So they started circling around Xing Ye together with Chuchu.
Xing Yuan wore a look of amusent, watching his usually solemn brother finally get his couppance, feeling absolutely delighted inside.
Oh, dear brother, turns out you’re helpless against girls too!
With a mischievous smile, Xing Yuan turned his head and noticed his mom frowning at him, her eyes showing, perhaps, surprise?
Oh my God! Was he laughing too maturely for a child just now?
Xing Yuan imdiately wiped the smug look off his face, replacing it with the silly grin a two-year-old should have, even letting so drool slip down...
Scared the life out of him! Could mom have realized he’s actually a genius who matches his brother’s emotional and intellectual quotient?
He just didn’t want people to have high expectations of him, so he pretends to be dumb and clueless...
By the ti Xing Yuan realized all this, it was actually too late.
Ran Xiangsi, being his own mother, had long noticed the smartness in this child, but couldn’t figure out why he sotis acted foolishly. Now she’s sure, her youngest son is just pretending to be confused while knowing all...
Besides this realization, Ran Xiangsi looked at her eldest with imnse relief and pride.
"Little Ye, mom knows you’ve always been a kind and gentle child..."
Chu Xiaoge nodded as well, "Little Ye is so charming, knowing how to entertain girls at such a young age! Could it be inherited from his dad?"
Ran Xiangsi, "..."
Alan smiled watching the four kids playing in the yard, it seed to take him back to the tis when he, Xiangsi, and Chu Xiaoge went to college together.
"I really wish ti could stand still, and we’d never grow old..."
"If we didn’t grow old, wouldn’t we turn into monsters?" Chu Xiaoge laughed, watching the kids grow up day by day as they themselves were growing old.
"As long as our hearts stay young, forever eighteen!" Ran Xiangsi leaned in, hugging her two chatty friends from both sides, her eyes slightly moistened.
Outside, the kids were happily playing and chasing each other in the sunlight, full of vigor and vitality.
...
Lou Family Mansion.
Lou Xinyu looked down at the piece of paper in her hand.
On it was just a drawing of a mask.
A golden mask.
This was the only clue the man had left Lou Xinyu after that masquerade ball five years ago.
She had always rembered the pattern of that mask, and that man’s eyes!
Slender and almond-shaped! Full of allure, captivating the soul!
Afraid that as ti passed, she might forget, she drew it down.
Fortunately, she had studied sketching for several years as a child, so replicating a mask wasn’t a difficult task for her.
Silently looking at the drawing in her hand, Lou Xinyu slightly gritted her teeth.
She must find that man who ruined her life!
Her teeth clenching with a grinding sound, Lou Xinyu picked up the phone and dialed Shang Dongyuan’s number.
"Don’t forget what you promised . With your engagent smoothly terminated, you have to tell who that man is."
Shang Dongyuan’s voice ca through the phone with a sowhat profound tone, "Don’t worry, I rember your matter. Will you attend tonight’s welcoming party? I can tell you face to face."
"Are you serious?" Lou Xinyu’s heart nearly skipped a beat; she thought Shang Dongyuan had rely been using her. She didn’t expect he really knew the man’s identity?
"Of course, I’m serious." Shang Dongyuan gave a definite answer and then hung up the call.
