　　Chapter 023: Marrying a Scum Man’s Mother (23)
　　
　　Jian Ming couldn’t believe his ears, his eyes were about to pop out, “Aunt… Aunt Xia?”
　　Xia Changhan grabbed the handrail, “Hey, nephew.”
　　
　　”Mom, Miss Xia… what’s going on?”
　　Jian Ming felt that his three views had been challenged, the ex-girlfriend had suddenly become an aunt, was there anything more exciting than that?
　　Most importantly, Xia Changhan appeared at the old mansion.
　　
　　Jian Family had a tradition that if an adult brought his or her lover back to the old mansion and appeared before the head of the family, it was basically certain that he or she would spend the rest of his or her life with that person.
　　With the passage of time, the branch bloodlines have long since abandoned this tradition, and only the direct bloodline continues to do it.
　　
　　Now the head of Jian family was his mother, Jian Yixian, and he had brought Bai Youyou back to show to his mother, but the appearance of Xia Changhan here was intriguing.
　　Jian Yixian wasn’t going to answer his question and instructed the maid, “Help the young master carry the suitcase upstairs.”
　　Jian Ming had to shut up and follow the maid upstairs.
　　
　　When he reached the corner of the stairs he looked back at Xia Changhan in deep thought, not knowing what to think.
　　Xia Changhan said to the system: “Oh wow, I never think it would feel so good to be called auntie by an ex-boyfriend.”
　　System: “It’s even better to be called mom.”
　　Xia Changhan: “Really?”
　　She took a sneak peek at the side of Jian Yixian’s face, which didn’t look like a thirty-seven year old woman, and the passage of years had left no traces on her face, and there weren’t any wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
　　Xia Changhan’s heart was pounding.
　　
　　The fact that she stole a glance was noticed by Jian Yixian, her lips were smiling, and she asked, “What’s wrong?”
　　Xia Changhan said a little shyly, “It’s nothing.”
　　
　　The smile at the corner of Jian Yixian’s lips deepened.
　　On the way to wash her hands, Xia Changhan asked the system, “Why is my heart beating so fast?”
　　The system has brought so many hosts, it already knows what will happen next, yet it replied not according to the routine: “How do I know, see a doctor early if you are sick, don’t shy away from treatment.”
　　
　　Xia Changhan: “…I thought you would say it’s because I’ve fallen in love with Jian Yixian.”
　　If the system could make expressions it would definitely roll its eyes: “Aren’t you clear about it yourself in your heart?”
　　Xia Changhan: “Aren’t I asking for you to confirm this?”
　　System: “I’m just a mass of data, no feelings, no love, what’s the use of asking for me for confirmation.”
　　Xia Changhan: “……..”
　　
　　Jian Yixian’s words about having a home-cooked meal was really a home-cooked meal, and there were no more guests until dinner was served.
　　Only four people attended the dinner party.
　　Jian Yixian pulled out the first chair on her right, “Miss Xia, sit here.”
　　
　　Xia Changhan was somewhat interested at Jian Yixian, naturally she didn’t want to hear Jian Yixian called her too formally, she sat down and said, “President Jian, don’t call me Miss Xia anymore, call me Changhan.”
　　
　　Jian Yixian gave an easy follow up reply: “HanHan.”
　　Xia Changhan: “HanHan is nice too la, but it sounds like a certain writer, ah….”
　　Jian Yixian, who had never been in a relationship, and had never given anyone a nickname before: “In that case, what about ChangChang?”
　　Xia Changhan: “…” What a mess.
　　Xia Changhan gave up: “Why not Changhan…”
　　Jian Yixian: “Changhan sounds a bit formal, I’ll call you Shorty.”[1]
　　Xia Changhan couldn’t believe it, her accent all soared out, “What?”
　　Jian Yixian affectionately rubbed against her earlobe, “Shorty.”
　　Xia Changhan gave up and thought, forget it, as long as you’re happy.
　　The scene was seen by Jian Ming, he was stunned, his feet stepped on empty space, “dun dun dun dun” rolled downstairs.
　　
　　Bai Youyou shrieked, “Big Brother Ming,” and quickly reached out to grab him.
　　Unfortunately, she was slow and didn’t grab him, and hurried downstairs to squat beside Jian Ming with concern: “Big Brother Ming, did it hurt, give me a look.”
　　 Jian Ming gave a painful □ □, covering his buttocks and shaking his head: “It’s nothing.”
　　
　　Bai Youyou helped him to his feet and griped, “Why are you so careless.”
