The next day was Sunday. Tian Xinyuan had been worried last night that he would have trouble falling asleep in a new environment. Unexpectedly, after washing up and getting into bed, he quickly fell asleep.
The Omega, who was still in a daze, half-sat up from the bed and couldn't quite make out the situation in front of him. He rubbed his puffy, sleepy eyes and slowly realized that he was no longer in the home where he had lived for eighteen years.
According to reason, newlyweds usually have a honeymoon period of about half a month to a month after getting married. But for them, it seems like they are beyond the usual.
Tian Xinyuan is currently in his third year of high school and cannot afford to take too many days off for his studies. Additionally, he had already taken a year off from school due to health reasons, so this year became even more crucial for him. It is not very convenient to take such a long vacation.
Of course, Ye Chen had no objections to this. They were not familiar with each other at all, so going on a honeymoon would only increase awkwardness.
Inside the wardrobe, several sets of clothing in Tian Xinyuan's size have long been prepared. It is estimated that his measurements were noted down during the custom tailoring of his wedding suit, and a few sets of clothes were also bought and placed in the wardrobe of their new home.
After Tian Xinyuan finished tidying up and came downstairs, he looked at the empty living room and realized that Ye Chen, his newlywed partner from last night, was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he had already left home early.
Just as Tian Xinyuan was staring blankly at the door, someone pushed it open from the outside.
The person who walked in was not his nominal Alpha, but a strange woman.
More precisely, she was an elderly woman.
It seems like the other person is still holding some vegetables in their hands.
Chen Yi has been following the Ye family for twenty or thirty years, and can be considered as someone who witnessed Ye Chen gradually growing up. This time, Yu Yao specifically arranged for her to go and take care of their meals. One is a workaholic, and the other is a student. It would be strange if they both knew how to cook and take care of each other.
And Aunt Chen herself also had a good eye for things.
"Young Master, you're awake. I was sent by the Ye family to take care of your daily meals. My surname is Chen, and you can call me Auntie Chen, just like Young Master Ye does."
Aunt Chen smiled charmingly as she looked at the Omega boy in front of her. She had heard from Yu Yao about the young master of the Tian family, Tian Xinyuan, before coming here. Now, seeing him in person, she couldn't help but find the child endearing and likable, just as he appeared - obedient and clever.
According to Tian Xinyuan's identity, she should be addressed as "Madam," but since the child is still young, it might be a bit uncomfortable for her in terms of identity. In the end, the most appropriate title is "Mom."
"Ah, don't worry about me. I'll go make breakfast for you right away."
Tian Xinyuan felt a little embarrassed. He awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Uh... Aunt Chen..."
Mrs. Chen, upon hearing him calling her, immediately responded enthusiastically.
Actually, there's no need to address me as Young Master. Just calling me by my name... will suffice.
Aunty Chen gave him a very familiar feeling, and there was no need for such a formal address either.
"Okay, okay."
At home, Tian Xinyuan didn't do much all day. His homework and schoolbag were not within his reach. Aunt Chen was also someone who loved to chat, so she took advantage of the free time to chat with the child in front of her about some topics related to the Ye family.
Most of them started talking about Ye Chen.
As Tian Xinyuan sat on the couch watching TV, he was forced to listen to many embarrassing stories from Ye Chen's childhood.
One of the things that interested him the most was the various mischievous things that the other person and his elder brother, Tian Ke, did when they were young.
Tian Xinyuan found it amusing. It was like discovering another side of someone. He quietly made a note of these things, thinking that he would share them with Tian Ke when he returned one day. If he could also mock a few more sentences along the way, that would be even better.
"Madam Yu is right, you are a bit young, but you do seem to match well with Xiao Ye, visually speaking." Aunt Chen chatted with Tian Xinyuan for the better part of the afternoon and gradually started to find him appealing. She felt that the younger son of the Tian family, Tian Xinyuan, caught her attention.
Smart and sensible, they patiently listened to me ramble on, without the slightest hint of impatience that most young people would have.
Tian Xinyuan didn't know how to respond to this statement, so he could only smile at her as a form of acknowledgement.
However, he couldn't help but think in his heart: So it turns out that the people of the Ye family are very supportive of this union between himself and Ye Chen?
When Ye Chen arrived home, it was already pitch black outside. He didn't leave work early and rush home because of his married identity. When he entered the house, Aunt Chen greeted him at the door. Ye Chen naturally took off his coat and handed it to Aunt Chen. He then glanced around the living room and, as expected, didn't see the little figure of Omega Xiao Xiao. After a moment of thought, he still asked, "Where is he? Did he eat dinner?"
"Xiao Ye, don't you see what time it is? Yuan Yuan has already gone back to her room to rest," Aunt Chen said as she carefully hung up his suit jacket. Her words were tinged with a hint of grievance.
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, noticing the change in the way the other party addressed him. He muttered those two words under his breath and replied, "Aunt Chen seems quite fond, huh?"
It's obvious who I like and why I like them.
"How could I not like it!" Aunt Chen followed Ye Chen into the living room.
This child is simply too adorable. In my opinion, the marriage proposal brought up by Madam Yu this time is quite a good decision. It's also fortunate that you didn't refuse again, but agreed to it instead.
Ye Chen chuckled imperceptibly, as if he were contemplating the meaning behind her words.
The steps by the foot suddenly turned a corner and went straight towards upstairs.
Aunt Chen took a couple of steps and before she could ask the question on her lips, she heard the other person say, "Aunt Chen, I have already eaten outside and there's no need for you to reheat the dishes for me. It's getting late, so if it's convenient, please stay for the night. It has been a long day for both of us."
Aunt Chen waved her hand and quickly said, "No need to worry, it's not troublesome at all."
Tian Xinyuan, despite appearing young and being raised in a privileged manner, is unlike other children from wealthy families in terms of temperament. Instead of being rowdy, he is remarkably well-behaved and attentive.
Ye Chen nodded at her and went upstairs.
He originally intended to go straight back to his room, but unintentionally stopped in front of the guest room where Tian Xinyuan was staying.
After all, Tian Xinyuan is only eighteen years old, having just become an adult and left home. It's natural for him to take some time to adjust. As his supposed husband, shouldn't I be more concerned about him? Isn't it unreasonable if I don't show some care and attention?
