208: Chapter 207 Aunt 208: Chapter 207 Aunt “Or else shall we go back tomorrow?” Song Yun rubbed his forehead, annoyed, “What’s this all about?
I thought the steward could hold off in Sunan City for a while, or even send her packing.
Who knew the steward would let Xuezi off the hook to come have a ‘good talk’ with me?
What’s there to talk about with a woman who spends her days figuring out how to drag me into her family as a live-in son-in-law?
I don’t even want to see her.”
“Why don’t you give the steward a call to ask?” Li Shishi chimed in, “It’s better to clarify things, you might both be misunderstanding each other.”
“Alright, I’ll call grandpa right now.” Song Yun took out his phone, scrolled through the contacts to find Second Grandpa’s landline, and checked the time, unsure if Second Grandpa had gone to bed.
The phone rang twice before a woman answered, “Who’s this?”
“It’s Song Yun, may I speak to Second Grandpa?”
“Xiao Yun?
Ha-ha, why did you think to give your grandpa a call this late at night?” the woman on the other end asked with a laugh.
Did this woman know him well?
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be calling him Xiao Yun from the get-go, probably one of the elders who knew him right from birth.
“Recently, Second Grandpa came to visit me in Sunan City and then left the steward here, saying he would help fend off the RB goddess.
But instead, the steward let her go, and even told her my location,” Song Yun said irritably.
“I’ve heard about that too, but the steward has always done as he pleases in our Song Family; we can’t guess his deeper intentions.
The old man has gone to bed now; maybe you can call back tomorrow?” the woman suggested after a moment.
“That’s fine.
But who are you, anyway?” Song Yun asked, “We’ve been talking for so long and I still don’t know who you are.”
“I’m your aunt Qing Yan, I used to hold your ‘pee-pee’ when you were little,” Qing Yan said with hearty laughter on the phone.
“When I held you as a child, you’d snuggle right into my arms, and if I pushed you away, you’d burst into tears.
Seems like your flirty nature started young.”
“I’m not a flirt,” Song Yun said, embarrassed.
“At most I’m a charming spirit.”
“Your mouth is just like your big brother’s, always so witty,” Qing Yan remarked.
“Really don’t know how your dad’s doing out there these days.”
“My dad has his own good fortune; he’s probably having more fun abroad than me,” Song Yun tried to reassure her.
“Alright, let’s not talk about your dad and his sad matters.
Tell me, how many girls have you been bothering in Sunan City?
I heard your courtyard is almost full.”
“Not true, I’m known in the Martial World as the Pure Young Master of Innocence.
How could I possibly be a philanderer?”
“Stop joking, I’m asking you seriously, how do you plan to handle all these women?
You should know women inherently have a strong territorial instinct.
If you don’t handle it well, it would bring disaster,” Qing Yan said seriously.
“That’s why I don’t have much energy to deal with this now.
Maybe you could come over and show some mercy to help resolve this for me,” Song Yun joked.
“We’ll wait for your mom to get back,” Qing Yan said, “Also, am I that old?”
“It’s just a respectful term,” Song Yun chuckled dryly, “I won’t disturb your sleep any longer.
I’ll call grandpa tomorrow.”
“Okay.
Grandpa’s been singing your praises since he got back, seems like you’re quite capable.
Just don’t know when you’ll continue the Song Family lineage.”
Qing Yan watched as her phone was hung up, shaking her head and chuckling ruefully, “You think I’m nagging too much.
Do you even realize how scarce our main line is now?”
After Song Yun hung up the call with a warm feeling in his heart, he still cherished the close family bond they shared, even if they only met during his childhood.
The brief conversation had left him feeling quite relieved.
“Alright, grandpa’s asleep for tonight; we’ll talk about this tomorrow,” Song Yun waved his hand and said.
“It’s getting late; let’s head back.”
Li Shishi rubbed her sleepy eyes and whispered, “Then let’s hurry back.
I’m about to fall asleep.”
“Aren’t we about to go back to sleep now?
Just a short walk away,” Song Yun said, helping Li Shishi up from the ground.
“Don’t fall asleep here.
There are lots of wolves around, they might carry you away in the night.”
“Hn, where are there wolves?” Li Shishi, sleepy like a drunk, staggered.
“I meant the flirty kind of wolf,” Song Yun said with a mischievous smile.
“One might see you, the sleeping beauty, and decide to take you home to warm his bed.”
“No…
that won’t happen,” Li Shishi said, and then she stumbled right into Song Yun’s arms.
Song Yun was initially startled and turned her over to find she had fallen asleep.
“This girl really doesn’t make things easy,” Song Yun shook his head and chuckled.
“Shishi must be tired from dancing earlier, and now that it’s almost eleven, it’s normal that she has fallen asleep,” Qingluan said.
“Xiaoqing and I will head off first; you’ll have to carry Shishi back.”
Watching Qingluan and Xiao Qing leaving with such flair, Song Yun chuckled and picked up Li Shishi to follow them.
In her sleep, Li Shishi didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but she kept nuzzling into Song Yun’s chest like a cuddly little puppy.
The next morning, Li Shishi’s little head was burrowing into the pillow, looking to find a more comfortable position to continue sleeping, but soon she felt something was off.
Her pillow was supposed to be rectangular, but what she was resting on now felt more like a bar-shaped body.
She opened her groggy eyes to find Song Yun sweetly embracing her, and upon seeing this startling sight so early, Li Shishi screamed and kicked Song Yun off the bed.
Then she started checking her clothing to see if she was fully dressed, after inspecting and finding everything except her outer top still there, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Yun felt wronged as he got up from the floor and complained, “Why are you screaming so early in the morning instead of sleeping?”
“What were you doing last night?
How come you were in my room?” Li Shishi pulled the blankets up to her chest and watched Song Yun warily, thinking to herself that despite all her years of guarding against wolves, she had let her guard down just once and someone had taken advantage of her, although…
she did feel somewhat fond of him, no, what was she thinking, it was a bad match.
