Shen Rui stands up and then she walks shyly towards Aunt Fei.
"Hello Grandma I'm Shen Rui"she said giving her a respectful bow.
"I'm finally a Grandma, she's so sweet, I like this one"said Aunt Fei holding her hand.
"She looks way too thin don't worry Grandma will take care of you"said Aunt Fei.
Shen Rui nods, "How about Grandma takes you out to play"said Aunt Fei.
"Okay but I have to freshen up first"said Shen Rui.
"Mommy, Daddy can I go out with Grandma today?"Shen Rui asked.
"Yeah no problem sweetie but you have to finish your meal first"said Lin Meiyin.
"Okay"said Shen Rui going back to her seat, she finished her meal quickly and Lin Meiyin took her upstairs.
Gu Chenyu sits in the living room with his Auntie.
"Today is your mother's birthday"said Aunt Fei, with a sad smile.
Gu Chenyu says nothing with his usual expression.
Cold
Ice Cold
He taps his fingers together, and Aunt Fei touches his face s stray tear, trickling down her eyes.
"I miss her too"said Aunt Fei resting her head on his shoulder.
Aunt Fei was the only one who knew that he missed his mother dearly even though he hid it so well, and looked like it didn't matter.
But it did
A lot
Gu Chenyu had to learn to conceal his emotions since his father never gave him face, or attention like a parent should to his child, instead he has showered insults and hurtful words towards him.
"You immature spoilt brat always crying go cry to your dead mother I can't stand you"said Master Gu at little Chenyu, who was crying because Gu Zihan has spilled lemonade on his school project.
Gu Yechen turned his back on his son, and Gu Chenyu became invisible to them all.
He was left all alone with no care and he was always punished for complaining about things.
Gu Chenyu was locked up and left to starve by Aunt Si because he stole food from the kitchen due to hunger.
The nanny couldn't stand it and secretly reached out to Aunt Fei who forced her way in to save him and took him away from the clutches of Si Liya.
"I'm fine "said Gu Chenyu rubbing her shoulder.
"I know when my child is in pain, only a mother feels that, even though I didn't give birth to you I raised you, and I know when you say it's okay and it's not okay " said Aunt Fei placing her hand on Gu Chenyu's long bony hand.
"I'll be fine"he said with red eyes,
"We can all go see her together, she's your mother Chenyu, it's not her fault that she died, she would be very glad to see you by her side today"said Aunt Fei.
"You can bring Meiyin along, she would be happy to see that you've found meaning in this life again" She tries convincing him and Lin Meiyin comes out from the corner.
"Aunt Fei, Rui Rui's ready"she said with a smile.
"Okay"said Aunt Fei with a nod, Rui Rui rushes downstairs wearing a blue dress and white sneakers, her hair braided into two pigtails.
"I'm ready Grandma"she said with a sweet smile.
"My Granddaughter is looking very cute, she's the prettiest, don't worry Grandma will spoil you rotten today"said Aunt Fei taking Rui Rui away.
Lin Meiyin waves heartily at them until their figures disappeared from her sight and then she turns around and looks at Gu Chenyu who still had an ice cold expression on his face.
She sits down next to him and rests her head on his shoulder in a playful way with pouted lips like a five year old, she lifts up her eyes to look at him.
"Hubby what's wrong?"she asked.
"I'm fine nothing to worry about"he said looking at her too.
"Do you think I'm stupid enough to buy that?"she asked her face turning serious and she holds his hands, Gu Chenyu looked down at this long slender fingers that were on his huge hands.
He felt a tingling sensation in his chest, "Gu Chenyu I'm your wife, you might not want to tell me but you'll have to let it out"she said. Her hands moved from his hands and were placed on his chest, "Maybe I can help out"she said.
Gu Chenyu's Adam's apple rolled slightly and he wraps his hands around her waist, and his cold expression was replaced with a bad boy smile, which wasn't right.
Lin Meiyin frowned at his actions as he places her on his lap.