　　Jian Ming said to himself, “If this happened to your mother, you’d have to fucking fall too.”
　　
　　After sitting down, Jian Ming took out the gift he had prepared and held it with both hands, respectfully handing it to Jian Yixian, “Mom, this is my gift to you, I wish you good fortune, longevity, good health and beauty.”
　　Jian Yixian opened the gift, is a square inkstone [2], without a trace of artificial carving, the pattern is natural and good looking, the material is as warm as jade, at a glance you can tell it is a good square inkstone.
　　
　　”This is an ink slab that this son bought from the calligraphy and painting master Chi Chengzhi, he is very fond of this square inkstone, if not for this son doing him a big favor, the old man would not be willing to part with it.”
　　Jian Yixian was usually interested in the four treasures of the study[3], and loved the inkstone whenever she received it.
　　
　　She played with it for a while and put away the gift, “You’re so kind.”
　　Jian Ming was happy to be praised, “It’s good that you like it, Youyou also prepared a gift for you.”
　　Bai Youyou took out a long box from behind her, inside was a jade hairpin, the hairpin was simple and elegant, it was transparent, apparently Bai Youyou had spent a lot of effort preparing the gift.
　　
　　Jian Yixian accepted it and said thanks, “I have accepted Miss Bai’s goodwill.”
　　Compared to these, Xia Changhan’s gift was particularly unimpressive, and Jian Ming knew that Xia Changhan was planning to make a web series, and her funds weren’t that much, deliberately asking, “I wonder what gift Miss Xia has prepared for my mother?”
　　
　　Jian Yixian said sith a smile, “Your Aunt Xia made me a box of cookies she made herself.”
　　Hearing that ‘Aunt’ title, Jian Ming’s face twisted.
　　
　　Jian Ming smiled, “Miss Xia’s gift is quite innovative.”
　　Xia Changhan said, “It’s just filled with some rare supplements like thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plants, so it’s not worth mentioning.”
　　Jian Ming and Bai Youyou were clearly shocked by the luxury of the cookie and couldn’t speak for a long while.
　　
　　Jian Yixian looked sideways at Xia Changhan with a smile on her eyes and her lips moving a few times, as if saying, “Little liar.”
　　Xia Changhan had a rare blush. She looked down and stuffed a piece of broccoli in her mouth. Her graceful neck was exposed.　　
　　Jian Yixian had hazy eyes, she was originally planning to take the baby cabbage, yet her chopsticks turned to the roasted duck in red wine, took a piece of duck neck and slowly ate it up.[4]
　　
　　Jian Ming who returned to his senses also continued eating the food.
　　As he ate, he remembered the moment he saw before he fell down the stairs, he was in a trance, looking at Jian Yixian and Changhan from time to time.
　　In the end, Jian Yixian didn’t want to see him any more and put down her chopstick, “If you don’t eat, go upstairs, why are you looking around with your head tilted.”
　　As he saw his mother’s nonchalant appearance, Jian Ming obediently lowered his head to eat rice, his heart was relieved, it is true that the scene just now was all his illusion, how could his mom who had bad temper and sexual coldness get mixed up with Xia Changhan, about rubbing the earlobe, it could also be that she accidentally touched it.　　

Footnotes:
[1] The Chinese is DuanDuan. So, in MC’s name, the Chang character means long, and FL decided to call the opposite. Maybe because MC is shorter than her. I forgot their height, I think its written in somewhere that FL is taller by half a head or more.
[2] Yantai: Ink slab/inkstone. A place to grind the ink if you’re doing Chinese calligraphy.
[3] Four Treasures of the Study (文房四宝 wén fáng sì bǎo) refer to the ink brush, inkstick, paper and inkstone used in Chinese calligraphy and painting.
[4] Apparently duck neck is rich of iron, you know, iron is good to treat kidney deficiency and to maintain stamina when having a rigorous “exercise” – you know what I mean~

Author:
There’s another long, thick chapter today, I’ll post it When I’m done.
XWT: Jian Ming: De NILE. Hahaha. Apparently mistaken his mom’s horny af face as nonchalant face, too. Did anyone remember Xia Changhan’s protest that the system brought her to someone’s bath house once? Well, apparently it’s a flag~

Ririka: This is for Anon, LilMs and Hori who wants more cannon fodder~ we’ll get the obligatory bathing scene soon~
