Although Xia Yehua was still stern, the meaning behind her words really touched Qiao Lian and allowed Shen Liangchuan to heave a sigh of relief.
Tears rolled down from Qiao Lian’s eyes as she plopped down by the side of Xia Yehua’s bed. “Aunty Xia…”
“Aunty Xia? Call me mom instead!”
Without any reservations, Qiao Lian immediately called, “Mom!”
As long as her relationship with Aunty Xia could remain the same, she would even be willing to address her as ‘Dad’.
Xia Yehua coldly humphed and said, “That’s better! But, I do have something to say.”
Her words caused Qiao Lian to widen her eyes, as her heart felt as if it was hanging by a string again.
When Xia Yehua saw Qiao Lian’s expression, she started laughing so badly in her heart. Yet, she kept her emotions in and spoke solemnly. “I just remembered that you said you have a weird mother-in-law?”
Qiao Lian immediately waved her hand in disagreement. “That is because I had failed to recognize a great person! I’ve been blind! Today, after I’ve seen my mother-in-law, I have realized that not only she is beautiful, her heart is also kind and she’s a super duper great person!”
Although Xia Yehua enjoyed receiving the praises, she tried to stop her lips from curving into a smile and said, “Humph! You must play temple run with me for ten times.”
Qiao Lian wiped her tears away from her reddish eyes as she spoke with a smile, “No problem, we can even play a hundred times.”
Xia Yehua patted her head and said, “Look at how muddled I am, we can actually play together for the rest of our lives.”
Qiao Lian was stupefied. The rest of their lives…
But she was going to divorce him after she gave birth to his child. How could they play for the rest of their lives?
However, she did not want to dampen Xia Yehua’s excitement at the moment, thus she smiled at her while nodding her head in agreement.
Even if she divorced Shen Liangchuan, she could still be friends with Aunt Xia.
Xia Yehua bossily pointed at the kitchen and ordered, “Go, pour me a cup a tea. I want my daughter-in-law to serve me tea.”
Qiao Lian immediately ran to the kitchen obediently.
Watching the view of her back, Xia Yehua was laughing.
Shen Liangchuan furrowed his brow and took a step forward. He couldn’t figure out why he felt jealous when he saw the two women hugging each other and forgetting about his presence.
Although he was the one who linked them together, they seemed to have forgotten about his presence.
He coughed. “I thought you didn’t like her?”
“Who said so? Let me tell you, there were so many people in the park, but she was the only person who caught my eye. This is the kind of affinity we have!” said Xia Yehua.
“You once said she was a materialistic woman who married me for money.”
“Hmpf, if your wife is Xiao Qiao, she must have her reasons. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to ask Xiao Qiao what reason made her to do so. If one person betrays her body for money, it means that the reason behind it must be very important. You are not allowed to bring it up and hurt her!”
Shen Liangchuan: …
“Aiyo, can you please leave, I get annoyed seeing you! Isn’t the company still busy now? Hurry up and go go go!”
Shen Liangchuan thought, “… So, I’m getting shooed out?”
At that moment, Shen Liangchuan was getting slightly angry. Qiao Lian rushed out of the kitchen, started talking to Xia Yehua and didn’t spare him a glance. As he was feeling unwelcomed, he then left gloomily.
A whole day past. After he got off from work, it was one of those rare times when Shen Liangchuan returned home.
However, the bedroom upstairs was still dark. He stopped in his tracks and confusedly asked, “Where’s Madam?”
The servant replied, “Madam is in villa 18.”
Shen Liangchuan’s face immediately became gloomy.
