Chapter 128 - Feeling the mothers presence (1/2)

The very faded scar did not diminish her beauty in an outsider's perspective.

However to her, it was extremely ugly, always reminding her of the dark past.

”Mom?” Lin Lihua called out when she noticed her mother looked rather pale.

What was the scar all about? No matter how many times she had asked in the past, Xia Rou would always evade the question. With time, she had stopped asking.

However, her mother seemed to be bothered by it now that she was going to see Wan Jia. Was it related to Wan Jia's disappearance? Lin Lihua wondered.

”Mom, I'm done, but you'll need to wear a scarf.” Lin Lihua said when she completed the make up.

Xia Rou looked at the woman in the mirror and indeed she was quite different, but people who knew her would still find some familiarities if they saw her like this.

Make up alone was not able to conceal everything, a scarf was necessary.

Three hours later, Lin Lihua and Wan Jia were laughing happily as they baked a raspberry cake in Lin Lihua's apartment.

Wan Jia had never baked a cake on her own before, Lin Lihua was teaching her. Unfortunately, they did not know what they messed up, or maybe they were too engrossed in chatting, the end result was quite tasteless.

”Urgh!” Lin Lihua groaned. It was her first time failing in anything.

Wan Jia also frowned when she took a bite. ”How about we just order a cake?” she had wanted to take some of it back for Lu Aotian and Little Jia, but she would only be calling for endless teasing if she took this back.

”I wanted to cook for my Little Wan, I'm not even in the mood to cook anymore.” Lin Lihua pouted.

”It's okay sis Lihua, I don't feel like cooking either. Let's just order something.”

What Wan Jia did not know was that her mother was on her way. Lin Lihua had already sent a message.

Xia Rou had a key to Lin Lihua's apartment so she just entered.

The two girls looked over at the same time.

”Mom?” Lin Lihua acted surprised.

”Oh, Lihua, you are home! I thought you were filming and wanted to surprise you on your return.”

The woman was carrying what seemed like a bag of food. She went ahead and placed it on the dining table before going to her daughters.

She hugged Lin Lihua and sat beside her. ”You have a new friend.”

Lin Lihua introduced. ”Yes, this is my friend, Little Wan. Little Wan, meet my mom.”
