Chapter: 1036 (2/2)

“Mother, the mister is here!” Hu Yanlin greeted Yu Ruyan respectfully first and then greeted Qing Shui.

Last time he had given the small fella a gift, this time he gave him some Fragrance Fruits to eat.

“Mother!”

Duanmu Lingshuang was happy. He could tell by the expression on her face. Duanmu Lingshuang hugged Yu Ruyan’s arm and signaled a greeting to both Qing Shui and Hu Yanlin before walking to the side with her mother.

“Mister, let’s go rest over there. Yanlin is happy that he could see Mister,” Hu Yanlin, who was holding onto the hand of his son, said to Qing Shui with a smile.

Qing Shui laughed, he had given too much to Hu Yanlin before. Hu Yanlin naturally had seen Qing Shui and Yu Ruyan embracing, but he did not ask. As if pretending nothing had happened, he deeply respected Qing Shui from the bottom of his heart.

…………………………………………………….

“Mother, when did Qing Shui get here?” Duanmu Lingshuang asked while laughing. She seemed to have understood a few things. Even her attitude had changed. She was no longer as cold as before.

Especially since the birth of her son, this created the greatest change in her life. She understood that raising a child was not an easy thing. Naturally after her marriage with Hu Yanlin, she knew that a single woman being the pillar of the Duanmu Clan was not a simple feat. More importantly, there was no one that could understand her since the death of her father. She had never seen any men get close enough to her mother, even though she had once suspected her mother and Qing Shui’s relationship.

In the beginning, she had been resistant but she had never seen her mother and Qing Shui overstep their bounds. Now that she had seen her mother being intimate with a man, she did not feel any displeasure.

“15 minutes before you arrived.” It was the first-time Yu Ruyan felt flustered in front of her daughter.

Yu Ruyan was at ease with her daughter. She knew her daughter’s personality well. Yu Ruyan had cherished her daughter during the years of her daughter’s upbringing. Yu Ruyan did not even dare raise her voice because this was the last shelter to the loneliness within her heart. She did not dare shatter the only thing holding her together spiritually and mentally.

That was the reason why she distanced herself from Qing Shui when she realized her daughter had feelings for him. However, as though fate was playing games with her, she had done the inexcusable thing.

Had her daughter liked him too, Yu Ruyan would have never revealed her true feelings even if she was in love with Qing Shui. She would have silently and willingly watched the two of them become an item.

Maternal love!

However, her daughter was already married. Yu Ruyan understood her daughter’s personality. Her daughter would not share a man with any other woman. Therefore, when it was known that Qing Shui already had several women, her favorable impression of him dissipated.

“Lingshuang, don’t overthink it. Him and I are just friends, it is not what you think,” Yu Ruyan said after sighing.

Duanmu Lingshung was exceptionally intelligent. The moment she arrived and saw them, especially seeing Yu Ruyan’s expression, she had understood everything. That expression was a maiden in love, containing bits of happiness and fluster.

“What was I thinking? Mother is the one with a guilty conscience,” Duanmu Lingshuang said while laughing.

“How dare you tease your own mother?” Yu Ruyan lightly stroked Duanmu Lingshuang’s head.

“Mother, you’ve done well taking care of all the troubles these last couple years!” Duanmu Lingshuang embraced Yu Ruyan.

Yu Ruyan was surprised and embraced her daughter. This time her eyes became moist. Her daughter grew up, a real grown up. She already had her own children so she knew that being a parent was not easy.

“Silly child, why are you suddenly saying these things to your mother? When mother sees you she does not feel troubled.”

Duanmu Lingshuang also smiled gently. She thought about her own naughty son and could not agree more. Watching her own child did not feel troublesome at all.

“Qing Shui is someone who could be a match for mother!”

“Young lady, what are you saying?” Yu Ruyan shouted promptly after being startled.

“I know a bit. I just want to say, we will always be mother and daughter. You are my dearest mother. As long as mother loves him, I will respect him. I am also very happy that mother has hope for the future. Let the past be the past, some memories are best left inside your heart. Don’t let the living suffer.”

Duanmu Lingshuang said while smiling and giving Yu Ruyan a kiss, “Your daughter will love you forever!”

Yu Ruyan was going to say something. Even though she had a guilty conscience, in front of her daughter she had to hold up a front. She was the mother, she should be able to maintain her front. But after listening to her daughter’s words, she could not help but sigh. She embraced her daughter without saying anything.

This could be thought of as implied confirmation!

“Mother, let’s go, I will accompany you!” Duanmu Lingshuang dragged Yu Ruyan by the hand and they walked out together.

If the two of them walked side by side, no one would think they were mother and daughter. Moreover, they would not be able to tell who was older. Yu Ruyan was a bit more refined and graceful. Her face had an additional trace of a voiceless resonance and wondrous appearance. This was an element of the Divine Body.
