Chapter 628: Chapter 628: I Have a Boyfriend
Li Yufei was somewhat surprised and said, "Did you hear the content of the phone call just now?"
Junjun said, "I heard a little."
He has always been a delicate and sensitive child, so just hearing Guan Yue’s phone call, he could roughly guess the content.
Including the usual meetings with Guan Yue, he could also feel Guan Yue’s possessiveness towards Du Shaoheng.
This is also one of the reasons why he rarely took the initiative to contact Du Shaoheng. Unless it was something particularly important that only his dad could handle, he wouldn’t easily disturb his father’s life.
Li Yufei sighed, raised her hand, and gently ruffled his hair, "Junjun, you’re too sensible. Mom knows that you consider your dad a lot, but Mom is also afraid that you’ll feel wronged."
Junjun said, "Not at all. I don’t feel wronged. After all, when mom and dad divorced, they each have their own lives, and they should be well on their own."
He looked up at Li Yufei, "The one who feels wronged is mom. It’s for my sake that mom has to face this kind of situation repeatedly."
Li Yufei said, "Mom doesn’t feel wronged."
Just a bit regretful.
A bit.
Li Yufei took Junjun’s hand and walked into the restaurant.
The mother and son occupied a large private room, quietly finished dinner, and then went home.
At night.
Li Yufei finished her bath and just walked out of the bathroom when the phone on the bed started vibrating.
She walked over, glanced at it, and the note on the screen showed it was a call from Guan Yue.
This late at night...
Why is she suddenly calling her?
Could it be because of watching a movie with Du Shaoheng today and coming to "make an accusation"?
Li Yufei frowned.
She thought Guan Yue wouldn’t be so petty.
Li Yufei answered the phone and gently said, "Hello."
Guan Yue said, "Yufei, are you asleep? I hope I’m not disturbing you."
Li Yufei laughed, "Good thing I’m not asleep yet, otherwise, if I got woken up by your call, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight."
Guan Yue was momentarily at a loss for words, awkwardly laughed, "Sorry... I’ve been thinking about it and decided to call you."
Li Yufei sat down by the bed, rubbing her damp hair while casually lighting a cigarette and slowly exhaled smoke, "So, what’s up?"
Listening to Guan Yue’s tone, it didn’t seem to be anything important.
Guan Yue said, "Tonight, Shaoheng was supposed to have dinner with you guys, but because he was in a hurry to come back and accompany me, he didn’t get to have dinner with you and Junjun, I feel quite guilty about it."
Li Yufei gently held the cigarette, her slender fingers lightly flicked the ash, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, "There’s no need to feel guilty. Tonight, Junjun and I had dinner together, and we went home after eating, the two of us had a good meal."
Guan Yue said, "Ah, I just feel guilty! It’s rare for Shaoheng to have a chance to watch a movie with Junjun. It’s rare for the father and son to spend time together. Every night he’s with Xixi and me, but indeed, he rarely gets to spend time with Junjun alone. And just like this... because of my call, it ended up feeling a bit unpleasant..."
Li Yufei sighed.
She said, "Guan Yue, I don’t know what you said to Shaoheng on the phone. Today, Shaoheng and I simply agreed to take the two kids out to watch a movie. I didn’t know you weren’t there."
Compared to Guan Yue’s evasiveness, Li Yufei chose to clarify proactively.
Guan Yue said, "It’s all Shaoheng’s fault for not making it clear to me beforehand."
Li Yufei said, "I thought he’d tell you clearly. Maybe there was a slight communication issue. Guan Yue, actually Shaoheng really values you, so there’s no need for you to be so sensitive. In his heart, you have an irreplaceable position. So there’s no need to be overly anxious."
Guan Yue was suddenly silent.
Li Yufei didn’t beat around the bush, directly addressing her underlying concerns.
Guan Yue insinuated and asked, "Yufei, there’s actually something that’s been bothering me for a long time, and I’ve been wanting to ask, but I really don’t know how to bring it up."
Li Yufei asked, "What is it?"
Guan Yue, "You’ve been divorced for quite a while. You should be out of the shadow of the divorce, right!"
Li Yufei, "Yes."
Guan Yue, "Have you thought about how you want to live in the future? You don’t really plan to be alone for the rest of your life, do you?"
Li Yufei could hear Guan Yue’s concern about her personal life.
Li Yufei, "It’s kind of you to worry about me so much."
Guan Yue, "It’s not really about worrying for you, Yufei. You’re a very exceptional woman, but, you know, as exceptional as a woman might be, living alone can be quite lonely. Junjun is already eleven years old, you should consider more about your own life."
Li Yufei, "Guan Yue..."
Guan Yue, "You know, every time Shaoheng, you, and I take the kids out, I feel so bad for you when I see you all by yourself. Yufei, what if I introduce you to someone? I know an uncle whose son just returned from studying in the United States. He’s young, talented, comes from a good family, has a high degree, and is a true gentleman. He matches you quite well! But... I’m just afraid, because you’re divorced, they might have some concerns! But, I think, since he studied abroad and received open western education, he probably won’t worry about such trivial things. Despite your remarriage, your excellence shines through; I’m sure he’ll be impressed with you!"
With Guan Yue’s words being so blunt, if Li Yufei still couldn’t understand the underlying message, she would truly be clueless.
She just smiled calmly and said, "Guan Yue, actually, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you and Shaoheng. Um... I have someone."
This time, it was Guan Yue’s turn to be dumbfounded.
She stunned and said, "When did this happen?"
Li Yufei said, "Um... it’s not very stable yet, it’s been about three months!"
Li Yufei made up a story, knowing Guan Yue’s sensitive nature and unreasonable worries. Since Du Shaoheng was unwell, she didn’t want him to be troubled by Guan Yue’s tiny worries, so she simply calmed her concerns this way, "If nothing unexpected happens, the person I’m seeing... we’re dating with the intention of marriage. If everything goes well, I think... he would be the man who accompanies me for the rest of my life."
Guan Yue said in surprise, "Gosh! Yufei, you’ve hidden it so deeply! You’ve had someone all along and were hiding it from us!"
Over the phone, Li Yufei suddenly heard Du Shaoheng’s voice coming distantly, "Wife, who are you talking to?"
