Chapter 482: Shin and Huian (1)

Everybody gathered for the barbecue. All the kids were restlessly waiting for their delicious feast.

“Aunt Nana. When can we eat the barbecue?” Meirong asked as she drooled at the burning meat’s sight.

Nana chuckled. “It’s almost done.”

Zixin shook his head. “You don’t have any patience.”

But then his own stomach grumbled.

Jian and Nian burst into laughter, and so did Nuo and Bao. Meirong and Meixiu giggled. “Zixin is also so hungry~~”

Zixin’s face turned beet red from the embarrassment.

Nuo carefully walked, holding a small tray containing three cups of water. She trotted towards Jinhai, Jianyu, and Shin.

“Dada, Uncle Jianyu, Uncle Shin…I bwought water for you. You bwought woods, so you must be thirsty.”

An arrow shot through their hearts as Nuo adorably smiled.

Shin said, “You are just like Nana when you smile.”

Jinhai felt proud. “Of course. Nuo and Nana have the prettiest smiles in this whole world.”

Jianyu gently took the cups and took her in his lap. “Thank you, Nuo. You are so thoughtful. Ah, and you are so cute. Let me just steal you from your Dada.”

Suddenly, the temperature dropped below freezing point, and Jinhai immediately grabbed Nuo and safely took her in his arms.

He glared at him with a darkened gaze.

Jianyu shook his head. “You don’t have to feel so threatened. Can I not even joke?”

Shin laughed. “Well, I would certainly react that way about Meixiu and Meirong too.”

Jinhai said, “Not about my Nuo. If it’s about Jian, Nian, or Jun, then it’s fine.”

The three boys who accidentally heard the conversation –”…”

A few minutes later, everybody was gathered at the table. Jin had already had his fill before, so he was quietly sleeping in his stroller.

Shin said, “Emmmm, this is so delicious!” He popped in one piece of meat in his mouth.

Serena grinned. “As always, Chef Nana is just amazing.”

Nana scratched her head in embarrassment.

Nian put his plate forward. “Mama, more!”

“You are done already?”

“Yup.”

“Big brother Nian is also done stealing from my plate,” Jun commented in a pointed voice.

Nian rolled his eyes. “Sharing is caring.”

“Right. It’s not stealing is caring, okay?”

Everybody laughed at their antics. They reminisced the past as they enjoyed their barbecue and beer.

“I still remember how Jianyu’s face when Serena was going to propose to him,” Nana laughed. “He looked so torn apart.”

Jianyu said, “Of course, I would feel that way. My heart was in my throat all that time.”

Serena couldn’t help but giggle too.

“And Shin’s condition was even funnier than me when Uncle and Aunt Liang learned about Huian’s pregnancy.”

Shin’s brow twitched. “Hey, what’s so funny in Mom running behind me with a broom?”

Huian almost coughed out the water she drank. “Ah, that always cracks me up so hard!”

*Flashback*

Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan looked at their son, dumbfounded. They had returned from their trip to the island after the wedding anniversary when Shin immediately told them about Huian and her pregnancy the next day.

Huian was nervous the whole time. Two full minutes had gone by, but they said nothing.

I knew it…They disagree with our relationship. I am divorced, and my ex-husband is their daughter’s husband. They must be feeling so weird about this.

Her heartbeat quickened, and her eyes were slightly stinging with tears.

Shin, on the other hand, was sure that they wouldn’t have any problem with Huian. But he didn’t understand why they were so oddly silent.

Why aren’t they saying anything?

Then something struck him.

Damn, are they mad that I made her pregnant before marriage?

He inwardly cursed himself.

Ah, I will surely get a good beating! But wait…it’s alright. Of course, I am ready to take responsibility and marry her. So, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Shin found some solace in this thought.

Liang Xiao Dan narrowed her eyes. “So, Huian is pregnant?”

Shin nodded. “Yes.”

“And you asked her to date you?”

“Yes.”

“So, now you are boyfriend and girlfriend?”

Shin didn’t know where she was going with this.

“Yes.”

“You idiot!” she yelled.

Shin and Huian jumped in their seats. Liang Xiao Dan got up and left from her seat only to bring a broom with her.

She was glaring at him as if an Asura had descended on the earth, making Shin gulp hard.

“Mom, we can t-talk…why did you bring the broom? Dad, say something.”

Liang Zou looked at him in disappointment and turned his head away.

“Nobody is going to help you, Liang Shin!” she roared and came after him.

Shin instinctively got up and began running away from her while Huian had no idea what was going on.

“Mom, I am sorry!”

“Sorry! Do you think I will forgive you with just your sorry!? Come here! If I don’t beat the living shit of you today, then I will change my name!”

“Mom, please listen to me!”

“No!”

She chased after him, and Shin could only run behind the couches and pillars to hide from his mother.

Liang Zou ignored his son and asked Huian as he gently smiled at her, “Do you want some tea, dear?”

Eh?

His son was chased by his furious mother, and he is calmly asking me for tea?

“Uncle…that Shin…”

“Oh, just ignore him. That brat deserves it,” Liang Zou shrugged.

Huian cleared her throat. “That Uncle…please don’t blame him…entirely for what happened. I-I also…I am also equally responsible…”

“Oh, no no, dear. We are not mad at you about your pregnancy. In fact, our happiness knows no bounds. I am going to be a grandfather!” He could hardly contain his excitement. “Do you know how happy I am!?”

She blinked her eyes in confusion. Huian speechlessly looked at him.

Then why?

“Shin, you are so dead!” Liang Xiao Dan didn’t give up chasing after him.

“But Mom-“

“You fool! How dare you ask Huian just to be your girlfriend! You should have proposed to her for marrying you instead! We could have had three weddings on the island with your marriage, you idiot son!”
