Chapter 1149 Sleepless Night
Once Raelle came down with Xiang Weimin, she found Shui Xian and walked up to his side. "Did you decide what we are eating?" asked Raelle.
"I have," replied Shui Xian. He turned to point at the table saying, "Go over there and sit with Bà and Opa. I'll be right there."
"Okay," agreed Raelle and went to the table he pointed at. "Good morning, Opa! Bà!"
Both looked up at Raelle and had a gentle smile on their faces as they said, "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"Perfect!" she replied. "My sleep quality is still very good. No worries."
"That's good to know," said Grandfather Xiang.
Raelle looked around and asked, "Where is everyone else?"
Just as she asked, Xiang Hulin came to sit at the table followed by Xiang Weimin. Then Xiang Wai also brought Zhai Yanjun to sit at the table with everyone else.
"Where is Chenchen?" asked Xiang Hulin. "I went to knock on her door but there was no response. I thought she came down but she doesn't seem to be there. Did anyone see her?"
"No," was everyone's response which worried Xiang Hulin.
"Where did she go? I should go and look for her."
"Sit down." came Grandfather Xiang's majestic voice. "Is Chenyan three years old?"
"No."
"Then why are you in a rush?"
"Because breakfast is her favorite meal of the day," said Xiang Hulin. He still knew this much about his own sister. "She doesn't miss breakfast. Especially, when the whole family is together. So, I find it a little odd."
"She is a grown-up and has her own ideas. Let her be," said Grandfather Xiang. Then he turned to Raelle, "Did Weimin talk to you?"
"Yes," she responded.
"And what is your idea?" asked Grandfather Xiang seriously. It obviously indicated that if Raelle had a different idea from the rest of the idea, this old man would still take her side. There was no way around it, who made Raelle his favorite? He was biased and he didn't feel sorry about that at all.
"I agree with everyone," said Raelle. "I wouldn't want to do something so unscrupulous like snatching the kid from his mother. It's better to put everything on the table and talk about it."
"And if talking doesn't solve problems?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Then I'm open to using other means that I see fit," replied Raelle. "However, I don't think we'll get there. So, take it easy. Let's wait for a few days."
"Why?"
"There is no rush, Opa," said Raelle. "Let's not corner her like this, okay?"
"As you say," agreed Grandfather Xiang immediately since Raelle was the one saying it.
let him sit down. Hyson didn't care about his curry favor look but didn't take the chair he pulled out. In fact, he pulled the chair "What are we talking about?" asked Hyson once he came over and yawned lazily. Zhai Yanjun actively pulled a chair for his brother and let him sit down. Hyson didn't care about his curry favor look but didn't take the chair he pulled out. In fact, he pulled the chair beside that and sat down.
On the other side, Xiang Wai gave her boyfriend a sour look which Zhai Yanjun noticed, and seeing her expression, he was enlightened. He smiled sheepishly and whispered, "I'll pull the chair for you too."
"I'm already sitting," she reminded him.
"Then we can't help it. You didn't even give me the chance to perform."
Xiang Wai shook her head at him and looked away.
"Have you seen your Yanyan?" asked Xiang Hulin.
"Nope," replied Hyson, and Xiang Hulin was discouraged. "However, I know where she is."
"Where?"
"Penthouse!"
This time Grandfather Xiang was also interested and asked, "The penthouse belongs to Xia Zhao. If she is in the penthouse. Does that mean..."
"Opa is smart," commented Hyson. "As expected of our family's old ginger."
"Speak properly!" came Raelle's voice.
"I was talking properly though," said Hyson. "Anyway, last night Yanyan was with Uncle Zhao and I also know that she didn't go out. As for what happened between them. I'm still a kid. I didn't try to find out."
Everyone gave a weird look to Hyson who wasn't embarrassed at all by this attention.
Grandfather Xiang smiled happily, "I'd be over the moon if something really happened. But I highly doubt it."
"Really?" asked Hyson. "Opa, a lonely man, and woman. Are you sure nothing happened?"
