Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1098: Would You Believe Me?

"What?" Qin Yu was shocked. "Seriously? You and Uncle have never fought like this before!"     

Liang Jiahao, who had been silent all this time, frowned and asked calmly, "Zixuan, is Han Yuanjun bullying you?"     

"I can't say that he bullied me." Liang Zixuan was always upfront with Qin Yu and Liang Jiahao, so she didn't hide it, "It's just that he doesn't like his own child and doesn't visit him when he comes home from work. How many times he has carried Yingzhe can be counted on one hand."     

Qin Yu quickly asked, "What about you? How did Uncle treat you before the fight? Does he still spoil you like he used to?"     

Liang Zixuan had never suspected Han Yuanjun before. She felt that Han Yingzhe was the cause of the conflict between her and him.     

And Liang Zixuan was never unreasonable when she was angry, and she was not a person who only cared about hurting her opponent.     

"He was good to me, just like before."     

"Weird." Qin Yu touched her chin as she stared into the distance. A moment later, she raised her gaze and looked at Liang Zixuan uncertainly. "Auntie, has Uncle done anything strange lately? My uncle isn't someone who doesn't like children. He really likes children! Not to mention that this is his child with you."     

Speaking of this, Liang Zixuan became sad. She let out a long sigh as tears welled up in her eyes. "I don't know. I just don't think he likes Yingzhe. If he was as cold to me as he was to Yingzhe, I might have suspected something, but it wasn't like that. He was good to me before the fight, but now..."     

"That's enough." Liang Jiahao really couldn't bear to see Liang Zixuan's sad look. As her own brother, how could he let his sister suffer and cry in front of him?     

No brother could bear to see his sister's tears!     

"I will ask Han Yuanjun about this."     

Qin Yu nodded. "You two are men. It's easier for you two to talk to each other. Uncle will be home soon. Xiao Liang, you pull him outside and ask him calmly."     

As Qin Yu said this, Han Yuanjun walked in with the car keys in his hand.     

Qin Yu immediately winked at Liang Jiahao. Liang Jiahao stood up and walked towards Han Yuanjun. "Han Yuanjun, let's talk!"     

Qin Yu: "..."     

Hadn't she told him to ask calmly?     

Han Yuanjun looked at Liang Zixuan and threw the car keys on the cabinet in front of the entrance. "Mhmm."     

The two men didn't enter the house. Instead, they got out and made their way to the garden.     

After they left, Qin Yu still tried to persuade Liang Zixuan. "Auntie, I think as long as Uncle is still good to you, there will be no problems in your relationship. As for Yingzhe..."     

Qin Yu giggled foolishly. "It's not my place to talk about this, but his behavior is really too strange! He loves to cry too much. I'm not saying I don't like your child, I just... It's just that he likes to cry a lot, so I really..."     

Qin Yu didn't dare to say that she didn't like Han Yingzhe because she was afraid of hurting Liang Zixuan's heart.     

Liang Zixuan nodded. "I know, I understand. His behavior isn't very pleasant. It's normal for all of you to dislike him."     

"So ..." Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief, "I think that's also why Uncle doesn't want to host the Hundred Day Feast. Just think about it, when the Hundred Day Feast is held, you will bring Yingzhe out to meet everyone. How many people would want to hug him later on, but this child would cry as soon as someone touched him! When that happened, the guests wouldn't say anything outwardly, but they would definitely say something about his bad temper."     

"I guess Uncle just wants to wait until Yingzhe grows up a bit. For example, when he's a year old, he won't cry so much, and then you can bring him out to meet people."         

Liang Zixuan focused her gaze on Qin Yu. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Qin Yu's words made a lot of sense.     

• • • •     

In the garden, Liang Jiahao took out a cigarette and handed it to Han Yuanjun.     

Han Yuanjun leaned against a large tree and took the cigarette nonchalantly.     

Liang Jiahao lit Han Yuanjun's cigarette and then lit his own. They both inhaled deeply and blew a large amount of smoke out of their mouths in unison.     

"Han Yuanjun, I heard from Zixuan that you don't want to host the Hundred Days Feast for Yingzhe?" Liang Jiahao went straight to the point without so much as a word of greeting.     

Han Yuanjun put one hand in his pocket while holding his cigarette with the other. His eyes looked very far away. "Hmm, no."     

Liang Jiahao took another drag from his cigarette and followed Han Yuanjun's gaze. In front of them was a field of fragrant lotus flowers planted on the side of the road. It was Liang Zixuan's favorite flower.     

He chuckled. "Everything has a reason, doesn't it? What's the reason?"     

Han Yuanjun lowered his eyelids, stared at the tip of his shoes, and laughed softly. "If I said I did it for Zixuan's good, would you believe me?"     

Han Yuanjun never lied, especially to Liang Jiahao.     

And Liang Jiahao never doubted Han Yuanjun's words.     

Either Han Yuanjun didn't tell the truth, or it was the truth.     

Liang Jiahao shook off the ash at the end of his cigarette and said calmly, "For Zixuan's sake? Can you tell me what it is?"     

Han Yuanjun pursed his lips and smiled bitterly. "Big brother, you know how I feel about Zixuan. No matter what I do or how incomprehensible it is, my original intention is for her. I can't tell you why now, but I hope you can trust me. "     

The cigarette in Liang Jiahao's hand burned up. He raised his hand and flicked his index finger. The cigarette drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell right into the trash can beside him.     

Seeing that, Han Yuanjun followed suit and flicked the cigarette in his hand. With a "whoosh", the cigarette fell next to the trash can.     

He shook his head helplessly. "I've been smoking less lately, my skills have gotten worse."     

Liang Jiahao chuckled and patted Han Yuanjun's shoulder. "Hurry up and throw it in the trash! It's not good to hurt the grass."     

Han Yuanjun looked back at Liang Jiahao gloomily and picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.     

Although they didn't talk much, Liang Jiahao already had a general idea of what was going on.     

Seeing that Han Yuanjun had no intention of returning to continue the conversation, Liang Jiahao chased after him.     

When he was only one step away from Han Yuanjun, he suddenly put his hand on Han Yuanjun's shoulder. "I trust you. Leave Zixuan to me and Qin Yu."     

Liang Zixuan didn't need to wait for Liang Jiahao to return to wake up. Qin Yu had already explained everything to her.     

When Han Yuanjun and Liang Jiahao returned to the villa, Liang Zixuan had already handed Han Yingzhe over to the babysitter. She was happily chatting with Qin Yu, Qin Shanyuan, and Liang Jiaying.         

When Liang Zixuan saw Han Yuanjun and Liang Jiahao, she immediately stood up and walked toward them. "Why is there a smell of smoke? Are you two smoking?"
