Dream Quest 5

This year's New Year's Eve was just like any other. Huang Yaya's father was still working overtime on New Year's Eve. It was just her, her mother, and her brother eating together at home.

"Yaya, you are in your twenties now and it's time for you to fall in love." Mother Huang rarely showed concern for Huang Yaya's relationship status.

"I understand." Huang Yaya just lowered her head and looked at the rice in her bowl and replied.

"Women should get married and have children early." Mother Huang continued to mutter.

"Your cousin died so early, you should have a baby soon and give it to your aunt to raise." Mother Huang said it very naturally.

Huang Yaya angrily threw her chopsticks on the table and shouted, "Mom!"

She is not a reproductive machine, and why should the child she gives birth to be given to her aunt!

"Yaya, can you be more sensible? Your aunt has had a hard time. You have to get married and have children anyway. Have a few more and raise one for your aunt. That way, your aunt will have something to look forward to in her future life."

Huang Yaya's mother felt deeply for her older sister. It was her sister who, as a teenager, worked away from home to support the family and enabled Huang's mother to attend high school. Her sister's health remained poor after she married, and she didn't have her only son until she was nearly 40. Now that child is gone, her sister calls and cries every day, and Huang's mother's heart aches as well.

That's her sister, and her daughter was born from her body, so she should feel as sorry for her sister as she does.

Huang Yaya's heart was inexplicably ignited with anger. Her mother's request was too outrageous. She said angrily: "Mom, what do you think of me?"

Huang Zijian also said weakly: "Mom, you are going a bit too far."

Seeing her ideas rejected by her two children, Huang's mother was furious and shouted, "You know I'm your mother! Your aunt is crying every day and saying she wants to die. Can you guys have a little conscience? She's your aunt."

"Your aunt is so good to you! Besides, women are supposed to get married and have children. I just told you to do it after graduation. I didn't ask you to get married and have children now."

"I've discussed this idea with your aunt. If she's willing, she'll definitely take care of her own child. Besides, your uncle works in a state-owned enterprise, and his salary is not low..."

"Your aunt said she'll give you 200,000 yuan and give their house to your child..."

"I don't want to!"

"You can't be so selfish. Your aunt treated you so well. How could you bear to watch her die? How can you be so conscientious..."

…

Huang Yaya felt hurt but also amused! Every time her mother thought of something, she would come up with a bunch of excuses. If she refuted them, she would be considered unfilial and heartless!!!

But she is her mother's daughter. Why didn't her mother ask her if she had ever thought about getting married and having children? Instead, she made the decision on her own and forced her to comply.

"I have my own life. Don't make decisions for me as a matter of course." Huang Yaya shouted with tears.

"Am I doing this for your own good? Am I doing this for your own good? Did I raise you so much just for you to yell at me at the dinner table?"

"My grandmother raised me, and you don't want me at all! You only have Huang Zijian in your heart."

Huang Zijian watched the two people yelling at each other, and could only silently return to the room and slam the door heavily.

"Grandma, grandma, that's my mother too. I sent her money to support you."

…

"If you don't want to stay in this house, get out and go to your grandma's house."

Huang Yaya couldn't win the argument with Huang's mother. Every time she resisted, she was met with a barrage of abuse.

Huang's mother felt wronged, and so did Huang Yaya. One felt that she was ungrateful for raising her child, and the other felt that her parents didn't like her at all.

The meal ended in a bad mood, and Huang Yaya could only go back to her room and cry silently. The bear that Liu Fangyu gave her was still put back into her room by Huang's mother.

She glanced at the messages on her phone and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Happy New Year!"

She guessed that the text message must have been sent by Liu Fangyu. He was such a gentle person, and she was so upset now.

At this moment, she really wanted to send a message to Liu Fangyu to tell him about her sadness and her mother's excessive behavior!

But how could she treat him like this? Since she couldn't be with him, she should just be quiet and not disturb him.

Huang Yaya lay on the bed crying, and she told herself: Just take a nap, just take a nap!

Compared with last year's joyous occasion, this year's New Year in Pingnan Marquis Mansion is very deserted.

Huo Weixi looked at the glass of wine in his hand, not knowing what came to his mind. He suddenly squeezed it hard, and the white ceramic wine glass shattered. Red blood dripped along the fragments onto the brown sandalwood table.

The servant beside him took a step forward and said, "Hou..." Before he could finish his words, he glanced at Huo Weixi's expression and retreated back to his original position.

Ruomei hurried over and panted, "My Lord, the Madam is in the room..."

Hearing this, Huo Weixi's indifferent expression was tinged with smile. He threw away the bloody fragments in his hand and hurriedly ran towards the room.

Huang Yaya lay quietly on the bed, with dried tear marks and fresh tears on her face. She resisted, "I won't have a child, I won't..."

Huo Weixi's heart ached when he saw this. He stroked her forehead with his uninjured hand and coaxed her softly, "No, we won't have a baby..."

Ruomei hurriedly brought gauze. Huo Weixi borrowed the gauze and waved goodbye to Ruomei.

“Don’t push me…”

Huo Weixi bandaged himself, kissed her eyes gently, and said, "No one dares to force you..."

Ruomei quickly brought a basin of water and said, "My Lord, let me wipe Madam's face!"

"Let me do it."

As soon as Huo Weixi placed his hands in the basin, the blood on the gauze began to spread. Seeing this, Ruomei quickly whispered, "My Lord, I'll go change the basin of water."

"Um"

This time, Ruomei wrung out the handkerchief and handed it to Huo Weixi, who wiped away the tears bit by bit.

Huang Yaya felt pain and warmth around her eyes. She opened her eyes and saw Huo Weixi gently wiping her face.

At this time, Huo Weixi seemed to be her salvation. She climbed up and hugged Huo Weixi tightly.

"I miss you so much." Huang Yaya said.

"Me too." Huo Weixi's voice was a little choked. He threw the handkerchief on the ground. Ruomei picked it up tactfully and went out with the basin of water.

"My dear, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did anyone bully you?" Huo Weixi patted her back gently.

"Well, someone bullied me." Huang Yaya listened to his comforting words and tears flowed out again.

"Who is it!" Huo Weixi's tone was a little cold at this moment.

"It's you!" Huang Yaya cried.

"Madam, I..."

"I was wrong, my lady." Huo Weixi's thousands of words were reduced to just this one sentence.
