Realization dawned upon the reporters.
So that’s what happened!
Among the media people, many were married women who had kids of their own, so they were somewhat sympathetic to Yun Shishi’s plight. They felt that they themselves might not be so noble to sacrifice themselves should they go through what she had experienced.
On second thought, being a surrogate was not exactly a matter that could be spoken freely about, yet the actress had gone above and beyond to repay her foster father’s kindness, which was a feat that they certainly would be unable to acplish!
Besides, which mother would truly be willing to give up her child after going through nine months of pregnancy? That was her flesh and blood! As the saying went, ‘blood is thicker than water.’ It was only natural that the actress would have the selfish desire to keep the twin for herself.
After Yun Shishi revealed her painful past to the public and placed the microphone down, she felt a sense of relief and a weight lifted off her chest; it was no good hiding certain things to oneself, after all.
“I’m immensely grateful that the heavens let us meet again.” Mu Yazhe held her hand tightly and gazed warmly at her; she returned it with an affectionate smile, which got the crowd sighing in envy.
They shared a look of tenderness and understanding, and the man’s eyes, in particular, were practically overflowing with love.
Not even the most superb acting could express this feeling!
One could tell just how much he loved his wife!
What a blessed woman the actress was!
Her good times were finally beginning!
“Chairman Mu, can you introduce the two kids standing next to you?” asked a reporter out of nowhere.
“Of course!” The man gladly agreed and proceeded to carry Youyou in one arm and passed the microphone to him.
A trace of worry crossed the boy’s face; it would be a lie to say that he was not at all nervous to face the media for the first time.
“Huh?” He quietly muttered to his father. “W-What do you want me to say…”
The press burst into laughter, feeling tickled by the child’s naïveté.
His older twin, meanwhile, climbed on all fours to an empty seat next to his mother’s and curiously looked around at the long stage and the flashing lights before him. Even though this was his first time sitting in front of so many people, the excited boy grabbed a microphone and greeted cheerfully with a smile, “Good evening, uncles and aunties! My name is Mu Yichen, and I’m seven years old!”
It drew another bout of laughter from the audience.
The younger boy shyly chimed in. “I’m Yun Tianyou; this name was given to me by my mother! She said that I was born weak and only managed to survive because of the heavens’ pity and blessings, so out of gratitude, she gave me the name ‘Yun Tianyou’! You may call me by my pet name, Youyou, though! Mu Yichen was born fifteen minutes earlier, so he’s my big brother!”
“Eh? His last name is Yun?”
Chatters broke out among the crowd at the news.
Another reporter curiously asked, “Do you have any intention of changing your surname to ‘Mu’, boy?”
“I want to use mommy’s last name!” answered the boy sans a hesitation. “I was born with the name ‘Yun Tianyou’, so this name will stick with me forever! I won’t ever change it!”
