Chapter 1822: Chapter 1816: Such a Young Master
Dongfang Li had great ideas, but many things do not proceed just as she wishes, especially when there are people coming to find them now.
Dongfang Li cannot manage so much now. She just wants to leave that place, never to return again.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Li’s heart aches. She had been determined to go her own way despite her family’s objections, and now she is tasting the bitter fruit of it. She can’t say if she regrets it or not; from the moment she discovered certain things, she has often asked herself this question, but never has an answer.
But now, she wants to go back to see her parents and then take her son to a place where no one knows them, where future days will be free of these worries.
Dongfang Li looked at the scenery rapidly passing by outside the window. She was tired; she didn’t want to continue like this. The ignorance she had in the past led to nothing but her own wishful thinking. It’s time to wake up.
"Yes, it will hurt, but Xue Ling said Dad is very powerful, so my brother and I can’t be worse than Dad." Yu Chen knew it would hurt, but he couldn’t ignore Xue Ling’s words, which troubled him as well.
"Who is Xue Ling?" Nannan watched as Yu Chen put together and then took apart the blocks, following his lead without objection.
"It’s the girl sitting over there, see? That’s her." Yu Chen looked up and finally saw where Xue Ling was, pointing her out to Nannan.
"What a beautiful big sister." Nannan hadn’t expected this sister to be so beautiful, like a fairy, although only he knew what a fairy truly was.
"She’s not a sister; she’s a mentor." Yu Chen shook his head. Xue Ling had said, when teaching him and his brother the formulas and moves, that she’s a mentor. So Yu Chen never called Xue Ling his sister.
"Is she really a mentor at such a young age? Why is my mentor an old man?" Nannan felt sad; despite having the same title, there was such a big difference—Yu Chen’s mentor was a beauty, while his was an old man.
"I don’t know, Mom said to listen to Xue Ling." Since childhood, Yu Chen and his brother had been with Xue Ling, and somehow she had become their mentor, and their mother didn’t mind it, letting Xue Ling take care of them. So, in his heart, Xue Ling is his mentor, and more like a nurturing mentor.
"I also want a mentor like this. If I could practice martial-art squat with you, then I’d also have such a pretty mentor." This was the first time Nannan expressed a desire to do something he truly wanted.
"Then join us. We have so many people learning from Xue Ling together, isn’t it great?" Yu Chen didn’t know where Nannan and the others were going, but since they were all on this bus, they must be headed to the same place, right? They could follow everyone back home.
"No, my mom and I are going to see Grandma, and then we’ll leave. We can’t stay together." Nannan didn’t know what was happening with his mom, but he understood that she was going to leave Dad and wouldn’t return.
But he never asked his mother where they were heading; he only heard her murmurs before falling asleep last night, which was how he knew that after visiting Grandpa and Grandma, they would leave.
This kind of departure made Nannan unsure whether to feel happy or sad, but seeing his mother unhappy, he asked nothing.
"Then it’s even better; you can come to our house. Jingtao is with us now, and Aunty Xiu is here too. Let me secretly tell you, we also have a sister and Aunt Qing, so many, many people. Won’t you come?" Yu Chen pleaded with Nannan, thinking this little brother was nice and wanting him to join them.
Nannan looked at Yu Chen, troubled, saying nothing. His mom had told him not to make promises they couldn’t keep.
