Chapter 131: Long Time No See
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What Mr. Qiao? A bad feeling welled up in Yu Yao’s heart. With Yu Lang standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but tiptoe to see if the person opposite her was the one she was thinking of…
However, Yu Heng was quick enough to press her head down and push her back behind Yu Lang.
Following that, Yu Heng said in a similarly polite but unwilling tone, “Mr. Qiao, please forgive us. Yaoyao is throwing a tantrum at me and Eldest Brother. Don’t take her angry words to heart.”
Yu Yao heard a familiar chuckle. She could almost imagine the teasing smile on that person’s face.
She heard the person say with a smile, “Both of you are overthinking things. Hearing Yaoyao say this, I’m overjoyed.”
Yu Yao’s face instantly flushed red. She no longer tried to break through her brother’s blockade. Instead, she shrunk back even more and tried her best to reduce her presence.
However, Yu Yao couldn’t pretend that she didn’t exist forever. After all, in front of the Yu siblings, other than Qiao Lian, there were also their parents.
Yu Yao heard her biological father, Yu Hong’s voice. “Yu Lang, Yu Heng, don’t be rude in front of Mr. Qiao. Stop hiding your younger sister. Your younger sister is still young. It’s normal for her to like celebrities and idols. It’s not something embarrassing. There’s no need to hide it in front of Mr. Qiao.”
Yu Lang also smiled. “Dad, you’re right. Yaoyao has reached the age where she likes to chase after idols. She’s identical to the other girls.”
Yu Heng added, “That’s right. Treating idols and celebrities with more importance than me and Eldest Brother was what made us mad. But we’re just making a fuss. I hope you won’t think we’re being rude, Mr. Qiao.”
Hearing the three of them turn white into black with just a few words, Qiao Lian finally understood that it would not be easy for him to get past these people in the future. Why did Yu Yao just have to have so many family members who loved her like she was a treasure? It was really worrying.
Qiao Lian shook his head and chuckled. He didn’t expose the holes in the speech of Yu Yao’s father and brothers. Instead, he pretended to be ignorant and said, “Miss Yu is really cute. How could I think that she was rude?”
Yu Yao squeezed her way out from between Yu Heng and Yu Lang. Her face was still a little red as she pursed her lips and revealed an embarrassed smile to Qiao Lian. “Long time no see.”
The smile on Qiao Lian’s face instantly turned gentle. He said, “Long time no see.”
They looked at each other and, for some reason, began to laugh.
However, their gazes did not meet for long. They were not interrupted by Yu Lang or Yu Heng. In fact, they had not had the chance to get between Yu Yao and Qiao Lian.
The person who interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the young man and woman was Chen Lin. She had not spoken a word just now, nor had she greeted her children. She was pulled by Yu Hong and had been looking around. She was nervous about the gazes that were looking at her and kept sticking close to Yu Hong.
Yu Hong pulled Chen Lin and patted her back gently again and again. This action gave Chen Lin a sense of security. She was no longer nervous about the surroundings. She could finally divert her attention to observe the people who were communicating with her husband.
She recognized Yu Lang and Yu Heng at first. She was about to walk over and hug her two sons, whom she had not seen for a long time, when she saw another little girl burrow out from between her two children.
This scene seemed to have happened many times in Chen Lin’s dream.
When she was watering the plants in the garden, when she was cooking in the kitchen, when she was playing the piano in the piano room… she always felt that there would be a little girl who looked very similar to her that would mischievously sneak out from among the flowers, from the cupboard, and from behind the piano.
Then, the naughty and cute girl looked at her embarrassedly like every child who had gotten into trouble. She stood in front of her guiltily and confidently saying, “Mommy, I hid very well this time, didn’t I? You’ve been searching for so long but haven’t found me!”
Chen Lin’s tears immediately welled up. “Baby…”
