Chapter 90 - Confront Shuang (2/2)

They said everything until now what they had discussed. Siying also mentioned how their plan to make them spend time alone failed.

”Mama and Dada looked strange! They weren't talking!” His eyes teared up. ”Will Mama and Dada really go away?”

Leina harrumphed. ”Oof! Don't give up! My Dada said that Mama loves him because he never gave up. So Mama fell in love with him.”

He sniffled. ”En... what do we do now?”

They seriously thought hard.

Leina's eyes sparkled. ”I got it! Picnic!”

Siying and Chyou were confused. ”What?”

”The teacher said that we are going on a picnic next week with our Mama and Dada! My Dada said that Mama and he also got closer because of a trip! So we will do something to make them lovey-dovey on our school picnic!”

Siying's small face bloomed in joy. Chyou fidgeted with her fingers. ”C-can I also do that to make my Mama and Dada lovey-dovey?”

If this trip was a hope to make Xinyi and Zhiyuan grow closer then she wanted to try this with Xiaosi and Caihong too. What if something changed between them and their family too could become happy like others?

Leina brightened. ”Yes! At this picnic, we will do something that will make them lovey-dovey for sure! This time we will not fail!”

The same evening at the Han villa, Siying hopped at his parent's side. ”Mama! Dada!”

They were still jittery around each other but as soon as Siying came, the atmosphere eased up.

Xinyi picked him up in her arms. ”My Siying looks so happy today? Did something good happen at kindergarten?”

”En! The teacher said that we have a picnic next week! And and! Everybody's Mama and Dada are also coming! Mama! We are going on a picnic!”

Zhiyuan paused from reading his file.

Picnic?

”Oh…” Xinyi's smile slightly faltered. ”That's really nice…”

Going on a picnic wasn't a problem, but she felt nervous about going with Zhiyuan.

Siying eagerly glanced between Xinyi and Zhiyuan. He couldn't wait for that day to arrive and execute their plan.

He ran to Zhiyuan's side. ”Dada! You will come too right! We will have lots of fun!”

Zhiyuan peeked at Xinyi. If possible, he would have made an excuse to miss the picnic. He knew how things were uncomfortable between them now and he didn't want to make it more awkward.

But on the other hand, Siying was excited and looking forward to this picnic. If he denied him, wouldn't he feel sad?

He ruffled his head. ”Of course…”

”Yayyy!!!”

”How many classes are a part of this picnic?”

”Leina and my class and Chyou's class!”

Xinyi and Zhiyuan stiffened.

So that meant Caihong and Xiaosi would be there too…

The atmosphere instantly turned gloomy and serious. Even now as he recalled Xiaosi's words and their confrontation, his blood boiled in anger. He clenched his fists.

Caihong…

How was she living with that man who assaulted her?

Siying said, ”I have to go now! I have a list to make about the picnic!” He dashed away.

Xinyi pursed her lips. Things would become once again complicated once they meet face to face on the picnic.

What if they get into a fight once again?

”Zhiyuan…”

He glanced at her.

”I know you are furious at Xiaosi for what happened but…”

”I know, Xinyi. I won't lose my calm on the picnic,” Zhiyuan said, ”Only for the kids, I will not do anything this time,” he clenched his fist.

She softly nodded.

She realized that things were still awkward between them. She quickly said, ”I will check if Siying needs my help.”

Zhiyuan watched her go, but he couldn't do anything to stop her. It was clear that Xinyi was hesitant to talk about the matter and he didn't know how long this awkwardness would last between them. It felt as if she was growing farther and farther away from him and that settled an uneasy feeling in his heart.

Xinyi…

He didn't want her to hate him, but it was clear that she was avoiding him. He didn't like the distance, but he didn't know what to do to bridge it.

Zhiyuan sighed and leaned back on the bed. For now, he had another thing to confront with Shuang.

He dialed her number. ”I want to meet you.”
