Mr. Rong’s Lovelorn Diary-Chapter 38: His name is... Yaoyao?

Chapter 38: His name is… Yaoyao? Translator: DragonRider

After the greeting, they took a picture together. Rong Yi was then led into the reception hall by Chen Keyao.

By the time they found the seat with the name card marked as “Chen Keyao and his partner”, Rong Yi had forgotten everything he wanted to ask. Under the table, he held his right hand in his left hand and felt that his whole body was sweating slightly.

Just at the door, Chen Keyao’s younger brother said that they looked particularly suitable for each other standing together.

Most probably he was just being polite. In other people’s eyes, he and Chen Keyao were both Alphas, so when standing hand in hand, they should look pretty weird.

But Rong Yi still felt very happy to hear that, and as a result, became particularly fond of Chen Keyao’s half-brother too.

Chen Keyao seemed to have quite a few acquaintances in this hall. From time to time, people came to greet him. Most of them, like his brother, called him a “school senior”.

When Rong Yi finally recalled his doubts, Chen Keyao volunteered to explain them to him.

“We used to be in the same high school,” he said. “We were two grades apart, but we were in the same club. All the people who just came to say hello were friends of the club.”

Rong Yi was a little surprised: “So Sister Lan at that time…”

“No,” Chen Keyao shook his head. “She and my father were separated only after I graduated from high school.”

Rong Yi listened without saying a word for a moment.

This relationship was really confusing, but it seemed inconvenient to get to the bottom of it when it was about other people’s family matters.

Seeing his baffled face, Chen Keyao laughed for some reason.

“You can ask.”

“You and your brother had known each other before that?”

If they first met as half brothers, even if they then met each other in school, it wouldn’t have been very suitable for them to call each other ‘senior’ and ‘junior’, and to even continue this habit to the present day.

“Yes, Sister Lan and Uncle got to know each other because of us,” said Chen Keyao, “We had … got along well then.”

“… ”

Incidentally Rong Yi started to imagine a little bit again. An Alpha and an Omega got along so well that their parents got to know each other through them. But now they were brothers, one of whom was getting married while the other only found out about it at the last minute.

If it weren’t for the clear orientation of Chen Keyao and that irritating problem, Rong Yi could instantly make up twenty episodes of a soap opera out of this.

During the conversation, Sister Lan came over.

Rong Yi got up to say hello. After a few words of greeting, Sister Lan suddenly said to Chen Keyao, “You and your brother haven’t seen each other for so long. Why don’t you two chat a little more?”

“He’s busy,” Chen Keyao laughed. “There will be chances in the future.”

Sister Lan seemed to want to say a bit more, but seeing Rong Yi aside, she swallowed her words, and then quickly left.

Rong Yi’s creative desire reached its peak in an instant.

He even came up with a very strange idea. Chen Keyao would vomit at Omegas, which was obviously a deep-rooted problem. Since it was a deep-rooted problem, there must be a root from somewhere.

So was it not the most reasonable inference that he was “once hurt emotionally”?

Maybe Chen Keyao came to attend not only his half brother’s wedding, but also his former boyfriend’s wedding, so he deliberately held his hand when they entered the door?

With this in mind, Rong Yi instantly felt that the way the bridegroom looked at him when they met just now was somewhat meaningful.

After re-seating, he could not help but whisper into Chen Keyao’s ear, “You and your brother…Ouch!”

Rong Yi suddenly got hit in the back by someone. His voice was uncontrollably raised so much that Chen Keyao had to cover his ear and could not speak for a moment.

They looked behind him together, both frowning, and found a little boy standing there with a strained face.

Chen Keyao’s attitude towards children was always very amicable. He leaned forward slightly and said softly, “Little boy, please do not run around here?”

Although he smiled gently, the still conspicuous scar on his face acted as a strong deterrent.

So after two seconds of stupor, the child cried.

Chen Keyao felt rather hurt and tried to comfort him, but Rong Yi frowned.

The child looked so familiar.

Just as he was wondering, a slim male Omega came quickly from a short distance away and picked up the child.

When he and Rong Yi’s eyes met, both of them were stunned.

No wonder the child looked familiar. This was Li Xiaoran’s son.

It was such a small world. Rong Yi stood up unconsciously and looked around, but he heard the Omega in front of him say, “He’s not here.”

Rong Yi realised he was not being very polite. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the other person suddenly smiled at him.

“What a coincidence,” he said. “Could you spare me five minutes?”

The Beta of today’s newlyweds was a cousin of this Omega’s.

However, there was one person short for such an occasion where normally a whole family would attend together. The reason was more or less the same as what Rong Yi had guessed.

The two people stood in a corner outside the hall, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

The man reluctantly smiled at Rong Yi and then said, “Xiaoran said…”

“What?”

“Forget it,” sighed the other person unexpectedly. “He’s probably talking nonsense anyway.”

