Chapter 454 Yu Haitang's Hint
Just as she was trying to hold on and continue moving forward with difficulty, a familiar and warm voice suddenly sounded in her ears, interrupting her thoughts.
"Haitang, why did you come to the cafeteria alone? Isn't Yushui with you?" There was some concern and surprise in her voice. It was the kind-hearted Aunt Qin in the courtyard.
Yu Haitang paused involuntarily and stiffened slightly when she heard this. She turned around quickly and met Aunt Qin's concerned eyes. Aunt Qin was standing not far away, holding a lunch box in her hand, her eyes full of questions and concerns.
A thought flashed through Yu Haitang's mind, and she felt a little embarrassed. She forced a smile and tried to make her voice sound more relaxed:
"Aunt Qin, why are you here too? Yu Shui...she had something else to do, so she didn't come with me."
As she spoke, she unconsciously stroked her belly, trying to use this as an excuse for her inconvenience. However, this action only exposed her weakness and discomfort at the moment.
Aunt Qin immediately understood what was happening, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Haitang, are you feeling unwell? Looking at your complexion and the way you walk, why do you seem to be sick?"
Seeing this, Yu Haitang couldn't hide it any longer, so she could only smile bitterly and nodded: "Yes, Aunt Qin, I might be a little uncomfortable. I wanted Yushui to help me get food, but she..."
Having said that, Yu Haitang's lips curled up into a bitter smile, and she shook her head gently, as if she wanted to temporarily put aside the helplessness and loss in her heart.
Then, she cleverly changed the subject, her eyes flashing with curiosity and kindness: "Aunt Qin, why did you suddenly think of coming to the steel mill today?"
When Aunt Qin heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter. She quickened her pace and walked over to Yu Haitang, taking her hand affectionately, as if they were old friends who had met after a long separation.
"Oh, Haitang, don't you know? My old lady loves to eat meat, especially the meat from the canteen of the steel mill. She says it's much more delicious than the meat outside.
Just today, my husband Qin said there was meat for lunch and asked me to take his portion back, so I hurried here. I didn’t expect to meet you on the way. What a fate.”
Yu Haitang listened to Aunt Qin's words, secretly grateful for this sudden "fate". She looked at Aunt Qin gratefully, but then she thought of He Yushui, and her face couldn't help but dimmed a little.
She bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to speak: "Aunt Qin, actually I also wanted to come to the cafeteria to get food today, but...ah, let's not talk about it.
Now that I have met you, let's go together. I was thinking of asking the rain to help me, but now it seems that I can only trouble you to accompany me all the way."
Having said this, Yu Haitang's face showed some apology and embarrassment, but she quickly hid these emotions under a smile.
Aunt Qin nodded, her eyes full of understanding and tacit understanding, as if she had read the worries in Yu Haitang's heart.
The two walked side by side on the path leading to the cafeteria. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of warmth to this ordinary afternoon.
Yu Haitang remained silent, her eyes sometimes staring ahead, sometimes looking down, as if she was having a silent conversation with some unspeakable emotion deep in her heart.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were tightly pursed, revealing an indescribable complex emotion. Aunt Qin saw it and became even more curious. She wanted to ask several times, but she was afraid of touching Yu Haitang's sensitive points. In the end, she just sighed softly and chose to remain silent.
As the footsteps gradually approached, the noise of the cafeteria gradually became clearer. Yu Haitang stopped and stood at the entrance of the cafeteria. She took a deep breath, as if preparing for the upcoming "battle".
She turned to look at Aunt Qin, her eyes full of earnestness and determination: "Aunt Qin, I hope you can keep a secret for me about what happened today. I don't want my dad and Yu Zhu to misunderstand anything."
Aunt Qin nodded in agreement immediately after hearing this. Her eyes were full of sincerity and concern. "Don't worry, Haitang. I know what to do. Go get some food. Don't let your child go hungry."
Yu Haitang looked at Aunt Qin gratefully, then walked into the cafeteria without hesitation. Her back looked strong and lonely, as if telling everyone that she could face it all alone.
Aunt Qin stood there, looking at Yu Haitang's receding back, feeling mixed emotions. She had already noticed the relationship between He Yushui and Yu Haitang, and after hearing Yu Haitang's instructions, she became more certain of her guess.
Although she promised to keep it a secret, she couldn't help wanting to share the secret with others. She secretly decided that after returning home, she would find a few trusted old sisters to chat quietly.