"Aren't you a kid? Why so curious?"
"Because kids are curious," retorted Hyson.
Raelle took the moment to say, "Uncle Zhao is a very principled person. So, Opa is right. Nothing must have happened.
"Uncle Zhao might be principled but can you say the same for Yanyan?" asked Hyson. "Anyway, I don't think there is anything that my Yanyan can't do." Not very surprisingly, this earned him a smack on the back of his head from his mother who came just now and listened to him talking nonsense about her best friend. "Mum!" Hyson felt wronged as he rubbed the back of his head.
'You're young. You have no right to say anything about Chenyan.'
"I'm just..." Hyson wanted to say something but gave up. "Forget it. It doesn't even matter." Then he hurriedly pulled a chair for his mother, "Mum, you sit here with me." Yue Yue ignored him and passed him. She sat down on the chair which Zhai Yanjun had pulled out for Hyson earlier and it was right beside Zhai Yanjun too. Seeing this operation, Hyson sighed, "Sure enough. I was the one picked up from the trash."
"If you don't stop talking. You'll be thrown in the trash again," said Raelle.
"It's okay. This time, bestie, you pick me up!"
"No way! I don't like dirty things."
Hyson put a hand on his heart, "Ouch! My Ellie just shot my heart."
"It's okay," said Shui Xian as he placed a bowl in front of Raelle. "You are already used to bleeding."
"Thanks for the support, Xian Ge!"
"You are most welcome, little Fai!"
Hyson sniffed, "You all are bullying me. I want my godmother."
"I don't think your godmother is gonna come to support you this morning, Hyson," said Raelle.
Hyson hmphed and went to get himself something to eat. As he passed by Amiah's table, he increased his pace and almost ran away from there. He wasn't scared of her. He just thought that seeing him might injure her broken heart even more so he should keep his distance as much as possible. When he came back, he looked at his mother and frowned, "Mum, you didn't rest well last night? Not used to the bed?"
Yue Yue waved her hand offhandedly. She didn't want to tell her son that it was because of her conversation with Zhai Kuijun last night that kept her awake most of the night. Especially when he told her that he wanted to pursue her. She was so taken aback that she ran away from there in disbelief and she was still in disbelief.
"What about you, Fai?" asked Grandfather Xiang. "Why do you look so tired and sleepy too?"
"Oh, I was admiring the moon last night," said Hyson. "So, I went to sleep quite late."
"That doesn't seem like something you'd do," said Xiang Weimin.
"Weimin Ge, you have a son. I also didn't think that was something you're capable of."
Xiang Weimin glared at him and Hyson stuck out his tongue at him.
"Xian, why didn't you call Amiah over?" asked Shui Koshing and Hyson froze when he heard that name and lowered his head in guilt.
"I did," said Shui Xian. "She said she'll eat with Sora and go back to sleep since she didn't sleep well last night."
"Why did everyone not sleep well last night?" asked Grandfather Xiang as he looked at Xiang Weimin, Yue Yue, Hyson, and now even Amiah. He didn't think the hotel's bed was so uncomfortable that no one was able to sleep properly. But he understood that it had more to do with their mental states than the hotel's unfamiliar environment. "You all are very careless about health. Sleep is very important. Don't compromise on it."
"Opa is right," agreed Raelle.
"Opa is always right," said Hyson.
"Do you have to jump in when I talk?" asked Raelle.
"Or maybe you always talk when I want to," retorted Hyson.
"It's definitely the other way around," said Raelle.
"I don't think so."
Grandfather Xiang tapped his hand on the table and both of them stopped talking. Once Raelle turned her face, she noticed Song Xin'ai also coming in for breakfast. She thought for a minute before she stood up and went over to her side. Everyone at the table followed her movement but no one stopped her at all.
It must be a joke. Who dared to question Raelle's decisions? They were all the people who would give in to her. How could they stop her from doing anything? Since she went to see Song Xin'ai, she must have something on her mind. So, all of them didn't comment on it and focused on the food in front of them.
