“How adorable! Don’t people usually say sons tend to resemble their mothers more? Youyou, however, is a carbon copy of your young self!”
The scheming woman deliberately brought the topic back to their childhood days so that the actress could not join in the conversation. In short, the former was simply ostracizing the latter through her words and actions!
Mu Yazhe asked, “Is that so?”
“Yes! He looks exactly like you when you were young.”
“Well, he’s my son, so it’s only natural for him to take after me.” After a pause, he added, “But then again, we’re not a hundred percent alike; his eyes resemble Shishi’s more!”
Shishi…
How affectionate it sounded!
Once upon a time, he used to call me ‘Xuanxuan’ in such an intimate manner, too!
Rong Xuan bit her lower lip silently, her eyes turning slightly reddish out of envy and jealousy.
“How nice it is for you to have a son already. I’m envious. Unlike you, I’m still single and unable to find my fated match to date. My parents have been urging me to get married, but I feel that it’s better for me to stay single, for there are still certain things that I have yet to let go and I don’t wish to force myself to let go!” she lamented miserably, which caused the actress to lose her appetite, for she did not know what exactly the other lady was trying to hint at.
…
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Youyou climbed up to the bed, pried the blankets off his brother with much effort, and grabbed the latter’s collar to shake him awake.
Little Yichen peeled open his bleary eyes to see his twin’s close-up face before him, spitting, “Mu Yichen, there’s an evil witch bullying our mother out there!”
“What?!” His sleepiness disappeared at once as his eyes bulged wide. “Who is she?! The nerve she’s got to bully mommy!”
“Hmph! Beats me!” huffed his younger twin. “I noticed the strange atmosphere as soon as I was with them! I’m wondering if that woman is one of daddy’s old flames?”
As if he were to face his enemy, he sat up straight and raised his hand in the air. “Impossible! I swear that there’s no other woman by his side throughout my childhood!”
“How would you know that for sure? It’s not like you stick by his side twenty-four seven.”
“Forget it if you don’t believe me!”
“I don’t care! Just get up this instant and go chase that wicked woman away!”
The older boy nodded and proceeded to get dressed at once.
…
Back in the dining room, Yun Shishi had completely no idea of the ‘huge conspiracy’ her two kids were planning! Her head was bowed as she listened to the conversation between her husband and his childhood sweetheart.
“So you’re here in Italy for your bridal photoshoot?”
“Yes!” The man gave her an indulging look as he smiled. “I can’t be sloppy with the wedding affair. Even the photoshoot has to be done properly. After all, I owe her a perfect wedding, and it’s been long due!”
Rong Xuan’s smile faltered some more at that; she found her visit here to be torturous, which was only inevitable, for she had to endure seeing the man whom she still loved dearly pouring his entire love and affection onto another woman!
