Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Is He Okay?_1

"You two--sigh!" Jian Manhui really didn’t know what to say.

The two clearly loved each other to death, but too many people and things were getting in the way.

She really didn’t know whether to urge them to be together, or to tell them never to see each other again.

"Okay, let’s not talk about me anymore. What about you? Really no boyfriend?" Su Wanxia still found it hard to believe, after all, it had been so long, and Jian Manhui was fast approaching thirty, yet she hadn’t had even one boyfriend, which was truly unbelievable.

"Huh? Wanxia, do you really think I’m lying to you? I truly don’t have one, and besides, I think being single is quite nice. Why should I go looking for trouble? Dating is so tiring, and not to even mention marriage, look at Kang Xiaolan, she’s had one child after another..."

Whenever the topic of dating or marriage came up, Jian Manhui would show a look of utter disgust.

This time, it was Su Wanxia’s turn to be shocked, "Xiaolan had another one?"

Jian Manhui shook her head with extreme helplessness, "Yeah, another daughter. A son and a daughter, she’s over the moon."

Su Wanxia’s brows lifted in surprise, she hadn’t expected Kang Xiaolan to already have two children.

"Mommy, just like you, a son and a daughter..." Shanshan raised her little face from the cheese, speaking crisply.

"Cough--cough-cough-"

Jian Manhui had just taken a sip of coffee and was caught off guard by the little one’s words, her eyes brimming with tears.

Su Wanxia quickly handed her a napkin.

Jian Manhui, still coughing uncontrollably, took it.

After taking a deep breath, she finally raised her head to look across at the pair, one big, one small.

She said incredulously, "You have a son too?"

Su Wanxia was on the verge of laughter and tears, her lips pursed as she nodded.

"You have two kids?" Jian Manhui’s tone rose again.

Su Wanxia nodded again.

"But you’re not with Mu Yingchen, so how did you have them? Who’s the father?"

Su Wanxia looked to the sky in speechless frustration, her best friend’s brain seemed to have short-circuited.

"Sis, they’re twins, don’t tell me you don’t even have that common knowledge..."

After hearing her words, Jian Manhui suddenly slapped her forehead and blamed herself for her slow reaction because of all the commotion they caused.

"Where’s the child then? Why didn’t you bring him as well?" Jian Manhui complained.

"He’s at home with his great-grandfather--" Su Wanxia raised her hand to sip some coffee.

"Oh, I see." This time Jian Manhui fully understood, then she continued, "How did you have them? Two for one birth, if it were Kang Xiaolan, she’d probably be so smug she wouldn’t know her own last name."

Su Wanxia was torn between laughter and tears again. How was she supposed to know how she had them? At first, no one knew, only after she had rested in bed for a month and got checked did they find out she was just over two months pregnant.

"Xiaolan is having a good life." Su Wanxia couldn’t help but remark.

"Yeah, her days are certainly comfortable," replied Jian Manhui before suddenly recalling a question.

She looked at Su Wanxia somewhat sternly.

"The child--it’s better not to let his mother know."

As a lawyer, she knew the situation better than anyone else.

If Mu Yingchen’s mother were to find out about the existence of the two children, not only would there be a tough legal battle to fight, but it might also be that both children wouldn’t be able to stay with her.

Su Wanxia smiled faintly, then nodded.

The child, she had never intended to let his mother know.

But now, even if his mother found out, she wouldn’t give her the child.

Not to mention her unwillingness, just to say that her grandfather would never agree.

In fact, she wasn’t afraid of Mu Yingchen finding out because she believed that Mu Yingchen wouldn’t compete with her for the two children. The key issue was his mother; she didn’t want to have any more conflicts with his mother.

"Is he doing well?" Su Wanxia asked softly.

Jian Manhui frowned slightly and said in a conflicted tone, "How should I put it? In these few years, he has rarely shown his face, but according to Xiaolan, he seems to have reverted to his original cold and arrogant nature."

Su Wanxia’s eyelids drooped, "Is that so?"

"Mhm, I’m also not very clear about it. You know, I don’t really interact with them much. Xiaolan and the others know more."

"Hehe..." Su Wanxia smiled a little sadly.

"However, there are two pieces, um, of what I suppose are good news, that I’ll tell you," Jian Manhui said mysteriously.

"Oh? What good news?" Su Wanxia raised her eyebrows curiously.

"The first piece is that Yining and Ji Hua got engaged half a year ago--"

"Really?" Su Wanxia couldn’t help exclaiming in happiness.

This was indeed good news; Yining had finally caught her own happiness.

"Mhm, Ji Hua has really changed a lot now. He is utterly devoted to Yining," Jian Manhui said incredulously.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxia also widened her eyes in disbelief, never having expected Ji Hua to go to such lengths for Yining. It was worth the good words she had put in for him back then.

"And the other piece?" she couldn’t help but ask.

Jian Manhui hummed for a while, "Yirou is now with Mu Chuyang."

"Ah?" Su Wanxia was surprised.

"Are the two of them really together now?"

Jian Manhui nodded, "Yes, but they haven’t reached the stage of discussing marriage. They had a tiff recently, and Yirou even went to dig up her ex-boyfriend, which made Mu Chuyang mad to death."

Jian Manhui shook her head speechlessly as she spoke, "The two of them are good one minute and fighting the next. Ah, I just don’t get love. I thought about finding a boyfriend to see what it’s like, but after seeing them, I really don’t have the courage anymore."

Listening to this, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh and cry, not expecting Mu Chuyang to really end up with Yirou. However, with their personalities, they were really kind of—unyielding to each other, right?

But—"Manhui, dating is a matter between two people. What does how they are have to do with you? You find your own boyfriend, why look at them?"

"How does it have nothing to do with me? Isn’t dating all the same? In love, it’s earth-shattering, in a fight, it’s heaven-overturning... Just thinking about it scares me!"

Su Wanxia was speechless, "Manhui, sometimes I wonder if you’re maybe not straight..."

"Mommy... what does ’sexual orientation’ mean?" Shanshan asked curiously from the side.

Su Wanxia and Jian Man both had their heads full of black lines.

Su Wanxia was even more helpless, having spoken too excitedly and momentarily forgetting that Shanshan could understand adult conversation, and she was very thorough in asking about anything she didn’t understand.

Amen, it seems you really need to be careful with your words in front of children.

"Well, Shanshan, sweetheart, mommy and auntie are talking about adult things. When you grow up a little more, mommy will tell you, okay?"

Shanshan pursed her little mouth and nodded obediently, sweetly saying, "Okay then."

But in her heart, she whispered to herself: When I see Uncle Ran again, I must ask him what ’sexual orientation’ means; it sounds quite interesting.
