Chapter 196 - Puppy Love

Lang Ruoxian tells Yan Hua that the nightclub miss whom Hua Yan took away at that time was a newly graduated college student. She only did this job in order to raise money for her father’s operation.

“The girl was only a hostess, not a prostitute.” Lang Ruoxian says, “It was unknown why Hua Yan took a fancy to her.”

Yan Hua probably knows what he is going to say. “Is there any problem with the relationship between the two now?”

“Hua Yan left the girl and went to another place in their second year abroad.” Lang Ruoxian’s tone is somewhat strange. Yan Hua asks, “So he left the girl alone abroad?”

“The normal trend is this.” Lang Ruoxian says, “But the girl had a sum of money in her hand. She used the money to open a small shop. The business was very good and she even took her father there.”

“Hua Yan still had a conscience.” Yan Hua thought the money was given by Hua Yan.

But Lang Ruoxian smiles. “You gave her the money.”

Yan Hua is puzzled.

“When the girl left with Hua Yan, she secretly approached you. I don’t think your family even knew about it.” Lang Ruoxian looks at her with a particularly proud expression, “Hua, you must have known at that time that Hua Yan was not a good person, so you gave her a sum of money.”

Yan Hua is silent for a while. “I don’t think that girl is bad, otherwise I won’t give her money.”

“You left her a route of retreat. You didn’t expect her to use it so soon.”

“How do you know? Have you met the girl?”

Lang Ruoxian smiles. “From the domestic gossip news, the girl saw you come back from the dead. My people contacted her when they were investigating Hua Yan. I didn’t expect her to say everything.”

“I am indeed a good person!” Yan Hua rolls on the bed. “Luckily that Hua Yan didn’t like me, otherwise I would have lost a lot.”

Lang Ruoxian looks at her with affection and love. “I should say this. OK, go to take a shower and sleep. Is there anything tomorrow?”

“No, I will go to my eldest uncle’s house this weekend. He is visiting abroad.” Yan Hua enters the bathroom with her mobile phone and gives Lang Ruoxian a glad eye. “Do you want to see me take a bath?”

Lang Ruoxian looks straight at her. “What do you think?”

“Don’t make yourself uncomfortable.” Yan Hua smiles and kisses the screen. “I’ll hang up and you’ll go to bed earlier.”

The news of Tang Duo’s returning has been still suspected to be unreliable. But because Bai Jingzhu speaks ill of Tang Duo everywhere, everyone finally confirms that Tang Duo, who is good for nothing except her beauty and doesn’t even graduate from university, has really returned.

Because Yan Hua applies for a new mobile phone number, no matter whether it is a true friend or a fake, no one can contact her. Hua Zhong is worried and finally runs to Tang Family’s house this afternoon.

“Sister! Hua Zhong is here.” Tang Cao hasn’t been out much lately, and has been playing with Gungun at home.

Half a year later, Gungun will go to primary school. Bai Susu thinks that there is no need to find a kindergarten for him. After the Spring Festival, they will hire teachers to come home and teach some basic knowledge to Gungun. Then he will go to primary school directly in September.

He will go to Caesar in Yanjing, which is also the school Xiaojiu and Mingxi go.

“He has a secret crush on me?” Yan Hua remembers the information.

Tang Cao exhales with his nose. “Just because he was almost kidnapped in his childhood, but you found something wrong and saved him. After that, he always liked to follow you everywhere you went as if he were your younger brother.”

Only Tang Cao knows that Hua Zhong has been liking Tang Duo. Because it wasn’t long after Tang Duo got engaged to Hua Yan, Hua Zhong secretly ran to ask Tang Duo to go out one night and cried in the garden, asking Tang Duo not to marry his elder brother but wait for him to marry her in a few years.

“That’s what you said.” Tang Cao who secretly saw the whole process, twists his body and lifts his orchid fingers. “Silly boy, I have always regarded you as my younger brother. When you grow up, there will be another better girl for you to love. Be a good boy! Go home quickly.”

Yan Hua is speechless.

“I certainly didn’t look as annoying as you, just like needing a spanking.”

Tang Cao rolls his eyes. “This is not the point. The point is that he is waiting to see you downstairs! Should I find an excuse to send him away?”

“Forget it…” Yan Hua stands up. “Even if I stay away from him this time, I will meet him later. Let’s hear what he will say.”

Besides, several years have passed. She has already married and become a mother. Hua Zhong should have thought it clearly. Maybe he has already forgotten his confession to her.

“Sister Duo!”

Yan Hua goes downstairs and sees this young man sitting in the sitting room. He doesn’t have a beautiful face like Tang Cao does, but he is very handsome, like a star in a magazine.

“Hua Zhong, long time no see!” Yan Hua smiles and then actively pats Hua Zhong who stands up. “You are welcome. Sit down please.”

Hua Zhong looks at her with excitement. “Sister Duo…”

“Mmm.” Yan Hua glances at Tang Cao and her father who are sitting in the dining room and peeping.

Bai Susu goes to the company today. Chang Pei’e goes out early in the morning to visit friends. Without the ones discipline them, the two men set themselves free.

“Where have you been in the past five years?” Hua Zhong clenches his fist. “I… I heard that you are married and have a son…”

“Yes!” Yan Hua pushes the coffee cup on the table towards him. “And you? Tang Cao said that you came back from studying abroad last year?”

