Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Who Calls Her Mother?_1
Ye Xingguang was surprised: “I thought your mom had a good temper.”
Ye Junqing lowered his head and glanced at her deeply, his wary eyes were full of drama: “That’s all an act for others to see. I grew up under the shadow of my tiger mom. I have a bad temper, which is hereditary, and was greatly influenced by my mother.”
This man indeed has a bad temper, and it turns out he is self-aware of it.
“Then let’s go back for dinner with your parents first.”
Ye Junqing’s gloomy and depressed expression eventually lightened up slightly.
Half an hour later, Ye Baixiu and Bai Peiluan, who were planning to enjoy a romantic dinner like young people, were confronted with the sight of Ye Junqing and Ye Xingguang, who were rarely coming to dine with them: “…….”
Ye Xingguang raised her eyes and questioned Ye Junqing: “Didn’t you say that your mom asked us to come for dinner tonight?”
Ye Junqing, whose lie has been exposed, still maintained his composed serious expression: “Exactly, mom, what’s the matter? You called me in the morning, asking me to bring Xingguang over for dinner tonight, and have you forgot about it now, intending to stand your son and daughter-in-law up?”
Bai Peiluan was utterly confused. When did she invite her son and daughter-in-law home for dinner?
But before Bai Peiluan could retort, she slapped her own forehead: “Oh dear, look at my memory. The older I get, the worse my memory becomes. Or, son, Xingguang, why don’t you join us for dinner?”
Thinking about having to bring two extras to their romantic dinner, Bai Peiluan felt resigned. After all, she is the mother.
Moreover, she had been feeling guilty towards her son those days, and his resentful eying only made her more guilty.
Standing aside, Ye Baixiu’s mood was written on his face: Good for nothing, interrupting the candlelit dinner with my wife and still have the nerve to be sulky!
An hour later, the family of four shared dinner together at an elegant Western restaurant in the city.
The soothing music and lovely garden-style layout were particularly suitable for two people to spend a romantic night. But with four people, the romance had to be halved. It was somewhat disappointing, but since the kids were their own, they had to accept the situation.
During dinner, Bai Peiluan held Xingguang’s hand and nervously asked about how things were going back home.
“Xingguang, I haven’t been feeling well lately, and I haven’t visited your parents, they don’t mind, do they?”
Ye Xingguang replied: “No, my parents understand.”
Bai Peiluan heaved a sigh of relief: “How has your mother been in recent years? Where do you guys live?”
“She’s fine. Our family lives on an unnamed island. The pace of life on the island is slow, but my parents quite like it.”
Despite Ye Xingguang’s casual answer, Bai Peiluan felt worried: “How long has your father been sick?”
“So he’s been going through dialysis every now and then for ten years, and your mother has been taking care of him?”
Ye Xingguang nodded: “Yes.”
Hearing this, Bai Peiluan felt uneasy. Lan Wu had spent most of her life taking care of a sick man on a poor island, this wasn’t the life that a Bai family daughter deserved. Her life should have been that of a wealthy lady on top of the societal pyramid, but…
In an instant, Bai Peiluan lost her appetite, feeling like she was the wicked woman in TV dramas, taking everything that should have belonged to someone else. Looking at Ye Baixiu, who was cutting her steak, she felt even guiltier, feeling that even her husband was snatched away, because…
