Chapter 59 Chapter 59 He Voluntarily
At ten o'clock in the morning, Wen Yu woke up and first thing she did was reach for her phone and turn off airplane mode. Two hours earlier, Pan Xianchen had sent her a good morning WeChat message, along with a photo of his work breakfast: meat buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.
Pan Xianchen: Oh, these are all I can eat.
Wen Yu smiled, holding her phone. She got out of bed, washed up, dressed, and went out for breakfast. Then she casually sent Pan Xianchen a photo of his breakfast: seafood congee, pan-fried buns, Hong Kong-style red sausage, shrimp wonton noodles, and iced milk tea.
Wen Xiaoyu: Oh, these are all I can eat.
Ten minutes later, Pan Xianchen called and said through gritted teeth, "Are you showing off to me?"
Wen Yu laughed at the phone.
Pan Xianchen asked, "Are you at a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant? Are you having breakfast or lunch?"
Wen Yu munched on some sausage while saying, "Brunch. Afterwards, I'm going back to the villa to stay for two days with Aslan. Grandma called yesterday and said she missed her daughter and grandson, so I'm going to stop by and see my dad."
"Okay, then I'll be back at the villa tonight." Someone came into Pan Xianchen's office. He nodded to the visitor and said to his phone, "See you tonight."
Aslan was very excited when he returned to the villa, because at home, his mother would control his diet so that he would not eat too much; but at his grandmother's house, the old woman spoiled him and he could eat and eat until his belly was full.
After eating, it can wander around the garden, smelling this flower, stepping on that patch of soil. Its range of activities is much wider than at its mother's house. At this time, everyone else is busy with their own things and doesn't pay much attention to it. It has its own space, where it can do its mischief without being noticed by the adults.
Wen Yu locked the door of the villa, released Aslan into the small garden, and followed her mother to the master bedroom.
Daddy's condition improved a lot, his complexion gradually becoming healthier, but he was still a little thin. He was awake, and when he saw Wenyu, he called out her name in a hoarse voice. Wenyu walked over, sat down by the bed, and said, "Dad, relax and take good care of yourself."
Dad's eyes instantly moistened. His skinny, almost bony hand grasped Wen Yu's. He moved his lips, but no words came out. Wen Yu looked down at their folded hands and couldn't help wondering: Had Dad also embraced that woman outside? Had he also held the hand of that woman's child?
She felt strange and pulled her hand out of her father's hand without leaving a trace.
Dad's eyes were red and flickering, as if he had a lot to say. But Wen Yu turned her head away, not looking at him, not giving him a chance to speak: "Dad, have a good rest."
She quickly left the master bedroom again. Her mother followed her, persuading her, "Why don't you talk to your dad more? He's been lying in bed these past few days, only getting out of bed to sit for a while during mealtimes. He hasn't seen or spoken to you in a long time, and he misses you."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "He didn't come home often before he got sick. Why didn't he want to talk to me then?"
Mom was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly: "Dad knows he was wrong. This illness has changed your dad. You have time to communicate with him. He wants to ask for your forgiveness."
"No," Wen Yu said sternly. "He needs your forgiveness, not mine. I won't forgive him for what he did, but I will support him and fulfill my duties as a child."
"When did your heart become so hard..."
"Mom!" Wen Yu cried softly, "Whether you forgive me or not is your business, I can't control it, but don't try to influence my thoughts!"
Yu Xianyun was stunned by the yelling. Wen Yu's face was serious and stern, her expression resolute. After not seeing her for a few months, Wen Yu had become like this. Her mother knew her daughter had always been independent, but she often kept silent in front of her parents, acting without saying anything. She worried that her daughter would go crazy again, throwing things and smashing things like she had that night that ruined everything. She didn't feel bad about the broken things, but she was worried about her daughter's mental state.
Now, Wen Yu's expression was only a little stern, and Yu Xianyun didn't dare to say anything more. Wen Yu had grown up, and Yu Xianyun gradually felt that her control over her was becoming increasingly inadequate. She followed Wen Yu downstairs without a word. When Wen Yu went to the small garden to play with the dog, she quietly went into the kitchen.
Lunch was a feast; Mom always managed to conjure up a table full of dishes for Wenyu. But Wenyu, having just finished brunch, wasn't hungry at all. She only took a few token bites before leaving the table. Mom also prepared a large meal for dinner. While Mom was busy in the kitchen, Wenyu went outside the villa to walk the dog.
