“Let’s go!” The Sixth Sister, resolute, pulled her younger sister along, leaving no room for refusal.
How audacious of her to get angry at Big Sister for an outsider! She deserved to be taught a lesson.
Curiosity piqued, Zhou Yan inquired after the departure of the two girls. “Who is Xiao Ya?” she asked.
“She’s my niece, my little sister’s good friend. Her stepmother gave her away some time ago. The adoptive family was working in our county. After adopting Xiao Ya, they returned to the capital. Hengyang and I went to the capital this time to visit the little girl,” Su Wen explained briefly, surprising Zhou Yan. “Xiao Ya’s adoptive parent is called Song Jingxian?” Zhou Yan questioned.
“Yeah!”
“Do you know where she lives in the capital?”
“I know.”
Su Wen shared the address she was heading to, and Zhou Yan realized it was the same Song Jingxian she knew. The world’s vastness brought about unexpected connections, and it seemed like fate.
“Aunt, do you know Song Jingxian?” Zhou Yan asked.
“I don’t know her, but your little uncle does.”
Zhou Yan, glancing mysteriously outside the door, shared, “I heard that she’s your uncle’s childhood friend. They were very close when they were young.”
“Really?” Su Wen was incredulous. “The age is not right either. Song Jingxian looks like she’s only in her thirties.”
Zhou Yan smirked, “That’s why it’s suspicious. Without any wrongdoing, why would a young man in his prime bring a girl along?”
Su Wen was left speechless. Did Little Aunt think everyone was a child bride?
“Why are you looking at me with that expression?” Zhou Yan rolled her eyes at Su Wen. “Don’t doubt me. Let me tell you, the address you mentioned is just across the road from Old Xu’s residence. There are many influential people there. Usually, some young ladies would want to go there.”
“Does that include you, Auntie?” Su Wen teased.
“When your little aunt was young, she did not lack suitors. What I regret the most is that I got married early and had children early. I didn’t have the chance to have fun,” sighed Zhou Yan. “Wenwen, let me tell you! It’s fine if you get married early as you don’t have a choice. There’s nothing we can do about it because of our family issue. However, we can’t give birth too early. Listen to Little Aunt…”
Zhou Yan was interrupted as Zhou Hengyang, tall and stern, appeared outside the door. Crossing his arms, his gaze sharp, he confronted Auntie about what was said.
“No, I didn’t say anything. Hmm? I think your Little Uncle called me just now. I’ll go over for a while. If the two of you have something to say, say it behind closed doors,” Zhou Yan quickly excused herself and fled.
Zhou Hengyang shut the door and approached Su Wen. Pinching her chin forcefully, he demanded, “What are you thinking about?” His voice was cold, clearly in a bad mood.
“I… I suddenly remembered that we forgot about contraception,” Su Wen confessed. Love’s depth had overshadowed practical concerns, but now, under his aunt’s reminder, the realization hit her..
