Chapter 185: 185 Fearful

Chen Xu’s cousin’s son’s full-month celebration was set for the evening, and most of the relatives would be there. However, distributing gifts there would steal the limelight from the hosts. Such actions could breed resentment and should be avoided.

So, after breakfast, Chen Xu drove with Luo Xiyun, visiting all the relatives who still lived in their hometown and delivered gifts to everyone, from the elders to the newborn infants.

This caused quite a stir.

The elders who received the gifts were a bit surprised and repeatedly asked the two of them, “Are you guys getting married?”

This made Luo Xiyun blush deeply.

They spent the whole morning running around; by noon, they had finished delivering gifts to all the nearby relatives. For those doing business outside, they shipped the gifts via courier after confirming their addresses through WeChat.

At the courier service, Chen Xu filled out over thirty courier forms until his hand was sore. In the end, the shipping costs amounted to several hundred.

“Finally done.”

Chen Xu stood up, and Luo Xiyun, with a tissue in hand, meticulously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The few men waiting for their parcels at the courier were spellbound by her gesture.

Chen Xu noticed the gazes around him but didn’t mind. Since he started dating Luo Xiyun, he had gotten used to such attention.

Luo Xiyun appeared slightly apologetic. “I didn’t realize it would be so troublesome. Had I known, I wouldn’t have bought the gifts.”

“It’s the thought that counts,” Chen Xu responded with a smile. “Now, all the relatives know that I have a girlfriend who is beautiful, incredibly wealthy, and very generous.”

Just then, his phone rang. He checked it and said, “Look, it’s my second aunt again, asking if I’m getting married.”

“Why not just go with the flow and actually get married?” he suggested lightheartedly.

Blushing, Luo Xiyun replied, “Wishful thinking. Don’t forget, you haven’t passed my test yet. You’re still just a potential boyfriend.”

Chen Xu nodded, contented, “Well, at least there’s progress. Successfully promoted to potential boyfriend.”

“Enough talk. We still have two more gifts to deliver in the car. Let’s hurry.”

The two got into the car, with Chen Xu driving. “Last stops are Grandma’s and Third Aunt’s. It’s 2:30 now; we can have some tea at Grandma’s and still return on time.”

Visiting Grandma didn’t bring him any anxiety. Before their return, he had called Grandma and Third Aunt to explain the situation, asking them not to mention Yang Jinxia, and they had agreed.

Half an hour later, they arrived.

At home, it was just Grandma and Third Aunt. Grandpa was no longer around, and usually, Grandma lived alone. The uncles and aunts, worried for her, had arranged to take turns staying with her each month.

But everyone was busy, and only Third Aunt, having more free time, was left to care for her, with the others contributing financially.

Now, Third Aunt was with Grandma all year round.

After Chen Xu introduced them, Luo Xiyun handed over the gifts.

Grandma was reluctant to accept, saying, “Oh dear, this is all turned around; you should be getting gifts from me, not the other way around.”

Third Aunt took the gift and placed it in her hands, saying, “It’s the young people’s kindness. Please accept it.”

With that, Grandma finally took it.

“Come, Xiyun, have some tea,” Third Aunt had already prepared the tea, her face beaming with a warm smile. “You are so thoughtful, preparing so many gifts. Just by your demeanor, one can tell you are well-educated and courteous. Chen Xu is lucky to have caught your attention.”

Luo Xiyun sat next to Chen Xu, a bit shyly saying, “Not at all, his willingness to be with me is my luck.”

Third Aunt saw the blush on her face and the shy look in her eyes—she couldn’t completely hide her deep affection and it almost mesmerized her.

She couldn’t help but glance at Chen Xu, marveling to herself. First was Yang Jinxia before the Spring Festival, now this Luo Xiyun. Both girls, regardless of their looks or demeanor, were unlike any she had seen before. Moreover, judging from their attire, their family backgrounds were extraordinary. How could they both be so deeply in love with this nephew of hers?

The four of them sat and chatted for a while, and then Chen Xu seeing that it was about time, said, “Grandma, Third Aunt, I have to go. Tonight, I need to attend my cousin’s son’s first-month celebration.”

Third Aunt stood up and said, “Alright, then be careful driving.”

“Wait, don’t leave yet, I have something for you.” Grandma said as she stood up and went into the room, coming out with two items. She handed one to Luo Xiyun. “This is for you. It’s nothing expensive, just keep it.”

The other item she handed over to Chen Xu, “This is the charger you left here over New Year.”

“I didn’t, I took my charger with me—” Chen Xu was interrupted mid-sentence as he suddenly stopped, coughed lightly, and said, “Um, Grandma, you must be mistaken, it belongs to someone else.”

Grandma said, “No mistake, during the New Year period, it was only you and a few of your uncles who came back. I asked them, and it’s not theirs.”

Third Aunt had already realized and was about to speak when Luo Xiyun said, “Let me see.”

With that, she took the charger, looked at it, and said, “This really isn’t his. It’s a charger for an Apple phone, he doesn’t use this type. It must belong to the girl who came with him.”

Grandma suddenly understood, “That must be it.”

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Internally, Chen Xu sighed. He knew he couldn’t blame Grandma. Her mind wasn’t as sharp due to her age, and it was normal for her to slip up. But Luo Xiyun’s intuition was just too sharp.

“Let’s go.”

Eventually, it was Luo Xiyun who spoke first. Before leaving, she even said goodbye, “Grandma, Third Aunt, goodbye.”

After they had driven away, Third Aunt sighed, “Xiao Yang before, and now Xiao Luo, both are no ordinary girls. I wonder where Chen Xu met them.”

By then, Grandma also knew she had misspoken and was somewhat worried, “It’s all my fault, Xiao Xu even reminded me. What should we do now? I hope they don’t argue too much.”

Third Aunt comforted her, saying, “It’s fine, young couples’ quarrels are normal. I think Xiao Luo is quite forgiving; she won’t dwell on it too much. After all, it’s all in the past.”

…

While driving, Chen Xu observed Luo Xiyun’s expression, seeing her impassive face gave him a headache.

For some reason, he dared not tell her about Yang Jinxia.

Imagine if she knew what kind of woman Yang Jinxia was, and that he was the one being pursued. Wouldn’t she start having certain suspicions?

He might even expose his biggest secret.

Because he felt guilty, he dared not explain many things, which only made him seem guiltier.

“So, you brought her to meet your Grandma?” Luo Xiyun finally spoke, her tone revealing neither happiness nor anger.

Chen Xu braced himself and said, “Yes. But, my parents really haven’t met her.”

After a while, she suddenly said softly, “Do you think I am being unreasonable? You have already broken up with her, and I am still angry about her.”

Without waiting for Chen Xu to reply, she continued, “But I just feel uncomfortable, I just feel angry. We met first, we were together first. I have always been waiting for you. How could you be with another woman?”

Chen Xu was immediately at a loss for words.
