Beat around the bush (idiom)- To delay or avoid talking about something difficult or unpleasant .
A scream emerges from the front door . Jiang Yuan’s smiling face suddenly turns dour the moment she sees An Chuxia’s pale face . She quickly rushes to Chuxia’s side .
“An Chuxia baby, what’s wrong? Why are you vomiting?” Suddenly, Jiang Yuan’s face stiffens . “Should we be… rejoicing?”
Can her black line be full? A frustrated An Chuxia shakes her head . She takes the towel steward Han gives to her so she can wipe her mouth . She takes a drink of water before taking a deep breath of air . She vomited because she is nauseated . She is nauseated because Han Qilu is disgusting… for actually bedding Lila .
She has always thought Han Qilu is someone who won’t casually sleep with anyone . She didn’t want to think too much about it . How can he kiss her so passionately and so often when his lips have kissed Lila? The image is too overwhelming for her .
“Do you still feel sick?” Jiang Yuan frowns . She turns to steward Han and says, “What are you doing? Go call Dr . Jiang and figure out why she’s sick . Are you sure you’re not pregnant?”
She would’ve been laughed, however, this moment was no laughing matter . She says, “Don’t worry . I think I’ve just been in the car too long and got a little motion sickness . Steward Han, may I bother you to bring me a glass of orange juice?”
Steward Han bows and fetches her a glass of orange juice . Color starts returning to Chuxia’s face . She takes a deep breath and silently tells herself, from now on, stay far away from Han Qilu, far, far away from him . After all, he’s a devil… .
**
Han Qilu doesn’t come home for dinner . An unspeakable expression paints Jiang Yuan’s face . An Chuxia stuffs an orange slice in her mouth before looking at Jiang Yuan . She reluctantly says, “Mama, just say what you want to say, as directly as you can . I’m not really used to this . ”
A dry laugh escapes her lips before she turns her face toward An Chuxia . She carefully says, “I heard from steward Han that you bumped into the bastard by the World Trade building with the daughter of one of our guests . ”
Chuxia shrugs before saying, “I’m not worried about it . I didn’t mind . ”
Upon hearing her response, Jiang Yuan’s expression becomes unsightly . She moves her lips as her eyes quickly glance at her . “That, the fact… right! You saw this morning’s paper, right?”
She nods slightly before replying in a soft voice . “I saw it, mama . Since it’s just us, I’d rather want you not to beat around the bush . ”
Buddha has made a very important decision . Jiang Yuan snaps her teeth . “What I want to say is… The girl you met, inexplicably, is betrothed to Qilu . ”
“What?” She didn’t think of this possibility, nor did she expect Jiang Yuan to drop this bomb . As soon as she recovered from shock, she asks herself, has freedom arrived?She should feel elated, but why does her chest feel so empty?
Jiang Yuan lets out a sound, tears flow from her eyes . “Han is a bastard . When Qilu was young, a shi*ty engagement was set between them . Now that they have a project together, they started talking about this strange nuptials . What’s there to say… what should I do?”
