Because I Cannot Hurt You-Chapter 14: Fan the flames

"Boo!!"

Siying was startled and immediately heard a girl's voice giggling behind him.

"Leina!"

"I scared you! I scared you!" She hopped up and down.

"No. I was not scared at all! Hmph!"

"Don't lie, Siying! I saw you jump up in fear, haha."

Suddenly, he saw a woman dressed in white tees and jeans coming towards, pulling over her glasses.

"Aunt Ah Cy!" Siying ran towards her.

"Siying, my boy!" Ay Cy chirped, and her gaze brightened. She picked him up and kissed both cheeks. "Ah, I missed you so much, my handsome prince."

He giggled. "I also missed my princess a lot."

Ah Cy pouted. "Hey! Call me a queen. Princess sounds too weak and pitiful, like a damsel in distress. I can break someone's a bone or two in no time. So no princess."

"But I am a prince."

"Ah, then it's my fault. You are the King, and I am the Queen."

Siying said, "But King and Queen are husband and wife. That's what Mama tells me in the stories. So, what is Uncle Liang then?"

Ay Cy rolled her eyes. "Of course, he is our butler, duh. He serves the mighty us!" And she twirled him in the air. "How can he be my King when I got you?"

Siying laughed out loud.

Then he asked, "Aunt Ah Cy, are those muscles?"

He looked at her slightly muscular arms in wonder. He always saw only muscular men on the TV, not women.

"Aha!" Ah, Cy grinned. "Aren't they awesome? This helps me to break a bone or two of some shitty people that I meet."

Ah Cy was the most famous nutritionist and gym trainer too that matched perfectly with Liang's pharmaceutical business. Their careers suited aptly in the health and medical field, and both liked fitness. Along with that, they were well versed in martial arts too.

Siying nodded hard. "They are. You look cool."

She winked at him. "Oh, yes. I brought a lot of gifts for you, and after school gets over, we will unwrap all of them!"

"Yayyy!"

"Thank you. At least somebody appreciates them. Out butler is such a bummer. A party pooper. He doesn't enjoy the essence of shopping at all," she sighed.

Poor Xu Liang was always the target of their jokes.

Then Siying pouted and pitifully looked at her. "Aunt, listen to this. Leina and I just met, but she is bullying me already…"

"Leinaaaaa…" she narrowed her eyes.

Leina innocently shook her head. "No, Mama! I did not bully him!"

"No, she booed me from behind."

She chuckled. "Well, then wait for your chance and boo her from behind her too. The King can never be defeated by such petty tricks! We shall rise and strike!"

"Mama!"

Leina was shocked that her own mother was helping in plotting against her.𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Yes, Aunt Ah Cy!" Siying got fired up.

Ah Cy put him down and asked, "By the way, where is Xinyi? I thought I would meet her in school today. Doesn't she always drops you at school?"

"En! But Dada said that he needs Mama in the office today for work. So, Uncle driver dropped me today."

"Ah I see. No problem. We are coming over to your house anyway tonight."

"Really!?" The kids were delighted. "It will be so much fun! We will play a lot of games!"

"Yes, yes we will."

The teacher called out again. "Siying, where are you? Oh, Mrs. Xu. Welcome. And welcome back, Leina."

Leina smiled. "Hello, teacher!"

Ah Cy nodded. "Thank you. Ah yes, you can take the kids inside now. It's class time."

"Bye, Mama!"

"Bye, Aunt Ah Cy!"

She giggled and waved her hand.

As she walked away, she suddenly stopped and quickly looked back as she noticed a familiar figure. But that silhouette was already gone.

Was that... Caihong?

Liang said that they are back in Beijing but was it really her, or was I hallucinating?

I think it's a mistake. Why would she be here in this preschool anyway?

Han villa.

Han Guang excitedly rushed into her room and closed the door behind her. "Mingli! Listen to this!"

Han Mingli asked, "What happened? You look like you won a lottery."

"It's as good as winning a lottery! Caihong is back!"

He widened his eyes and stood in shock. "What!? Weren't they abroad?"

"Yeah, it's good that your niece is back, but I still don't understand why you are so happy."

Han Guang said, "You are unbelievable. She is just not my niece but Zhiyuan's first love. Are you getting where I am going with this?"

He looked at her dumbfounded. "You cannot be thinking of bringing them back together, right?"

"Of course I am! Zhiyuan still loves her. He is still searching for her. Why? Because he cannot forget her. If we make him divorce Xinyi and marry Caihong, then he would be our puppet! He will do whatever Caihong says, and she will do what we want. I am her Aunt, after all. Han Corps, this villa and all the property worth billions would become ours in no time."

Han Mingli shook his head. "Are you crazy? This plan looks easy but is impossible on so many different levels. First a fall, you forget the fact that Caihong is married too. To Zhu Xiaosi. It's not just Zhiyuan has to divorce but her too. Instigating two divorces? That's impossible!

"And second and the most important thing. Uncle Huizhong. He is the biggest hurdle. As if he would ever let this happen. You know how much he hates her. Otherwise, Caihong and Zhiyuan would have already gotten married in the first place."

Han Guang snorted. "Oh, come on. Can you not look at the positive side? This is a sign that we can change things now to our advantage. And Caihong has also always loved Zhiyuan. So, her divorce is not that impossible either. Can you imagine what would happen when they meet again? Of course, their love and sparks will strike back. We just have to fan the flames and make them stronger."

She sneered. "And I know just the person who can help us with that."