“…”

Rong Yi thought for a moment, “Did he tell you that I am an Omega and that I badmouthed him because I wanted to date him but was turned down?”

The other person was stunned. “So was it true?”

“The first half was true,” Rong Yi hesitated and swallowed some saliva. “But you saw the Alpha with me just now?”

He was so nervous when he said this that his hand even subconsciously tugged at the seam of his trousers.

The implication of this sentence had achieved the desired effect.

“Well…” After a brief surprise, the other person nodded. “I knew there was not much truth out of this man’s mouth.”

“So, you knew he was out there…”

“More or less,” the other one smiled awkwardly. “It’s not just once or twice. I’m getting used to it.”

Rong Yi frowned: “Then why do you still want to…”

“Otherwise, what can I do?” The other one looked down. “I asked you to come out here just to say… You can just pretend you don’t know anything about it, and don’t mention it to anyone else, okay?”

Rong Yi hesitated and nodded.

The other person sighed with relief, and then said, “Don’t be fooled by how Xiaoran looks now. When we first met, he was actually quite handsome.”

Rong Yi knew this perfectly well.

But that was only in the past. Even if he was still extraordinarily handsome now, it still wouldn’t give him the right to make his partner suffer this grievance.

If it was not for the fact that they had barely known each other, Rong Yi really wanted to give the man a good telling-off to sober him up.

When the guy saw Rong Yi’s hesitant expression, he said, “I know what you are thinking, but Yaoyao’s still so small… ”

“His name is… Yaoyao?”

Rong Yi turned slightly unconsciously and looked at the two people, one big and one small, in the hall.

Little boy Yaoya had been scared to tears, but now he had already become close to this fierce-looking big friend at a lightning speed. No one could tell what they were talking about, but they looked very happy with a lot of laughter.

“I still hope that there’s a good environment for Yaoyao to grow up in.” He said.

Rong Yi did not comment.

“And… The reason that Xiaoran treats me like is partly my fault first, “he was bending down the corners of his lips very reluctantly.” For him, to marry so young for the sake of a child, he would of course harbour some resentment.”

“Eh?”

“I’m sorry to tell you about this,” He seemed to feel he had misspoken, so he shook his head, “but there’s no other person around me to talk to, so…”

“You married for the child?”

“I got this kid because I wanted to be with him,” he said. “I’ll suffer for my own mistakes.”

.

Rong Yi felt that it was probably because he was almost a stranger to him that he could speak out these words without hesitation.

The plot of the story was not uncommon.

Li Xiaoran had countless admirers in those days, but he had never dated anyone and seemed to be uninterested in love relationships.

But he was ultimately an Alpha with an irresistible instinctive impulse to Omega’s pheromones.

In order to be with him, his current companion had used some less honourable measures. Li Xiaoran accepted the trick at the time, but his heart was never willing.

Now, the two people were both regretting it.

But for the sake of their child, they could only continue to make do with it.

As a bystander, Rong Yi did not know what to say after listening to the story. Fortunately, the other person just wanted to find a tree hole to pour his story in, and had no intention of asking him to come up with an idea.

“Anyway, I have Yaoyao,” smiled the man. “I just wish he could grow up, carefree and happy.”

Rong Yi held it back for a long time, but in the end still tentatively said: “… In fact, children are very sensitive. He may not be happy if his parents are reluctant to be together.”

The man looked at him in silence.

“I’m sorry, I am meddling again.” Rong Yi reached out and scratched his hair.

.

When Rong Yi came back to the table, the big Yao Yao was tickling the little Yaoyao, and seemed to laugh more happily than the little one. When he saw his new friend being led away by his parent, he seemed very reluctant to part.

Chen Keyao obviously wanted to play with him for a bit longer, but Rong Yi felt that his parent would not want to have more contact with them. Good tree holes should disappear completely from one’s world immediately after one had poured his heart out.

“What did you two do just now?” Chen Keyao asked him.

“Just a casual chat about the past.” Having said that, Rong Yi thought for a moment, and then summoned up the courage to ask, “Can I ask you a question?”

“Why suddenly look so serious?” Chen Keyao looked at him curiously. “Go ahead.”

“If it’s inappropriate, you don’t have to say anything,” Rong Yi was being very careful, “because… It may be a bit impolite.”

Chen Keyao frowned slightly, then nodded, “OK, ask away.”

“Did you find out from a very young age… that your parents didn’t get along well?

Chen Keyao was stunned for a moment and then said with a bitter smile, “Yes. You only wanted to know that?

“Well…”

“Do you think that Sister Lan has a very good personality and is especially gentle?” Chen Keyao asked.

“Of course,” Rong Yi nodded. “Isn’t she?”

Chen Keyao still had a bitter smile on his face. He shook his head. ‘It wasn’t until they divorced that I realized she was such a nice person. I had believed from childhood that she was a neurotic and hysterical person.”
