Chapter 206 Auntie, Give Me Some Time
Shao Min's shouts outside the ward successfully woke up Shao Yun, who was a light sleeper.
Shao Yun blinked, opened his eyes, and saw Yu Yan covering him with a blanket.
"..." I wanted to close my eyes, but it was too late.
All he could do was stare at Yu Yan like that.
"Were you woken up?" Yu Yan asked him softly, "Do you want some water?"
Shao Yun slowly shook his head.
Xiang Chu was still fast asleep with her little mouth open, completely undisturbed.
Yu Yan reached out and pulled Xiang Chu's hand, which was outside the covers, under the covers. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shao Yun, who was silent.
"Yunyun, don't you like me anymore?"
When Yu Yan asked this question, there was a slight smile on her lips, but her tense expression still betrayed her nervousness.
Shao Yun turned his gaze to Yu Yan's face.
My aunt is still so gentle and beautiful.
There was a time when he wished his aunt were his biological mother.
He knew he was lucky to have a mother like Shao Min, but he had to admit he envied Xiang Chu for having a mother like Yu Yan who loved him.
Now fate has taken a dramatic turn; suddenly, he has become Yu Yan's biological son...
Shao Yun suddenly felt guilty.
It's like he stole Xiang Chu's mother... Could it be that God really granted his wish?
Shao Yun felt that he was being greedy.
But now, he sensed his aunt's sadness, and he felt sad along with her.
"There's no such thing as disliking it."
Shao Yun's throat tightened, and he gripped the sheets under the covers. "I like Auntie."
Yu Yan understood what he meant.
I like my aunt, but I don't like my aunt who has become my mother.
Yu Yan instantly felt less sad because she knew that Yunyun liked her; he just wasn't ready to accept a mother who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
That's all.
"Your auntie likes you too."
Yu Yan touched Shao Yun's face, leaned down and gently kissed his forehead, and said tenderly, "Yunyun, I just want to tell you that if you don't want to change, then nothing will change. Shao Min is still your mother, and your uncle and I will always be your closest people. We all love you."
"What happened back then wasn't our intention. We don't ask for your forgiveness, we just hope you understand that if we had known earlier, we would have come to find you immediately. You are our dearest, how could we possibly abandon you?"
A single, glistening tear fell onto Shao Yun's face.
Shao Yun tensed up, and Yu Yan gently reached out to wipe it away for him.
He believed every word his aunt said, but he still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
In the end, I couldn't bear to see her sad.
After Yu Yan covered Shao Yun with the blanket, she got up to leave. Shao Yun spoke softly to her, "Auntie, give me some time to think things through."
These words brought a pang of sadness to Yu Yan's heart, and two lines of tears streamed down her face.
She nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Okay."
—
In the evening, I returned home.
As soon as Shao Muyan entered the house, Yu Yan pinned him against the wall, gave him a frenzied kiss, and then threw him onto the sofa.
Shao Muyan could sense that Yu Yan wanted to vent.
In the past, they might have run on the playground at times like this to relieve some of their physical restlessness and agitation.
Now it has changed to a different kind of "sports".
It turns out that Shao Muyan's physical strength is still better than Yu Yan's, especially after taking the pills prescribed by Su Rui some time ago, his body has become much "stronger".
The whole operation was as fierce as a tiger, but it ended with Yu Yan collapsing into Shao Muyan's arms, too lazy to even move a finger.
On the soft, large bed, Yu Yan leaned against Shao Muyan's strong chest and, rather weakly, told him what Shao Yun had said to her in the hospital room.
Shao Muyan paused for a moment, then slowly uttered an "Oh".
He wondered what had gotten into his dear girlfriend that almost made her want to tear him apart... It turned out it was because of their son.
Shao Muyan turned over, laid Yu Yan flat on the bed, and tapped her red nose.
"Don't spoil him too much."
Shao Muyan adopted a strict fatherly stance, saying, "He can't understand, are we not his parents anymore? Calling us uncle and aunt is fine, but we still have to acknowledge them."
Yu Yan glanced at him and said, "Don't give me that. It's not like it's time for you to tell me to take my time and give the child some time and space."
"..." The boomerang that was shot out pierced back into itself.
Shao Muyan chuckled dryly, "I was just trying to comfort you because I was worried you'd be upset. But honestly, Yan Yan, Yun Yun is pitiful, but aren't we pitiful too?"
He took Yu Yan's hand, kissed the back of it, placed it on his chest, and leaned against the pillow with her.
"We, like our son, are pitiful people who have been played by fate."
Shao Muyan said, "You don't need to feel sorry for Yunyun. We are also victims. Don't put too much moral burden on yourself. The more guilty you feel, the more Shaoyun will think, and he will wonder if we really want to abandon him. We did nothing wrong, so we should be assertive. It doesn't matter whether our son acknowledges us or not. Anyway, we are his parents. As long as we love him, that's enough."
Yu Yan was both amused and exasperated by what he said, "What kind of robber logic is this?"
“Yunyun is different from Xiangchu. Xiangchu is sensitive, but most of the time she is carefree and easygoing. Shaoyun, on the other hand, is very thoughtful. In terms of personality, she is actually quite similar to both of us.”
Yu Yan was speechless; it was true.
Shao Yun inherited many traits from her and Shao Muyan, especially after learning the truth, Yu Yan found Shao Yun to be more and more like herself.
"We should just treat Yunyun like we did when we were little. He understands everything, we just need to give him some time."
Shao Muyan held Yu Yan close, his deep voice whispering in her ear:
"On the other hand, there are many pitiful people in this world. How can we and our son be considered truly pitiful? No matter how fate plays tricks on us or how bad people cause trouble, Yunyun has come back to my side after going around in circles. I have also found you. I have resented and hated, but I am still grateful to God for sending you back to my side."
After saying this, Yu Yan met Shao Muyan's crystal-clear eyes, which were like a vast ocean, with gentle currents enveloping her.
What he said was exactly what she was thinking.
Moonlight streamed in.
The two lay on their sides on the bed, their bodies pressed tightly together like conjoined twins, wrists touching wrists, sleeping peacefully.
The world outside has quietly changed.
Xiang Jingheng received the devastating news of Aunt Mei's passing too late; he saw it on the news.
He was tortured and murdered; his death was gruesome and unbearable to witness.
Xiang Jingheng rushed to the hospital overnight. On the way there, his heart was pounding. He didn't know how Mei Nan would react to the news of her mother's death, nor did he know how to tell her.
To my surprise, the hospital room was empty when I arrived.
Mei Nan has disappeared.
The processed documents and contracts were neatly arranged on the desk, with a resignation letter on top.
Mei Nan, who was always meticulous in her actions, didn't even leave him a note.
Xiang Jingheng crumpled the resignation letter.
