“People do change and mature after going through certain things . ” Xuxu coyly smiled . “I feel that we’re now a complete body, growing together, changing for the better and dealing with situations together . ”
Yan Weihong smiled . “Actually, both of you didn’t change much since you were young . ”
Xuxu paused for a moment before breaking into a laugh . “Perhaps . ”
The two in front of them were walking very fast for Yan Rusheng had hastened his footsteps . Mu Li had a hard time catching up with him .
She grumbled under her breath . “Can you slow down a bit and spare a thought for your mother who’s wearing heels? Your wife is still right behind too and has yet to catch up with us . ”
Yan Rusheng turned back and saw that Xuxu and Yan Weihong were quite a distance away . He moved closer to Madam Mu Li and sheepishly whispered, “Madam Mu Li, I have a serious question to ask you . ”
Mu Li looked at him, puzzled . “So serious . What do you want to ask?”
Yan Rusheng deliberately lowered his voice . “Did I pee on the bed when I was four years old?”
He was still brooding over this matter because if Xuxu could remember such an incident, he couldn’t understand why he had no memories of it .
Furthermore, Xuxu made it sound so convincing that he doubted himself .
Mu Li knitted her eyebrows, baffled . “What? Pee on the bed?”
Her thunderous voice… Yan Rusheng glared at Madam Mu Li with his peach blossom-shaped eyes . “Lower your voice . ”
He turned and looked behind him uneasily .
A streak of shrewdness flashed across Mu Li’s eyes . She seemed to understand what he meant, and she stifled a grin .
She pretended to recall before shaking her head . “It’s been too long and I can’t remember anymore . But when you were much older, you did pee on the bed . ”
“I peed on the bed before?” Yan Rusheng asked skeptically, “Really?”
Mu Li frowned . “If you don’t believe me, why bother asking me?”
“Alright, if you say so, so be it!” Young Master Yan had been crowned as the‘four-year-old who peed on the bed’ even though he wasn’t willing to accept this truth .
He continued speaking in a hushed tone . “If Xuxu wants to verify this matter later, just tell her that there’s no such matter . ”
“Got it . ” Mu Li looked serious on the outside but was bursting with laughter in her heart . All her facial muscles involuntarily twitched .
This silly son of hers was usually very wise, but in the presence of Xuxu, he actually turned dumb .
Peed on the bed at the age of four—and he actually believed her without realizing that he had been taken for a ride .
The four of them arrived at the city and had a quick meal before heading home .
The atmosphere at home was cold and quiet . Mu Li was the first to step in and she saw Jiang Qinglian and Yan Runan’s wife, Jin Qianqian, seated at the sofa . The TV was turned on, but both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not watching but chatting .
Mu Li’s jaw dropped as she stared at Jiang Qinglian . At one glance, she couldn’t believe that she was her sister-in-law, Jiang Qinglian .
Why did she become so haggard overnight?
“Sister-in-law . ” Mu Li let go of the luggage in her hand and moved towards Jiang Qinglian .
Jiang Qinglian glanced at Mu Li for a moment, and her face turned dull and cold .
She pressed her lips together and remained mum .
But Jin Qianqian, who was seated beside her, acknowledged Mu Li . “Second Aunt . ”
“Qianqian . ” Mu Li smiled at Qianqian and looked down at her tummy . “Your tummy is visible now . ”
Qianqian forced a smile and looked down, her expression darkened .
