年轻的母亲5全集国语

Quan Shaoteng was so proud of himself and started to banter with them. “Come, pit against me for speed... I’ve been a bachelor all my life, you guys will be in for a hard time!”

“...”

It was very lively in the group chat. Xiang Wan was smiling and grinning all the way.

Bai Muchuan soon stepped out of the bathroom, wiping his hair. He saw her lying on the bed and smacked her butt.

“What are you looking at? You’re grinning away.”

“I’m snatching red packets!” Xiang Wan gave him a sidelong glance, then she continued to look at her mobile phone.

Sir Little Bai, who felt that he had been neglected, frowned and harrumphed to get attention. “Xiang Wan.”

“What is it?” Xiang Wan changed to a different posture and continued to look at her mobile phone.

Aye! Bai Muchuan sat down at the side of the bed and kept looking at her. As she didn’t look at him, he snorted unhappily. “You like red packets so much?”

“Of course! It’s money!” Xiang Wan blinked happily at him. “I love money and I’m proud of it.”

“...”

Bai Muchuan looked at her quietly for a moment and patted her head.

“Come back with me in the afternoon for a big red packet.”

“Mm?” Xiang Wan turned to look at him with a confused expression.

The two of them looked at each other.

Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh. “Grandma wants us to go back for dinner.”

...

Xiang Wan found it challenging to inform her mom about this matter.

That morning, her mom and youngest aunt were already making the dishes for their Reunion Dinner as they thought that the two of them would celebrate Lunar New Year in Jin City.

Xiang Wan didn’t want her mom to be disappointed.

Neither did she want Bai Muchuan to be disappointed as well.

This was something that she had never faced before—which city should she stay in to celebrate Lunar New Year. For the first time in her life, she realized how difficult this problem was.

“I’ll go tell my mom about this.” Xiang Wan sighed.

“Let me do it!” Bai Muchuan was very confident. “Your mom dotes on her son-in-law...”

“Nope!” Xiang Wan gave him an unhappy glance. “Your task right now is to go to bed. Sleep!”

Bai Muchuan: “...”

He had not slept a wink last night.

Xiang Wan ordered him to get some sleep and she left the room and went downstairs with her slippers.

The living room was very lively.

Eldest aunt and eldest uncle-in-law also came early because of her youngest aunt.

They wanted to keep her company, comfort, console her and celebrate the Lunar New Year together.

The relations between the Tan sisters were actually excellent. In the past, their youngest sister was the one who looked out for them and helped them out whenever she could. Now that their youngest sister needed support, they were there beside her and wished they could beat Xing Yuanhang to a pulp.

In fact, eldest aunt and her mom were angrier at Xing Yuanhang than youngest aunt was.

Last night, Tan Yuechun had sorted out her feelings and emotions. She was now laughing along with them and her emotions seemed stable.

They couldn’t find any hint of anxiety in her. It seemed as if the Xing Feifei and Xing Yuanhang incident had never taken place.

Xiang Wan suddenly felt respect for her youngest aunt.

She really was an admirable woman.

Xiang Wan knew that she was definitely hurting inside. She just didn’t want to worry her beloved sisters and those concerned about her...

“Little Wan ah!” Xiang Wan’s mom was the first to notice Xiang Wan at the stairs and waved at her.

When Xiang Wan got closer, her mom asked with her eyebrows furrowed, “Where did you bring Yuanyuan to so early in the morning? It’s almost noon already. Why isn’t she back yet?”

Eldest aunt and eldest uncle-in-law also looked on in worry.

Xiang Wan cleared her throat and did not dare to look into their eyes.

“She... umm, went to see a friend.”

“Friend? Which friend?” Indeed, they started to probe.

“Cough, it’s actually her boyfriend...” Xiang Wan felt her scalp numb with so many scrutinizing gazes on her. She didn’t dare to lie at all. “Well... the last time at Xi City, didn’t I mention before that she’s dating a colleague of Little Bai, who has a good character and is capable? Last night, they went on a mission and he got injured while arresting the criminals.”

She spoke half of the truth.

Xiang Wan’s explanation didn’t arouse their suspicions.

Eldest aunt and uncle-in-law discussed a little amongst themselves. “Which hospital is that guy staying now? We should go visit him.”

Uh!

Fang Yuanyuan’s parents couldn’t wait to see their son-in-law!

Xiang Wan instantly felt nervous. If they were to know that Yuanyuan and Huang He had already gone ahead to register their marriage behind their back... And that she had a part to play in their ‘clandestine’ marriage, would they come after her with choppers in their hands?

“I don’t think that’s appropriate.” Xiang Wan voiced her concerns and found a really good excuse. “The case’s still not fully closed yet. It really isn’t convenient if you both go there so suddenly and so openly!”

“What’s not convenient? We’re not part of the case. We just want to visit him.” Eldest aunt disagreed, then looked at her husband for support. “Yuanyuan’s boyfriend is injured. It’s normal for us to visit him, right?”

Eldest uncle-in-law nodded his head.

And nodded again.

“Yeah, we have to see what kind of person our girl is dating.”

“Oh please!” Xiang Wan laughed but was really troubled inside. “It’s really not nice to suddenly show up like this! No matter what, we should give that guy some mental preparation. He will definitely feel nervous to meet Yuanyuan’s parents for the first time.”

Xiang Wan was now thinking about how she could inform Fang Yuanyuan so she could be prepared to deal with her own parents instead of thinking about how Fang Yuanyuan might be angry at her for telling them that Huang He was now in the hospital. If Fang Yuanyuan and Huang He couldn’t handle this well, it would get very messy if eldest aunt and uncle-in-law objected to them being together.

“Youngsters nowadays are really... Aye!”

Eldest uncle-in-law seemed to agree as he puffed a sigh.

Eldest aunt was still worried. She unlocked her phone as she wanted to call Fang Yuanyuan.

“I need to ask that lass what’s the situation...”

“Eldest sis!” Youngest aunt stopped her sister then showed a smile. “Don’t worry so much. Let the youngsters handle this themselves...”

Tan Xichun was clearly a little surprised by her youngest sister. “Yuechun...”

These words really didn’t sound like what Tan Yuechun would have said in the past.

Xiang Wan was a little taken aback as well.

Everyone was now looking at her, unsure what she meant.

Tan Yuechun was always the pillar of the family. When she saw that everyone couldn’t get what she meant, she smiled. “The kids have to lead their own life,” she sighed as she stroked her knee. “What’s the use even if we are so worried about them? Those that they like, they will like them no matter what. Those that they don’t like, no matter how much effort is being put in, they still won’t like them. Besides, nobody would know if their other half is good or bad till the end. Sometimes, who one ends up with is really up to fate!”

Everyone was silent.

It was evident that what happened with Xing Yuanhang had dealt her a huge blow.

Her thoughts had obviously changed somewhat.

Xiang Wan felt her heart aching for her youngest aunt and she sat right next to her. “Youngest aunt is right,” she said warmly, “in our family, only youngest aunt is the most clear-headed, most logical, most cultured, most knowledgeable and most capable...”

“Stop all this flattery.” Tan Yuechun laughed and looked at her. “What do you want?”

Uh!

She could even tell that?

Indeed, the older the wiser!

But how did these pair of intelligent eyes get fooled by Xing Yuanhang?

Tan Yuechun saw Xiang Wan looking shiftily. “Go on, say it!”

“Yes.” Xiang Wan stuck out her tongue. It was rare for her to behave like that before her youngest aunt. Then, she looked at her mom meekly. “Well, Bai Muchuan’s grandma wanted us to go back for Lunar New Year...”
