CHAPTER 1517: CHAPTER 1518: WHEN WILL YOU COME BACK

After speaking, Wei Qingshan strode out, humming a tune.

You brought the well-fed Liang Xinyue to the living room at this moment and said to Wei Yingyue, "Only thirty thousand makes him this happy. It seems your family has strict upbringing. This kid seems to have his finances tightly controlled on a regular basis."

Placing her phone on a thick novel titled "Raising Foxes for Trouble," Wei Yingyue looked at you and said, "This is my grandfather’s intention. Although our family isn’t exceedingly rich, at least we don’t worry about food and clothing. Therefore, in such an environment, if a child doesn’t strive to be ambitious on his own, it’s easy to squander away what he has, even destroying the foundation built by his father."

"I agree with that. No matter what, Qingshan is a lot better than those good-for-nothing rich second generation or red second generation."

Wei Yingyue smiled without speaking. In truth, Wei Qingshan is quite lazy by nature, and expecting him to be ambitious is in itself a luxury. However, his character is good; he’s always been law-abiding, living the life of an ordinary student, never boasting about his family background, which makes him quite unique in their circle.

At this moment, Liang Xinyue tugged at your sleeve and signed a string of gestures to you: "Thank you, Brother, I’m full."

You affectionately reached out to touch Liang Xinyue’s head. Hugging her, you sat down on the sofa to watch TV, switching to a discovery channel, following the host into the Indochina Tropical Rainforest.

At this moment, the only sound in the living room is from the TV. It wasn’t loud, and in such a spacious living room, it seemed rather quiet.

After sitting down, Wei Yingyue picked up her tablet to work. She ran a finance and investment company, and much work can be done online through a computer. When Wei Yingyue set the tablet aside and exhaled lightly, stretching out her arm from fatigue, she noticed it was very quiet around her. When she turned to look, she realized that the big and the small one had fallen asleep.

Liang Xinyue curled up in your arms like a little kitten, having fallen into a deep sleep. She appeared even more peaceful asleep, naturally evoking a sense of endearment. As for you, due to your tall stature, your head couldn’t rest on the back of the sofa, so you had to slightly tilt your head, yet you had fallen asleep.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yingyue felt an inexplicable sense of sweet happiness welling up inside her.

Sleeping, you seemed to have let down all your defenses, appearing very much like a big child.

Looking at you, Wei Yingyue’s mind returned to the encounter under the ruins, her exquisite face blushing with a subtle ripple.

The next morning, after Wei Yingyue finished washing and left her room, ready to wake Liang Xinyue, she found Liang Xinyue’s quilt had been neatly folded, and the room was spotless.

Wei Yingyue smiled slightly and turned to go downstairs, only to see Liang Xinyue carrying a tray of white bread out of the kitchen with her little hands.

"Xiao Xiao, come back in and take these two boiled eggs outside," your voice came from the kitchen.

Wei Yingyue went downstairs and found you just coming out with a casserole.

"You’re awake? I was going to ask Xiao Xiao to wake you."

This simple sentence seemed like a thin layer of happiness, immediately enveloping Wei Yingyue, making her momentarily dazed.

Wei Yingyue had been quite independent since childhood, although her parents were harmonious, they hadn’t achieved the deep connection like an ordinary husband and wife. Her parents met through a blind date and got married within two months.

Her mother came from an aristocratic family, while her father, influenced by her grandfather from an early age, approached everything from a broader perspective and rarely considered her mother’s feelings.

The two completely different personalities didn’t spark much. Only a plain affection and a bland family life remained.

Later, as her father ventured into business, he became increasingly busy, and conversations with her mother dwindled. Wei Yingyue never saw her father do any thoughtful thing for her mother, gradually changing her mindset.

During her life, many outwardly excellent men pursued Wei Yingyue, but it was only superficial. Towards these men, Wei Yingyue felt no interest, eventually even reaching a point of aversion, once pessimistically thinking she might spend the rest of her life in this manner.

"Instead of scraping through life like you do, it’s better to live a plain single life, at least having no unrealistic expectations from another."

This was what Wei Yingyue said when her mother, Li Mengjun, hinted that she should find a boyfriend. Li Mengjun was speechless for quite a while.

When you appeared, Wei Yingyue likewise felt no emotion towards you, even reluctantly agreeing with her father and grandfather to cohabit with you was merely a temporary measure. Later, she planned to drive you out within a week or to buy another apartment to separate.

However, she didn’t expect you to disappear just like that, and no matter how resourceful her grandfather was, there was no news, which stirred a strange feeling in Wei Yingyue’s heart.

Wei Yingyue was quite confident about her own conditions, but she was puzzled why you would give up on something many elite men considered an opportunity.

The subsequent encounter made Wei Yingyue understand a little, though just a bit. She still couldn’t see through you entirely. Yet, the more it was so, the more an impulse arose inside her, wanting to get closer to you, to understand your true heart.

"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" You waved your hand before Wei Yingyue’s face.

Wei Yingyue quickly came back to her senses and to cover her awkwardness, asked, "Just now you called Little Xiao Yue ’Xiao Xiao,’ the name is quite unique."

"The three characters ’Little Xiao Yue’ sound awkward. Xiao Xiao was originally Liang Zi’s nickname, which I gave him. Now, I’m giving it to Xinyue unchanged."

Liang Xinyue, like her brother Liang Zi, is not tall. Although they are both still growing, compared to peers, she indeed is half a head shorter. Calling her "Xiao Xiao" doesn’t carry any derogatory meaning, instead, it seems rather cute.

At this moment, Liang Xinyue walked over and signed a string of gestures to you: "Thank you, Brother, I really like it."

Wei Yingyue mimicked your action and gently stroked Liang Xinyue’s head, smiling, "Since Xiao Xiao likes it, let’s call her that from now on."

Breakfast was vegetable congee, deliberately prepared for Wei Yingyue by you, equally light but with a deep sense of warmth, making Wei Yingyue feel warm-hearted.

Halfway through the meal, you looked at Wei Yingyue and said, "I have to leave."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingyue visibly hesitated. Despite knowing yesterday that you would leave today, she hadn’t expected it to be this early.
