Madam?

Xia Yehua, who was lying on the bed, was surprised. However, she spoke laughing, “Old Li, I’ve became Old Madam, why are you still addressing me as Madam- Ah!”

As she exclaimed in surprise, her gaze landed on Qiao Lian!

Her irises swelled as she suddenly sat up and stared at Qiao Lian in disbelief. “Xiao Qiao, you- you—”

Caretaker Li had no idea what was happening. She walked forward with the food and said, “Madam, have you came to visit Old Madam with Sir? I’ve bought a lot of ingredients today. I’ll cook good food for both of you in the afternoon, stay for lunch, ok?”

After she finished her words, she then realized the weird atmosphere in the room. She looked at Qiao Lian, looked at Xia Yehua and then looked at Shen Liangchuan. She then shut her mouth with understanding and hid in the kitchen.

Qiao Lian’s body had froze as she stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.

Behind her was the concentrated gazes of both Shen Liangchuan and Xia Yehua. Their gazes, one hot and one cold, were respectively on Qiao Lian, making her feel as if her body was immersed in both warmth and cold.

Was Aunt Xia angry?

After spending such a long time with her, Qiao Lian had found the mother’s warmth on her and she yearned for it. However, now…

She slowly turned her body and lowered her head. She didn’t dare to look at Aunt Xia’s expression as she apologized, “A- Aunt Xia, I- I didn’t know you were- I- I’m sorry—”

She gave a deep bow and when she was about to turn to leave, she suddenly heard Xia Yehua’s stern voice, “Xiao Qiao, come back!”

Qiao Lian stopped in her tracks.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

In her whole life, she had never been afraid of people making life difficult for her or questioning her. Yet, she couldn’t bear to hearing those mean words, if it were to come out from Aunt Xia.

She bit her lips and then heard Xia Yehua’s voice, “You’re my daughter-in-law?”

Qiao Lian nodded her head.

Just as Xia Yehua wanted to continue, Shen Liangchuan quickly took a step forward and said, “Mom, if you are feeling alright, then we’ll take out leave first.”

When he finished, he reached out his hand and grabbed Qiao Lian’s arm, dragging her to the exit.

Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan in confusion and surprise.

This man… He had been suspicious of her just a while ago and now he wanted to take her away quickly. Did he want to protect her from being picked on by Aunt Xia?

Her eyes suddenly blurred.

However, Qiao Lian suddenly stopped and reached her hand to hold Shen Liangchuan’s big hands, saying, “Wait a moment.”

Her palm was warm and soft. It sent a shock to Shen Liangchuan’s body, as he unconsciously looked down at their holding hands.

Qiao Lian turned around and walked in front of Xia Yehua. She lifted her head up and exchanged eye contact with her. “Aunt Xia, can I still address you as an ‘Aunt’? Can I still play games with you in the park?”

She gathered her courage and asked, as she didn’t want to lose this kinship.

She felt perturbed as she waited for her reply, but she then heard Xia Yehua’s cold answer, “No.”

Qiao Lian’s heart swelled in pain and sadness.

She bit her lips and spoke sadly, “Ok, I understand.”

She turned around and just as she was about to leave, she heard Xia Yehua’s strict voice, “Why are you addressing me as ‘Auntie’ instead of ‘Mom’ when I’m your mother-in-law?”

Qiao Lian’s body was stunned as she turned her head in disbelief. Xia Yehua then continued fiercely, “And let’s not go to the park anymore! Don’t you know that it’s getting cold? If you want to play, come home instead and play.”
