Xu y took a seat beside Dr. Zhu Chen and Ye Jie sat on her other side. He was intently looking at the sparkles in her eyes and that adorable pout.
"Let bring your Stead Buns," He Jian’s mother spoke and headed to the kitchen.
"Oh, I just rembered," Xu y lightly tapped her forehead at her forgetful nature. "Uncle Chen, this is my husband, Ye Jie."
Ye Jie nodded with a smile to greet him- he wasn’t really paying attention to other people except for Xu y- while Dr. Zhu Chen kept staring at his face. He nodded as well in a daze. Then he smiled warmly and said, "I’ve heard a lot about you young man. Now, I know why she can’t stop talking about you."
Ye Jie looked at Xu y’s flushed face and said with a surprise, "Really? She doesn’t like talking to though."
"an husband." Xu y grumbled. Ye Jie smiled at her while Xu y made a face at him. "Nevermind. Ah Jie, you know Jian-Ge already and that beside him is Uncle Kun. You’ve t him at our wedding." Xu y said while pointing at He Jian and He Kun. "As for Uncle Chen," She turned to Dr. Zhu Chen. "He’s a doctor and also, he’s Jian-Ge’s uncle."
"Xiao y, aren’t you late for office?" He Jian asked with suspicion.
Xu y turned her head away from him and replied, "Not that I want to tell you but I’m taking a break today."
Ye Jie frowned to hear her answer. He moved closer to her and whispered, "Are you really?" She nodded. "Let inform Qi Guan that I’m not coming today." He was about to stand when Xu y held his hand.
"You don’t have to take a day off for ."
He patted her hand on his own and said, "I want to spend ti with my wife. Who’s going to stop ? Even my wife herself can’t stop ." Smiling, he excused himself for a minute.
Dr. Zhu Chen was looking at Ye Jie’s back when Xu y’s voice made him shift his glance to her. "Uncle Chen, when are you going to remove my stitches?"
"Let’s do it after breakfast. But you’ll still need to take so care."
"Okay... But don’t say that in front of Ah Jie, he already didn’t let walk for the past 4 days. If you’ll say I need more rest then I’m afraid, he’ll tie up to the bed." She sighed making everyone chuckle.
"Looks like this kid needs to be praised." He Jian’s father said making Xu y scowl. "Lose the scowl now. Uncle is just worried about you. You know how much Uncle loves you and you still go around getting hurt for no reason."
"Well... I can lose the scowl if Uncle Kun will gift his favorite gun." Xu y made her offer.
"I can give you the gun but Xiao y, you don’t even know how to use it." He comnted.
"Jian-Ge will teach . Right?" She looked at He Jian while blinking eagerly.
He Jian closed his eyes briefly as if it was really getting difficult to look at her. He sighed in defeat and said, "Fine... I’ll teach you." Xu y smiled in victory.
At this ti, He Jian’s mother and his aunt brought breakfast to the table. Xu y didn’t look at anyone other than the basket of Stead Buns shaped as cute birds. She was drooling.
Xu y’s focus shifted to Dr. Alice when she heard her voice. "Chen, don’t you dare touch anything other than Congee."
Dr. Zhu Chen’s face turned sad as he looked at the imposing woman beside him. "Su darling, let eat just one Stead Bun. Please!"
"No ans no. Now, just eat your Congee." She said sternly and her eyes caught Xu y’s black orbs looking at her with curiosity. A crease appeared between her brows as she looked at Xu y.
Noticing her gaze, He Jian said, "Auntie Su, that’s my best friend, Xu y."
Dr. Alice’ eyes widened and she smiled widely as she stepped closer to Xu y. "So, you’re the Xiao y who has chard my husband."
"Huh?" Xu y frowned with confusion.
"From the ti I ca back, he can’t seem to stop talking about you. If it’s not charming him then what is?" She was asking Xu y who scratched the back of her head awkwardly.
"Su darling, don’t intimidate my Xiao y. She’s such a fine young lady." Dr. Zhu Chen spoke up for her making Xu y feel warm. "Xiao y, this is my wife, He Susu but people know her as Alice. So, you can call her Alice if you want." Xu y nodded.
This scene was encountered by Ye Jie when he turned after finishing up his call. He ca closer and said, "Dr. Alice?"
Dr. Alice looked behind Xu y and saw Ye Jie’s familiar face surprising her. "Oh my, Chen! Look! That’s the young man I told you about. The one I t on the plane."
Dr. Zhu Chen gave another look to Ye Jie with a sadness in his eyes and replied, "I’ve t him, Su darling."
"You have?" She raised her brows.
He nodded and said, "He’s Xiao y’s husband."
"Ohhh!" Dr. Alice managed to say.
"It surely is a small world." Xu y comnted, getting everyone’s attention. When she felt all the gazes at herself, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I an to say that when I t Uncle Chen, I didn’t know that he was Jian-Ge’s Uncle. And, Uncle Chen’s wife t Ah Jie in the plane and now, they are seeing each other here. Isn’t it a really small world?"
Everyone nodded in agreent. "I don’t know about before but now I definitely believe that this... This is not just a coincidence. It surely is a ga of fate. Either it’s a cruel one or a pleasant one, only ti can reveal.’ Xu y thought to herself.
When the maid was about to serve the wanton and dumplings to Ye Jie’s bowl, Xu y instantly reacted, "No, don’t! Ah Jie don’t like mushrooms."
Dr. Zhu Chen, his wife, and He Jian’s mother all looked at Xu y with surprise. "Go and bring the bowl without mushrooms." He Jian’s mother said to the maid.
"There is no worry, Auntie. I’ll eat sothing else. It’ll be a bother to you." Ye Jie said politely.
She shook her head. "It’s nothing botherso at all. My brother doesn’t like mushrooms as well. So, I already made extra without mushrooms. Don’t feel burdened about it."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Ye Jie replied.
The breakfast table had a weird atmosphere. Xu y was looking at her left and right side to see the similarities between Dr. Zhu Chen and Ye Jie; both had the sa way of sitting, talking, and even eating. Xu y felt sweat forming on her forehead thinking about the possibilities. There were a lot of possibilities and there was no real answer. And Xu y hated it when she didn’t hold the answers.
anwhile, Dr. Alice and Zhu Qinyang, He Jian’s mother were also sneaking glances at Ye Jie. He Jian had seen the way everyone was acting and couldn’t help but feel suspicious especially about the way Xu y was acting.
