Chapter 23 Coexistence in one room (1/2)

Ye Sichen stopped.

The old lady with haggard face had white temples. She seemed ill but kind.

Seeing him stopped for her, she was so excited that she pushed the wheelchair over and reached out to hold his hands, “Wei Shi, my son! I know you are still alive. They all lied to me. All lied to me. I never believed them.”

She put his hand on her weathered face.

Without pushing the old lady away, Ye Sichen allowed her to do that. Looking at her with sorrow and grief emotions, He could not help but be touched.

Xia Nuan could not bear to disturb them in the moment.

“Sorry, sir. My aunt gets ill again and mistakes you for my cousin. I feel so sorry.” A middle-aged woman dressed in a simple way came over. She’s well aware of what happened and apologized to him. At the same time, she tried to persuade the old lady to loosen Ye Sichen.

The old lady, however, held his hands and refused to let him go.

“Wei Shi, is this your wife? When did you get married? Why didn’t you tell mom?” The old lady looked towards Xia Nuan amiably.

“I…”

Xia Nuan was about to tell the truth. But she swallowed her words under Ye Sichen’s indication.

He held the old lady’s hands in turn and knelt under her knees, “Mom, she is my wife. We come back to tell you that you’ve got not only a daughter-in-law, but also grandchildren.”

His voice was soft and refreshing. The smile on his face were as charming as the day in April.

Xia Nuan was completely overawed. Looking at Ye Sichen, she blushed.

Seeing him so sensible to her aunt, the woman could not help but cover up her mouth in grateful tears.

The old lady was pleasant, “Really? My God! I have a daughter-in-law! I have grandchildren!”

Ye Sichen pushed the wheelchair, approaching Xia Nuan. Xia Nuan awkwardly called her “mom”. The lady held Xia Nuan’s hands and looked at her pregnant belly, “Don’t be too tired. Take more rest! Wei Shi, you can make some nutritious food for her.”

“Sure, mom. I’ve been doing this all the time. You can rest assured.”

The old lady looked at the stroller again. Ye Sichen pulled the curtain aside, and saw that Wuyou and Nianci lay there asleep.

“The two babies are less than one year old, but her belly is so doubled. Wei Shi, you have to control yourself next time. You should not make her get pregnant so frequently. It may do harms to her body.” The old lady said to Ye Sichen motherly.

Xia Nuan’s face burned, so did Ye Sichen. “Thank you, mom.”

“Wei Shi, take your wife and babies back home. I want to make a meal for you. It would be too late if...” Her voice gradually lowered, holding Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan’s hands together. After that, her hands hung down weakly.

She closed her eyes and fainted.

Her niece whispered lightly, and then woke her up, “Wei Shi, go home with mom...”

The old lady’s niece wiped the tears and sucked her nose. She told Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan, “My aunt doesn’t have too much time left. She is either in a coma or conscious. Regardless of which condition, she always repeats my cousin’s name. Sorry to bother you.”

Ye Sichen asked her curiously, “Well, where is her son?”

“My cousin passed away more than 20 years ago. He was a soldier and died when he was sent to the western battlefield...”

Ye Sichen felt bad when he heard this.

Before they left, the old lady’s niece gave her aunt’s address to Ye Sichen, “I have to say that your appearance is very similar to my cousin. I don’t want my aunt to leave with regrets. In the past decades, I have been hiding the fact of my cousin’s death. I want to create a happy ending for her in her last days.”

On the way back, Ye Sichen kept in silence. And Xia Nuan knew that he was sympathetic to that old lady.

“How about meeting her tomorrow? Just follow this address.” Ye Sichen slipped suddenly.

Xia Nuan nodded, “Fine. It’s just, will you be available tomorrow?”

“There is no much time left for her. I will spare time to accompany her no matter how busy I am.” Ye Sichen sighed.

Seeing him so compassionate, Xia Nuan smiled and said viscerally, “Sir, that’s very kind of you.”

In the past, he seemed to be extremely cold and grim under the aura of “King of Music”. With their present intersection, she felt that his personality charm was more dazzling than that on the stage.

Ye Sichen smiled, “I’m just doing what I should do.”

It was already eight o’clock in the evening when they returned to the villa. They went to the bedroom, holding Wuyou and Nianci asleep.

Hui and Susan monitored every little detail about them and did not leave until Ye Sichen came out from the room.

The next day, Xia Nuan was awakened by a knock on the door. It was Bill who stood outside, “Xia Nuan, are you ready? Mr. Ye has been waiting for you in the car.”

His words aroused her memory that she should visit that old lady.

She put on her clothes and stuffed a pillow within it, seeming the same as yesterday.
