"You know him?"
“We don’t really know each other. Regarding that Kim Geun-joon incident, we’re definitely going to investigate all the nepotism involved. I’m off to work now. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything.”
It was only a few steps from the road to Jiang Xuanya's yard, but the prosecutor treated him like a little kid who couldn't even walk. She got out of the car to unbuckle his seatbelt, took his hand, and led him to Jiang Xuanya's door before getting back into the car. She didn't drive away until someone opened the door and led him inside.
"Good morning, Xiao Chunan. Did you make plans to hang out with Xuan Ya today? That lazy girl stayed up late watching movies in the living room last night and is still sleeping in."
The voluptuous and beautiful married woman, Lee Hyun-eun, gave Chu Yinan a soft hug, overjoyed by his arrival.
There was no reservation for the visit, and there were no conditions for it to happen. Chu Yinan couldn't even make a phone call to Jiang Xuanya.
"No, if Sister Xuanya hasn't gotten up yet, I'll go for a walk outside first, and then come back later." Chu Yinan was already relieved to know that Jiang Xuanya was home.
The young woman with long, wavy hair pinched Chu Yinan's cheek and said sternly, "..."
"Why be so formal? Make yourself at home. Come and sit with your aunt for a while. Have you had breakfast?"
Previously, Chu Yinan thought it was normal for others to be enthusiastic and kind, but now he gradually began to suspect what kind of inner driving force was behind this enthusiasm, and whether there was a hidden idea of using him as a tool.
He knew that such suspicion was disrespectful to others' goodwill, but Chu Yinan couldn't control the spread of these thoughts. Wei's departure had planted a seed of unease in his heart.
"Little Chunan? Are you still asleep? Why are you spacing out?" Li Xuanen squatted down, looking at him with concern, and pressed her forehead against his to check his temperature.
"I've already eaten. I was just lost in thought."
Chu Yinan couldn't hide his emotions, and Li Xuan'en noticed his slight dejection.
"You were daydreaming so early in the morning, you must have been playing around like your sister Xuan Ya last night and didn't go to bed until very late, right? How about we go chat in Aunt Xuan En's room and get some sleep first?"
Chu Yinan thought to herself that she hadn't gone to bed very late last night, but she had taken a long time to get out of the bathroom, and the water in the bathtub had gotten cold.
There was no way around it; the ingredients in that bone-strengthening soup were indeed plentiful, with no skimping on anything. Chu Yinan was even worried that he hadn't gotten enough calcium and had instead lost a lot of protein.
"I'm not sleepy."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Chunan isn't sleepy, but Aunt Xuanen is. Shall we go to the bedroom and wait for Xuan Ya to wake up?"
And so, Chu Yinan, who had just gotten out of the prosecutor's sister's bed not long ago, is now lying in another man's wife's bed.
He suddenly remembered that Aunt Hyun-eun's emotional experience was also quite unfortunate. Her husband was dishonest and had previously used her position at the time to gain a foothold in the company. After he succeeded, he cut off Aunt Hyun-eun's path to pursuing her dreams.
Chu Yinan didn't ask about Mr. Jiang's situation after the Kim Geun-jun incident; it was not a good idea to ask such a question. She only knew that he was no longer on the island.
But now he was curious about Aunt Hyun-eun's thoughts; Chu Yinan wanted to know how adults handled such matters.
"Aunt Hyun-eun, may I ask you some rather sensitive questions?"
Chapter 9 Overwhelming Passion
Lee Hyun-eun's bedroom doesn't resemble the master bedroom. The ceiling is covered with understated starry sky wallpaper, and the room's decor is predominantly dark blue. The light yellow bed stands out slightly in the middle, yet it resembles a cloud-shaped bed.
This seems to have been renovated later; at least when Chu Yinan last visited, the bedrooms here were decorated in a standard modern style.
Chu Yinan lay on the soft bed and asked Li Xuanen about her marital and emotional experiences.
This was like bringing up a sore spot, but fortunately, Lee Hyun-eun didn't show any obvious dislike, which relieved Chu Yinan.
Lee Hyun-eun, being an experienced person, knew that Chu Yinan's little head was probably troubled by something, so she patiently explained:
“My situation cannot be used as a reference. In fact, you can use all things related to emotions as examples to be mindful, but you should never use them as a reference to deal with your own situation. Emotions are very complicated.”
"understood."
