on me?"

He frowned. "That's rude."

"Pfft." Jin Fan, in the passenger seat, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiang Jingheng glared at him coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

"No." Jin Fan turned around and said, "President Xiang, I think Miss Yu's temper has become much worse than before. Don't always be so hard on her. Even the most formidable woman needs to be coaxed and given emotional support."

Xiang Jingheng put his phone aside, wondering to himself what the hell this "emotional value" was.

He's never even seen it, how can he provide it?

"However, your move to send Xiang Chu to Miss Yu's side was still brilliant."

Jin Fan used his own experience to illustrate his point, readily offering emotional support: "As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. As long as Xiao Chu and Miss Yu get along well, Miss Yu will give you some face for the sake of the child. That way, our cooperation with WD Research Lab will have hope! But... can Xiao Chu and Miss Yu get along? His personality is just like yours."

"So what if he's like me?" Xiang Jingheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Jin Fan pursed his lips, thinking to himself: It's hard to say. It's difficult to judge.

Yu Yan carried Xiang Chu's heavy little schoolbag and took his hand as they walked towards the laboratory.

I'm still quite happy.

She hadn't spent so much time with her son in a long time, and with Jingheng not getting involved or in the way, it was naturally a happy thing.

On the way there, Yu Yan called Shao Muyan and told him about Xiang Jingheng bringing Xiang Chu over.

"It's a good thing that the child lives with you."

Shao Muyan said, "Is it convenient for him to live with you? Let him come and live with me. Or I can clean up the guest room downstairs and let Xiang Chu sleep in my room."

Yu Yan was a little embarrassed. "I was also thinking that if it's inconvenient, I can take Xiang Chu to stay in a hotel for a few days."

"What kind of talk is that? When I let Shao Yun come and stay, you didn't say it was inconvenient."

Shao Muyan's voice came through the receiver, soft and deep: "That's fine, let Xiang Chu sleep in my room."

The decision was final.

Yu Yan responded.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Xiang Chu stopped, turned to look at her, and asked with a cold, obsessive look in her eyes, "Who is he?"

Yu Yan was taken aback.

Like father, like son; Xiang Chu's eyes are exactly the same as Xiang Jingheng's.

“Shao Muyan. I call him Uncle Yan.”

Yu Yan squatted down, took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from Xiang Chu's forehead. "He is my senior uncle, a very accomplished scientist. You don't need to call him by my seniority, just call him Uncle Shao."

Xiang Chu looked straight at her and asked, "Are you and him a couple?"

"..."

Yu Yan paused, surprised that such a young child knew the word "couple," and was both amused and exasperated.

Are kids these days so precocious?

Or... did you hear it from Xiang Jingheng or Gan Xiaoxing?

Thinking of this, Yu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shook her head earnestly.

"No. We're colleagues now, plus roommates."

oh.

Let's believe her for now.

Xiang Chu stopped asking.

—

Upon arriving at the lab, Xiang Chu was surrounded by a group of strange uncles and aunts.

A group of scientists, almost driven mad by their experiments, saw Xiang Chu as if she were some new "little toy," and surrounded her, chattering excitedly.

Xiang Chu was completely taken aback by them and felt deeply suspicious of the important task his father had given him.

Is Dad sure he wants to work with these... people?

Are they really scientists?

However, Xiang Chu soon saw what they looked like at work.

Separated by a glass door, the group of noisy "monkeys" from a moment ago were now very serious and focused, each operating certain machines and computers, with many incomprehensible symbols and numbers appearing one after another.

They were wearing white coats and masks, their expressions serious, as if they were doing something extraordinary... and the woman in the center of the crowd was Yu Yan.

A woman who abandoned him.

Xiang Chu frowned, her emotions were strange for a moment, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what she was feeling.

He's about to live with that woman, and under the same roof as her Uncle Yan. Will their relationship be the same as his father's and Xiaoxing's godmother's?

Do you hug and kiss?
