Chapter 524: This Aunty Looks a Little Familiar

“The child is afraid of strangers,” Li Qin said as she pulled her grandson into her embrace. This child was usually such a lively child, so she didn’t understand why he suddenly refused to acknowledge this woman.

“Aunty,” Mo Ye who had been standing quietly in the corner suddenly spoke and blinked curiously at Li Yumo, then at Shu Man. His fingers kept twisting around the corners of his clothes.

Li Qin and Li Ya both froze and looked at each other in dismay. She had not told the child to say that, so why…

“And this is…?” Li Yumo asked as she looked at Ye Ye. This child seemed to be around the same age as Yuan Yuan and she had initially thought that they were twins but they didn’t look alike at all. This child’s skin was darker and his eyes were smaller and he had single eyelids. He wasn’t an ugly child but he wasn’t blessed with looks that were as lovely as Yuan Yuan’s.

Li Qin looked a little embarra.s.sed as she said, “He’s my…” she wanted to say that he was her grandson but she couldn’t bring herself to say those words.

Li Ya quickly helped to defuse the situation and said, “He’s also Yixuan’s child. He was adopted by the Mo family and his name is Ye Ye. He’s around Yuan Yuan’s age.”

She smiled awkwardly after she spoke since this child’s birth had brought shame upon their familiar. She had also chosen to hide the truth when she made the introductions, afraid that the girl’s parents would not be able to accept this fact.

Then, Yuan Yuan squirmed out of Li Qin’s embrace and walked toward the young woman whom he thought looked very familiar.

He stared at her and after a while, he stretched out his hand and gently tapped her thigh.”read comics on our ReadReadNovelFull.live”

“Aunty…” Yuan Yuan said in a childlike voice. Then, he playfully made a funny face at her, as though he had already met her previously.

Shu Man almost spat out her tea.

She looked at him in surprise and confusion, unable to understand why this child who refused to talk earlier had run over to her side.

Li Qin and Li Ya both froze in shock and they couldn’t understand why Yuan Yuan had suddenly approached Shu Man but refused to acknowledge Yumo.

“Uh…Hi kiddo…” Shu Man, who had never held a child nor played with a child, smiled awkwardly at him and stretched out an arm to pinch his cheek. Then, she didn’t know what else to do nor how she should communicate with such a young child.

Soon, the gates to the Mo mansion opened and the loud hum of a car’s engine could be heard.

Yuan Yuan ran out excitedly the moment he heard this noise and Mo Ye followed closely behind him. The two boys stood at the doorway and waved their hands at the black car that rolled into the driveway.

“Pa pa…” Yuan Yuan shouted loudly. He would run out every day the moment he heard the sound of a car engine and already knew that his father’s car was black while his mother’s car was white.

Mo Yixuan stepped out of the car. He wore a black tweed jacket that was left unb.u.t.toned to reveal a cream-colored knit sweater and a light grey scarf that he matched with black long trousers. He looked tall and professional while his outfit accentuated the length of his long legs.

He usually wore a business suit, so it seemed like he had specially made the effort to dress up today. His hair was already newly trimmed and his short, cropped hair made him look even more handsome and livelier, as though he was in his twenties.

Yuan Yuan ran over to the car and wrapped his arms around his father’s legs and looked up at his father who was much taller than him.
