Chapter 1266 [Bonus chapter] Hand-In-Hand
"What happened? Who made you so mad?" Zhai Kuijun was actually surprised to see this reaction from Yue Yue. Because the Yue Yue he remembered didn't get easily angered. And it wasn't just his preconceived notion either. He had noticed how cool, delicate, easygoing, and elegant she still was. It was his first time seeing her so frustrated.
Yue Yue looked unhappy and typed on her phone for him, 'Isn't there only one person in the world capable of making me mad in this world?'
"Huh? Who is it? Who is this warrior?" asked Zhai Kuijun jokingly.
'Your son!'
"I believe you're talking about Yue Fai and not Zhai Yanjun, right?" he asked tentatively. "If it's Yanjun, I'll teach him a lesson for you but if it's Fai, I can't help you vent your anger. Sorry, I'm not that capable."
Yue Yue gave him a funny look and sighed helplessly. 'You really need to stop being scared of your own son.'
"I can't help it," said Zhai Kuijun. "I don't know what he looks like in your mind but in mine, he seems a little dangerous even though he looks the most harmless one in the family even surpassing Justin."
Yue Yue laughed silently at that but couldn't refute his words either. Her dearest son was indeed very cunning and looked way too harmless to society. "But don't let me get started on the way he speaks. I feel like he likes hurting people more than Raelle."
Yue Yue smiled bitterly at that, 'He doesn't like hurting people. It's his defense mechanism. Raelle ends up hurting people because of her honesty and her inability to distinguish between what is considered hurtful to people. But Fai has always done it with a purpose. He is very clear about what he wants. He hurts people before they can hurt him. He is too good at that. He can tell what will hurt the other person and he purposely chooses to say those things.'
Zhai Kuijun attentively read the words and contemplated deeply. He seemed to really want to know Hyson as he had been inquiring about him from everyone. Even a small detail about Hyson, he'd try to find out. However, the person who knew Hyson best was Raelle and he couldn't go and question Raelle. For one, Raelle wasn't an easy person to talk to. Second, Hyson was really precious to Raelle. And since Hyson considered him a familiar stranger at most, Raelle would give him the same treatment too. These best friends really knew how to stick together. He had to give them that.
"Why do you think he is like that?" asked Zhai Kuijun.
'Because he got hurt a lot by society when he was too young to bear that pain. It made him become what he is. Don't think he is friendly. In fact, he is most unfriendliest person in this family. Even surpassing Raelle. If it wasn't that he was fatefully attracted to Raelle back then, he might have lost himself in the darkness way sooner. It's not that he brought light to Raelle's world. She did the same for him. While he was trying to make her smile, he was also learning to laugh himself. This is why I always say, no one will ever be able to understand what kind of a connection Raelle and Fai have.'
Zhai Kuijun bit his lips thoughtfully and said, "It must have been very difficult back then."
'It was.' Yue Yue had a dazed look in her eyes for a while before she typed, 'But having a mother like me must have made it more difficult for him. I was supposed to protect him and even I didn't know he had been protecting me where I couldn't see at all. When I learned, I brought him to this city for a new start. That might have been the best decision of my life.'
Zhai Kuijun didn't ask for details because he knew she wouldn't elaborate more than that. But this was enough to show what kind of life they had lived back then. While he was looking for her back then, she was struggling to survive with their son. Whenever he thought it, it made him want to go and strangle Yue Lan to death.
If she wasn't the birth mother of Zhai Yanjun, he'd have really done that.
Yue Yue shook off all the bad memories and typed, 'Do you think Chenyan arrived there? I wonder what his reaction will be to see his godmother.' She looked very envious as she added, 'He must be happier than seeing me for sure.'
Zhai Kuijun smiled at her childish reaction and said, "You don't have to think like that. I know Fai loves you very much."
'You don't understand. He loves me. But more than that, he wants to protect me from everything. He does everything to make me happy. It's different when it comes to Chenyan. He becomes his real self around her. He gets to just focus on being big baby who is spoiled by his godmother to heaven. If I do more for him, he'd start feeling bad for making me work for him. But with Chenyan, he is happy to run wild.'
"You really envy her, eh? I can't blame you for that."
'What's there to envy? Chenyan still loves me more.'
Zhai Kuijun laughed at that and nodded his head, "Yes, yes. Chenyan loves her sister very much. Who doesn't know that? I think this news has already circulated in our circle too and it made a lot of people curious about this mysterious sister of Mu Chenyan who only appeared at the auction a while ago."
Yue Yue was shocked to hear that.
He pinched her cheek saying, "Yes. You're very famous in our circle right now." Yue Yue nervously rubbed her hands at the thought of seeing those people from their circle and Zhai Kuijun held her hand, "What are you worried about? You have two sons to stand behind you like knights. You had the best sister who stands in front of your as a shield. You have such a good adoptive father who is willing to shelter you from rain and wind."
'What about you?'
"Me? I'll stand beside you. Hand-in-hand. Is that okay?"
Yue Yue smiled at him and nodded her head heavily.
