Tang Mo’er and Lin Shiyu gave each other a huge hug. “Shiyu, you didn’t bring Little Lemon? You only brought Little Shushu?”
With that, Tang Mo’er bent over and stroked Little Shushu’s exquisite little face. “Aiya, Little Shushu is getting more and more handsome by the day.”
Little Shushu was wearing a checkered shirt and trousers with suspenders. Looking every bit the little gentleman, he possessed a pair of quiet, sparkling black eyes. He politely greeted Tang Mo’er. “Hello, Auntie Mo’er.”
Tang Mo’er promptly gave Little Shushu a kiss. Why did she feel that her own son Gu Yelin was not as adorable as Little Shushu? Little Shushu was simply adorable!
Lin Shiyu tugged at Tang Mo’er’s hand as her lovely red lips curled up in a smile. “Little Lemon’s health isn’t so good, so I didn’t bring her along. Nevertheless, Little Lemon has personally prepared a gift to congratulate Mo’er and Mr Gu’s new marriage.”
With that, Lin Shiyu handed her the present with a flourish. Tang Mo’er took it from her and opened the beautiful box. Inside was a little handcrafted wooden house. A lovely melody started playing the moment the box was opened.
“My goodness, Little Lemon is so talented with her hands.” Tang Mo’er exclaimed.
Actually, Tang Mo’er already heard the wondrous stories swirling about Little Lemon. She had become increasingly beautiful as time passed and was now even lovelier than her mother. The little princess of Castle Guding was the focal point of any event she attended. In addition, it was reported that scores of young masters from wealthy families would gather just outside the Guding carpark in hopes of catching a glimpse of Little Lemon.
It could be said that the Fu Family’s daughter had grown up well-protected within their home, but the fact that she was a great beauty was no longer a secret to anyone.
Little Lemon was a true princess.
Tang Mo’er really liked Little Lemon. But given that she didn’t come today, it probably meant she also didn’t have romantic feelings toward her son Gu Yelin.
It was such a shame! Gu Yelin and Little Lemon got along very well when they were young.
“Shiyu, what is wrong with Little Lemon’s health?” Tang Mo’er asked with much concern.
At the mention of this, traces of pain surfaced in Lin Shiyu’s sparkling eyes. She said in a small voice, “Mo’er, I won’t keep this a secret from you. In the past, we betrothed Yelin and Little Lemon to each other, but now that they have both grown up and don’t harbor romantic feelings for each other, we have no choice but to void the betrothal. Moreover, Little Lemon contracted septicemia when she was young. Although it has since been successfully treated, her health has been rather poor in the past few years. Previously, Sikong privately told me that when Little Lemon becomes an adult, she won’t be able to… bear children.”
What?
Tang Mo’er gasped. She never realized how ill-fated Little Lemon was.
Bearing children was the most basic privilege of a woman.
“That can’t be right. Does Sikong really have no solution? Little Lemon is still young, I am sure she will be healed with the right treatment. Maybe there will be some development.”
Lin Shiyu gave a slight shake of her head. “I can only hope that Little Lemon will be able to find a man who truly loves her and is willing to overlook this shortcoming of hers. We don’t hope for much otherwise.”
Tang Mo’er couldn’t help feeling rather distressed. Why did things have to be like this?
Seeing how upset Tang Mo’er was, Lin Shiyu quickly changed the subject. “Mo’er, why is An’an not here yet?”
“Oh, An’an just called me and said that she and General Lu are caught in a traffic jam. Let’s go into the house first.”
“Alright.”
…
The two families entered the living room. Tang Mo’er and Lin Shiyu chatted in the kitchen, while Gu Mohan and Fu Qinglun conversed while standing by the floor-length window.
The two children were left alone in the living room. Little Shushu and Little Gu Sihan.
Little Shushu sat on the sofa in a very gentlemanly manner. He had been a very quiet fetus when Lin Shiyu was pregnant with him, and as expected, he had a very quiet character. The royal blood coursing through his veins gave him a very princely manner.
Little Gu Sihan took out a packet of potato chips. She looked at Little Shushu with big bright eyes, and asked in a girlish voice, “Brother Shushu, do you want some potato chips? Let me give you one.”
Potato chips were junk food and Little Shushu had never tried them before. As a result, he didn’t like them.
“Sister Sisi, no thank you.”
“Oh.” Little Gu Sihan answered before reaching in to take a chip and stuffing it into her own mouth.
At this moment, Tang Mo’er came out of the kitchen. It should be known that Tang Mo’er was now strictly monitoring Little Gu Sihan’s potato chip-eating habits. She did not allow her to consume too many chips.
Hearing some noise, Little Gu Sihan immediately thrust the packet of chips into Little Shushu’s hands, and said, “Brother Shushu, my Mommy says that children shouldn’t eat potato chips, so you’d better not eat them.”
Lin Shiyu walked over. “Shushu, you shouldn’t be eating potato chips. Look at Sisi, she’s not eating any. What kind of example are you setting for her?”
After being framed so unjustly, Little Shushu glanced down at the bag of potato chips in his arms, before looking at Little Gu Sihan.
Little Shushu, “…”
…
The two mothers returned to the kitchen. Little Shushu and Little Gu Sihan were once again left alone in the living room.
Little Gu Sihan looked at Little Shushu with sparkling eyes as she smiled ingratiatingly. “Brother Shushu, are you angry?”
“No.”
Little Shushu shook his head before taking a chip and placing it by Little Gu Sihan’s lips. “Here, have one.”
Little Gu Sihan immediately gobbled down the chip and gave him a radiant smile. “Brother Shushu, you are so good to me.”
With that, Little Gu Sihan clambered over to Little Shushu’s side and kissed Little Shushu’s face.
“Brother Shushu, I liked you the moment I laid eyes on you. I also want to congratulate you on passing my test. From now on, you are my husband and must buy potato chips for me for the rest of our lives… Oh yes, I should probably tell you I’ve already stamped my mark on your face. You are mine now, there’s no escape for you.”
As Little Shushu looked into Little Gu Sihan’s large, bright eyes, his ears slowly turned red.
“Sirs, please have some tea.” At this moment, Auntie had brought two cups of tea over to Gu Mohan and Fu Qinglun.
Gu Mohan turned and reached over to take a cup. He was completely stunned in the next second. This was because he just saw his own daughter kissing Fu Qinglun’s son.
He also overheard Little Sisi saying that Little Shushu was her husband from now on…
What in theー?
Gu Mohan’s big brain spun rapidly. Now, instead of his son attracting Fu Qinglun’s daughter, his own daughter was being led away by Fu Qinglun’s son?
Noticing Gu Mohan’s strange expression, Fu Qinglun also turned to look and immediately saw Little Shushu and Little Sisi.
Little Shushu was the image of a perfect little prince while Little Sisi was the epitome of an adorable little sprite. They looked extremely compatible.
What could Fu Qinglun say? He gave a sly smile.
“Mohan, it looks like my son has run away with your daughter’s heart. What do you say, should we have another betrothal?”
“…”
Gu Mohan promptly kicked Fu Qinglun.
There was no way he was giving in so easily!
