Mu Huan looked at her silently for a while before saying, “Follow me up.”
Mu Huan brought Xue Yun to the guest room upstairs.
After Xue Yun sat down, she opened the thermos that she had brought over. “Xiao Huan, I remember that when you were young, you loved to drink the red bean soup I made. It’s rare for us to meet anymore, so today, I made some for you and brought it over. Come and try it. See if it still tastes like when you were young.”
Mu Huan looked at the red bean soup that she had poured out and her eyes darkened. “If there’s anything you need, just say it. There’s no need to be like this.”
“In your heart, am I already someone who treats you well just for my own benefits?” Xue Yun looked up at her and said with reddened eyes, “Xiao Huan, we’re mother and daughter… Why did things turn out this way…?”
Mu Huan’s eyes reddened as she looked at her.
Who would have thought that the person she once loved the most would end up like this with her?
“Mom still remembers that when you were young, you would always tell me that the person you loved the most was me and that you would always love only Mom…” Although Xue Yun really didn’t want to recall everything that had happened in the Mu family, she couldn’t deny that she was happy when she was with the Mu family. Especially after Mu Huan became sensible, she was so obedient and cute. She would sweetly call her Mom every day. Among the many people who loved her, she would always say that she loved Mom the most and only wanted to be with her.
She could still remember clearly how proud and happy she was back then. She could also remember how adorable and beautiful her daughter was when she was young.
“Xiao Huan, now… why have we become so unfamiliar…? I’m your mother, the person you love the most in the world…” Had she forgotten that the person she loved the most was her mother?
Mu Huan did not speak. She did not know what to say. She did not want this to happen. She had never thought that she would be able to see her mother again. She also did not expect that one day, the relationship between her and her favorite mother would become like this.
But she sat opposite Xue Yun.
“Xiao Huan, no matter how much I’ve changed, I’ll always be your mother. I’ll always love you in my heart. Although I’m biased, I’ll always think of you no matter what. I want you to do better and be happier.”
With that, Xue Yun wiped her tears and passed the red bean soup to Mu Huan. “Come, Xiao Huan, try it.”
Mu Huan reached out to take it.
“Try it and see if it tastes the same as before.” Xue Yun looked at Mu Huan eagerly, hoping that she would drink it.
Under her expectant gaze, Mu Huan lowered her head and looked at the red bean soup in her hand.
Seeing that she wasn’t drinking, Xue Yun asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like red bean soup now?”
Mu Huan looked up at Xue Yun. “No.”
“If you still like it, hurry up and try it. Didn’t you like the taste of it in the past? When you were young, you could drink a big bowl of it. Now that you’re older, you should be able to drink more.”
“Yes, I can drink more now.”
“If you like it, I’ll cook it for you from now on. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for anything in the future. I came here this time because I heard that you were ambushed and was worried about you. I came to visit you because I wanted to try to convince you to forgive Xiao Xiao…”
Xue Yun rambled on.
“Hurry up and drink it. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
“Okay.” Mu Huan picked up the bowl, put it to her mouth, and took a sip.
After she finished drinking…
Xue Yun said, “Do you want more?”
“Yes.”
Xue Yun poured another bowl for Mu Huan.