Aslan had just eaten so much that his stomach hadn't even shrunk yet. Now it was time for his favorite walk, and he couldn't even run fast with his stomach full. Aslan turned his head and looked at Wen Yu regretfully. Wen Yu pointed at his nose and scolded, "Serves you right!"
She led Aslan to the villa entrance to wait for Pan Xianchen, and soon, Pan Xianchen arrived. The security guard at the booth was already familiar with Pan Xianchen, so he smiled and let him in, pointing at him and Wen Yu and saying, "You two are a couple, right?"
"yes."
Pan Xianchen nodded in response, his arm naturally wrapped around Wen Yu's waist, and his other hand took the dog leash.
The security guard had an "I knew it" look on his face and said with a smile, "I saw it a long time ago. You two were like that before. It was very obvious!"
Pan Xianchen looked at Wen Yu and said to her with a smile, "What were we like before?"
Wen Yu pinched him and said, "Stop talking. Our son is still here."
Pan Xianchen glanced down at Aslan, who was also looking at them with his head tilted. Aslan was clearly lifeless tonight, with a serious face. Pan Xianchen asked Wen Yu, "Did you just teach him a lesson?"
"It's full."
Pan Xianchen squatted down, rubbed Aslan's cheeks, and said, "It's okay, we'll burn it off with some exercise. Mom's so fierce, just leave her alone."
Wen Yu poked Pan Xianchen in the waist and said, "Stop trying to sow discord between us mother and son."
Pan Xianchen suddenly grabbed Wen Yu's fingers, his body lurching uncontrollably. He stood up and smiled in an ambiguous way, "Don't poke me."
Wen Yu subconsciously glanced at his waist, and suddenly Ye Yinuo's comments on Pan Xianchen rang in her mind: Mr. Pan must be very fierce... He must be very fierce... He must be very fierce... Very fierce... Fierce...
Wen Yu: “…”
Could you please not make a casual comeback, Ye Yinuo? She kept saying it in her mind, and she was almost embarrassed.
"What are you thinking about?" Pan Xianchen looked at her face and asked.
"It's nothing serious... No... I said I didn't think anything." Wen Yu turned away, suddenly speechless with himself.
Fortunately, Pan Xianchen didn’t seem to understand. He just smiled and didn’t say anything.
They continued to circle around the villa area. Aslan seemed to be digesting his food, and later on, he started to become more lively. Once Aslan started jumping and running, Wen Yu couldn't hold him back. The dog leash was wrapped around Pan Xianchen's hand. Pan Xianchen bent down, patted Aslan's back, and ordered, "Race with me!"
In the blink of an eye, Pan Xianchen and the dog ran forward and almost disappeared.
Wen Yu followed silently, not intending to chase. She had run the 800 meters in high school in just over five minutes, so she wasn't strong enough, so she didn't want to humiliate herself. She walked slowly along the tree-lined path beside the villa. Before long, she heard the sounds of a man and a dog from behind. Pan Xianchen shouted to Aslan as he ran, "Keep going!"
In the blink of an eye, the man and the dog were in front again...
Wen Yu: “…”
Being trapped.
When Wen Yu was hooped for the third time, she couldn't help but stop Pan Xianchen. Seeing his sweaty face, she asked, "Aren't you tired?"
How come I have more energy than a dog?
Pan Xianchen stopped and stood beside Wen Yu, panting heavily. "Not bad. I want to show you that I'm pretty strong."
"……ah?"
Wen Yu looked at Pan Xianchen's relaxed expression and suddenly understood. Okay, the thing I just let slip is waiting for her here, right?
She risked her life, crossing her arms defiantly: "Running is pretty intense, but it doesn't mean anything."
Pan Xianchen stared at Wen Yu for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Wen Yu shuddered at his actions. She felt that this wasn't an agreement with her, but rather a declaration of war, with an indeterminate timeframe. But this was the scariest part. Who knew when he would send his troops, seize her city, make her beg for mercy, and then finally take her down in one fell swoop?
She bit her lip and thought for a long time, then decided to act accordingly: "Pan Xianchen, I just said the wrong thing, don't mind it..."
Pan Xianchen smiled and replied, "It's too late."
