Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 315 Do you have someone you like now?

The conversation between Yu Haitang and Yu Li flowed like a stream, until the midday sun shone through the window and sprinkled on the ground, forming mottled light and shadows.

The two were immersed in the topic when suddenly, He Yushui's voice was heard outside the door. She walked in briskly, interrupting their conversation.

Yu Haitang raised her head and smiled slightly, with an expectant light in her eyes. She nodded gently to Yu Li as a greeting, then stood up and walked towards He Yushui. Her movements were smooth and graceful, like a light butterfly flying through the flowers.

"Let's go, Yushui, let's go to your house for dinner." Yu Haitang's voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze. She gently patted He Yushui's shoulder, and the two walked out of the room side by side.

The third aunt had been sitting in the corner, silently observing the scene. Her eyes revealed a bit of confusion and curiosity. She looked at the backs of Yu Haitang and He Yushui leaving, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she turned around and looked at Yu Li with a probing expression on her face. "Why does your sister always go to the He family for dinner? Is there something going on?" There was a hint of tentativeness and curiosity in her voice.

After hearing what the third aunt said, Yu Li was slightly stunned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, trying to hide her discomfort with a relaxed tone.

"What's the big deal? Haitang and Yushui are colleagues and have a good relationship. Isn't it normal for them to have dinner together?" She smiled gently, but her smile was a little stiff. After she finished speaking, she saw that the third aunt seemed to want to continue asking questions, so she quickly changed the subject to avoid escalating the embarrassment.

"Mom, don't stand here, let's go eat, I'm hungry." Yu Li said, and then she pulled the third aunt to her room. As she walked, she turned her head and cast a look at Yan Jiecheng, indicating that he should talk about something else later and not mention this topic again.

Yan Bugui looked at Yu Li and the three aunts who came in one after the other, and then looked behind them. Seeing that Yu Haitang was not there, he asked curiously, "Where's Haitang? Isn't she going to eat?"

Yu Li's heart tightened slightly when she heard Yan Bugui's words, but she quickly regained her composure. She turned her head and looked at Yan Bugui with a faint smile on her face, and replied:

"Well, let's just eat and don't worry about her." There was a hint of helplessness in her tone, but more of it was acceptance of the current situation.

Yan Bugui was somewhat puzzled when he heard Yu Li's answer, but he did not think much about it. He nodded to show his understanding.

For him, having one less person to eat would indeed save a lot of food, and he was secretly happy in his heart. So he turned and walked to the dining table, ready to start enjoying lunch.

......

Yu Haitang followed He Yushui into the He family, her steps were a little nervous, and her fingers gently twisted the corners of her clothes. When she raised her head, she shyly glanced at He Yuzhu, and then quickly lowered her head, as if she was afraid that he would discover her inner uneasiness.

Then, she mustered up her courage and greeted He Daqing and He Yuzhu, her voice trembling slightly but still polite.

When He Daqing saw Yu Haitang, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, as if he had already regarded her as his future daughter-in-law. He warmly invited Yu Haitang to sit down and personally poured her a cup of tea.

He Yuzhu behaved relatively indifferently. He just smiled at Yu Haitang and turned to go to the kitchen to get some food.

He quickly placed the food in front of everyone, then sat quietly aside, listening to the conversation between He Yushui, Yu Haitang and He Daqing. His expression was as calm as water, but a hint of complex emotions occasionally flashed in his eyes.

At the dinner table, He Yushui and Yu Haitang were chatting happily, they laughed from time to time, while He Yuzhu just listened quietly, smiling occasionally. His eyes drifted towards Yu Haitang from time to time, as if observing her reaction.

After dinner, He Yushui followed He Daqing to visit Chang'an, leaving He Yuzhu and Yu Haitang alone. Yu Haitang looked at He Yuzhu, her heart pounding.

She felt that the atmosphere today was a little unusual, and she guessed that He Yuzhu might confess his feelings to her. She was both excited and a little nervous, not knowing whether she should agree directly or think about it.

She secretly glanced at He Yuzhu, and saw that he was also looking at her. Their eyes met in the air, as if there was an electric current flowing in the air. Yu Haitang's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look He Yuzhu in the eye again.

He Yuzhu looked deeply at Yu Haitang, who was shyly lowering her head. He coughed lightly, trying to make the atmosphere less tense. He spoke slowly, with a bit of sincerity and frankness in his voice:

"Haitang, you know, I just got divorced not long ago, and my mood has not yet completely calmed down. So, if I say that I can fall in love with you now, I must be lying to you."

He paused, as if weighing his next words. Then he continued, "But I also believe that feelings can be cultivated. I can't promise to fall in love with you right away, but I can promise you that I will do my best to try, to understand you, and to care about you."

When Yu Haitang heard this, her pale face turned even paler. She originally thought that He Yuzhu would reject her directly, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing.

She felt mixed emotions, mocking herself for her previous self-sentiment, yet also moved by He Yuzhu's sincerity.

She bit her lip, mustered up her courage, looked up at He Yuzhu with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes: "So you... do you have someone you like now? Or... are you still thinking about Liu Xiuxiu?" She asked the question she had always wanted to ask with difficulty.

He Yuzhu looked deeply into Yu Haitang's eyes, those bright eyes were full of nervousness and expectation. He felt her heartbeat, which seemed to be beating with his words.

"No, I don't have anyone I like right now." He Yuzhu's voice was firm and clear, without a trace of hesitation. He paused, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and continued:

"As for Liu Xiuxiu... we have divorced. I will respect her choice and hope she can live a happy life. But for me, the most important thing now is to face my future instead of dwelling on the memories of the past."
