Chapter 1250: Beyond The Age Of Need For Maternal Love
Yuanyuan spoke lightly. He looked calm, without a single change of emotion in his eyes. Besides, he sounded like an adult as well.
Ye Hao frowned, casting a glance at Yuanyuan. There was doubt in his eyes.
“What’s the matter? Mo Ling…”
Ye Hao remembered that Yuanyuan would go to the castle from time to time on weekends and festivals. Today was Friday and tomorrow was the weekend. At this time, they came to pick up Yuanyuan. He specially asked the chef to cook more dishes.
Yuanyuan put on a faint smile, “Nothing. The homework is too much these days. In the evening, I also have a family tutor giving me private lessons, so I will not go to the castle.”
Yuanyuan refused with a suitable reason, without hesitation.
He grew up, no longer a child, also beyond the age of need for maternal love. The castle was the home of his mother, Uncle Ye and his sister, but not him. He was an outsider after all. Besides, he didn’t want to disturb his mother and Uncle Ye. He heard from Aunt Qin that her mother divorced Uncle Ye before largely because of him.
Now he no longer wanted his mother to be in conflict with Uncle Ye.
With great disbelief, He Xiyan looked at Yuanyuan, puzzled. She called her child almost every day, but had not heard Yuanyuan say that he had a private teacher to teach him on weekends. How could he have a class today?
“Mo Ling, do you want to go…”
He Xiyan was trying to ask something, but interrupted by Yuanyuan.
“Don’t think too much, mom. I have discussed with dad that I will go to high school in the United States. So dad invited a foreign teacher to teach me English, so that next year I will not have communication barriers.”
Yuanyuan said all this calmly. For him, it seemed a small thing to leave the place where he grew up and go to a strange country at the age of 13.
He Xiyan paused, eyebrows tightly fixed. Within a short period of time, her worry surged up.
She held Yuanyuan’s hands and said nervously, “Mo Ling, why haven’t you discussed that with me before? You’re only 13 next year!”
He wanted to pursue study abroad at the age of 13. How could she feel at ease? Besides, she had no friends or relatives in the United States, and her son would be helpless there. How could she be rest assured? What if her child was bullied, or developed bad habits with some bad guys?
Yuanyuan perceived the worry in her mother’s eyes. Then he patted her mother on the shoulder. “Well, mom, don’t worry about this. I can get used to life there.”
Instead of worrying about himself, Yuanyuan, on the contrary, was more worried about his mother, afraid that her mother would get wronged by the Ye family.
Ye Hao chimed in at this time, “Mo Ling, I have a lot of friends in the United States, and I also have seven to eight houses there. You can live there then. As for maids and chefs. I will help hire the most suitable ones from the local Chinese.”
Yuanyuan cast a faint look at Ye Hao without blinking, “No need!” He directly rejected Ye Hao’s proposal. He then said, “Well, my father will arrange that for me then.”
Yuanyuan didn’t want to accept Uncle Ye’s kindness or his help.
(Ye Hao)…
Ye Hao looked embarrassed. He gave a long exhale, feeling somewhat depressed at such a direct rejection. For quite a while, he didn’t say a single word.
Yuanyuan paused for a while, then said, “Uncle Ye, do remember what I have told you in the hospital last time?”
