Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 317 - 312 The Original Look of Love (1)

Yan Yan had sent the address of her new home, which had popped up into her mind at some unknown moment, to her assistant who had accompanied her from Paris to the New York studio.

She instructed her assistant to wait at the house and be ready when the main force arrived.

She asked the assistant to stay behind to check if anything was missing or if they needed help.

Yan Yan was now so exhausted she could hardly keep her eyes open. She was fine during the ride to the airport, but as soon as she dozed off, she was overwhelmingly tired.

Her tightly wound nerves suddenly relaxed, and she knew it would be especially difficult to tense them back up in a short time.

Yan Yan lacked the energy to fuss over her new house. She needed to return to her place, sleep until the world blurred, gather her strength, and then address all these miscellaneous matters.

If she couldn’t figure something out, better not to think about it for now. In less than two days, Y·Y’s shoes would be fully stocked.

Yan Yan had been preparing for this for over half a year and didn’t want to think about anything else at the moment.

The arrival of this group of people was clearly not something that could be explained in a few words.

Just as Yan Yan’s eyes were about to close, Lei Zhaodi, sitting next to her, started chatting.

Aunt Lei was an elder and a good friend of her mom.

Yan Yan couldn’t just say, "Auntie, please don’t talk, I’m so tired, let me sleep first."

Moreover, Yan Yan and Lei Pili’s mom weren’t yet on terms where she could speak her mind openly.

"Yan Yan, about the house thing, your mother didn’t trick me. I wanted to live next to your parents, so I especially asked her to choose two connecting villas. We were neighbors in Melbourne, and now we’re separated by just one wall, almost like one big family," Lei Zhaodi almost took Yan Yan’s hand as she spoke.

"If my mom and dad came to New York by themselves, they’d definitely be bored. They’d be happiest being able to gather for a game of cards or mahjong any time. I was worried they’d get swindled buying a house so casually, and if it caused trouble for your family, I wouldn’t know how to face you all in the future. Back in China, it was so easy for them to buy a house, but it’s not like in Australia or the United States where you just go to a sales center, sign a paper, and pay," these were Yan Yan’s main concerns.

"Don’t worry, there will be no problem with the house. Pili’s former boss came to New York and wanted him to come too. The embassy staff helped with the paperwork several times to make sure there were no issues," Lei Zhaodi was not worried about any problems with the house.

Indeed, both her parents and Wei Fengsui’s parents were no novices, having been in business for so many years.

"If there’s no problem, then that’s the best. It’s probably only you, Auntie, who would follow my mom’s whims," Yan Yan realized then that her parents hadn’t mentioned it to her because they already had a safety net.

"How can you call it whimsical?

I see how your parents are with you and realize that what we’ve done for our Pili is far from enough.

He has been raised by his grandparents since he was little, and we hardly looked after him.

He’d only stay with us during the school breaks.

When you studied in Melbourne, they immigrated there, and now that you’ve settled in New York, they’ve come along to accompany you.

With your family’s large house and business, your parents are willing to give up everything. What do we have in Melbourne that we can’t let go of?"

Everything has already been handed over to Pili’s older brother.

Pili’s dad and I have also decided to learn from your parents and become competent parents, do nothing else, and just spend a year or two with our Pili.

Besides learning to be good parents, we also need to learn your parents’ carefree attitude.

While we’re still healthy and Elsa’s grown up, we should really go out and travel everywhere we want to.

Otherwise, later on we’ll have to help Pili with his kids and won’t be able to go anywhere we’d like to play." Lei Zhaodi met Yan Yan and felt she had a stomachful of words to say to her.

But facing such enthusiasm, Yan Yan really didn’t know how to respond.

Before Yan Yan could reply, Lei Pili’s mother continued speaking:

"Let me tell you, my son’s a fool, preferring not to be promoted to a first-class secretary, he was willing to go to Paris.

We only found out from his leader afterward that there was no suitable vacancy for him in Paris.

If he had gone, it would have delayed him for several years.

We knew Pili wanted to go to Paris because you were there, and he wanted to go find you.

Fortunately, Pili returned from Nigeria and was on vacation, and hadn’t formally submitted his application to go to Paris yet when we heard from your mother that you were coming to New York.

Tell me, if our two families weren’t fated to be connected, how could there be such a coincidence?"

Yan Yan was very tired at this moment, but Lei Pili’s mother’s words still entered her ears without missing a word.

Was Lei Pili originally planning to give up a chance for a promotion to find her in Paris?

This news was much more explosive than what Yan Ling had previously told her about Lei Pili just happening to be coming to work in Paris.

Yan Yan didn’t want to listen anymore because she didn’t know what kind of news was still waiting for her.

Yan Yan really didn’t know how to respond to this enthusiasm from Lei Pili’s mother and thought of a more tactful way to express herself:

"Aunt Lei, I haven’t slept in the past couple of days, and I’m feeling a bit dizzy now. When we get to your new house, please remember to wake me up."

After hearing what Lei Zhaodi had just said, Yan Yan wasn’t as sleepy as before.

But her brain was working slower than usual; Lei Pili’s mother’s words were too much information, and Yan Yan needed time to digest it all.

This time, her parents were obviously getting serious and no longer willing to let Yan Yan do as she pleased.

But she and Qi Yi were getting along just fine now.

If Aunt Lei came to New York with the idea of helping Lei Pili chase after a wife, future meetings between the two families would be so awkward.

Compared to Lei Zhaodi’s thoughts, Yan Yan was more curious about what her own parents were thinking.

And whether her brother Pili had really once considered giving up such an important opportunity for her.

This was indeed a headache-inducing problem; if only Qi Yi were back in New York now.

Qi Yi had said he would return to New York before Y·Y’s shoes launched; Yan Yan wondered if he had settled everything yet.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Yan Yan closed her eyes, and after a while, she still fell asleep in the car.
