"Aunty Su…Speaking so nicely with me? How's this possible? Has Sun come up from the west?"
Wang Yue's mind got troubled with a lot of thoughts at the same time when she remembered how Aunty Su made her life hell in her last life when she came into Xiao Muchen's life as his wife.
Wang Yue never understood the reason behind her hate for her but she tried everything to get all the misunderstandings clear. But she could never make it through and one day everything just blew out for them. Aunty Su got thrown away from their home by Xiao Muchen's grandpa and finally, Wang Yue had a peaceful time with Xiao Muchen.
"No…stop overthinking, Wang Yue. Have you forgotten that you have come here as Xiao Muchen's guest? Aunty Su must be okay with his guests…But no hold on, don't you remember when one time Xiao Muchen's co-worker who was a very pretty girl came by…Aunty Su literally threw her out of the house."
Her thoughts were all chaos and unrest was there on her face but she got pulled out of all the thoughts when Aunty Su stood in front of her and touched her by her shoulder.
"Hey, beautiful girl, what happened? You are lost in which thoughts?"
Aunty Su then slowly cupped her left cheek lightly and held her arm to take her inside the house. Wang Yue without a single rebellion walked following her lead.
"Am I dreaming? Is she Aunty Su…Xiao Muchen's Aunty Su?"
Wang Yue's head spun with confusion. First, the house that Xiao Muchen hated the most and then Aunty Su who hated Wang Yue like she was a murderer of her family. She thought while sitting on the couch in the drawing room.
She was on the verge of asking the same question when she saw Aunty Su coming with a glass of water. And then without a single thought, she opened her mouth to ask Aunty Su but then Li Chao stopped her by talking with her.
"Ma'am, I have settled Ai in one of the guest rooms. I think she will sleep for one more hour. The nurse is with her to take care. Ma'am, sir asked you to take a rest until he comes back home."
When Li Chao said it, Aunty Su walked up to her and gave her a glass of water.
"I will take care of her, Li Chao. Don't worry about it. You can go back to the office if sir asks you to go."
She walked toward the kitchen and instructed the cook to cook a few dishes for Wang Yue. When she came back, she smiled at the still amazed Wang Yue.
"Yue ma'am, are you not feeling well? You haven't spoken a single word until now. Do you need something?"
"No, I don't need anything but…but I am a bit tired and want to rest for some time. Can I just go to my room?"
"Oh, I am sorry dear. It is my bad. I should have asked you to get some rest after all the tiring journey."
Saying that Aunty Su turned back and asked one of the servants to show Wang Yue her room in the mansion.

Wang Yue slumped down on the bed as soon as she closed the door behind her.
"What the fuck is happening here? Firstly, Grandpa declined me to come here as Xiao Muchen's secretary. Second, I am here in Xiao Muchen's house where no one was allowed to come and Aunty Su who hated me from the bottom of her heart and others too who tried to go close to Xiao Muchen, welcomed me so sweetly."
Wang Yue sat up on the bed holding her head in her palms as she thought about all the things happening to her coming back.
"No, Aunty Su never let anyone come near Xiao Muchen. She hated everyone and always interfered with his relationships. Maybe she is acting sweet. I need to be very careful with her."
Thinking hard she got up and walked to the gallery of the room to take some fresh air to ease up her heart. As she walked out the first thing she noticed was the garden that had a gazebo in it and noticed the white lotus.
"White lotus…Your favourite flowers."
She whispered and closed her eyes to take a fresh breath of the lingering smell of the flowers that were Xiao Muchen's favourite flowers.
"Why are you behaving so differently than before, Xiao Muchen? You never spoke a full sentence with me that could have more than five words in it. You never showed me any love or affection for me. You always looked troubled and then your indifferent expression never let me understand you fully. What was I supposed to do back then when people were trying to make us go away from each other?"
A lone tear then fell from her right eye and her neck bent down as tears started to roll down unrestrained.
"You were never like this in my last life. Now you are all bright up like a warm sun in the winter wind. When I know it is going to be so hard to get that warmth all for myself. I hope I don't mess up in this second chance of my life. Help me to complete our true love, Chen Chen. Help us."
