Tang Mo’er remained in his arms, her face covered in tears. “What’s… wrong with me?”
Gu Mohan furrowed his brows, kissing her face. “Nothing is wrong with you. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Tang Mo’er slowly lifted her hand, tugging on his shirt. “I’ve thought about it, we’ve gone through so much through these years. I trust you, I trust that you’re still the same man I fell in love with. Now… you’re asking me to sign the papers for a divorce, it must be because you’ve run into a problem. Is it because of… that bottle of contraceptive pills?”
She was intelligent, no matter how many people told her that he had gotten together with another woman, she still trusted him. After thinking through the myriad of different possibilities, she eventually came to one conclusion. It must have been that bottle of contraceptive pills.
Gu Mohan hugged her, wanting her to fuse into his blood and bones. He uttered beside her ear, “Mo’er, we’re now involved in the power rivalry of Country A. Many people are going to be implicated, including the Jun family of Country Z, their lives are on the line too. No one can get out of it so easily. However, no matter how dangerous it is, I will still hold your hand tightly and protect you, I’ll never let go. Remember this and trust me, okay?”
Tang Mo’er had already guessed it correctly before that. Her brother, Yeming had come back and even brought with him the son of the South Duke, Xuan Ying. The son of the North Duke, Feng Lihen also came back. All they were missing is the daughter of the East Duke, the legendary four would have appeared together.
Ever since Jun Mosheng’s death, the president’s spot had landed in someone else’s hands.
But the armed forces of Country Z were still under the Jun family’s control. Gu Mohan’s previous love rival, Jun Chulin was no longer a diplomat, he had already become a commanding officer.
It was a tumultuous time.
She was Lu Yeming’s biological sister, she just couldn’t get herself out of it.
Tang Mo’er loosened her grip, hugging his trim waist as she sobbed. “I don’t want… a divorce, I really don’t want….a divorce…”
I don’t want a divorce…
Hearing her pitiful pleading, Gu Mohan felt as though his heart was clenched tightly by a dark fist. He held her face, kissing away her tears so gently before kissing her eyes. “Mo’er, be good. Listen to me.”
“Didn’t you want a wedding all along? I promise you, once this entire matter is resolved, we’ll hold a grand wedding.”
Tang Mo’er lowered her head, tears couldn’t stop coming out of her eyes. “You’re not allowed to back out when the time comes, if you back out, I won’tーmmph!”
Gu Mohan kissed her on the lips.
Pushing his tongue into her mouth so overbearingly, he explored every corner of it. Tang Mo’er was stunned for just a moment, she hugged his neck, reciprocating the kiss…
…
After Gu Mohan left, Tang Mo’er stayed in the room by herself. Lu Yeming pushed the door open and stepped inside. Tang Mo’er was on the bed, huddling up into a fetal position. She hugged her knees and was in a daze, just like a little girl.
Lu Yeming walked over, touching her head. “Sister.”
Tang Mo’er lifted her head, her tears had all dried up. “Yeming, don’t worry about me. I’m just feeling a little sad, but after today, I’m still that undefeatable Tang Mo’er.”
Lu Yeming held the back of her head, letting her rest on his chest. Tang Mo’er’s eyes watered again. “Yeming, I miss… Dad and Mom.”
If only Dad and Mom were here, it wouldn’t turn out like this.
But Dad and Mom had already left the world.
…
Lin Shiyu went to the hospital and the doctor handed her a sealed envelope. “Miss Lin, the DNA test results are here.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Shiyu sat on the bench along the corridor, slowly opening the sealed envelope.
The results were in black and white. Fu Qinglun was tested to be Little Shushu’s biological father, while there was also a 99.9% accuracy that she was Little Lemon’s mother.
Lin Shiyu read through the test results in full English twice. Though she already had an answer before she even received the test results, it was still astonishing.
She was Little Lemon’s mommy.
He was Little Shushu’s daddy.
For these past six months, she felt as though a part of her heart was emptied out. She felt like she had forgotten about an important someone, it turned out to be them!
Lin Shiyu sat on the bench for a very long time before she calmed herself down and headed back to her apartment.
When the doors opened, a tiny figure ran over. “Mommy, you’re back?”
Lin Shiyu lowered her head to see, it was Little Lemon. Little Lemon had run over to hug her calf.
Lin Shiyu crouched down, stretching out her arms to hug Little Lemon tightly. Tears trickled down her cheeks.
“Mommy, why are you crying?”
“I… have some dirt in my eye…”
“Oh, let me blow it out for you.” Little Lemon held Lin Shiyu’s face, blowing her eye gently.
Lin Shiyu quickly stopped crying, she didn’t want to frighten Little Lemon.
“Mommy, this is for you.” Little Lemon handed a paper bag over to Lin Shiyu.
“What is this?”
In response, Little Lemon only said in a quiet voice. “Mommy, Daddy kept this hidden in his drawer so secretively, it must be really precious. I sneaked it out for you.”
It was always said that daughters were such loving sweethearts. Lin Shiyu smiled with her eyes still slightly watery. “Thank you, Little Lemon.”
…
In the room.
Sitting on the carpeted floor, Lin Shiyu tipped out the contents of the paper bag onto the ground. There was a thumb drive inside, together with a crystal chain. She inserted the thumb drive in her computer, clicking open the contents.
It was a video from one year ago. The scene was of her grand wedding in Mexico, it was held with miles of red carpet, and they both wore traditional robes.
Tang Mo’er and Gu An’an were both in their bridesmaid dresses while recording the video. “Shiyu, you’re getting married today. You must have a blissful life!”
Old Madam suddenly popped into the frame, making a peace sign with her fingers. “Little Shi’shi, don’t worry, if Ah Sen dares to bully you next time, I’ll beat him up!”
She walked along the red carpet with the train of her dress trailing behind her. In the presence of the pastor, standing in front of the man, she saw herself say, “Yes, I do!”
The man lifted her veil, kissing her on the lips.
“Oh my, Daddy and Mommy are doing naughty things.” Little Lemon giggled behind her hands.
The scene changed, only one person left in the frame. Fu Qinglun sat on the couch, looking in the lens so earnestly.
He narrated the entire situation, but it came out just like a documentary——
“Shi’shi, I’m sorry for having to take away your memories like this…
“Little Lemon has already entered Stage 2 chemotherapy. We went with her to cut away all of her hair, we watched her appetite diminish day by day. We watched as she became so tired and sluggish. Together we watched her become a shadow of herself, she’s getting so weak. Do you know what? The other day, when Little Lemon woke up and you weren’t beside her, she told me secretly, ‘Daddy, Mommy secretly cried last night again’…
“Shi’shi, I’m sure you don’t know about this, but do you know what Little Lemon’s birthday wish is every year? It’s for her Mommy to not secretly cry, ever again…”
