Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Chapter Two-Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Returning Home (2/2)
“Young Master, you finally came home! Madam missed you so much!”
Straight away, Liang Han cupped Aunt Gui’s face and whined, “Only Mom missed me? You didn’t miss me, Auntie Gui? That really hurts. Since Auntie Gui doesn’t miss me, I’d better leave. I can see that I’m not wanted in this house!”
Tempered by her experience as the family’s housekeeper over the years, Auntie
Gui wasn’t at all susceptible to Liang Han’s little tricks. “Isn’t having the Madam miss you enough for you, Young Master?” she inquired. “Madam is going to be so heartbroken to hear that. I reckon she’ll be so sad that she can’t stay in this house anymore.”
Kong Zhen didn’t hesitate at all; she immediately slapped her thighs and howled, “Oh, dear Heavens, woe is me! Boo-hoo! My own son doesn’t care about me! What’s a mother to do?”
Liang Han facepalmed and rushed over to Kong Zhen. “Mom! My dear, sweet mom! Can we please stop acting? Your acting skills haven’t improved, but I see you’ve learned to rhyme your lines. I just got back; let me catch my breath, will you? Auntie Gui, can you get me something to drink? I’m dying of thirst!”
Kong Zhen reached out her hand and forcefully poked at Liang Han’s forehead.
“I might as well let you die of thirst, brat. You ungrateful thing, you!”
Liang Han accepted the abuse and replied, “Alright, okay, let me die of thirst. I’m a brat! I’m an ingrate; I fed my conscience to the dogs!”
Kong Zhen rolled her eyes at her son and harrumphed. Liang Han knew he couldn’t escape this and went with the flow. He sat on the chair beside his mother and watched Kong Zhen happily push the photos to him. She’d done this countless times before, and even her lines were the same as always: she enthusiastically said, “Take a look, son. These are a new batch of photos of girls that I’ve collected! ”
Liang Han wasn’t interested and uttered, “Mom! Can we change the topic?”
Kong Zhen agreed readily: “Alright, let’s talk about when you’ll give me a grandson.”
Liang Han covered his face with his hands. “Give me a break, Mom. If you keep on about this, I might just go and spend the rest of my life with Ye Kun.”
Kong Zhen froze for a moment before coming close to cautiously ask, “Son, is this you coming out?”
Liang Han looked at his mother in horror. Kong Zhen leaned back and said with some helplessness, regret, and sadness, “It’s fine if you want to come out of the closet. I can at least rest assured since your partner’s Ye Kun.. I just want to know, are you the catcher or the pitcher?”