Chu Yinan nodded and looked up at the charming married woman beside him. Her wavy hair was dyed, with a slightly mature brown hue, exuding a gentle yet sexy charm.
"Looking back now, I realize that when I married my husband, I did have some ulterior motives, but before that, I probably also had some goodwill from the 'young bird effect'."
When the term "husband" is mentioned, it should be a respectful term of address, but in Lee Hyun-eun's mouth, it is only a playful self-deprecation.
Chu Yinan was familiar with the "baby bird effect," which states that baby birds tend to rely on the first person they see after birth as their mother. Applying this to the workplace, a newcomer to a new environment often develops a strong affinity for the first mentor or mentor they encounter.
It sounds simple, but the specifics are actually quite complex.
"How about baby birds?"
"Has Xiao Chunan ever joined any departments or clubs?"
"No."
Lee Hyun-eun hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"When I starred in that Ultraman show you like, I wasn't particularly famous; I was just starting to gain popularity. My husband was someone who took special care of me in the production team. At that time, I had no one to rely on and no independent voice, so I subconsciously felt a bit of affection and dependence on him."
Now that I've come to my senses, it wasn't really romantic love. I was just young and didn't understand things back then, and I also wanted to get more scripts, so I thought being with him would be a good choice.
When Lee Hyun-eun confided in him last time, she was somewhat agitated, feeling more indignant and resentful that her career had been ruined.
This time, however, the outpouring was made after a period of calm and self-reflection. It was less impulsive and more about reflecting on the lessons learned from one's failed life.
Even she herself didn't expect that the person she confided in both times was this little guy. Lee Hyun-eun was even thinking that she would summarize it properly and leave it to Hyun-ah as a life lesson.
"So Aunt Hyun-eun's husband has a reason to take advantage of your position, and Aunt Hyun-eun also wants to use his resources?"
"Yes, that's how marriages without an emotional foundation are. It's more about who loses their usefulness first. Aunt Hyun-eun didn't figure that out before, so she could only helplessly stay at home to raise her child and find amusement in cooking."
Actually, I think relationships are always about mutual benefit. Someone has to receive emotional support from you before they can reciprocate. This applies even without considering material things. Only within families might there be a situation where one party gives more than the other.
Chu Yinan pondered Aunt Hyun's words. Didn't this mean that sometimes you just have to suffer in silence, and it's just a matter of whether you can accept it?
Hearing the grand principles didn't relieve Chu Yinan's worries, but the calm demeanor of the mature and beautiful woman holding him did affect him.
Realizing he'd been talking about his own affairs, Chu Yinan felt a little embarrassed. He tentatively asked about the aftermath of Mr. Jiang's case. If it wasn't completely resolved, Chu Yinan thought he could help Aunt Hyun-eun by getting AI Sister to lend a hand.
"Is Aunt Hyun-eun divorced now? Is that wicked guy still bullying you?"
Lee Hyun-eun kept looking at the little boy in her arms, watching the change in his expression from "confused" to "serious," and smiled gently:
"You're so concerned about Aunt HyunEun's affairs, huh?"
"Yes, Aunt Hyun-eun, don't be afraid of him, I can back you up!"
“I was planning to get a divorce, but that guy has been expelled from the artificial island, so we can't sign the divorce papers without seeing each other. We contacted each other once before, and he didn't want to get a divorce, afraid that he would be left with nothing because of his bad behavior. I can only say that I am lucky that my premarital money was kept by my family and is not considered joint property. Now I don't care about his few stinking coins. I am just thankful that he is not secretly in debt and owing money to me.”
The voluptuous woman shook her head regretfully, feeling sorry that she hadn't been able to leave.
Marriage is a relationship that involves many aspects, and being tied to someone with a bad reputation will always be unpleasant.
Chu Yinan figured that Aunt Xuanen probably couldn't get rid of this marital relationship for the time being. She could only wait until they were separated for a few years to establish the facts of the divorce before filing a lawsuit to try to confirm the divorce.
It's so easy to get married, but so hard to get divorced.
"Alright, let's not talk about these complicated and annoying things anymore. Little Chunan isn't at the age to think about these things yet. Right now, he should be having fun. What would you like to eat for lunch, Little Chunan? You'll be staying here for lunch, right? What about dinner?"
Chu Yinan planned to finish her business in the morning and leave at noon. Since the blind date was over, what was the point of staying?