Aslando ran a lap and found that the man who was following closely behind him had disappeared, so he sped up and circled around from behind. At this time, he finally saw his parents standing there. He rushed up excitedly, rubbed Pan Xianchen's legs with his head and body, and then barked a few times, urging Pan Xianchen to continue racing with him.
But Pan Xianchen had clearly withdrawn from the race. He gave A-Slan a disheartened look before taking Wen Yu's hand. A-Slan's intelligent blue eyes fixed on his father and mother's clasped hands, and he suddenly understood: Dad's goal tonight was Mom, not outrunning him. He was just Dad's tool to curry Mom's favor.
After figuring it out, Aslan gathered all his strength and rushed towards his father and mother's hand like a fighting bull. His strength was so great that he immediately broke his father and mother's hands apart. Then, he rubbed his tail and rubbed against Wenyu's side, and even tried to stand on two feet and use his two front paws to touch his mother.
Wen Yu was amused by Aslan's appearance. She squatted down and rubbed Aslan's head and body lovingly. Aslan stuck out his tongue and licked him. Pan Xianchen couldn't bear it anymore and pulled the clingy Aslan aside by the dog leash. "Stop licking! What are you licking for? He has never licked like this before!"
Aslan and Pan Xianchen's strength collided, and gradually, Aslan felt that he was about to be torn apart, so he turned around and glared at Pan Xianchen and barked.
Pan Xianchen looked surprised. He pulled the dog hard with one hand and pointed at its head with the other. "What do you mean? You're going to dump me after you're done with me? Who was running with you just now?"
Wen Yu couldn't stop laughing: "Let me tell you, the relationship between Aslan and I is not something you can just sow discord with."
On the way back to the villa, Aslan insisted on getting between Wen Yu and Pan Xianchen, blocking them like a sandwich, and not letting Pan Xianchen's hand touch Wen Yu. If Pan Xianchen got even a little closer, Aslan would nudge him with his butt and bark at him fiercely.
As they walked, Pan Xianchen was angry all the way, while Wen Yu was laughing all the way.
Arriving at the villa's entrance, Aslan slipped inside. Yu Xianyun had just finished setting the dining table. She tilted her head and saw two people standing outside. She took off her apron and walked over. Standing next to Wen Yu was the man who had helped walk the dog last time, and also Wen Yu's boss. Yu Xianyun recognized him.
"Mr. Pan?"
Pan Xianchen smiled at Wen Yu's mother and said, "Hello, Auntie. I was just walking the dog with Wen Yu."
"Is that so...what a coincidence?"
Pan Xianchen explained, "I live next door to you. It's very close."
Yu Xianyun glanced at the nearby villa complex and understood. Then she began to lecture Wen Yu: "Xiaoyu, how could you let your boss walk your dog? That's so rude."
Wen Yu retorted nonchalantly, "He volunteered."
"That doesn't mean you can't order your boss to do your work for you..." Yu Xianyun was amazed at Wen Yu's complacent expression. Her daughter had been influenced by her parents since she was a child, attending all kinds of dinner and drinking parties, so why was she so ignorant now? Pan Xianchen glanced at Wen Yu and asked softly, "Haven't you told your parents yet?"
Wen Yu replied: "Not in time."
Yu Xianyun looked back and forth at the two of them, not understanding their riddle for a moment. Then, Pan Xianchen introduced himself: "Auntie, Wen Yu hasn't introduced herself to you yet, so let me formally introduce myself. My name is Pan Xianchen, and I'm currently dating Wen Yu. I'm Wen Yu's boyfriend."
Yu Xianyun: “……?”
Wen Yu looked at her mother's confused expression, smiled and said, "I'll tell you in detail when we have dinner later."
Yu Xianyun glanced at Wen Yu, then at Pan Xianchen. She calmed herself down for a moment, pointed inside, and politely said to Pan Xianchen, "Haven't you eaten yet? Why don't you come in and eat at our house? We have plenty of food."
Pan Xianchen declined, "Thank you, Auntie. I won't be going in to eat. I haven't prepared anything today, and it wouldn't be nice to come empty-handed on my first visit. Let's do it another day. I'll be ready and come formally the next time."
Wen Yu said goodbye to Pan Xianchen, then walked in, holding her mother's hand. Her mother was very concerned about her personal problems, and at the dinner table, she would tell her mother the whole process of how she and Pan Xianchen met, got to know each other, and fell in love.
