A Visit from Mrs. Gu (2)

Yang Yun was puzzled when she didn't see her son anywhere in this house.

"Aunty, Jiahang has gone out to meet a friend but he should be back soon," He Xiyan said with an awkward smile. Her flushed face reflected the anxiety and unease she was feeling. She gestured for Yang Yun and Shaoqian's cousin to head inside. Then, she went to the kitchen to prepare tea for the guests.

Yuan Yuan emerged from the bedroom and immediately two aunties who he had never met sitting on the sofa. Wait, one of them was an aunty but the other looked more like his grandmother's age.

Yuan Yuan carried a sketchbook and a box of colored pencils and walked to the sofa. Then, he stared at Yang Yun and Gu Lin curiously.

"Hello, aunties," he said with a smile. He would always address women he didn't know as 'aunty'. 

Yang Yun and Gu Lin didn't know how to react.

They froze in shock and their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at this little boy.
