Chapter 1275 Burn Of Temper
Following Raelle's words, Xiang Wai didn't say a word and just silently left with a foolish smile on her face. She stared at the flower in her hand in disbelief but even more than that what shocked her was that Raelle took the initiative to hold her hand. This shock was too much for Xiang Wai.
She couldn't find east, west, south, or north at the moment. It was even difficult to tell what was her own name right now. Zhai Yanjun snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, "Earth to Wai!"
Xiang Wai's eyes focused on him and she asked, "Huh? What? What happened?"
"I should ask you. Did you lose your soul?"
"Not yet, but I think if this happened once more, I might really lose my soul," replied Xiang Wai seriously.
"Oh? What really happened?" asked Zhai Yanjun curiously. "My sister actually held my hand," said Xiang Wai. "Can you believe it? Raelle Xiang held my hand and even shared her good luck with me."
Zhai Yanjun raised his brows when he heard that. "She did?"
"She did!"
"Wow! That's really a shocker."
"Isn't it? I'm still in disbelief," said Xiang Wai. "I couldn't even react when she held my hand. It felt so unreal."
"You gotta keep your excitement in check," said Zhai Yanjun. "I can't help it." Xiang Wai took deep breaths to really calm herself down and not get too excited over this or she might seem like a fool to everyone. Thinking of something, she looked at Zhai Yanjun, "Wait! When did you come?"
Zhai Yanjun gave her a look, "I can't believe it." He shook his head at her, "I came when you were wandering around in a daze with a foolish smile on your face."
Xiang Wai gave him a toothy grin to hide her embarrassment, "Sorry, I didn't notice."
"It's alright," Zhai Yanjun was very generous about this. It's not like he didn't know how much Xiang Wai to be accepted by Raelle. She was even willing to be a smaller person in front of Raelle as long as it meant that Raelle would give her a second glance.
And he knew why she was doing it too. Deep in her heart, she always felt guilty for ignoring the existence of Raelle's presence. Not only that, she was guilty of actually blaming Raelle for so long just because of her own problems. So, when she got to know Raelle, she always wanted to do something for her. However, there was hardly anything she could do for Raelle. After all, Raelle was a capable person on her own and even if she wasn't, there were plenty of people who were ready to offer their life to her. It wasn't Xiang Wai's turn.
"By the way, why did Raelle share her good luck with you?" asked Zhai Yanjun.
Xiang Wai was about to blurt out but held back at the last moment. "Oh, you don't need to know about that."
"Why? Why can't I know?"
"Yanjun!"
"Yes?"
"No questions."
Zhai Yanjun was very unconvinced but he didn't want to argue with his girlfriend either so he nodded in agreement reluctantly, "Fine. I won't ask questions." He paused before saying, "How about we go out on a date after this?"
"No," said Xiang Wai.
"Why?"
"Did you forget? We are going to our hometown. Originally, we planned to leave tomorrow but Grandpa wanted to go today. So, we all decided to leave at night. Tomorrow, we'll go to see Grandma and introduce her to all the new members of our family."
Zhai Yanjun nodded in understanding, "So, that's how it is. It means we can only spend this time together. When will you guys be back?"
"I'll come to see you when we come back," answered Xiang Wai. "If you are so reluctant to let me go, you can come with me. I'll take the chance to introduce you to my grandma too."
"I'd love to but I really can't take time off these days. It's a coincidence that today is my day off so I got to join you at this birthday party."
Xiang Wai sighed, "Fine. You get busy then. Forget it. We'll let you meet Grandma another time."
"Right. Justin should be the most important person this time."
"Actually..."
"What?" asked Zhai Yanjun.
"Technically speaking, all three of us siblings never went to see Grandma after her death. Raelle didn't go because Grandpa didn't allow her to and Ge and I were just..." She didn't know what to say. She was an irresponsible person and someone who wrongly blamed people. But not going to see her Grandma for so many years was something she couldn't find any excuse for.
Just because of her maternal Grandma's disgusting behavior, she slowly started to forget the kindness and warmth of her paternal Grandma. She turned into a very unlikable person. Now that she thought about it, she wondered how could someone even like a selfish person like her. She could only see her own problems and pain and nothing else beyond that.
She knew she hurt too many people because of these habits of hers. Including her own mother, her father, and even her own brother who always took the burn of her temper firsthand but never left her alone. Only recently, the memories of her paternal Grandma got a little clear again in her mind and that's when she realized what she had missed.
Zhai Yanjun held her hand in his own, "I know. You don't have to explain it to me. It'll be a very important day tomorrow then. Your grandma will get to see all her grandchildren together."
Xiang Wai nodded her head, "Although I don't know how to face her, I'd still love to go." She sighed to herself and said, "You haven't met the birthday boy yet, right? Come, I'll take you to see him."
"Okay," agreed Zhai Yanjun and followed her. He squeezed her hand and intertwined their fingers to hold her tightly.