This is just like when a certain Nalan Yan went to Xiao's house to break off their engagement. Xiao was furious and shouted "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years later!" But after Nalan finished, she asked if she could have an extra pair of chopsticks so she could get a free meal.
Who the hell are you?
Chu Yinan was self-aware enough, but it wasn't convenient to tell Aunt Xuan En about this relationship right now, since she had just been his life mentor for the night!
"Did your Aunt Liu not let you stay for lunch again? Don't worry, I'll just call her and let her know, it's nothing~"
Upon hearing Aunt Hyun-eun say she was going to call Aunt Liu, Chu Yinan said in a panic:
"No! Don't call Aunt Liu!"
Hmm? Something's up!
Lee Hyun-eun immediately realized that the little guy must have had a conflict with his family. He used to be quite close to Yan Liu, so if he was arguing with his sister, he wouldn't not want to talk to Yan Liu on the phone. It was more likely that the person he was arguing with was Yan Liu.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Lee Hyun-eun knew exactly what to do.
She rolled over, pinning the little one beneath her, and asked worriedly:
"Tell Aunt Hyun-eun what happened, and I'll help you sort it out. You haven't come to visit in ages, what's wrong with having lunch?"
Chapter 10 The Feeling Is Wrong
"It's hard to say. I need to discuss it with Sister Xuanya before I can say anything. Besides, I think there might be some minor disagreements after we discuss it, so as for dinner..." Chu Yinan said with difficulty.
This made Lee Hyun-eun very curious. This little guy didn't seem to be the type to deliberately create conflict. Why would he insist on doing it even though he knew there would be discord?
However, she also knew how to keep her distance. There were some things that others didn't really want to ask about, so she didn't delve into them. Anyway, the truth would be revealed in just one morning.
Lee Hyun-eun had originally planned to play with the little one in the bedroom for a while before waking Xuan-ya up, but now it seems she has to wake her up first to see what's going on.
"It's alright, but we should still leave the meal for you. If there's any conflict, I can talk to you. You've only eaten here once before, and it's not easy for you to come all this way. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Lee Hyun-eun looked at the little boy beneath her, half of his face no longer on her breasts. She propped herself up on her arms and lifted herself up slightly, her full breasts swaying and trembling.
Faced with the overwhelming enthusiasm of his married aunt, Chu Yinan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"A light and simple soup is fine, but not any nourishing soups. I can't eat those; it would be a bit awkward if I did."
Embarrassing? Could it be that I'm too weak and will get a nosebleed?
This usually happens when you eat too much nourishing food, and when you're already weak, you need even more nourishment. I'll go ask around later if there's any light nourishing soup available.
Lee Hyun-eun tentatively agreed:
"Okay, then I'll take you to wake Xuan Ya up first. It's almost eight o'clock and she's still not up."
----------
"Xuanya, wake up." Li Xuanen led Xiao Chunan into her daughter's room. The cold air hit them in the face, and Li Xuanen couldn't help but shiver. She turned down the air conditioner temperature.
Hmm, I can tell. This is a lady who likes the polar sleeping style. She's even wilder than Chu Yinan when it's hot.
Hearing her mother's call, Jiang Xuanya remained unmoved, her whole body huddled under the thick quilt, not even wanting to show too much of her head. She looked very cold, but in fact, she was sleeping quite comfortably. This experience was like eating hot pot with the air conditioning on in the summer.
"It's the weekend, let me sleep a little longer. I don't have any workout plans today."
"Xiao Chunan came to your house to play, and you just stayed asleep all by yourself?"
Xiao Chunan?
Jiang Xuanya woke up, but not fully awake. This was mainly because Xiao Chunan had rarely come to play with her before. Her groggy mind was still processing this information, but after thinking about it for a while, she fell asleep again.
Lee Hyun-eun sighed, touched Chu Yinan's cheek, pointed at Jiang Xuanya, and gestured for the little one to wake her up herself. Lee Hyun-eun then left the room to buy ingredients for lunch.
Chu Yinan stood alone in Jiang Xuanya's room, unsure whether to call her or not. Some people are grumpy when they wake up, and Chu Yinan didn't want to ruin the mood before they even started discussing things.
He looked around the room. Jiang Xuanya's room had also been rearranged, but the overall style was similar to before. The only changes were the placement of the bed, desk, and other items, and some girly decorations had been added.
