Chapter 134 You're really hungry!
When Yu Yan called Shao Min, she looked very embarrassed.
She even wondered if there was something wrong with her. Even if someone liked children, no one was as "enthusiastic" as she was. But Yu Yan also knew very well that she was only like this towards Shao Yun.
Not to mention other people's children, she wasn't even close to her own son.
Only when she was with Shao Yun did Yu Yan feel a strange sense of relaxation and joy. She and Shao Yun had a natural closeness, and she felt comfortable even if they just stayed together without doing or saying anything.
She rarely relied on others like this, but whether it was Shao Muyan or Shao Yun, she genuinely wanted to get closer to them.
People are probably more willing to be close to those who like them.
Shao Min was quite agreeable and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, it was always Shao Muyan who took care of Shao Yun, and Shao Yun was also willing to be close to Yu Yan.
In Shao Min's eyes, Yu Yan had long been a member of their family. She was reliable and trustworthy, so she had no worries about entrusting Shao Yun to her.
"I have no problem with that," Shao Min said with a smile. "As long as Yunyun is willing, I'm all for it."
"good."
Yu Yan and Shao Min exchanged a few jokes and then hung up the phone. When she turned to talk to Shao Muyan, her eyes still held a lingering smile, which stunned onlookers.
“Sister Min agreed,” Yu Yan said.
Shao Muyan came to his senses and smiled, "She has no reason to disagree. With someone helping her take care of the child, she's happy to be relaxed and carefree."
Yu Yan shook her head in disagreement, "How could that be? Yunyun is so easy to take care of."
She had never seen a child easier to take care of than Shao Yun. Not only did he not need any care from adults, but he could also take care of adults in return.
However, Yu Yan didn't want Shao Yun to be too sensible. Too much wisdom can lead to trouble. Children have their own world, and she hoped he could live a more innocent and simple life.
The two of them quickly packed their luggage for the next few days.
They didn't have much luggage, but the trunk was still packed full. Shao Muyan and Yu Yan had bought a lot of things for the old man and the old lady.
Shao Muyan drove Yu Yan to the school, intending to ask Shao Yun for leave.
Yu Yan got out of the car but stood outside the school without going in. She said to Shao Muyan, "You go ahead, I'll wait here."
Shao Muyan knew she was afraid Xiang Chu would see it, and simply hummed in agreement.
The teacher was well aware of Shao Yun's current academic level and was not worried about him falling behind in any courses, so the teacher readily approved the fake grades.
It was during a break between classes. Shao Yun packed his schoolbag and said to Xiang Chu, "I'll be gone for three or four days. You study hard, and I'll check on you when I get back."
"Oh," Xiang Chu replied, but couldn't help asking, "Where are you going to play?"
"Messuri".
Upon hearing this place, Xiang Chu couldn't help but open his eyes wide. Wasn't that where his great-grandparents lived after they retired?
Could it be that Shao Yun went with Yu Yan this time?
"I'm leaving." Shao Yun slung her backpack over her shoulder, said goodbye to her close classmates, and walked out of the classroom.
A moment later, Xiang Chu also ran out.
The student in front of him shouted, "The bell is about to ring, Xiang Chu, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the restroom."
Xiang Chu went out, but ran in the opposite direction from the toilet. When he got to the stairwell and stood behind the railing, he saw Shao Muyan holding Shao Yun's hand as they left the school gate.
There was a figure at the school gate, and he recognized her from afar – it was Yu Yan.
Xiang Chuxin sank, hugged the railing, and pouted.
Why did you only take Shao Yun out to play and not think of taking him along?
Does she really not want him anymore?
You'd rather be Shao Yun's aunt than his mother, is that right?

On the way there, Shao Muyan drove while Yu Yan sat in the passenger seat, helping to keep track of the navigation.
Shao Yun sat in the back, chatting with them from time to time, giving the impression of a family of three on a trip.
"Has Yunyun been to Mesopotamia?" Yu Yan asked Shao Yun.
