Chapter 1122: [Bonus chapter] Want Me To Say It?

Chapter 1122: [Bonus chapter] Want Me To Say It?Even though Grandpa Zhai stopped Grandma Zhai from speaking halfway, Yue Yue could still guess what she wanted to ask. It was nothing more than about her partner. Sigh! That was the most difficult question of her life.         

She was actually thankful that Grandpa Zhai didn't let Grandma Zhai continue or it'd be very difficult for her to answer anything at that moment.     

"Where are you lost?"     

Yue Yue snapped back to reality and looked at Zhai Kuijun. Her expression was a bit strange when she looked at him. She had obviously been observing the change in him these past weeks. There was something she was actually unable to understand.      

But she had a subtle feeling about it though.     

Especially when she noticed how Zhai Kuijun persisted in looking for Hyson tonight, the subtle feeling became more and more clear.      

He knew!     

That was all she could think of right now. He definitely knew the truth.     

It's just that he hadn't spoken about it to her yet. So, was she finally going to bring up the secret that she thought she'd take to the grave with her? But it was already unfair to him. Was she gonna stay silent even now just because he was patient with her and didn't even ask her a single question?     

That only would make her more uncomfortable.     

"What?" asked Zhai Kuijun when he saw her looking at him so intently. "Is something on my face?"     

She shook her head in response.     

"Then? Why so silent? You were clearly very happy talking with my parents. Must have had a pleasant conversation."     

'We always had a pleasant conversation whenever we met.'     

"True," agreed Zhai Kuijun. "I really can't remember a single incident when you had an unpleasant conversation with my parents," he sighed. "So, it's not surprising that my mother always wished to make you her daughter-in-law."     

Yue Yue was startled when he brought that up. It wasn't actually a secret. Since Grandma Zhai had once held her hand and told her how sad she was that she wasn't becoming her daughter-in-law. How could she forget that? She was both happy for her recognition and sad that it didn't become true.     

'Do you think that became the reason why they couldn't accept Yue Lan?'     

Zhai Kuijun poked her forehead, "Stop wasting your brain energy. Anyway, your brain can't think straight."     

Yue Yue gaped at him in disbelief. He was insulting her so blatantly right now. Wasn't that questioning her intelligence?     

'Don't question my intelligence! I raised an excellent son like Fai!'     

Zhai Kuijun instantly wilted since he couldn't argue with that but he still had to make his point clear, "Am I wrong though? Think about it yourself. How many dumb choices you have made in life? That would make any one question your intelligence. In fact, I think Fai is right. His intelligence definitely isn't inherited. He is just the unique piece."     

When he said that Yue Yue went silent for a moment and then she pulled him out of the banquet hall. Standing in a secluded corner, she faced him. 'Let's talk.'     

"Okay," he agreed readily. "Let's talk. What are we talking about though?"     

Yue Yue turned to look outside the glass windows at the bright lights that lit up the whole city and made it a whole different sight.  She bit her lip for a while and her hand tightened on her phone. But in the end, she loosened her hand and typed, 'You know, right?'     

"What are you talking about?"      

She couldn't believe he was deciding to play dumb at this moment with her. But she couldn't even blame him for that.         

'About Fai.'     

"What about Fai?"     

Yue Yue pursed her lips, 'You really want me to say it.'     

"Yes," he replied.     

Yue Yue nodded her head and took a deep breath to calm herself. She gathered her courage and finally typed, 'You know that Fai is your son.'     

Zhai Kuijun smiled silly when he read that on her phone screen and didn't respond for a while. He just continued to look at those words with a content look on his face. But there was a little regret in his eyes. It would have been even better if she had said the same sentence in her own voice.     

But unfortunately, you can't have everything your way in this world. He should just be happy with what he got for now. This was already more than he expected.     

Just over a month or so ago, he didn't even think that he'd find Yue Yue again. And who would have thought that he'd have another son? So, thinking about it, life gave him more than what he asked for. How could he still complain?     

"I know," he replied.     

Yue Yue had already guessed it but hearing it from him was different. It actually made her feel a little jittery.     

Seeing her hand shaking a little, he didn't hesitate to hold her hand on his own and said soothingly, "Relax! It's alright. Everything is fine. There is no need to be so nervous about this."     

Yue Yue wanted to respond but didn't know how? Because she was also unsure why she was so jittery all of a sudden. She should have seen it coming. How could secrets stay secrets forever?      

She suddenly didn't know how to face him. She wanted this secret to really stay a secret. For no other reason but that she didn't think it'd do any good to anyone. But it was only her wishful thinking. What she had to face, she had to eventually face it no matter what.     

Seeing her lowering her head and avoiding his eyes, Zhai Kuijun was actually a bit amused because he felt like she looked like a student who had done something wrong. He suddenly recalled that whenever she did anything wrong when she was young, she'd stand in front of him like this and look pitiful.     

It even made it difficult for him to blame her or even berate her.
