CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 124: HUSBAND AND WIFE’S NIGHTTIME CONVERSATION

Unbelievable...

Yu Yue was left shocked and full of admiration for his mother’s logic.

Never mind that his brother is only twenty-eight; even if he were thirty-eight, with his brother’s qualifications, does he really need to go on blind dates...

If his brother posted a selfie now, all the boys and girls online would flock to him, all with top-notch qualifications.

Cough, cough, getting off track here.

"Mom, what made you think of setting up a blind date for my brother?"

Yu Yue casually picked up a wine glass as a microphone, interviewing his dear mother.

Yu Ting even cooperated, adjusting her makeup and posture, putting on a formal tone,

"It’s like this, first of all... hahaha, you child, always joking around."

Before she could finish, Yu Ting started laughing, raising her hand to pat Yu Yue’s head.

Shi Tianyun, on the side, watched mother and son joke around, and also smiled contentedly.

In this life, having a confidante wife and a lovely child is enough.

Though sometimes his son could be an eyesore, like now, completely taking away his wife’s attention.

Shi Tianyun didn’t expect his wife to bring their son back for this matter; she had been all mysterious, saying he’d know in due time.

Turns out this was the issue, but in his opinion, it wasn’t necessary. He wouldn’t say anything, though; he won’t obstruct his wife’s actions.

Because surely there will be a foolish kid named Yu Yue stepping in.

"Mom, you better drop this idea."

See, wasn’t it brought up?

Sure enough, Yu Ting’s gentle expression froze for a moment, but she still suppressed her emotions, not understanding why her son refused, she softly asked:

"Why, Xiao Yue?"

Yu Yue continued munching on peanuts, still inwardly praising his dad’s consistent great skills; these peanuts were to his taste.

He completely didn’t notice his beloved mother on the brink of losing it, casually replying:

"My brother is interested in someone. I advise you guys not to interfere, he knows what he’s doing."

He threw a bombshell, leaving his parents speechless.

Yu Ting and Shi Tianyun exchanged glances, unable to believe their ears.

What did they just hear? Yu Xiaozhe has someone he likes?!

"Xiao Yue, tell mom in detail, will you?"

Yu Ting got up and sat next to Yu Yue, looking at her son expectantly.

At this moment, Shi Tianyun didn’t mind his wife sitting so far, also staring at Yu Yue.

Their expectant gazes were almost palpable, making Yu Yue lose his appetite. He put his chopsticks down, leaning back in his chair,

"It’s just like you heard, he has someone he likes."

Yu Ting raised her three concerned questions:

"Who is this person? How old? What do they do for a living?"

Yu Yue was unwilling to say more, "I can’t say. You’ll find out in time."

He wasn’t truly foolish; if he told his mom now, he knew she’d secretly investigate, and if she found out Ruan Xingwen was also an actor, she wouldn’t be happy with Xingxing.

Not that Yu Ting had any bias against actors, since Yu Xiaozhe is one and their family has a company in the entertainment industry.

It’s just that Yu Ting felt if two people are both busy with work, they’d have very little time to meet, like the younger versions of herself and Shi Tianyun.

Back then, what kept them going was Yu Yue and their unwavering love for each other.

But society now is too restless, let alone the entertainment industry with its chaos.

She was worried her eldest nephew might be momentarily deceived.

So, better to wait until his brother and Ruan Xingwen confirm their feelings and stabilize before telling his parents.

At this point, Yu Yue couldn’t help but mentally slap himself, "You’re too quick to speak! You’re too talkative!"

"You child, quickly tell mom so she can check on your brother’s behalf. What’s that kid’s name?"

Yu Yue was ready to make a run for it but was dragged back by his mom just as he got up.

Yu Ting adjusted her breathing, gently asking,

"Xiao Yue, hurry up and say it, did you hear me?"

Yu Yue felt the tenderness had an edge to it.

But he was used to it from childhood; when he made mistakes, and his mom would threaten him with his dad’s belt, he never flinched, worse comes to worst, endure the pain, a week later, he’d be good as new!

He spoke fearlessly:

"Mom, I really don’t know, why not call my brother and ask?"

If she could ask Yu Xiaozhe, would she still need to ask her foolish son?!

This brat was determined not to speak, tsk, tough cookie.

Yu Ting released her grip on Yu Yue’s sleeve, reverting to her dignified demeanor with a hint of impatience in her tone, "Dismissed."

"Yes, your loyal son is taking leave."

Yu Yue slowly retreated to the stairs, turned around, and ran up to his room.

Downstairs, the couple was still pondering whether their unreliable son’s words were true or not.

"Husband, do you think what Xiao Yue said could be true? Was he just brushing me off or is there substance to it?"

Shi Tianyun leisurely ate the dishes he cooked, occasionally thinking, this one’s a bit bland, that one’s overcooked.

He was also skeptical about what Yu Yue said. He always believed each generation has its own blessings, besides, love can’t be forced.

Shi Tianyun had his usual strategy to deal with his wife’s question.

"Wife, try this and see how it tastes."

Yu Ting opened her mouth to eat the braised pork presented to her, chewing it thoroughly, "Mm, hubby’s braised pork is always the best."

Encouraged by the praise, Shi Tianyun continued to diligently serve food, trying to help Yu Ting forget the earlier question.

After a while, Yu Ting refused the vegetables handed to her, picked up a napkin, and gently wiped her mouth.

"I’m full, hubby. Don’t worry about me, go ahead and eat."

Shi Tianyun nodded nonchalantly, but internally mused:

"If I don’t keep the queen happy, what if she remembers the earlier question..."

But what Shi Tianyun didn’t anticipate was, this time his plan actually failed!

His twenty-something-year-old foolproof trick had finally failed!

"Husband, do you think what Xiao Yue said was true? I can’t stop worrying."

"Wife, Ah Ze’s matters don’t need our involvement, including the fact that Xiao Yue and the others are already grown up and capable of handling things. Our meddling might do more harm than good."

"But..."

Yu Ting still felt that Yu Xiaozhe was the silent little boy who hadn’t grown up, even though he’s already twenty-eight, he’s still the nephew she raised from childhood.

Shi Tianyun interrupted her hesitation, advising earnestly:

"Wife, Ah Ze has grown up. His life decisions should be for him to handle, alright?"

As he spoke, he held Yu Ting’s soft hand on the table.

"Let the children manage their affairs; whatever happens, we’re here to support them, alright?"

"Sigh, let’s leave it for now, when Ah Ze has time, I’ll go see him, it’s been a while."

Yu Ting temporarily compromised.

Even if she didn’t, there wasn’t much she could do, with Xiao Yue not willing to talk, and her husband advising her to let go, might as well shelve it for the moment!
