Chapter 1207: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (2)


“We have both been through it all and have our past. The woman I loved has pa.s.sed away and you’ve been divorced for years, so why can’t we build our own happy family?”


Xia Yehua replied without having to think twice, “But everyone’s talking—”


“What does it matter what other people say? Have you forgotten? When I was young, I went through a bad patch where people were saying things and you scolded me. You said that I shouldn’t punish myself for other people’s mistakes. If people wanted to talk nonsense then let them, it wouldn’t kill me! But when it comes to you, why don’t you have the same wisdom?”


Xia Yehua was stumped.


“So don’t use what other people might say as an excuse.”


Xia Yehua started again, “I—”


“Yehua, we know each other so well, I know how you feel about me. So don’t lie to me and say that you have no feelings for me. We get along well when it comes to our personalities and interests. Let’s be together.”


Xia Yehua replied, “… We can’t.”


“Why?”


“I don’t wish to get married right now.”


Uncle Li paused and asked, “Then when do you wish to get married?”


Xia Yehua bit her lip and tried to gloss over the matter, “In another six years.”


“Ok, then I’ll wait another six years and propose again.”


At that point, Shen Liangchuan could see that it was obvious his mother was just trying to avoid it.


She actually didn’t want to be together with Uncle Li.


Even though she liked him, as long as she had not mended her relations.h.i.+p with Shen Zihao, she wouldn’t be able to bring herself to get married and upset him.


Shen Liangchuan knew that in another six years, their affections would have faded somewhat.


Uncle Li would likely have found some other woman and wouldn’t be waiting for Mom still.


He knew too that this was what his mother was thinking, she didn’t want them to hold each other up.


But it had been so many years and Shen Liangchuan realized that up till now Uncle Li had not remarried.


After that episode six years ago, it had indeed been quite awkward for the two of them whenever they saw each other.


Hence in the last six years, they had seen less of each other.


As Shen Liangchuan was contemplating the situation, Qiao Lian nudged him on the arm. Snapping back to the present, he noted that Qiao Lian was nodding towards the living room and pointing her chin at the two downstairs.


Xia Yehua was then heard saying, “No way, we are already so old, there’s no point in getting married. Isn’t it good how we are now?”


“What is so good about this? I’m constantly thinking of being together with you.”


Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.


This Uncle Li was good with women.


She quickly looked up and grimaced when she saw Shen Liangchuan and Shen Zihao.


At once her face turned beet red, a completely different shade from her usually fair skin, which now looked like a monkey’s b.u.t.t. She quickly said, “You, you- Hus.h.!.+ I’m telling you, the kids are here so if you speak nonsense here again, you- you- You better believe that I’ll get someone to kick you out of this place!”


Uncle Li immediately nodded and said, “Ok, fine, I’ll ask again when there’s no one around.”


Xia Yehua was flabbergasted.


Was that the point?


This Li Mao, he always missed the point.


She grimaced again and for a moment, there was a hint of a smile on her face that she couldn’t have realized herself.


Then she heard Uncle Li say, “Oh, right, I heard that Liangchuan’s wife is pregnant? So I bought a chicken from the market on my way here. Let’s boil that and she can have a soup later.”
