Mu Chenyan not only took them rock climbing, she even went to watch the horse race. She was acting like the cool aunt who wants to have fun. But Yue Yue was getting a headache from her act. For now, she could see that Mu Chenyan was hiding her fangs but for how long?
The Mu Chenyan who would rather go to a real wilderness to experience real rock climbing, was actually taking her niece and nephew to play in a rock climbing club? It was a sight too spicy for her. As for horse racing? When had Mu Chenyan co only to watch the race? She'd rather be a part of the race than be a spectator.
'You aren't gonna get on the track today?'
Mu Chenyan took a sip of the water sitting in the VIP box and answered in a low voice, "I'm trying to act like a good aunt. Can't you tell? What if I took things too far?"
Even though they were just doing things at a safe level, it had to be said that Mu Chenyan was indeed a fun person to be around. Both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai had an aweso ti with her. They had lunch outside, they did very silly things as well but it was all enjoyable.
In the evening, she even took them out drinking with her. The reason?
"I always wanted to go out drinking with both of you," said Mu Chenyan. "If it weren't for..." She stopped herself from continuing and only added, "I thought I'd be the one to take you both out for your very first drink. It's late but I don't mind making up for it."
"Aunt, did you teach Raelle how to drink?" asked Xiang Wai.
Mu Chenyan tsked at that, "No, I did not. She waited for six months after her eighteenth birthday and on Hyson's 18th birthday, she took him out for a drink. But I can assure you, drinking with Elle is no fun. If anything, it can be tiring and embarrassing."
"Why? She doesn't get drunk?" asked Xiang Wai curiously.
Mu Chenyan shook her head, "Nope, she does. But you can't tell if she is drunk. Unless she is completely wasted!"
On the side, Yue Yue just sipped her cocktail slowly as she watched Mu Chenyan mixing drinks and getting drunk without any restraint. Wow, she really lost her reserved behavior in front of these two. It took her a while but she was finally showing her real self.
And here she thought her best friend would use this ti productively to bond with her niece and nephew. But what did her best friend do? Urgh! Even she was feeling infuriated right now. But seeing how these three seed to be having real fun, she couldn't say anything. Forget it, it's not like her idea of fun ever matched Mu Chenyan's.
As long as Mu Chenyan was able to get close to these siblings, it really didn't matter what thod she used. She was suddenly reminded of sothing Mu Chenyan once told her, "To get close to soone, go out drinking with that person." And it seed, she was applying her own words and it was actually working.
.....
Ti seed to be trickling away swiftly. Day by day, there was a new morning, a new sun, but whether it'd be the new you depended on yourself.
Today, Shui Xian was waiting inside his office for none other than his ex-best friend, Cui Xukun. Although he didn't know why this person wanted to see him, he still agreed to this eting just because of Cloe.
*Knock! Knock!*
After knocking on the door, Ma Jin opened the door with Cui Xukun standing beside him. "Master Xian, Mr. Cui is here."
"Okay," said Shui Xian as he stood up from his leather chair. "Have a seat," Shui Xian gestured towards the sitting area and also ca to join him.
Cui Xukun sat down on the sofa and faced Shui Xian.
"I heard you wanted to et ?" questioned Shui Xian.
"I did," answered Cui Xukun.
"So, what is it about?" asked Shui Xian.
"So straight to the point?" Cui Xukun raised a brow at Shui Xian, "Won't you even exchange so perfunctory pleasantries?"
"My wife just made realize how pointless it is to waste ti on pleasantries when you can use the sa ti doing sothing more productive," was Shui Xian's response. "So, what it is about?"
Cui Xukun opened his mouth to say sothing but suddenly stopped. He had been aning to talk about seeing Tang Hebe with him. And also the child he saw with her. However, now that he sat before Shui Xian, he suddenly felt like just how pointless that was.
Even if Tang Hebe was here, did it have anything to do with Shui Xian?
With the way Shui Xian talked about his wife, it was obvious that his ex-wife wasn't even on his mind. Then why was he here to talk about her? He suddenly found his own reasons to co here rather useless.
Neither Tang Hebe nor anything related to her had anything to do with Shui Xian. And when he chose to step away from both of them, he was ant to keep his distance from their relationship. So, now that their relationship was no more, why was he trying to get involved?
"Do you have sothing to say or not?" asked Shui Xian. "Or did you co to my office to admire my handso face?"
Cui Xukun gave Shui Xian a strange look, "When did you get so narcissist?"
"Well, my wife says I'm handso," was Shui Xian's response. "That's enough reason to boost my ego. Don't you think so?"
"Can you talk without bringing up your wife every other sentence?" asked Cui Xukun.
Shui Xian shook his head resolutely, "I don't think so. She is everywhere in my life. She is my other half. Why can't I bring her up whenever I want to?"
"Because I feel like you're showing off!"
"Bingo! That's exactly what I'm doing!"
