Chapter 1344: Chapter 1322: Don’t Think Being Handsome Will Keep Me from Hitting You

On the other side of the wall, after a brief hesitation, Chu Xinyue spoke calmly as if nothing had happened, smiling slightly: "That plant is called Eardrop Acacia."

"What’s acacia? Can you eat it?" Yiyi, sucking her thumb and feeling a bit hungry after playing for so long, saw everything as edible.

Chu Xinyue’s smile wavered slightly, then immediately replied with a smile: "Acacia means longing."

"So, if you miss someone, you can plant an acacia tree?" Zhuochen finally beat his sister to it this time.

Chu Xinyue nodded, a trace of imperceptible sadness passed over her lips, followed by a smile: "Acacia trees have a very long lifespan, living for hundreds of years. If there’s someone you miss very deeply but can never meet again, you can plant an acacia tree, so it’s as if that person stays by your side forever."

The two little ones listened with half-understanding and soon shifted their attention away, moving back to playing volleyball as the break ended.

On the other side of the wall, Ya Chen was deep in thought when a childish voice rang out:

"Hey, who are you? Why are you at my doorstep?"

Yiyi, holding a volleyball that was accidentally hit over, opened her eyes wide with curiosity, looking at the man outside.

She hadn’t met this uncle yet, but after Ya Chen regained his vision, he had seen pictures of this little niece. He tried his best to seem friendly and gestured: "Keep your voice down."

Yiyi widened her eyes: "Are you a bad guy? I’m going to call my aunt—"

"I’m not a bad guy, I’m your uncle."

"Uncle? Mommy said uncle doesn’t live in this country." Yiyi looked back incredulously at Chu Xinyue, her big eyes full of doubt, and feeling secure behind the wall, flashed her little fist: "Liar! Just because you’re good-looking doesn’t mean I won’t hit you!"

Mommy and grandpa had said uncle was a prince, very dignified!

How could he be this sneaky man outside peeking in?

"Your name is Yiyi, right?"

It was only then Yiyi believed, her eyes widened again: "Are you really uncle? I’m going to call my aunt—"

"Yiyi!" Ya Chen admonished.

Yiyi obediently retreated, and heard him say in a slightly awkward tone: "Uncle isn’t convenient to meet your aunt now. You shouldn’t tell your aunt that I came, understand?"

Yiyi pouted: "I don’t want to lie to auntie."

Ya Chen played his trump card: "If you help uncle this time, in the future, whenever you come to Nanga, you can do whatever you want."

Yiyi’s eyes lit up: "Then I want to be a duchess, okay?"

Isn’t uncle a prince? Then there shouldn’t be an issue with her being a duke or a duchess, right?

Ya Chen was surprised, didn’t girls usually want to be princesses?

This little niece was impressive; not content with being a princess, she wanted to be a duchess!

The daughter of the Huo family sure was unique!

He touched his chin, feeling a bit troubled: "But in Nanga, usually only men can inherit the title of Duke."

Yiyi frowned: "That’s not my concern, then you help me find a duke, I’ll marry him!" Then, hehe, snatch the duke’s title!

Ya Chen couldn’t help but laugh: "That can be arranged."

Yiyi immediately made a zipping motion across her lips, indicating she wouldn’t tell auntie, but then said sympathetically: "Uncle, you’re so pitiful. You came all the way here but don’t dare to see auntie."

He’d never been called pitiful by anyone, a trace of awkwardness passed over his high nose bridge.

Just then, Chu Xinyue’s voice came: "Yiyi? Where did you go?"

Ya Chen gave a meaningful look, and Yiyi promptly ran off with the ball.

Only then did he stand up, a deep look in his eyes, and turned to leave.

......

The sky had darkened completely, and Chu Xinyue entered the villa with her two little nephews.

As soon as they entered, Auntie Li greeted them with a smile, pinching Yiyi’s nose and taking Zhuochen’s hand: "You two little rascals, playing until you look like little flower cats. You must’ve tired your aunt out! Come, let’s wash your hands... Second Miss, you wash your hands too."

Chu Xinyue nodded and was heading towards the restroom when she saw An Haokang coming from the living room.

Chu Xinyue stopped in her tracks and greeted him.

"Xinyue, got a moment to talk?"

Chu Xinyue was taken aback: "What’s up?"

An Haokang spoke in a calm tone, trying to be tactful: "Actually, I’ve been wanting to ask you about your reactions after the stimulation therapy. We only completed half of the treatment, do you really have blurred memories regarding certain people and things now?"

Chu Xinyue hadn’t expected him to suddenly bring this up, she discreetly clenched her clothes before revealing a faint smile: "Yes."

"Even him... I mean, can’t you recall your husband’s appearance either?" An Haokang probed bit by bit.

"Yes." Her voice was firm, her eyes unusually calm.

An Haokang didn’t ask further, smiling: "Alright, nothing more. Go ahead."

Chu Xinyue nodded lightly and walked towards the villa’s main entrance.

An Haokang watched her back, exhaling a gentle sigh for no reason.

Xinyue’s demeanor was too indifferent.

So indifferent it was almost too much.

Recalling her reactions when interacting with Ya Chen, it was indeed too calm and composed.

So composed it seemed as if she had rehearsed in advance how to act when meeting him to avoid raising his suspicion.

Her responses to Ya Chen were always too reasonable, too normal.

From a psychological point of view, too reasonable is actually unreasonable.

Could it be...

Exactly as Ya Chen had suspected, she actually remembers...?

A few days later.

In the morning, the magazine had just kicked off the day’s work.

Manager Xu came over, her usual stern expression carrying a cheerful air today, as if she had something to announce:

"Everyone, pause your work for a moment."

The crowd set aside their tasks and gathered around.

Chu Xinyue also moved her hands away from the keyboard, looking at Manager Xu.

"The higher-ups are very satisfied with the sales figures for this month and praised our magazine in the meeting, especially our department. Therefore, this weekend, a pool party is being hosted at Qinglake Resort, inviting all our colleagues from the magazine to attend."

"Really?"

"That’s awesome!"

"Qinglake Resort, that place is really expensive, full of rich people. I’ve never had a chance to visit!"

"A pool party just sounds so much fun!"

Manager Xu laughed: "You’ll have unlimited seafood, unlimited wine, stay in six-star hotel suites, each room equipped with a Japanese-style hot spring, and various high-tech electronic products."

A cheer of surprise rose again.

"Oh right, Manager Xu, can we bring a plus one?"

Manager Xu nodded: "Yes, each person can bring one guest."

"That’s great, I’ll bring my girlfriend, she’ll be thrilled."

"The higher-ups are so generous this time!" In their joy, colleagues also expressed some surprise, as the higher-ups had never been so lavish before.

Especially since their magazine wasn’t highly regarded among the group’s assets, the higher-ups had never offered such good benefits to their magazine before!
