"Don't dislike him." Tang Yue snuggled quietly in his arms, earnestly saying, "If he really comes, we should be very, very happy to welcome him." Tang Yue was even somewhat looking forward to it; having a child wouldn't be a bad thing—it would be her child of two lifetimes. The couple returned home sweetly entwined, but as soon as they opened the courtyard gate, Tang Yue felt a void in her heart. In the next moment, Meng Siyu began fighting with someone in the yard, so fast that Tang Yue was completely dumbfounded. Tang Yue stared at the person fighting with Meng Siyu, tall and thin, looking oddly familiar. Also, why is this person in their home? Tang Yue watched them bewildered, knowing Meng Siyu was skilled was one thing, but witnessing it firsthand made her heart couldn't help but flutter. "Stop fighting!" Tang Yue remembered who the familiar person was, she said, "Gu Chun, what are you doing at my house?" "Isn't your house in the alley?" Gu Chun was very surprised; he didn't expect that randomly choosing a house would turn out to be Tang Yue's home. As soon as Meng Siyu recognized him, he and Gu Chun consciously stopped fighting. Meng Siyu stood next to Tang Yue, asking with his eyes—who is this person? Just upon entering the yard, he smelled a faint scent of blood in the air, and instantly shielded Tang Yue behind him and confronted the man, only to be surprised that Tang Yue knew him. The man in front looked lean and gaunt, but his features were still very good except being frighteningly thin. "I just got married; this is my husband, Meng Siyu." Tang Yue introduced him, not knowing why she felt even seeing Gu Chun for the second time that he seemed trustworthy. Her mind flashed with Aunt Lian's gorgeous appearance; in her thirties, but never married because of Gu Chun, a man she decisively waited for couldn't possibly be a bad person, right? Gu Chun's gaze fell on Meng Siyu's sturdy figure; even though he wasn't wearing a white shirt, the brief skirmish still gave him that impression of Meng Siyu. "Yes." Meng Siyu didn't deny it, his penetrating gaze landing on Gu Chun as he counter-asked, "Shouldn't we have a talk?" "Don't even think about leaving." Meng Siyu's eyes swept towards Gu Chun's abdomen and legs, stating: "You're injured, you're no match for me." The faint smell of blood earlier and the slight delay in Gu Chun's movements during their skirmish clued Meng Siyu in on his injuries. "Although I don't know why you're avoiding Aunt Lian, you're hurt, and It might be safer if Si Yu helps with your wounds before you leave," Tang Yue said, then turned and headed to the pharmacy at the end of the alley to buy some common medications. If it were in the alley, they would have medicine at home, but in the new house, they hadn't prepared any. Tang Yue ran quickly, returning soon with a bag of medicine for external injuries. In the living room, Gu Chun and Meng Siyu sat opposite each other, seeming not quite cordial. "Xiao Yue, go into the room," Meng Siyu ushered her away. Tang Yue moved her lips but didn't say more. She pressed her ear against the door, but couldn't hear the slightest sound. Tang Yue simply stopped listening; sitting in the room, restlessly wishing she could contact Lian Tong immediately. Unfortunately, the phone was in the living room, and she had no chance to use it. After who knows how long, hearing someone leaving, she opened the door and saw Meng Siyu coming in. "How is he? Is his injury severe? Did he leave?" Tang Yue bombarded him with a series of questions, walking to the living room, seeing nothing but the trash from changing bandages and the medicine she bought— all gone. If it weren't for just confirming she had seen someone, she would have thought it was all a dream. This update is available on novel-fire.net "The injury was not serious, he has already left." Meng Siyu replied as he pulled Tang Yue aside to examine her carefully, asking, "Did you get hurt just now?" Tang Yue was organizing her thoughts, but Meng Siyu had already pushed her into the bathroom to take a shower. "You, you're taking advantage of me," Tang Yue helplessly looked at Meng Siyu, who claimed he was checking, but in reality, he was taking advantage of her under this pretense. "Wife, haven't I seen every inch of you?" Meng Siyu wrapped her in a bath towel, wishing he could devour her during the examination, but thinking of her physical condition, he decided to let her off for the night. Meng Siyu hugged her while drying her hair, he asked, "What is Gu Chun's relation to Aunt Lian?" "Aunt Lian's awaited person," Tang Yue replied, sharing what she knew with Meng Siyu, and then said, "I'll make a phone call." "No need, Gu Chun left a place name when he departed." As soon as Meng Siyu's words concluded, Tang Yue jumped up. At Yaju Restaurant, Tang Yue changed into casual clothes and upon entering, she saw Lian Tong drinking alone. Compared to the stunning coldness of their first encounter, Lian Tong now resembled someone drowning sorrows in alcohol. "Aunt Lian." Tang Yue stepped forward quickly, snatching the wine bottle from Lian Tong's hand, saying, "Aunt Lian, you can't drink anymore." Lian Tong's face was flushed with a drunken red, and her eyes looked hazy as if she was drunk. "Xiao Yue?" Lian Tong was very surprised when she saw Tang Yue, pulling her along and saying, "Come, Xiao Yue, keep Aunt Lian company for a drink." Tang Yue flatly refused, "Aunt Lian, it's not safe for you to drink here alone, come on, let me take you home." As soon as Lian Tong mentioned home, she couldn't hold back her tears and said, "Xiao Yue, Aunt has no home, Aunt has no home now." There was a visible desolation and sadness in Lian Tong's eyes. Lian Tong seldom returned to the Lian Family's home; every time she visited, the elder would bring up the topic of marriage, making it hard for her to visit even a few times a year. Apart from Lian Qingyang, no one else mattered much to Lian Tong. If it weren't for the elder, she probably wouldn't go back at all. Home, where was her home? "Xiao Yue, I know you are a good girl, not like Qingqing who is two-faced. Don't worry, I will always look out for you. Come, join me for a drink." Lian Tong, reeking of alcohol, persisted in trying to drink with Tang Yue, and the more she drank, the more charming she became; even Tang Yue, being a girl herself, felt startled and anxious. Tang Yue wasn't sure when Gu Chun had seen Aunt Lian. Could it be that these past years, Gu Chun was in hiding, watching her from places Aunt Lian couldn't see? Tang Yue guessed this and asked, "Aunt Lian, have you found Gu Chun?" "Don't mention that name." Lian Tong suddenly said loudly, continuing to drink heavily. Tang Yue snatched the bottle away, saying, "Aunt Lian, please stop drinking."
