Chapter 55：Danger awaiting (1/2)

Caihong glared at Shuang.

Shuang smiled. ”What's wrong? What are you afraid of? If you promised to teach him, then fulfill it. I mean Xinyi is also gonna teach Chyou some drawing skills, right?”

Xinyi smiled at Chyou and ruffled her head. ”Yes.”

Chyou's eyes sparkled. ”Yay!”

Things were surely complicated, but she didn't have the heart to refuse Chyou after she had seen her so happy drawing with her.

Shuang glanced at Caihong. ”See? So what are you running away from?”

Caihong stiffened. She bit her lip. ”I am not running away.”

”Then don't refuse him.”

Caihong scowled at her.

Can she not understand why I am doing this?

Shuang chuckled. ”A great philosopher once said that you cannot escape your fate which is bound to happen. It finds another way to reach you if you close one door.”

Meaning what will happen will happen. Refusing to teach Siying wouldn't change anything.

Caihong grimaced. ”Since when did you start saying philosophical stuff?”

”I always had that streak in me,” she shrugged.

Xinyi slowly said, ”It's okay, Caihong. You don't need to think so much. Whatever the situation might be, our kids have nothing to do with that.”

She looked at Zhiyuan. ”What do you think?”

Zhiyuan thought about it and softly whispered. ”I am fine with him visiting Caihong, but are you sure you won't get uncomfortable?”

Xinyi smiled and shook her head. ”Siying wants it. I don't want to see him sad. He really likes her too. There is nothing uncomfortable for me to feel in my son's happiness.”

Zhiyuan silently stared at her. His gaze seemed to be transfixed at her. His lips parted to say something, but then he heard Xiaosi's voice.

”What a touching scene. Caihong teaches Siying and Xinyi teaching Chyou. I never imagined this would happen. So lovely,” he laughed as he stood beside Caihong.

She uneasily shifted in her place and looked away.

”But Zhi, my dear friend, are you sure you want to leave Siying in our hands?” He amusingly smiled. ”Especially after last night?”

Caihong squinted his eyes at him and slightly moved Siying to her side in a protective stance.

Zhiyuan smiled back. ”We are leaving Siying in Caihong's hands, not yours. Xinyi and I are sure she will take good care of him, especially from you.”

Siying asked again, ”Aunty will you really not teach me?”

His saddened expression and slumped shoulders tugged her heartstrings. She had no qualms in rejecting Chyou's request, but she found it unable to shake him away.

”I will teach you. So, don't cry anymore.”

Siying was delighted. ”Mama! Aunty said she will teach me!”

Xinyi smiled. ”En.”

”Thank you, Aunty!”

Shuang yawned. ”Oh well, I am tired. I want to go home and hit the bed soon to get some nice sleep.”

She walked away, but then she suddenly stopped as if she remembered something important.

”Oh yes, Caihong and Zhiyuan. I need a favor from you two.”

They looked at her questioningly.

She said, ”When you meet me next time and if my Mom is also present, then try and act disappointed in me okay? Like super mad at me.”

They frowned.

Zhiyuan asked, ”Act angry at you? Why?”

Shuang shrugged. ”Well, my Mom had sent me on a mission to humiliate Caihong and...and…”
