Once everything quietened down, Yue Yue first turned to the maid who had become her voice just now and gave her a thumbs up, âYouâre good. Iâll give you a good bonus for this performance.â
âThanks for the compliment, Mistress Yue,â said the maid. âThere isnât a need for a bonus since itâs my duty but I wonât decline it either.â
Her reaction amused Yue Yue while when Raelle looked over at the maid, she went silent and even lowered her head. It was always like that. The help at home would be acting quite casually with others but when it came to Raelle, theyâd turn serious. They wouldnât dare joke or talk so casually with Raelle.
âOkay, you can get back to work.â
The maid nodded and turned to leave. Yue Yue then shifted her attention to Raelle with a wide grin plastered on her face. She looked at Raelleâs face for a long while in silence and Raelle neither broke this silence nor did she avoid Yueâs eyes. She was standing just as usual. The confident, the unbothered, the indifferent. Everything about her was exactly the same.
Yue Yue stepped up and hugged her. Her slender arms wrapped around Raelleâs body enveloping this awkward girl in her arms. Raelle was momentarily stiffened but soon, her body eased up as she allowed Yue Yue to hug her. It seemed it was difficult to train her body to accept hugs. Her body had gotten used to Shui Xianâs hugs though since he loved to act clingy. But others rarely hugged her so her body wasnât used to this intimacy with anyone else.
After a full minute, Yue Yue stepped back, âSorry. I know you donât like hugs.â
âI donât like hugs from outsiders,â said Raelle. âFamily is still okay once in a while. And youâre family.â
Yue Yue nodded her head as tears brimmed in her eyes, âYes, yes. I know. Iâm family. How can I forget that? This family is the reason Iâm so courageous now.â
.....
âDonât,â said Raelle. âDonât let those tears fall. If Hyson learned that I let your cry while he wasnât around, it wonât end well. I donât wanna listen to him nagging for hours. No, heâd nag me for a whole year or maybe till the end of time.â
Yue Yue laughed at that, âHe is a clown.â
âHe is your son,â reminded Raelle.
âHe is my son thatâs why I know he is a clown,â was Yue Yueâs response. âDid you get what you needed? Iâm gonna pack the cream puffs and you can then take them to Xian. Okay?â
Raelle nodded to show that she understood.
Shui Koshing walked over to Raelle and asked, âAre you going somewhere?â Since he couldnât understand what Yue Yue was saying, he didnât know the plan between Raelle and Yue Yue.
âIâm going to deliver cream puffs to my husband,â she answered.
âYou have to do it yourself?â
âI want to,â she said.
Shui Koshing sighed, âRight. Who can argue with that? Fine. Fine. Go and deliver it to him. Just be careful, he might ascend to heaven with happiness.â
âDonât worry, he wonât be willing to go anywhere without me,â said Raelle.
Raelle turned to enter the house while Shui Koshing looked at Yue Yue and smiled, âIâm so proud of you today.â
Yue Yue smiled back at him as she took out the phone from her apron to type, âIâm also very proud of myself today.â
âEven I couldnât listen to what your mo... Ahem... What that old lady said,â he didnât want to call Madam Yue as Yue Yueâs mother anymore. She really didnât deserve that title. âAnd I guess I wasnât alone who couldnât swallow it down. Even my daughter-in-law wasnât willing to just listen. I have never seen her act like this before.â He paused and frowned, âNo, Iâve seen something similar.â He was reminded of the time when Raelle stood up for him in front of Amelia. He was also feeling so warm at that time. The feeling of being protected was really something else.
âShe had always been protective of her own people,â said Yue Yue. âBut she rarely shows her might in such a straightforward way.â
Zhai Kuijun also walked over to their side and looked at Yue Yue with a pang of guilt in his eyes, âIâm sorry. It seems whenever Iâm around, I bring your trouble and only trouble.â
âAs long as you know it,â said Shui Koshing.
Yue Yue held Shui Koshingâs arm to stop and he rolled his eyes before he went silent and looked away.
Yue Yue gave Zhai Kuijun her usual kind and gentle smile as she said, âBut it isnât your fault. In fact, I told you plenty of times that none of it had ever been your fault. I should be apologizing to you since I dragged you into this messy family. Zhai family would have no interaction with Yue family if I hadnât met you. If I hadnât helped Yue Lan, you wouldnât have even gotten together with her either. So, at the end of the day, it is truly my own fault for pulling you into this.â Yue Yue didnât think she was being kind by saying this, she was actually very clear about everything. She had long understood that she had more things to be guilty about than him. She owed him more than he owed her.
In fact, he hardly owed her anything. She never thought he owed her for the night they spent together. Although she wasnât clear about that night much, she was still cleared that if she hadnât found him accidentally, sheâd have been r*ped by those men. She had never spoken a word about that because she never wanted to recall that time.
But it was also true that she was actually willing to be with him that night. Even if she wasnât in her senses, she was clear about who was with her and she was happy about it deep down.
She owed him for hiding the existence of his son from him as well. She owed him for bringing a psycho like Yue Lan into his life and ruining him. She couldnât just extract herself from that situation at all. It was her insecurity and lack of confidence that made her push Yue Lan into his life.
âKuijun, she knew you and I have no such relationship. Do you know why she brought it up?â Zhai Kuijun looked at her inquisitively. âBecause she wanted me to feel guilty and she wanted to use it against me to make me give in. After all, she is my mother. She really knew how to manipulate me well. She did it for all my life. So, she knew that once she threw mud at us, Iâd give into her demands to prove my innocence. And if it was 20 years ago, I might have done exactly that. But now, Iâm not longer that easily manipulated. She can think about me however she wants. Her opinion means nothing to me. Nothing at all.â
She patted his hand as she typed with only one hand, âAnd you donât have to fall for her words either. Her opinions shouldnât matter to you either since she is no longer your mother-in-law. Youâre free to do whatever you want. I know you got this freedom after a long and tiring battle, so donât waste this freedom by giving importance to the words of people like her. Chenyan says, life is too short to live it for others. No matter what you do, the world will never be happy. So why bother making everyone happy? The only personâs whose happiness matters is you. Donât deprive yourself the right of happiness for the sake of living up to othersâ expectations of you.â
While Zhai Kuijun was stunned by the sincerity and conviction in her eyes along with her words, Shui Koshing placed his hand on her head saying, âYinâer would have been over the moon to see that her Yue actually grew up so much.â
âGe, I have an adult son,â reminded Yue Yue.
âAnd he always seemed the mature one between you and him.â
Yue Yue gaped at him in disbelief while Shui Koshing laughed at her reaction. Then he slapped Zhai Kuijunâs shoulder saying, âKnock it off. Why are you lost now? Didnât you understand what she said? We are already old now. Whatâs the point of living for others?â
Yue Yue nodded in agreement.
Zhai Kuijun didnât speak anything at this time because he wasnât certain about what he could say. After hearing what Madam Yue said, he didnât think about distancing himself from Yue Yue. He actually wanted to be closer to her now. It reminded him of the question Zhai Yanjun asked him to figure out. What did he really feel about Yue Yue? The answer was very clear now. It couldnât be any clearer than this now.
