Chapter 179 Yunzai hopes he was born to his aunt.
Back home, Shao Yun took Xiang Chu to wash her face.
Yu Yan wrapped an ice pack in a towel and let Xiang Chu apply it to her eyes. Xiang Chu took it and obediently said, "Thank you, Mom."
Suddenly, I felt like crying again.
"Stop crying."
Shao Yun would coax him patiently at school, but once he got home, he turned into a grumpy older brother. "Your eyes aren't big to begin with, and if you cry any more, they'll be swollen like a line by tomorrow morning."
Xiang Chu: "..."
How can this involve personal attacks?
He blinked and looked at Shao Yun's round, bright eyes, which were large and clearly defined.
Then look at Yu Yan's eyes, they have the same big, round eyes.
They all have double eyelids, but he has single eyelids... No wonder people say his eyes are small.
"Hmph." Xiang Chu rolled onto the sofa and turned her butt towards her brother.
They had just arrived home when Shao Muyan returned, carrying a lot of things.
"Still throwing a tantrum?"
Shao Muyan changed his shoes, and Yu Yan stepped forward to take the things from his hands. She said to Shao Yun, "Yunyun, take Xiang Chu upstairs to lie down for a while. We'll call you when the food is ready."
"Okay." Shao Yun nodded, stepped forward and patted Chu's butt: "Let's go upstairs."
Xiang Chu reluctantly sat up, called out "Uncle Shao," and stood up, saying, "Can I stay here for the next few days?"
"sure."
Shao Muyan looked at Yu Yan and said, "If your mother agrees, then I have no problem."
Xiang Chu immediately felt relieved, took Shao Yun's hand, and followed him upstairs happily.
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan carried the things into the kitchen together.
Shao Muyan said, "I'll take care of it. You go upstairs and keep the child company, and comfort Xiang Chu."
"Coax?" Yu Yan shook her head: "Do I look like someone who knows how to coax people?"
In this respect, she is not as good as Shao Yun.
Shao Muyan looked at her and smiled gently: "Of course you can, you can always coax me successfully."
The two stood close, arms touching, and Yu Yan looked up at him, "I even coaxed you?"
"Yes, I've coaxed her."
Shao Muyan nodded seriously: "If you hadn't coaxed me, would I have come back?"
Yu Yan paused for a second, then suddenly remembered the day they went for a morning run in Meisuli. She had lost her breath while running, and Shao Muyan had to carry her back.
He recalled the scene of her leaning on his shoulder, begging him to move back in and live with her.
Her face flushed involuntarily.
"You call this coaxing?" Yu Yan glanced at Shao Muyan, her cheeks flushed. "Then you're too easy to coax."
Her gaze, filled with both shyness and reproach, left Shao Muyan speechless.
He had known Yu Yan for so long, and he had never seen such an expression on her face before. He felt a surge of heat not only rushing into his heart but also down to his abdomen.
Yu Yan was close to Shao Muyan and could clearly feel that his breathing had changed. She inadvertently lowered her head and saw the change in his body.
"..."
Did she provoke him?
The kitchen was so hot it almost made you faint.
Shao Muyan hurriedly turned around, carrying a pork chop in his left hand and a fish in his right, unsure which to deal with first.
Actually, what he wants to deal with more right now is himself.
Yu Yan was also a little flustered. She was picking vegetables, and after picking for a while, she realized that she had thrown all the good ones into the trash bag, but the bad roots and leaves into the pot.
...Everything is in complete chaos.
People tend to be very busy when they feel awkward or at a loss.
If it weren't for the children at home, we would have kissed right now, since our Third Master is now a person with a proper status.
They are all mature adults who know their limits.
What needs to be restrained, must still be restrained.
—
Xiang Chu ate quite a bit for dinner, and Shao Yun thought he was in a better mood.
I didn't expect to feel emo again before going to sleep.
"Brother," Xiang Chu turned to Shao Yun and asked, "What do you think I should do if my godmother really gives birth to a little brother or sister?"
Shao Yun turned her head slightly and asked him, "When you weren't close to your aunt but were close to your godmother, didn't you ever think about this?"
A single arrow pierces the heart.
Xiang Chu lowered her eyes, "Actually, I've always been afraid of this. I'm afraid that if my godmother marries my dad, she won't treat me well, and I'm also afraid that if she and my dad have a child, their child will try to take my dad away from me..."
"So, you've been trying to please Gan Xiaoxing all along?" Shao Yun pointed out the crux of the matter.
He nodded to Chu.
"I only realize now that this is wrong. If my godmother doesn't genuinely like me and is willing to treat me well, no matter how much I try to please her, it won't work."
Shao Yun hummed in agreement.
Xiang Chu scooted forward, grabbed Shao Yun's arm, and asked again, "Brother, what am I going to do?"
"There's nothing we can do." Shao Yun was annoyed by his questioning, and her voice sounded a bit stern, but she still tried her best to be patient and said, "This has nothing to do with you. We can't interfere in adults' affairs. Just mind your own business."
Xiang Chu raised her eyes and looked at Shao Yun in the dim light.
"Why aren't you my biological brother?"
Shao Yun answered him without a trace of emotion: "Because we weren't born from the same mother's womb."
Xiang Chu was speechless.
After a while, Shao Yun suddenly said, "Actually, I also really wish I was born to my aunt."
Xiang Chu's eyes widened suddenly, and she blinked.
"Really? Then you should just call my mom 'Mom' too."
Strangely enough, he didn't want to share his father's love with other children, but he didn't mind sharing his mother's love with his older brother at all.
"No need, I have my mother."
Shao Yun said, "It's just a form of address, nothing to worry about. It's enough to know in your heart who you're close to."
However, he recently felt that his mother was acting a little strange.
When Shao Min talks to him now, she always says strange things and asks strange questions...
"If your biological mother appeared one day, and we both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
Or maybe...
"If one day your biological father appears and tries to take you away from me, who will you choose?"
Shao Yun was also helpless about this.
But every time, he would firmly tell Shao Min, "You are my only mother, I only recognize you."
Shao Min would nod in satisfaction and give him a quick kiss on the head.
"He truly is my son!"

Mei Nan pushed open the door to the president's office, and a strong smell of smoke hit her, which was very pungent.
She frowned and looked out the window.
Xiang Jingheng sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a white shirt, with one arm draped over the armrest and a cigarette between his fingers. His profile was lonely and desolate.
This version of him is completely different from the charismatic and witty President Xiang he is at the negotiating table during the day.
The Gan family is actively seeking bail for Gan Xiaoxing and is constantly putting pressure on the Xiang family.
As soon as the Xiang family gives the go-ahead, the person will come out immediately.
She's pregnant, and even if Xiang Jingheng doesn't give in, it's only a matter of time before she comes out.
Gan Xiaoxing is undoubtedly a huge trouble in Xiang Jingheng's life, like a stubborn plaster that he can't shake off once it's stuck to him.
Mei Nan walked step by step to Xiang Jingheng, squatted down in front of him, took the cigarette from his fingers, and put it to her lips to take a puff. Xiang Jingheng watched her actions without moving.
"Young master, don't worry."
Mei Nan skillfully exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Xiang Jingheng and smiled gently, "I'll take care of Gan Xiaoxing's troubles."
Xiang Jingheng narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a deep gaze.
