Chapter 183 Unless You Remarry Me
Upon closer reflection, Yu Yan and Shao Yun do indeed have many similarities.
Could they be a chosen one, mother and child?
Yu Yan thought to herself happily.
When Xiang Chu was brought back by Shao Yun, she was a little embarrassed and stood in front of Yu Yan, softly calling out "Mom".
Yu Yan reached out and pulled him into her arms, touching his wet hair.
Shao Muyan patted Shao Yun's head and told him to get into bed, "It's chilly at night, don't catch a cold."
The bed was two meters wide, and four people got on it. Some were lying down, some were curled up, and some were sitting. They looked quite like a family of four.
A little while later, Xiang Chu also crawled into bed, his little fists pressed against his chin, and began to recount his inner journey in a low voice.
“I just don’t want younger siblings, but I never thought of asking my dad to kill the baby in my godmother’s belly.”
He choked back tears, "Actually, I've already accepted this fact. Because I know that Dad won't just be my dad. In the future, he will definitely marry someone else and have children with someone else."
"I'll have other younger siblings sooner or later, and that's not something I can control whether I want to or not. My brother is right, I can't control adult matters at all; I can only take care of myself."
Xiang Chu held a tissue in her hand and wiped away the tears on her face.
He didn't want to cry anymore.
He wants to grow up like his brother, to be a real man who sheds blood and sweat but not tears!
Yu Yan felt extremely upset as she listened to Xiang Chu's words.
She then realized that Xiang Chu had never felt secure and was afraid of being abandoned or ignored.
She thought she needed to talk to Xiang Jingheng about this.
The following Saturday.
Shao Yun took Xiang Chu to the tutoring class, Yu Yan made an appointment with Xiang Jingheng, and Shao Muyan went to the orphanage again.
Everyone has their own things to do.
Xiang Jingheng was somewhat flattered when he received Yu Yan's call.
He called a halt to the meeting, letting Mei Nan lead the managers to continue, while he answered Yu Yan's call under everyone's watchful eyes, as if afraid she would hang up.
"Yu Yan."
His extremely gentle and magnetic voice made everyone feel like they were hallucinating.
Was that shout from General Manager Xiang?
Mei Nan gripped the pen tightly in her hand, and no one noticed that the pen cap was almost flattened by her squeezing it, nor did anyone notice the sinister aura that was faintly revealed in her eyes.
They thought they didn't care.
But when it really comes to this, you realize it's impossible not to care.
After all, a person's heart is only so big.
However, Mei Nan quickly regained her composure, clapping her hands to bring everyone back to their senses.
"Mr. Xiang has some urgent business to attend to, let's continue..."
Around noon, Xiang Jingheng went out for a while.
Seeing Jin Fan cancel the dinner, Mei Nan stood quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window with her coffee in hand. This was the second time today that she had seen Xiang Jingheng abandon his principles.
He was such a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, and always kept his promises, yet he disregarded everything for Yu Yan.
"I've been with President Xiang for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen him like this."
Jin Fan walked up to Mei Nan at some point and said meaningfully, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, but unfortunately, the person opposite him is Yu Yan."
Mei Nan's eyes flashed slightly.
Whether it's Yu Yan or Gan Xiaoxing, it's all the same to her.
No matter how deeply they were etched into Xiang Jingheng's heart, they were nothing more than passersby in his life. If the young master was a ship, then she would always be his safe haven.
All she needs to do is make sure the young master can't live without her, and then she'll have the last laugh.
She's always been good at being patient and waiting, hasn't she?
—
Yu Yan arranged to meet Jing Heng at a tea restaurant, but not the Cantonese style; it was a traditional Chinese tea and snack shop.
We booked a private room, which offered a relatively private environment.
"I don't know how long it's been since we had a date like this."
Xiang Jingheng seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. He even tidied his hair before coming and looked radiant.
Yu Yan didn't respond to his "date" suggestion, but instead picked up her phone and sent Shao Muyan a voice message.
"He's here, let's get ready to eat."
Xiang Jingheng glanced at his phone screen and saw not only the contact name "Yan" but also her pinned post. His face darkened instantly.
My good mood suddenly plummeted!
Are they that close?
He clenched his fists, and when Yu Yan put down her phone, Xiang Jingheng's face was already clouded with anger. "You're keeping a close eye on things. You've never been like this when we were together."
Yu Yan sensed his sarcasm and only glanced at him indifferently.
"There's a reciprocal need for couples to keep each other informed. When we got married, did you tell me even once when you went out on a date with Gan Xiaoxing?"
—What right do you have to demand things of her if you can't even do them yourself?
Xiang Jingheng frowned. He didn't want to bring up past grievances with Yu Yan, and he didn't want to mention Gan Xiaoxing either.
I took a sip of tea to ease the frustration in my heart.
"Why did you ask me out?"
Xiang Jingheng tried his best to calm himself down. It was rare for Yu Yan to take the initiative to ask him out, and he didn't want to end things on bad terms again.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yan decided to put the purpose first.
"I've asked you out today to discuss the issue of Xiang Chu's custody with you again."
Xiang Jingheng's expression suddenly changed.
"Are you trying to take my son away from me?"
He had never thought about this before, and Yu Yan had never mentioned it to him.
Yu Yan anticipated his reaction, which is why she made it clear beforehand, "I'm not trying to take it from you, I just want to discuss with you some issues related to children's education and growth environment."
Xiang Jingheng had a gloomy face. If it weren't Yu Yan sitting opposite him, he would have already lost his temper.
But right now, he can't bear to turn against them.
"Xiao Chu had a nightmare last night and woke up in the middle of the night because she learned that Gan Xiaoxing had miscarried."
Yu Yan's words caused Xiang Jingheng's expression to change several shades.
She told Xiang Jingheng everything Xiang Chu had said. When she said, "I know that Dad can't just be my dad. Sooner or later he will be someone else's dad," Xiang Jingheng's nose tingled and he lowered his eyes.
He knew that Gan Xiaoxing's pregnancy was also a significant blow to Xiang Chu.
He raised his son, and he knew how sensitive and insecure Xiang Chu was.
Xiang Jingheng looked up at Yu Yan and said, "I don't care whether you believe me or not, this has never been what I wanted from the beginning, and I had no choice."
He paused, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he tentatively said, "If you want to raise Xiao Chu with me, that's fine."
Xiang Jingheng said, "Unless you remarry me."
Yu Yan didn't even think about it.
"You know that's impossible."
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Xiang Jingheng shrugged, his attitude firm. "I can't be Xiao Chu's only father, so are you his only mother?"
Leaving behind this sarcastic remark, Xiang Jingheng picked up his car keys and prepared to leave.
Yu Yan quietly said, "Xiang Jingheng, do you really want to raise Xiang Chu to be a second you?"
His steps suddenly stopped.
