Chapter 394 - We Survived (1/2)

”She has always been low-key about her identity. Wedding and similar things, she would prefer them to be high-profile but with time, her preferences changed,'' Jun Zixuan answered her patiently, noticing the curiosity in her eyes. In fact, it was not with time, it was because of her death that Yu Mei got clearer on many things and more importantly, what she wanted in her life and he was aware of that.

''Since how long do you know her?”

''It has been years…'' Jun Zixuan thought about the first time he saw her and a small smile played on his lips.

Han Suyin did not miss the smile on his face and she asked, ''Ah Xuan, tell me, how has her life been? Did she go through a lot…?''

''Not much. We survived.''

Both Jun Zixuan and Han Suyin turned towards the source of the voice.

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow while Han Suyin was a bit confused looking at the person standing at the entrance. She recognized him with a single glance. He was the President of Amaranthine and it was not her first time seeing him. She had seen him in tabloids and news but it was her first time seeing him up so close in person. There was something familiar about him but at the same time, he was completely unfamiliar to her.

Han Jian Yu stood at the entrance for a few seconds before he thrust one of his hands in his pocket and walked towards them, ''Long time no see, Aunt,'' He glanced at the woman who once asked him to call her Mom, who has always ever showered him with all the kindness and love that he lacked.

It was as if… as if someone nailed Han Suyin to her place. She could not move neither could she speak. She only stared at him blankly. Something stirred inside her heart and it took her a long time to recover her senses, ''…J-Jian Yu?” The whisper left her mouth, her voice was uncertain.

''It's me,'' Han Jian Yu smiled as he nodded.

Han Suyin's lips parted but no words came out of it. Whether Han Jian Yu was alive or not….was a big question that she had, that she wanted to ask and to know. But she was afraid of the answer and it scared her if she will come to know that he…. Han Suyin closed her eyes for a moment before she stood up, ''I never thought you were always in front of us,'' After they moved to Beijing, the Han Family has rarely ever paid attention to the any matters in Amaranthine.

''That's because I didn't want any of you to know…'' Han Jian Yu replied with a straight face.

Han Suyin's did not mind this tone though but instead of offending her, that tone of his brought tears in her eyes. He had always talked to people in this tone, even when he was just 7. She was used to this, ''I-I thought I…I have lost the both of you…'' She placed her palm on his cheek, her fingers slightly trembled, ''You have grown up well… I missed you all these years,'' Her voice was shaky.

Han Jian Yu hugged her as he patted her back quietly, without saying anything else.

Jun Zixuan quietly sat on the couch, a slightly suspicious look remained in his eyes. It was good that they reunited but given that Han Jian Yu had wanted to stay away from the Han Family, he did not have to show up here to meet them willingly unless… he did not know that they were here when he came.
