CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 397: ENTANGLED

Tang Yue’s pretty face flushed crimson as she glared fiercely at Mo Siyu.

Mo Siyu’s deep eyes gazed at her, and his look seemed to say, "August 3rd, let’s go register our marriage."

Tang Yue simply looked away, diverting her gaze and said, "Little uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? You’re drunk, go back to sleep."

"Little aunt," Tang Yue stepped forward to support Tang Mingli.

Tang Mingli was utterly drunk, even more so than Mo Siyu. Tang Mingli could hardly even stand steadily.

"Little uncle, don’t fall over," Tang Yue said as she supported him.

Wei Jiajia joined in, saying, "Mingli, let’s go home and sleep."

"No, I want to take Si Yu with me." Tang Mingli staggered, pulling Mo Siyu as they walked arm in arm towards the outside.

Wei Jiajia couldn’t stop them.

After finally sending Tang Mingli back, Wei Jiajia returned, suggesting that the two men stay, while she would stay with Tang You’an and Tang Yue.

Tang Yue’s bed was specially made to be 1.8 meters wide, very spacious. Two adults and a child didn’t feel cramped at all.

In the room, only Little You’an’s giggling could be heard. Tang Yue, who had no children in her past or present life, now found Little You’an, with his chubby face and little hands, especially adorable. Although not very pale, his wheat-colored skin looked very healthy and cute.

If she and Mo Siyu had a child, would their child be as adorable as Little You’an?

Would the child resemble her more, or Mo Siyu more?

Tang Yue’s mind wandered with these thoughts, and she didn’t notice Wei Jiajia’s distraction for a while.

Not until Little You’an fell silent did they look over and discover he was exhausted from playing and had fallen asleep at the foot of the bed.

"Little aunt, do you have something on your mind?" Tang Yue saw Wei Jiajia placing Little You’an in the middle of the bed to sleep, and she couldn’t tell if it was her imagination, but these days, she always felt Wei Jiajia was lost in thought. At first, Tang Yue thought it was because of the sudden change of place and that Wei Jiajia was not accustomed to it, but now Tang Yue felt that something was off.

"No." Wei Jiajia answered, feeling somewhat guilty herself. She wasn’t much older than Tang Yue, and although she was called ’little aunt’, Wei Jiajia felt like Tang Yue was more like a younger sister in her heart.

"Little aunt, between us, is there really a need to hide things?" Tang Yue’s bright eyes looked at Wei Jiajia. After all these years, Wei Jiajia was still as beautiful as when they first met, her sweet dimples and sweet smile always brought joy to others.

Now, Wei Jiajia radiated happiness from inside and out.

"Ah," Wei Jiajia sighed, not expecting her to be so sensitive. She thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know Qi Yufei?"

"Know her, did she go to find the little uncle? He didn’t pay her any attention, right?" Tang Yue thought of Qi Yufei, and couldn’t help remembering the arrogance of that woman in that small courtyard, back when the uncle had nothing.

To Tang Yue, Qi Yufei had left an undeniably bad impression.

"Mingli he..." Wei Jiajia recounted the events of that day. It was earlier that year. She had gone to find Tang Mingli, unable to recall exactly why, and saw Tang Mingli giving money to Qi Yufei. Even though she knew Tang Mingli didn’t love her, it still made her heart uncomfortably upset.

What could be gained from meeting Qi Yufei again?

Why can’t I tell her?

"Little aunt, don’t overthink it, it might just be that Qi Yufei is down on her luck and uncle helped her out," Tang Yue muttered to herself, thinking Tang Mingli was being too unreliable. She comforted her, saying: "Uncle, now in uncle’s eyes and heart, it’s you and Little You’an who matter the most. You are uncle’s treasures."

"I know." Wei Jiajia smiled, her dimples on her cheeks very pretty. She said, "I know your uncle doesn’t like her anymore, but now that we’re in Jing City, we might never see her again."

"We definitely won’t see her again, and even if we do, uncle certainly won’t help her unconditionally." Tang Yue was very clear on this point.

Tang Yue didn’t know how to comfort her, so she said, "Little aunt, you know? When I first found out something was off with uncle, I was truly shocked, as he was deeply hurt by Qi Yufei before, and I really didn’t expect anyone to unlock uncle’s heart."

"About uncle’s temperament, you probably know better than me. He is the type who, once he’s devoted to someone, does so wholeheartedly, as if he’d hand over his heart to them."

While observing Wei Jiajia’s expression, Tang Yue continued, "But on the contrary, since uncle decided not to be with Qi Yufei, then in this lifetime, he will never be with her again."

"I understand." Being caught in the middle, Wei Jiajia understood this all too well, and she smiled faintly, "Xiao Yue, I understand all that you’ve said. It’s just me being petty."

"No, love can’t tolerate even a speck of dust," Tang Yue said resolutely.

The next day, Tang Yue quietly discussed this matter with Tang Mingli, who was so anxious he didn’t know how to explain. "Xiao Yue, I just saw that she was divorced and didn’t have any money, so I just gave her US$ 500, there’s really no other reason."

"Uncle, you don’t need to explain it to me, you should explain it to little aunt. However, from what I see, she doesn’t seem jealous but feels that you’re hiding things from her," Tang Yue shared her feelings.

Tang Mingli took a long time pondering. That night, he confessed everything to Wei Jiajia, who looked angrily at him.

Tang Mingli apologized, cajoled, and swore until he finally made Wei Jiajia laugh.

"Go on, Tang Mingli, tell me, what did you do wrong?" Wei Jiajia asked purposefully, her attitude stern.

"Shouldn’t have... hidden it from you?" Tang Mingli responded while observing her relaxed demeanor. He quickly approached and hugged her, saying, "I just didn’t want you to worry, that’s why I didn’t tell you, and still, you ended up overthinking."

Tang Mingli felt guilty and self-blaming.

Wei Jiajia held his waist with both hands and said, "Helping her, I’m not such a cold-blooded person, but you hid it from me, and when I asked you, you hesitated and didn’t tell me. That made me unhappy."

"Jiajia, I’m sorry," Tang Mingli sincerely apologized.

The couple, who hadn’t started quarreling at the head of the bed, already made up at the foot of the bed.

The next day, seeing them both so sweet and loving, Tang Yue felt helpless.

"Xiao Yue," Qin Anyu came hiding early in the morning to Tang Yue’s place, the way she quickly closed the door behind her, it seemed as if a ghost was following her.

"Sister An Yu, what happened?" Tang Yue looked at Qin Anyu in surprise. Even when she encountered Chu Xuan, Sister An Yu was always composed. Why was she looking so flustered now? Her gaze fell on the clothes Qin Anyu was wearing—it was the same outfit she had on when she went out yesterday morning.

Which means, she didn’t shower yesterday!

In early spring, not showering for a day isn’t much, but for Qin Anyu, that was unusual. Qin Anyu is fastidious about cleanliness, always changing and washing her clothes daily.
