46 Mommy Deares (1/2)
Ye Shuang, who couldn't understand what Miss Fang meant, left in a haze of confusion. Her simplicity prevailed once more, because she thought to herself, If I cannot understand it, why waste time thinking about it?
Therefore, when she arrived back at the Ye family, Fang Fei's words had already left her mind.
There wasn't anything notable in the next few days. Soon, Thursday morning arrived, and the impressive Brother Ye returned once more to the world.
”My son sure is handsome, then again, that's because he's my son!” Mother Ye prepared a feast for breakfast early in the morning and sat down to enjoy the wonderful view.
Ye Shuang's fingers that held the toast halted in mid-air, and she raised her head despondently. ”Mum, if you continue to do this, I'll really think I was adopted.”
Furthermore, what she looked then had nothing to do with her mother's DNA, it was mainly the contribution of the alien DNA; all that Mother Ye had provided were the raw ingredients, that was all…
Little Brother Ye had disappeared early that morning, knowing it was the day his brother would return. Since it was a holiday, he went out with his group of friends to go looking for fun, or if there was really nothing to do, he would stay cooped up in his university hostel. In any case, running home was a big no-no, because the drastic difference in terms of treatment when he was home was simply too heart-chilling.
The original arrangement in the Ye family of one son and one daughter had been perfectly balanced. Each had their own territory, and when there was occasional partiality, one could still chalk it up to difference between genders.
But now, there were two sons: one handsome, tall, graceful, intelligent, and physically impressive; one short, normal-looking, with normal results at school who would gasp for air after hauling a twenty-kilogram pack of grain. No wonder Mother Ye would be partial; Little Brother Ye understood why his elder brother would be more favored, but even so, being compared thusly still didn't feel so good.
Both Ye Shuang and Ye Feng felt like they had been adopted. Father Ye was their only holdout, but when Father Ye married Mother Ye, they had already decided, he would not intervene into her philosophy of child-raising.
”Xiao Shuang woke up early this morning, right? Is it because of the advertisement shooting?” Father Ye exited his study after finishing the morning paper, like he did every morning, and picked up the chopsticks to dig into the breakfast.
”Yes.” Ye Shuang took a sip of the soy milk. ”The plan is to finish the shoot early, and then I can come home to sleep for as long as I wish.”
Even though she had been suffering from a lack of sleep recently, she had to wake up no matter what that morning because a job awaited. Thankfully, the previous day, she had already considered the issue of another memory influx, so she took a nap in the afternoon. Otherwise, she would have met the world with two heavy, dark circles under her eyes that day. That might have given a bad impression to the crew, thinking he was out late the night before, looking for some late night entertainment.
”Regardless, work is important.” Father Ye nodded in agreement, as he accepted the bowl of white porridge from Mother Ye. He continued to say, ”After you're done with the shoot, remember to ask Xiao Fang about the direction of your future career. The sooner you get that settled, the better.”
This was something that had been heavily discussed, so Ye Shuang naturally wouldn't forget it. She continued to discuss the details with Father Ye throughout breakfast before packing up to leave for work.
Fang Mo didn't show himself at the shoot that day, after all, he was a company manager. Even if he wasn't as busy as others thought, he had to create an image that he was. Showing up the first time could be construed as showing the new actor the ropes, but if he kept on showing up after that, people would think he was indeed a bit too free.
