Chapter: 5193

"No..." Xiao Changkun's expression fell suddenly, muttering, "I was always too scared to divorce Ma Ran... Your Aunt Han is a very pure person. Back then, she was my girlfriend, and it was clear that Ma Ran took advantage of me being drunk to have an affair with her. But instead of staying with me, she chose to leave for the US alone, and even after returning, I never divorced Ma Ran, so it's impossible for her to be with me..."

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun sighed again, "Actually, when Aunt Han returned from abroad, if I had only been brave enough to divorce Ma Ran, she would definitely have stayed with me... But I'm just a coward. If I really brought up the topic of divorce, Ma Ran would've glared at me, and I wouldn't dare make a sound. She'd even be willing to fight with me for it..."

Leaf Chen smiled slightly and comforted him, saying, "Dad, you said yourself that you two never got together, so there's no question of whether or not you got divorced. Even if you didn't become a couple, you can still be friends! If you really want to be with her, you should consider it carefully and make a choice."

Xiao Changkun spoke sorrowfully, saying, "Oh, Leaf Chen! You don't understand! I no longer have the opportunity to choose anymore. Your Aunt Han is already with someone else!"

Leaf Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "She's with someone else? Won't happen! She's always liked you, right?"

Xiao Changkun wailed as if about to die, saying, "She's always liked me, but that was before... now she has another half already..."

Leaf Chen gossiped, asking, "Who is it? Your Aunt Han is top-notch among middle-aged women, and with her experience of seeing the world, what kind of person could make her fall in love?"

Xiao Changkun spoke gloomily, saying, "A professor from Jilin University of Finance, who's also a returned overseas Chinese, and they have many common interests... just like your Aunt Han."

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "Oh, that nephew! You remember the time when Your Aunt Han got sick, I went to send her porridge, and she insisted on going for a run with me at the Yangtze River? We three were about to leave when we met a professor who used to work at MIT, whose name is He Yuanjiang."

Leaf Chen was shocked and asked, "He Yuanjiang?"

"Yes!" Xiao Changkun gritted his teeth, saying, "That nephew!"

As soon as Xiao Changkun finished speaking, Leaf Chen couldn't help but express astonishment and asked, "How did Professor He get together with Aunt Han? What's going on?"

Xiao Changkun scowled and said, "It was when we went to South Korea for cultural exchange. They just happened to hit it off!"

Leaf Chen asked him, "Are you sure they're already together? Officially announced?"

"Yes..." Xiao Changkun's eyes welled up with tears as he spoke in great pain, saying, "Aunt Han told me about this. She said Professor He has been hinting at her for a long time, and it's not just a one-time thing. When we met him that day while jogging, he had already developed feelings for Aunt Han."

As Xiao Changkun spoke, he added, "That He guy has been chasing after Aunt Han all along. She didn't know what to make of him, so she agreed to go out with him."

Leaf Chen chuckled and said, "Dad, I'm going to say something you won't like, but I think they two are quite compatible."

"What's compatible about them?" Xiao Changkun burst out laughing upon hearing this, then asked in a huffy tone, "What's there to be compatible about? My wife and I were meant to be together, like heaven and earth. When we were in school, we used to talk about getting married, but if it weren't for Ma Ran, we would have gotten married already, with kids galore."

As Xiao Changkun spoke, his expression turned bitter, saying, "I never thought Aunt Han could so quickly fall out of love and move on to someone else. Does she think that person is more important in her eyes?"

Leaf Chen listened to him and then looked at him gravely, saying, "Dad, what you're saying is very irresponsible."

"What am I not responsible for?" Xiao Changkun raised his eyebrows and looked straight at him, asking in a huffy tone.

Leaf Chen countered with a question: "You always said that you and Aunt Han are meant to be together, like heaven and earth, but didn't you end up getting married with my mom instead?"

Xiao Changkun scowled and said, "That was all because of Ma Ran's scheming. If it weren't for him, Aunt Han would never have left me."

Leaf Chen shook his head and spoke in a calm tone: "Let's just put the past behind us. What I want to talk about is what happened after Aunt Han returned. At that time, she was still having feelings for you. The key point is that she gave you an opportunity, but you didn't have the courage to seize it, and you yourself weren't willing to take action. She couldn't just wait for you forever; in this kind of situation, she would naturally choose someone more suitable. After all, who knows when or if you'll get any results at all."

Xiao Changkun listened to these words and had a faintly uneasy feeling, hesitating and stuttering: "I'm not also looking for the right moment to discuss divorce with your mom? But her personality is... I definitely have to be subtle and wait for the right opportunity. I can't just bring it up directly." JrNovels.com
