Chapter 623 Make A Choice
'Someone better?' Yue Yue looked at him in displeasure. 'And why don't you become that someone better for her?'
Zhai Yanjun was stunned. He didn't know how to answer that question. Why didn't he think about this? He had been thinking about a lot of things lately but none involved chasing Xiang Wai back. Because he truly felt like he didn't deserve her. He was the scum in their relationship. He shouldn't ask her for understanding or anything.
He's the one who allowed his gratitude to overshadow his love for Xiang Wai. He never made her feel loved. How could he dare dream of her again? But it was true that he wanted to see her happy.
"She had exhausted her feelings for me," said Zhai Yanjun. "I don't dare ask her to be with me. I am a very tiring person. I don't know how she managed to stay with me for so long. I could be unbearable. I know that too. When we broke up, I did want to know who was right and wrong between us. But not anymore. Now, I just want to see her happy. She really deserves to be happy."
Yue Yue could tell that he really liked this girl he was talking about. Maybe he didn't even realize it himself. Or maybe he finally did understand but was too scared to face these feelings now that it was too late. But was it really too late?
She sighed to herself.
'Don't wish her happiness. Bring that happiness to her.'
Zhai Yanjun looked at his aunt in confusion.

She patted his head lovingly as she stood up, 'Think about what I said. Are you okay with seeing her happy with someone else or do you want to be a part of that happiness? Or maybe become the reason for that smile on her face? Wishing someone happiness is too easy, my dear child. It's hard to become the reason for that happiness. You have to choose on which side you want to stand. I hope you make the right choice.'
"You're leaving?" he asked seeing her taking her bag to leave.
Yue Yue nodded her head, 'I have plans with Chenyan. I'll see you some other day. Okay?'
Zhai Yanjun was a bit reluctant but he still agreed, "Alright. Then take care!"
'You too!'
....
It was unexpected for Yue Yue to know that her nephew's love life was so messed up. But at least, he had a love life, unlike her own son who was too far away from the word love. Sometimes, she even wondered if she'd be able to see her son getting married in her life. For now, this seemed like a dream.
Although she knew about his sexuality, she was also told that asexual people do get married and spend normal lives. But it takes them a lot more effort to find their partners. She never forced Hyson to date but that didn't mean, she wasn't looking forward to it. She couldn't possibly be alive forever. She was afraid that her son would be lonely once she is no more.
But it was also true that it was difficult for Hyson to be lonely with Raelle around. However, Raelle was still a best friend. She didn't wish for her son to spend a lonely life like her own. At least she had a son. What will her son do?
With these thoughts, she didn't even realize when she arrived at the destination that Mu Chenyan had asked her to come to. She got out and looked at the venue. She didn't expect Mu Chenyan's plan was this for today.
In moments like these, she wanted to smack open Mu Chenyan's head like walnut to check what exactly was inside.
"Yue! You're here!"
Yue looked behind her and found Mu Chenyan alighting from the car. She pursed her lips and pointed at the venue, 'Seriously? Isn't this too bland for your taste?'
Mu Chenyan eyed her, "What do you mean? It's rock climbing. Isn't it fun?"
'Fun!' responded Yue Yue. 'But it's too easy for you, no?' She had seen how much this woman loved extreme sports. And even though rock climbing counted as an extreme sport, she thought it was like child's play for someone like Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan leaned over and lowered her voice to say, "I can't show my extreme at the very beginning. I have to first..."
'Get your prey into the trap?'

'I am,' answered Yue.
"Aunt, we are rock climbing?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Yes!" answered Mu Chenyan. "Weimin won't be able to join us. But he can watch. Or we can go and watch a horse race. Wanna bet on a jockey?"
Yue slapped her arm, 'Be a good example! What do you mean by betting? Is it nice to show them the way to gambling?'
"But it's fun," Mu Chenyan argued. "Anyway, forget it. With Weimin's condition, we can't do much. We have to take things slowly."
"How thoughtful," said Xiang Weimin. "However, I think I can join the rock climbing."
"No, you can't!" was Mu Chenyan's response. Although she also thought rock climbing wasn't all that fun, she still couldn't really take them straight to join rallying or maybe, motocross? Even though those were one of her favorite sports.
"Aunt is right. Ge, you take a seat and just cheer for me," said Xiang Wai. "I'll win this time. Aunt, you up for another competition?"
Mu Chenyan's brows knitted up, "Do you love competing with me?"
"Yes!" answered Xiang Wai. "You're my biggest competition right now."
Mu Chenyan laughed, "I feel honored." She shook her head and went to get the gears for everyone.
Although Xiang Weimin looked unwilling, he couldn't do anything either. He knew he wouldn't be able to act impudently with his aunt around.