Shao Yun nodded. "My uncle took me there once before. It was very beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers, like a paradise on earth."
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow. "You even know about Shangri-La."
With a "don't underestimate me" expression, Shao Yun began reciting "The Peach Blossom Spring": "During the Taiyuan era of the Jin Dynasty, a fisherman from Wuling made his living by fishing. He followed a stream, forgetting how far he had gone. Suddenly, he came upon a peach grove, stretching for several hundred paces along both banks. There were no other trees, only fragrant grasses and fallen petals..."
Soon Yu Yan joined him in reciting, and the sound of their reading filled the carriage. Shao Muyan listened and laughed.
Halfway through the journey, Shao Yun fell asleep.
Children tend to get sleepy in cars, so Shao Muyan put Shao Yun in a car seat. The seatbelt was fastened securely, and he slept soundly.
"If you're sleepy, take a nap too," Shao Muyan said to Yu Yan. "Just recline the chair."
"I'm not sleepy yet."
Yu Yan leaned back in her chair and smiled, "Actually, I'm a little excited."
Shao Muyan turned to look at Yu Yan. She had lost a lot of weight recently, and her already thin face had become even smaller, making her eyes appear larger. When a certain spot in her eyes lit up, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Shao Muyan couldn't suppress his feelings of attraction.
“I can see that,” he said. “Staying in the lab all the time, busy with work and writing papers, it’s good to occasionally go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery. It’s a good way to relax and rejuvenate.”
Yu Yan nodded, she wholeheartedly agreed.
Suddenly, a phone call came in. The two of them looked at it at the same time and saw that it was Hua Zhidao calling.
“It’s okay, I’ll keep an eye on the navigation, you can answer it,” Yu Yan said.
Shao Muyan immediately turned on speakerphone.
Hua Zhidao never wastes words; he always gets straight to the point: "Those river bandits have been caught."
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan both raised their eyes.
Hua Zhidao said that it was Xiang Jingheng who helped the police catch the gang of river pirates this time. He originally didn't intend to let them go, after all, the gang of river pirates had thrown away his son Xiang Chu and extorted five million from him. Xiang Jingheng paid the ransom to lure them out, and then sent people to follow them. Only after they lowered their guard were they caught, and the whole gang was arrested.
"Xiang Jingheng also issued a statement using Xiangshi Technology's official account, explaining the ins and outs of the matter and stating that the incident of falling into the water on the cruise ship that day had nothing to do with Yu Yan and was all the work of Gan Xiaoxing. He has released witness testimonies and physical evidence, so it seems that he is really planning to break ties with Gan Xiaoxing this time and fight to the death."
Yu Yan was genuinely surprised. She wasn't even surprised when Xiang Jingheng paid five million yuan in ransom to Gan Xiaoxing. As long as Gan Xiaoxing hadn't harmed him, Yu Yan felt that Xiang Jingheng wouldn't care much.
What's wrong with him this time? He suddenly changed his attitude. Did Gan Xiaoxing do something to offend him?
Shao Muyan lowered his eyes and asked, "What about Gan Xiaoxing?"
"Gan Xiaoxing has been arrested by the police. After all, she hired someone to commit assault. Xiang Jingheng and Mei Nan have filed a lawsuit against her. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve peacefully."
Hua Zhidao said in a deep voice, "Let's see how things develop afterward."
The statement released by Xiang Jingheng was a bombshell, immediately trending on social media and sparking widespread discussion.
Mrs. Gan watched helplessly as her daughter was taken away from the hospital by the police, unable to stop them. Enraged, she stormed into the Xiang family home, shouting and yelling, and even cursed Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Jinglan into the house.
"Is Xiang Jingheng trying to burn bridges? Does that mean he slept with my daughter for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, Chairman Xiang flew into a rage, glaring at Xiang Jingheng, who had remained silent until now. "Is what she said true? Gan Xiaoxing is so filthy, how could you bring yourself to eat her? Are you starving?"
