Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me Chapter 267 : Yan Renzhong’s Illness (2)

"If you ntion this matter, I guess you are moving far, far away then?"

Song Xiaoling slowly nodded.

"Yes. Yaya can co to visit either of us anyti she wants, but unfortunately, she has to choose. She either lives with or with you."

Yan Renzhong sighed.

"Why so sudden?"

"I have to move on eventually," Song Xiaoling remarked. "The sooner, the better. I have no good mories in this city."

She used to. At least when she still imagined herself as Yan Renzhong’s partner, raising Song Yaya as her parents. But the dream proved to be nothing but a fragile bubble that burst as soon as it ca close to the sun.

Once the dream ended, Song Xiaoling ca to a painful realization. Yan Renzhong had already found soone with whom he would like to spend the rest of his life, but she had no one.

"I never like to pry into your business, so I never asked," Yan Renzhong spoke up. "Didn’t you tell that you were in a relationship with a man, who already proposed to you? Was it all a lie?"

It had already co to this point, so there was no point in keeping up another lie just to maintain face. Song Xiaoling nodded.

"When I said that, I was hoping that you would co to realize your feelings for . I was wrong. I didn’t expect you to fall for Shen Jingwei instead."

"I have always been in love with him," Yan Renzhong stated. "Even when we were separated."

"I wish I knew that sooner," Song Xiaoling murmured. She could have saved herself from a great deal of embarrassnt.

"I wish you happiness," Yan Renzhong said. "You are not a bad person, Xiaoling. You deserve a man, who will love you the way you love him."

"Yeah." Song Xiaoling nodded. "Then, what about Yaya?"

"Yaya has to choose," Yan Renzhong pointed out. "I will be more than happy to take her in if she chooses to stay with ."

"Likewise," Song Xiaoling agreed. "We will have to ask her."

"There is still a little ti before the enrollnt period begins. Let’s gather information about suitable elentary schools in this city and in your mother’s hotown."

"Sure. Let’s do that."

anwhile, in Yan Renzhong’s bedroom, Baobei excitedly ran around and knocked everything off his path.

"Baobei, don’t!!!"

Song Yaya practically ran around, trying to catch the agile puppy.

She caught him right after he pulled off a curtain from the wall, revealing a gigantic picture of Zhang Fengxi and a pregnant Xie Jianyu.

Song Yaya’s jaw fell open in amazent.

Shen Jingwei, the unfortunate soul, just had to step out of the bathroom at that ti.

"..."

Song Yaya slowly tore her gaze from the humongous frad photograph and locked eyes with Shen Jingwei.

"Uncle, are you pregnant?"

"...."

Yan Renzhong! Shen Jingwei howled in his head. This is all your fault!

"No, I am not," Shen Jingwei answered in a resigned tone. "Yaya, n cannot fall pregnant."

Song Yaya stabbed a finger in the photograph’s direction.

"But why is your belly so big???"

"..."

Sigh.

"I had a lot of worms in my belly."

Song Yaya’s eyes widened in shock.

"Worms???"

Shen Jingwei applauded himself for the years he spent rearing his little sister. When the mont was right, every little white lie can be spun into an educational mont.

"Whenever you play and touch sothing dirty, you might get worm eggs under your fingernails," Shen Jingwei said earnestly.

Like a person who was unable to tear her eyes from a traffic accident scene, Song Yaya listened to Shen Jingwei’s explanation with rapt attention.

"And if you do not wash your hands before every al, you might end up passing those worm eggs to your food."

"Ahhhh!!!" Song Yaya wailed from horror.

"And then, after you swallow them, those eggs will hatch in your stomach and make your stomach big."

Song Xiaoling pointed at the gigantic fra again.

"So Uncle, you haven’t been washing your hands before al?"

"I haven’t," Shen Jingwei’s nodded full of regret. "I had to go to a doctor and he pulls out each worm out of my mouth and nose holes."

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Shen Jingwei grabbed Song Yaya by her shoulders.

"So Yaya, listen to Uncle. You must always wash your hands before every al. Do you understand?"

Terrified by Shen Jingwei’s surreal experience with worms, Song Yaya nodded so hard that she almost sprained her neck.

Obediently, she marched toward the sink and washed her hands thoroughly before they went out of the bedroom, Baobei close at their heels.

After they had dinner together, Song Xiaoling and Song Yaya excused themselves.

"I am sorry for everything that happened today and the other days," Song Xiaoling finally managed to apologize to Shen Jingwei wholeheartedly. "I have no excuse to defend myself. I was just a nasty, selfish person. I hope to be better eventually."

Shen Jingwei’s heart softened when hearing her apologetic words.

"I am sorry for causing you pain," he said in return. "Let’s get along better in the future."

He then extended a hand in Song Xiaoling’s direction. The woman took it with gratitude.

"Thank you. Let’s do that."

Shen Jingwei could only see the end of the storm, but Yan Renzhong saw a much bigger storm looming ahead.

After the Song sisters left, he took Shen into his arms and hugged him tight.

Shen Jingwei laughed.

"What’s wrong? Are you relieved?"

"Yeah," Yan Renzhong lied. "But most of all, I am happy that you are here with ."

At the sa ti, his heart was filled with a lot of concerns.

Concern about his health.

Concern about his sisters.

Concern about his career.

And above all, concern about his relationship with Shen Jingwei.

Shen Jingwei rubbed the back of Yan Renzhong’s head affectionately.

"I love you," he said. And as if he could read Yan Renzhong’s mind, he added, "don’t worry too much."

Yan Renzhong clenched his jaw.

Dr. Kang was right. It was probably nothing.
