Bringing her back to the family had been a gamble in itself . That had been a knot in Old Mrs . Shen’s heart from the beginning . With a sigh, she said, “It’s not too late to meet you now . I’m glad I met you . ”
“Thank you, Grandma,” Yu Lili said .
Old Mrs . Shen nodded her head and looked at Yu Lili . Biting back a smile, she said, “You’re a good kid . When Ou Ming’s hand recovers, come to the Capital together . You are welcome any time . ”
Before Yu Lili could reply, Ou Ming answered first, “OK . ”
“It’s settled then . Whenever you’re coming, give us a call,” Old Mrs . Shen said .
The food arrived quickly . Perhaps it was because of her good mood, but the old lady ate a lot . As she shoved food into the mouth, she didn’t neglect to nag at Yu Lili to eat a little more .
Yu Lili felt her heart warm up . It was a comforting and relaxing emotion .
After breakfast, Yu Lili and Ou Ming packed their luggage and sent Shen Zhilie and Old Mrs . Shen to the airport . After seeing the pass the security inspection, Yu Lili put her hand in Ou Ming’s . She was a little sad to part with the Shens .
Looking up into Ou Ming’s handsome face, Yu Lili commented a little forlornly, “They’ve left . ”
“Yeah . They’ve left . ” Ou Ming eyes turned down . He looked at Yu Lili . In a gentle voice, he said, “When we’re done with our errands, we’ll go to the Capital . ”
“All I have to do is draw for work . I don’t have anything much to do . You, on the other hand, have to wait for your hand to recover . ” Yu Lili glanced at his hand . “Does it still hurt?”
“No,” Ou Ming allowed her to hug onto his whole arm as she walked forward . “Who says you have nothing to do when we get back? Leave your work aside for a while . When we get back, we need to pay a visit to the Bureau of Civil Affairs . ”
Bureau of Civil Affairs… Those few words made Yu Lili’s heart soar . She looked up and into his eyes .
At the same time, Ou Ming look down at her . Both of them gazed at each other . Their respective reflections were visible in the eyes of the other .
Yu Lili said, “Your mother…”
“Shush . We’ll act first, and report it later,” Ou Ming unapologetically said . “When all is said and done, regardless of how she objects, it’ll be useless . She can’t very well force us to get a divorce if we’re unwilling to . ”
“But, if you’re mother finds out, won’t she be dreadfully angry?” Yu Lili asked .
“She’ll survive . I’ve done worse than this before . ” Ou Ming wriggled his lips . “Furthermore, my mother doesn’t dislike you as much as you think she does . Her bark is a lot worse than her bite, but she does actually have a pretty good temper . ”
When Yu Lili heard that, she twisted her lips and sarcastically asked, “Just like you?”
“No . My mother’s temper is better than mine . I take after my father’s temper . Don’t be fooled by my father’s appearances . When he’s angry, he’s really fierce . He’s even hit me many times with a feather-duster before when I was young . ” Ou Ming shuddered as he recounted the memory .
Yu Lili laughed out loud and hit him playfully . “Don’t scare me . I’ll suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder . ”
Ou Ming chuckled and said, “Don’t worry . My dad and Uncle Wen both like you very much . They won’t be fierce toward you . They’ll only be fierce to me . ”
“Really?” Yu Lili asked .
“Yeah . Really . ” Ou Ming nodded his . “Also, not only do we have to settle my parents and the marriage, most importantly, we need to make a trip to F Town . ”
F Town, the place where the woman who gave birth to her and abandoned her resided .
The smile on Yu Lili’s face faded away . She looked downcast, “Will it be of any use? My biological parents were willing to spend money on a surrogate mother, but, in the end, they didn’t take me back . Perhaps they’ve been dead for a long time already . ”
