Chapter 429 - Find Me In The Middle (1/2)

Xu Mey already knew that her son was very mature for his age, but only today she realized that he seemed to have grown up to the point where he could even comfort his own mother. When she needed to be there for him, he was instead here for her. It left a conflicting feeling in her heart. As much as she was happy to hear those words from her son, she was also feeling sad in her heart.

”Little Bao, your food is here,” Ye Jun entered the room and announced in a loud voice.

”Uncle brought your food, go and eat it,” said Xu Mey as she urged him to go. ”I won't cry.” She reassured seeing his expression and only then did Bao went back to sit on the couch.

While Ye Jun opened the meal box for Bao, he asked in a low voice, ”What's the situation, Captain?”

Bao clicked his tongue, ”Situation is a little sensitive at the moment.”

”Oh...” Ye Jun passed the chopsticks to Bao and asked, ”Any suggestions to make it better?”

Bao looked in the direction of his father and shook his head, ”Commander said, it's better to let them deal with this on their own.” He looked back at his uncle as he added, ”Both my mom and dad needs to learn something from this situation.”

Ye Jun rubbed his head saying, ”Dear nephew, it's very difficult to tell what you're planning.” Bao shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly while he added, ”But I love that about you. I can already tell you'd be an amazing man in the future.”

”Are you saying, I'm not amazing right now?” questioned Bao.

”No no!” Ye Jun hurriedly shook his head. ”My nephew is still very awesome.” Then he turned to his brother and said, ”Bro, I'd be right back.” Jie nodded in reply and Ye Jun left the room.

While Bao was eating his meal, his eyes were stuck to his parents. After contemplating for a long while, Xu Mey trudged over to Jie's side and pulled a stool beside him. She held the edge of his coat as she tugged at it. Jie tried to ignore it but she continued. So, he had to look at her. However, he didn't speak a word.

”You won't even talk to me?” she asked.

Jie avoided looking into her eyes.
