Mother?

Yun Xi could see that the car was moving towards the outskirt of the city. As they went on, the surrounding was getting more serene and peaceful. Hardly any people could be seen on the street and even vehicles were very few.

When they reached a certain point, Yun Xi heard Mo Shan speak, “From here starts Mo’s property.” When she looked around to see if there was any mansion or villa ahead, there was none. The street was surrounded by trees on both sides and the surrounding seemed like a forest. At that time, she knew that Mo family was even richer than she thought.

After driving about 20 minutes from that point did Yun XI finally see a mansion in a distance. It looked so magnificent and beautiful. For her, it was like a castle, and thought that she will get lost in there if she walked there alone.

After a while, the car came to stop just outside the mansion. Mo Shan first got out of the car and went to open the door for Yun XI. But before he could do that, someone ran past him and opened the door for her. He saw that it was none other than his own betrayer son.

When Yun Xi saw that it was Xiao Hui who had opened the door, she was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly got down the car and crouched down to hug him. “Oh my darling, you are the sweetest. I love you the most.” She said smiling. Even if she was not sure about her decision before, but now when she saw Xiao Hui’s behavior towards herself, she knew that she has made the right decision.

“Pretty sister, you are here. I have been waiting for you since morning. I missed you so much.” Xiao Hui said in his sweet voice while hugging Yun Xi.

“Really? Pretty sister did not know that you will be waiting. If I had known, then I would have flown to you the very moment. Forgive pretty sister, huh?” Yun Xi told him.

While they were hugging and chatting, a lone figure stood by their side eating a jar of vinegar. They always forgot about his presence when they get together.

Old Master MO, who was standing at the door, could see that his grandson was feeling jealous. To be honest, Old Master Mo was feeling quite happy inside seeing his grandson being jealous. His wife always used to give her all-time to them when they were children and he always used to be jealous. Now that his grandson was getting the taste of his own medicine, he was actually feeling happy.

While he was feeling giddy in his heart, he felt a glare from his jealous grandson. Mo Shan could tell that his grandfather was enjoying his misery and glared at him.

Old Master Mo was not even a bit afraid of his grandson and instead mouthed, “What?” to his grandson and rolled his eyes. Then, he looked at Xiao Hui and said, “Xiao Hui, don’t keep your mother waiting here. You wanted to show your room and toys to her, didn't you? Now go and show her the house.”

Xiao Hui blushed a little when he heard his grandfather calling his pretty sister his mother. He actually didn’t dislike the idea so he turned his head to Yun Xi and whispered, “Mother?”

When she heard him whisper ‘Mother’, Yun Xi’s eyes turned teary and then replied, “Mmmm, You can call me anything, Xiao Hui.”

Xiao Hui then took her hand and brought her inside the home. He then heard his father’s shout from behind saying “Don’t run too fast. You know that your mother is carrying your younger sibling, right? Don’t make her too tired.”

Xiao Hui rolled his eyes and looked at his father as if looking at a stupid person, “Father, do you think I am still 3 years old? Of course, I know that, you don’t have to worry about us.”

Mo Shan was tongue-tied at his son’s words and felt really embarrassed. Moreover, Yun Xi was snickering behind his son. That son of his was really his enemy. But he could not do anything about it as he knew Yun Xi was most protective of Xiao Hui now.

He could just shake his head and let them go. Then, he and his grandfather also walked inside the hall.

Inside, Mo Sheng was lying on the couch watching TV while munching the watermelon without caring about his image. When he heard some footsteps, he looked up to see who has arrived and as soon as he saw Yun Xi, he put down the watermelon on the table and ran towards Yun Xi calling her “Sister-in-law, you are here. Welcome home.”

If Mo Sheng had a tail, it would have been wagging while hopping around Yun Xi.

Xiao did not like his uncle’s behavior of fawning over his mother because he was afraid that his uncle would get his mother’s full attention. So, he said, “Uncle, you look like stupid right now. And my mother does not like stupid people.”

Yun Xi began laughing hard when she heard Xiao Hui scolding his uncle. Xiao Hui was happy that he made Yun Xi laugh.

Mo Sheng looked at his nephew and said, “Hey brat! What do you mean? Stupid? Who, me? Let me tell you I am the most handsome and smart one here in the family. That face of yours, you got it from me and you calling me stupid, really? How could you do that to your uncle?”

“But you are really stupid, uncle. And I got my looks from my father, not you.” Xiao Hui looked at his uncle and showed his (Xiao Hui’s) tongue to him (Mo Sheng) mockingly.

Mo Sheng looked as if he was very sad and spoke, “I am never gonna talk with you again, bye.” And went back to lay down is the couch.

Xiao Hui just shook his head at his overacting uncle, then took Yun Xi’s hand on his own and said, “Mother, you should not spend your time with stupid people otherwise you become stupid too. So, you should spend more time with smart people like me, okay? Now let me show the house.” Saying this, he took the lead.

Xiao Hui directly took Yun Xi in front of a room on the second floor. He then opened the door to the room and announced, “Mother, this is my room. Come inside.”

When Yun Xi entered the room, she was surprised. The room was so big and looked so grand like the ones in the presidential suite of hotels. She realized that the room’s color was very neutral but what decorated the room was his toys.

There was a separate shelf to keep all his toys. They were mostly the figures of superheroes and there was also a big robot on the corner of the room.

Taking her hand, Xiao Hui led her to seat down on the bed and then he walked to the toys shelf and pointed to each toy and told her about how he got them and all.

Yun Xi was listening attentively to everything he was saying. At one point, she realized that the toys were all gifted to him by Mo family on his birthday. None of them were bought because he really wanted them and whined to get them anyhow. This told her that he really was a considerate child. He never really asked for anything or was always insistent on getting them.

Yun XI could also see that he really liked playing with them and that he cared for each of them dearly. He was not like other children who would play with their toys for few days and when they are bored, they would have thrown their toys. Instead, Xiao was placing the toys on the shelf with his most attention and carefulness. He was afraid of breaking them.

After Xiao Hui finished speaking, he walked to Yun Xi and asked, “Mother, do you know how to cook?”

Yun Xi nodded her head and asked, “Why? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Just tell mother and mother will cook for you, okay?”

Xiao Hui shook his head and replied, “No, I am not hungry. Actually, my home teacher asked me to record a video of cooking with my parents. So, will you teach me cooking, mother?” He asked her earnestly with cute eyes.

Yun Xi pinched his chubby cheeks and said, “Of course, why not? But let’s start after an hour, okay? Then we can prepare the food for the whole family. So, let’s start after an hour. For now, if you have any other home works, then let’s do that first, hmm? I will keep you company.”

“Mmmm, let’s do that.” Xiao Hui readily agreed to her and took his notebooks from his bag pack and laid them on his study table. Yun Xi sat beside him and watched as he did his homework.

Yun Xi realized that Xiao Hui did not need her help. He knew almost everything but she continued to sit on his side patting his head in a while.

Xiao Hui was also enjoying her petting and was liking her company.

Mo Shan and Old Master Mo stood outside the door looking at their interactions which melt their heart, especially Old Master Mo’s. They kept on standing there watching them, then left after a while feeling contented.
