Nian Xiaomu placed the key on the shoe cabinet near the entrance.
She placed her bag down and took out the kaleidoscope that she had brought back from Tan Bengbeng’s apartment last time.
Then, she strolled towards her bedroom.
She sat down on Tan Bengbeng’s bed. The moment she turned around, she spotted Tan Bengbeng’s photo sitting on the bedside cabinet.
Nian Xiaomu placed the kaleidoscope back on its original spot and picked up the photo frame.
She stared at the person in the photograph.
“Bengbeng, you said that you would be my bridesmaid. I am going to get married soon, but why aren’t you back yet?”
“Yu Yuehan said that you told me to interview at the Yu Family just so he could fall in love with me and that as long as I married him, no one else would be able to hurt me… Yu Yuehan is a pervert. Even though I don’t wish to admit this, his words are usually true.”
“Don’t worry, I am about to get married to Yu Yuehan and no one else will be able to hurt me. When will you be coming back? I miss you so much…”
Nian Xiaomu sat crossed-legged on the bed.
She held onto the photo of Tan Bengbeng and mumbled to herself.
It was as if Tan Bengbeng was right in front of her.
In the end, her eyes turned slightly red.
No one knew that she had only had Tan Bengbeng beside her all those years.
To Nian Xiaomu, Tan Bengbeng was her only family member.
Everyone hopes to have their family members present at their wedding.
And watch as she stepped on the red carpet to happiness.
Furthermore, after going through so much, she had always felt that Tan Bengbeng’s disappearance had something to do with her.
“Bengbeng, don’t worry. I will go and look for you with Yu Yuehan after our wedding. You must wait for me, I will surely find you…”
Tears started to roll down from Nian Xiaomu’s eyes as she spoke.
She subconsciously reached out for a piece of tissue.
However, in her haste, she knocked over a bottle of toner from the bedside cabinet.
The glass bottle shattered into pieces with a smash.
Just like some sort of a signal, her crisp voice entered Nian Xiaomu’s mind in an instant and she froze.
A repetitive voice sounded incessantly in her mind.
There seemed to be quarreling voices as well…
“Why is everything I do wrong? Why can’t you trust me for once?”
Someone’s roar out of rage sounded beside her ears.
It sounded hysterical.
Thereafter, something seemed to have been knocked over.
Another loud thud sounded.
“AHHH!!!”
Nian Xiaomu hugged her head with her hands and cowered on the bed.
Mo Qian’s face kept on showing up before her eyes; he looked affectionate at one moment but appeared sinister at the next.
A complex ray of light, which she could not understand, filled his eyes.
“Liuliu, Daddy’s Liuliu, you must grow up healthily…”
“Liuliu, you must be obedient. Daddy and Mummy will come over and visit you after some time…”
“Liuliu is Daddy’s little princess and you can get everything you want…”
“Daddy…”
Nian Xiaomu pulled her hair forcefully with both her hands in an attempt to get a clear look at the person before her.
Her brain was so painful as if it was about to blow up.
Before her eyes, a young girl in black seemed to be following beside her.
However, she had been following a distance behind and dared not go close to her.
She wanted to get a closer look at her, but there was always a layer of mist separating them both.
“Beep!”
The mobile ringtone, that suddenly sounded, forced Nian Xiaomu to snap back to her senses.
She took out her cell phone from her pocket and picked up the call in a state of panic.
Yu Yuehan’s voice sounded beside her ears. “Are you at Tan Bengbeng’s apartment building? I’ll come over and pick you up.”
Nian Xiaomu was trembling all over as cold sweat filled up her forehead.
She held onto her cell phone tightly.
“Yu Yuehan, I remembered everything. It’s Mo Qian… Mo Qian is my father!”