“Yes.” Hua Zhong nods and takes a sip of coffee.

Yan Hua sees him seem to drink painfully. “I remember you like coke. I’ll get it for you!”

“No, no!” Hua Zhong quickly waves his hand. “I… I just want to come and see you and… talk to you.”

“Why are you embarrassed?” Yan Hua smiles. “You are so embarrassed that I think you have not grown up yet, just like the little brother a few years ago.”

Disappointment flashes in Hua Zhong’s eyes, but he still tries to say, “I have grown taller. Look! I am an adult.”

“Tang Cao is taller than me, and he is still my younger brother.” Yan Hua reaches out and touches Hua Zhong’s head. “No matter how old you are, you are both my younger brothers.”

Hua Zhong lowers his head and hides the look in his eyes. It takes a few seconds before he raises his head and smiles. “Haven’t you told me where you have been in recent years? Please tell me. I want to know.”

“OK!” Yan Hua picks up an apple and takes a bite. “It’s a long story. When I…”

In the kitchen…

Tang Yao turns to Tang Cao to show off. “You see how smart your sister is. At first glance, that boy still has a motive to her. That is all right. I guess he has been overwhelmed again.”

“His surname is Hua!” Tang Cao sneers. “Don’t say he is a just a boy. Even if he is a mature man, it is out of the question.”

The enmity between Hua Family and their family is the one that will never be resolved in one generation.

“But Hua Zhong is different from his stupid elder brother.” Tang Yao feels that he has to be fair to the poor child. “The first two years after your sister disappeared, I heard that he looked for her everywhere.”

“It was all his brother’s fault.” Tang Cao clenches his fist, rattling. “Hua Yan had better not come back for the rest of his life, or I will kill him.”

Tang Yao shares the same hatred. “Yes, kill him!”

Hua Zhong hears through what Yan Hua says. Five years is not a long time in one’s life, but it is the most precious age. He has grown from a teenager to a man, and the girl he likes has also become a woman.

“What is your expression!” Yan Hua takes a sip of flower and fruit tea and smiles. “I have leaded a good life. Although I experienced some setbacks at first, I met my husband later. He is very kind to me, so don’t be so sad.”

Hua Zhong wants to cry but tries to hold back tears and nods. He doesn’t know whether he is sad about the experience Tang Duo suffered or about himself. He always thought Tang Duo was dead and he buried his feelings for her.

But now Tang Duo is not dead, then what about his feelings?

“Hua Zhong.” Yan Hua suddenly stops smiling and looks at him seriously. “In my heart, you are my younger brother like Tang Cao. I hope you can be happy and find someone who loves you and you love. Sometimes, some feelings are not so important. You just get used to it and don’t know how to place it.”

“Try, open your heart and don’t tie yourself down.”

Hua Zhong finally cannot help but cry.

“F**k! If this guy dares to jump into my sister’s arms, I will beat him to death.” Tang Cao is eager to try.

Tang Yao is more excited than he is, who is about to rush out.

It’s a pity that Hua Zhong does nothing and looks at Yan Hua with blank eyes. A few minutes later, he stands up and looks like a handsome boy again. He also puts on sunglasses.

“Sister Duo, I’m fine. I understand everything you say.” Hua Zhong sniffs. “As long as… As long as you are willing to talk to me. I know my eldest brother, he…”

“He is him and you are you.” Yan Hua pats the handsome boy on the shoulder again. “We have nothing to do with him!”

Hua Zhong leaves happily.

No sooner has he disappeared from the door than Tang Yao and Tang Cao jump out.

“Sister, you did well!” Tang Cao rubs his hands and says, “Let’s make that guy cry next time!”

Tang Yao comes close slyly and says, “Dear daughter, I will not tell my son-in-law.”

“Dad, I didn’t do anything. What are you going to tell him?” Yan Hua shakes her head. “By the way, Dad, I have heard that you always quarrel with Hua Zhong’s father outside?”

“Who said that?” Tang Yao’s eyes glares. “How can you call it quarrelling? That is my unilaterally making him feel sick!”

Tang Cao says quickly, “Sister, you want to say that Dad should stop quarrelling, don’t you?”

“No, I don’t…” Yan Hua feels that Tang Yao has become accustomed to scolding Hua Family. “Anyway, Dad, just don’t lose, or you’ll feel uncomfortable.”

Tang Yao walks on air. “My dear daughter, stop jabbering! How can I lose? Hua Yan’s dad is my defeated opponent.”

“Uncle!” Gungun runs out of the game room. Tang Cao’s game room has been occupied since Gungun came back.

Tang Cao says “Hey” and hugs the chubby boy. “What’s the matter?”

“I can’t beat the boss in the game.” Gungun replies fretfully, “I have played several times.”

“Go, go, go! Uncle will abuse it for you.”

Having seen him hold Gungun away, Yan Hua sees Tang Yao sneaking toward the door.

“Dad, Mom said not to let you out.”

Tang Yao’s foot is lifted in mid-air, and he turns his head to say pitifully. “I’ll just go out for a walk. Staying at home every day is not good for the elderly.”

“Then you can stroll at home!” Yan Hua looks around the sitting room. “Our house is so big.”
