Duan Wanyuan didn't know it was his mother's birthday, but he felt that life should be full of surprises. He had almost never seen his father give his mother a gift outside of special occasions, so he would prepare small gifts from time to time to make his mother happy.
Xie Shuye also gave Aunt Zhou a gift, but he didn't know it was because it was the first time he had met her, so he prepared the gift for her.
Finally, Duan Wanyuan looked at his father expectantly. Mr. Duan had no choice but to say, "My gift should be arriving soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Duan's assistant walked in from outside.
Duan placed the two plane tickets in Aunt Zhou's hands, and then said, "I've already bought the tickets for the concert you've always wanted to go to. I'll give Ayuan another week off so he can spend time with you."
Wan Ge shook her head again: "I'm afraid we can't take a week's vacation. Aunt Zhou can go with Aunt Chu first, and then we can all go together as a family during the New Year, okay?"
When Aunt Zhou heard Wan Ge say that, she knew they had something important to do, so she quickly nodded and said, "Of course, that's great. This brat doesn't like classical music, wouldn't it be a downer to take him? It's perfect if Jiao Jiao and I go together."
…
After finishing their meal, the couple walked ahead, while Duan Wanyuan, Wange, and Xie Shuye followed behind.
Duan Wanyuan watched his parents talking, then glanced at Wange beside him, and said softly, "Sister, I feel like Dad doesn't really like Mom."
Although the couple tried their best to act like a normal couple in front of him, he always felt an inexplicable distance between them.
Sometimes I feel like they're not like a couple at all, but more like business partners.
Wan Ge patted his head but didn't say anything more.
Duan Wanyuan is no longer a child; he can sense certain things, so there's no need for me to lie to him.
She looked at him and then asked, "If there are no feelings between them, would you be very sad?"
Duan Wanyuan thought about it seriously for a moment, and then replied, "At first, I felt sad, after all, no one can accept that their parents have no feelings for each other. But then I thought, if they get along like friends, it doesn't seem so bad."
At least since there are no feelings between the two parties, they won't suffer any heartbreak.
Even if my parents don't have a romantic relationship, we still get along like a family. There's nothing wrong with that.
He just felt that his parents were hiding things from him, and sometimes he felt a little sad.
"Don't think too much about it. Isn't it good enough that we're all together as a family now?"
Duan Wanyuan nodded again after hearing what Wan Ge said: "Yes, you're right, sister. It's enough for us to be together as a family now."
After saying that, Duan Wanyuan didn't think about it anymore: "Then I'll go back with my parents first, you and..."
Duan Wanyuan looked Xie Shuye over again before finally saying, "Be careful when you go back with your brother-in-law."
"Yes, we will. See you tomorrow." Wan Ge had already arranged a time with the father and son, and they would meet again tomorrow.
…
Early the next morning, Wange drove back to the old house to take her father and younger brother to W headquarters.
Because it was a work-related matter, Wan Ge didn't bring Xie Shuye along, leaving him alone at home.
