Both Grandpa Zhai and Grandma Zhai went quiet when they heard that as it suddenly clicked to them that when they t Yue Yue in disguise back then, they did et her son. That bright and lively young man nad, Hyson!
And when they first t him, they both were surprised by how similar he looked to Zhai Yanjun's younger version. But now that they thought about it again...
"Brother Xiang, that Hyson is Yue Yue's son, right?" asked Grandma Zhai.
"Yes," replied Grandfather Xiang. "His na is Yue Fai."
"Yes, yes. That's the na. I rember," said Grandma Zhai. "It's difficult to forget that young man. He has a sparkling personality. You can never forget him after seeing him once."
"Indeed," Grandfather Xiang's face softened when he spoke about Hyson. "Our family's little prince is that dazzling. He always leaves his mark wherever he goes. He always has a way to charm people. If it wasn't for that talent, he wouldn't have beco best friends with our Raelle."
It was too obvious to see how much Grandfather Xiang loved and valued Hyson. Just the way he was called the little prince was enough to show his status in the family. It really surprised Grandma Zhai.
"Old Xiang, about Yue Fai's..."
"We won't talk about that," stopped Grandfather Xiang before his best friend could continue. "It's not important. What's important is that he is my family's child. He is the youngest grandson. Although he is the youngest, he is all about doing big things. Lately, he's been looking for a match for his Weimin Ge."
Since Grandfather Xiang didn't let him talk about it, Grandpa Zhai dropped the topic as well.
"I haven't seen that boy in a long while," said Grandpa Zhai. "I'll have to go to your place for a al soon to see him. He always brings a smile to my face."
"You'd be disappointed," said Grandfather Xiang. "This week he is traveling to another province for work. He won't be back for a month or so. I feel like my whole ho just darkened in his absence."
"That's a sha. But it's okay. We live in the sa city. I'll get to see him. Since he is Yue's son, he can also be considered my own grandson. I have to wait for him."
Grandfather Xiang pressed his lips together and ntally thought about how true his best friend's words were.
anwhile, Elder Yue and Madam Yue just sat there awkwardly in silence without any chance to speak. First, they didn't know what to say. Second, no one would allow them to join their conversation. It was like Grandfather Xiang was reminding them how anything regarding Yue Yue had nothing to do with them at all.
It pained Elder Yue but he couldn't do anything about this at all.
Once he heard that his daughter had a son, his eyes had a light but it soon dawned on him that he couldn't do anything. Whether he had another grandson or not didn't really matter. When his daughter no more belonged to his family, how could he rightfully go over to see his grandson?
But after all these depressing thoughts, Elder Yue ca to a serious question. Who was the father of Yue's son? He didn't hear anything about that. How old was Yue's son? If the suspicion in his heart was true that ant, the son was... he looked over at the Old Zhai couple and sighed ntally.
It really didn't matter, he reminded himself and purposely chose to not even ntion anything about this right now.
....
On the other hand, once again Mu Chenyan had to drag her best friend out saying, "Elder Xiang ordered so dresses for us."
'Why?'
"You and I are going on a date again," replied Mu Chenyan. "We need to go on more dates. You know, it helps in cultivating our relationship."
Yue gave her an ugly look, 'Stop this nonsense!'
"My Fai isn't around," said Mu Chenyan. "Soone in the family has to take his place in spitting nonsense everywhere. No one else can do it better than ."
'Of course, no one else can. Since he learned it from you.'
Mu Chenyan grinned, "I know I'm a good teacher. No need to say it."
Yue Yue rolled her eyes at her shalessness.
When they ca out, they found the dresses that were delivered for both of them. Mu Chenyan looked through Yue Yue's pile of dresses and picked one in cream color that looked elegant and sophisticated. With that golden linings in it, it gave a regal feel.
"You wear this," said Mu Chenyan. "It suits your temperant."
'For a date, this is too over the top.'
Mu Chenyan pushed the dress in her hands saying, "When I say do sothing, you should just listen. What's the point in arguing when I'm gonna win the argunt by hook or by crook anyway? It's just wasting your and my ti. So, let's save ti."
Yue Yue wanted to say sothing but she held herself back and went to get dressed. It was really no point in arguing with Mu Chenyan. As she said, she was gonna win anyway. If she didn't listen, Mu Chenyan will get physical and might even go as far as putting that dress on Yue Yue with her own hands.
So, she was willing to choose the safe route out of this by getting dressed on her.
No matter what, it was embarrassing to have soone dress you up like a kid at this age. But the shaless Mu Chenyan didn't think so.
Mu Chenyan was satisfied with Yue Yue's reaction and then she looked through the dresses she got. She chuckled to herself, "My adorable Elder Xiang really knows what kind of clothes I like."
She picked up a pant suit that gave her a boss lady feels and took it with her to get dressed. If she was gonna walk down that red carpet at the charity auction with a beauty in her arms, she had to look like a Queen herself!
