Chapter 116 Visit To The Cemetery

CHAPTER 116
A quiet land made for the dead. Hundreds of tombstones are well arranged both vertically and horizontally. Some had flowers lying on them, some had pictures while there was nothing on some.
The soft green grass shone brightly because of the rays of sunlight reflecting on them. There were no leaves- both fresh and dry, littering grass as the caretaker of the place cleaned it every morning.
Altogether, the graveyard looked beautiful and calm in some sort of way.
Standing in front of a tombstone that had engraved writing of the name Yang Yuxuan is a lady in her late forties and beside her stood a tall young man.
Yang Chenguang knelt and placed the flowers she had brought on the grave. She had a bright smile on her face compared to the other times she used to come here. She sat comfortably on the grass.
"Hubby I am back. And guess who came with me," she said.
"No, it is not our little Chen this time. He is out for business in another city. He might take a while to come back. But I have someone you will be excited to meet," Yang Chenguang talked as if Mr Yang was there with her. She pulled Yang Wenkai to sir with her, not caring that her clothes might get dirty.
"Hubby our Xiaokai is back."
"Sigh. Mum, I have followed you here every time you wanted to come and you keep doing the same thing over again," Yang Wenkai could not help but shake his head at his mother's actions.
Ever since he came back from the States, he never failed to follow his mother to visit his father. He had only missed a few occasions when his attention was needed at the company. But still, yet, his mother would always act like this whenever they came here.
"And so what? I like doing what I am doing. Quit whining and greet your father," she lightly hit him on his head.
"Sigh. Hey dad. How are things up there? The company is doing well. I still need some advice, especially from you. But you do not have to worry much because I take some from Mr Li and Mr Ye," he paused and let out a small laugh.
"Those old men tease me a lot. They say I look like and act like you also."
"Uh-huh. You know why they said that, hubby? It is because he always refuses to leave my side when all of us go out and you do that too. They force him to play golf with them and leave me with Suyin and Mingyu," Mrs Yang added.
"What is so bad about that dad? Is it illegal to always stay with my mother? Besides, I have been away for so long. I want to make up for all those years I was supposed to be with her," he pouted.
"Yeah yeah. No one said anything about clinging to your mum is a crime. They just want you to not turn into mummy's boy. In fact, you should get yourself a girlfriend, right hubby?"
"Urgh. Here you go again with the get yourself a girlfriend talk." He lay down and placed his head on her lap.
"Xiaokai why do you not want a girlfriend? I want a cute little grandson. Your aunt Ye already has an adorable granddaughter from her son and he is two years younger than you. I bet my hubby wants one too," she played with his hair.
"Sigh. Well, I have not found a suitable woman yet. If I find the right one I will know. Just like the way dad found you," he said.
"Uh-huh. Do you think you can lie to me? I know you have someone in mind. Who is it?"
"No one mum."
"Oh come on. You have to tell me and your dad. No one is here to hear you," she whispered.
"Is it uh... that secretary at your company?" She asked.
She had seen a pretty lady with Yang Wenkai when she went to the company to see him one day. From the looks of things, she noticed that the lady liked her son. She saw how the secretary blushed when he spoke and the way she would smile and move her body to gain his attention.
But her cold son did not even bat an eyelid at the lady. Still, Mrs Yang feels that her son has little feelings toward the woman. Meanwhile, at the mention of the secretary, Yang Wenkai's face contorted in disgust.
"Hell no mum. How could you even think of that woman? She is way out of my league and she flirts a lot. It became so irritating and bothersome that I had to fire her. She behaves like a woman on heat," he spat out.
"Gasp. Oh my, that is very... Uh bad. Okay so if it is not the secretary....then it should be," she tapped away on her chin as she thought of whom to call next.
It was difficult as the number of women in her son's life could be counted. They were very very few and it was rare to see him with a woman.
Mrs Yang continued thinking and thinking until an idea popped up in her mind.
Ding!!
"Oh oh, I get it. I get it. I know who she is. I have a lady in mind now. Is it Ye...Yumi?"

*Cough cough cough*
"Is she the one? She is the one, is she not?" She asked as she searched for anything on his face and eyes to clarify her guess.
Just then she saw it. The light reaction she is searching for. At the mention of her name, his face soften and the side of his lips raised a little.
"She is not the one mum. Stop kidding and guessing already," he avoided her prying gaze a d stood up from where he lay.
He wiped the grasses that has clung to his clothes and adjusted his green T-shirt before turning to her. His face had returned to normal now.
"Let us go, mum. We still have to meet up with others and we do not want to delay and make them wait for long now, do we?" He said.
Mrs Yang smiled and stood up. She did the same thing Yang Wenkai had done and looked at the grave of her beloved hubby.
"Hubby we will be going now. We will come again. But rest assured, your son has someone he likes," she said and blew a kiss on the grave.
"Mum you...sigh. Nevermind anyway. Goodbye, dad. Have a nice day," Yang Wenkai bowed and left with his mother to the car waiting for them at the entrance of the cemetery.
The chauffeur quickly got out of the car when he saw them coming. He bowed respectfully and opened the door for his madam and young master to get in.
Yang Wenkai helped her in before he stepped in and the chauffeur closed the door. After he got into the car, he asked about their next location.
"Where to young master?"
"To the usual golf course. Be careful while driving," Yang Wenkai said and the man started the car and drove off from the cemetery to the golf course where they would meet up with Mr and Mrs Li and Ye.
It took them an hour to get to the designated place. They strolled to their normal meeting spot and saw that all of them were there. But what left Yang Wenkai in shock or maybe... surprise is that Ye Yumi he and his mother talked about also came.
She looked beautiful in that yellow sundress she is wearing. He was captivating and his mother just happened to notice it and she smiled mischievously.
Mrs Yang rushed up to meet her friends and greeted them with a bright smile.
"Chenguang. How are you?" Mrs Li asked as they all exchanged hugs and kisses on the cheek.
"I am fine thank you for asking."
"What took you guys so long? I was dying to see you," Mrs Ye asked playfully.
"I'm sorry about that. Xiaokai and I went to the cemetery to visit Xuan," she said.
"Well look who is here with us today. Come and give your aunt a big hug Yumi"
"Good afternoon aunt. You look beautiful as always," Ye Yumi complimented.
"Thank you. You look beautiful too," Mrs Yang returned the compliment.
"Good afternoon aunt Ye and aunt Li and Ye Yumi," Yang Wenkai's manly voice was heard from behind the women.
"Oh, Xiaokai. Good afternoon. Your uncles are already playing at the field," Mrs Li said.
"Oh right. Mingyu, Suyin come with me," Mrs Yang said and dragged her friends with her.
"Wait. What of Yumi?" Mrs Ye asked.
"Xiaokai will take care of her, right Xiaokai?" Mrs Yang asked.
"Yeah, I will. You guys should have fun" he said.
"Great. Let's go ladies." The three women walked away leaving Yang Wenkai and Ye Yumi alone.
