Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Shameless Woman
She turned and headed towards the door, "Well, aunt went out to take care of it. You may eat by yourself later and just leave the bowls and chopsticks on the table." She turned around and pointed at Liu Yu after having an epiphanic moment of thought. It's a secret between us, so don't tell him about it, the chamber signaled, with a shush gesture.
She continued to move forward when she was done speaking, but she had hardly taken a stride when a pair of strong hands grabbed her arms.
"Aunt, I'll accompany you."
He couldn't refuse since Qin Yun's eyes were fixed on him.
"No."
Without considering it, Yang Shumin shook her head and asked, "How could she take the child with her when the other party was associated with gangsters?"
"Listen to your aunt, Yunyun."
She switched to a soothing tone, possibly because she thought her previous one was too harsh.
"I will never let you go into danger alone, aunt. I heard it all. They had no good intentions at all, and they went to the KTV to discuss things. Aunt, I won't worry about you going alone."
Although Qin Yun has already created a rough plan in his head, it still requires their assistance. He has no idea if it will be successful, but he believes everything will work out in the end.
"Be submissive."
Yang Shumin fixed Qin Yun with her gaze and confronted her by adopting her mother's stance. He always listened to her, she was aware of that. But she calculated wrong this time. "Aunt said that we are a family, and family members should not run away at this time," Qin Yun said firmly while holding her arm.
As she agreed to Qin Yun, "fine, Yunyun will go too," Yang Shumin saw Qin Yun discussing this and clumsily held her forehead while feeling sweet inside.
"I'll protect Aunt. If anyone tries to bully her, they'll have to go through me," Qin Yun declared, raising his fists confidently.
Yang Shumin couldn't help but chuckle at his determination. "In today's harmonious society, we don't need such heroics," she said, giving Qin Yun a charming smile.
After their brief exchange, Yang Shumin gracefully walked over to the shoe cabinet. She adjusted her long skirt, which now hugged her curves snugly, and crouched slightly to put on her shoes. This position emphasized her shapely behind, and it was impossible for Qin Yun to ignore. He could even see the outline of her underwear through the tight white skirt, with a hint of black showing.
Qin Yun was momentarily stunned, his heart racing, but he quickly refocused. He put on his shoes without further distraction.
Yang Shumin then left a note for Liu Yu, gently held onto Qin Yun's arm, and they exited, leaving Liu Yu behind. As they left, hugging each other, Liu Yu felt a sense of despair wash over him.
He stood there for at least ten minutes, feeling numb and lost. When he finally made his way to the door, he realized he had missed his chance to follow them.
His frustration and confusion overwhelmed him, and he pounded loudly on the door, not caring about the pain in his hand. It was as if he needed an outlet for his inner turmoil.
"Qin Yun, you're something else," he muttered with a cold glint in his eyes.
He questioned himself, wondering if he was a bad person. Previously, he wouldn't have imagined this, considering his height, good looks, and sunny disposition. But now, with Qin Yun in the picture, he felt inferior and resentful. Qin Yun had become the class representative, moved into his home, and now appeared to be dating Yang Shumin behind his back.
"He's bad, a really bad person," Liu Yu concluded.
In his pain, Liu Yu couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching cry, activating the voice-activated lights in the dimly lit corridor.
He stood by the door for more than ten minutes, in a state resembling that of a zombie. But even zombies get hungry, and the smell of the delicious dishes, including crispy duck, Kung Pao chicken, and twice-cooked pork, wafting from the table tempted him.
Trying to console himself, he thought, "Mom still loves me." He made his way to the table, but his fleeting joy vanished when he saw the message board.
Overwhelmed by anger and frustration, Liu Yu swept all the dishes off the table, shouting, "Shameless woman!"
The plates shattered, food spilled all over the floor, and the once-warm dishes were now in ruins.
