“They’re so mean! They actually bullied Mama and Grandma Guo!” Yan Shiyao puffed up her chubby little cheeks in anger.
“Have the police officers arrest all of them,” Yan Shijun said calmly as he looked at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu smiled. Children’s worlds really were that simple.
“This is a matter between adults. You’re both still little, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“This summer vacation, I just happened to bring you two to Shengjing. The treatment plan I’ve arranged for this patient will take two months. Once we’re back in Rongcheng, you can go back to kindergarten.”
As she said this, Yan Yu giggled.
Just two more months, and she could send these two little troublemakers back to kindergarten for more “training.”
The fraternal twins exchanged a glance when they saw the smile on Yan Yu’s face. They immediately knew what their mother was thinking.
Yan Shijun looked pitifully at his older sister.
“Sis, we just started our vacation, and Mama’s already wishing school would start again. Are we really her biological children?”
Yan Shiyao sighed and spread her tiny hands helplessly.
“Give up, Little Brother. We really were born by Mama. Let’s just treasure these two months of our Shengjing trip.”
After saying that, the twins widened their eyes again and continued admiring the scenery outside.
“What? Your mom brought a strange man home, and they even went into the bedroom together and locked the door? Stay hidden in your room and don’t move! I’m coming home right now!”
The driver, who was behind the wheel, had just answered a phone call and blurted out those shocking words.
Then, while Yan Yu and the twins stared at him in complete bewilderment, he pulled the car over to the roadside.
“I’m so sorry, but I have to rush home and catch my cheating wife! I’ll drop you off here. I won’t charge you. Hurry and get out! Quick!”
The driver was extremely agitated.
Afraid the children would be frightened, Yan Yu quickly got out with them.
The moment she took their suitcase out of the trunk, the car shot away like an arrow released from its bow.
He really was in a hurry.
“Mama, what does ‘catching someone cheating’ mean?” the twins asked in unison.
Yan Yu was speechless.
“Ahem… It means catching a thief. A thief broke into that uncle’s home, so he’s rushing back to catch them. But the phrase he used is for adults only. Children shouldn’t say it casually, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Mama. We won’t say it,” Yan Shiyao replied as she nodded together with her younger brother.
Holding one child in each hand while pulling the suitcase with the other, Yan Yu looked up for another taxi.
Among the endless stream of traffic, a Rolls-Royce Phantom gradually slowed at its owner’s command.
Jing Mocong couldn’t believe his eyes.
He had actually run into that woman on the street.
Five years had passed.
Yet she still appeared in his dreams time and time again.
Every time Jing Mocong woke up, he felt unbearably restless.
It was as though something deep inside him remained suppressed, unable to find release.
But work had always kept him too busy to dwell on that strange feeling.
“Are those two children beside her… hers?”
Jing Mocong’s gaze shifted from Yan Yu to the two tiny children clinging to her.
The little pair huddled together as they hugged Yan Yu’s legs.
From where he sat, he could only clearly see that one of them was a little girl who looked like a miniature version of Yan Yu herself.
She was irresistibly adorable.
For some inexplicable reason, jealousy welled up inside him.
Because of an injury he had suffered years ago, his fertility had been affected.
He could no longer have children.
Meanwhile, Yan Yu was blessed enough to have two at once.
Judging by their height and build, they had to be twins.
But wasn’t her husband a complete jerk?
How could he let a woman stand by the roadside alone with two children trying to hail a ride?
Could it be that her husband was so poor he couldn’t even afford a car?
Almost without thinking, Jing Mocong took out his phone and called one of the bodyguards following behind him.
Not long afterward, the bodyguard’s vehicle overtook Jing Mocong’s car, drove ahead, and stopped beside Yan Yu.
Thinking it was a taxi, Yan Yu’s face lit up with delight as she led the children into the car.
When they arrived at Yiyu Flower Shop, Yan Yu got out and took out her phone to pay the fare.
The bodyguard waved his hand.
“Our Mr. said there was no need to charge you.”
“Huh? Your Mr.? Aren’t you a taxi driver?” Yan Yu asked in surprise.
“Of course not. I’m a bodyguard! Anyway, my Mr. told me to leave.”
With that, the bodyguard stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Yan Yu stood there in a daze for quite a while.
Had she just met an exceptionally kind-hearted stranger?
Smiling faintly, she pulled her suitcase and led the children into Yiyu Flower Shop.
Not far away, inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Jing Mocong watched Yan Yu disappear into the flower shop before withdrawing his gaze.
He instructed the driver to continue.
Relaxing against the seat, Jing Mocong leaned lazily against the backrest and made a phone call.
“Has Dr. Yi An arrived yet?”
“Reporting to you, Sir. Dr. Yi An has arrived in Shengjing. She said she’ll go to Jingyuan Estate tomorrow morning to treat the Old Madam.”
…
“Little Yu, you’re finally here.”
Inside the flower shop, Yan Yu reunited with her longtime friend, Qiao Zi.
Five years earlier, Qiao Zi had met Yan Yu at Shengjing Hospital after suffering from insomnia and chronic headaches.
Yan Yu had cured both her headaches and her sleeping disorder.
Since they were about the same age, they had quickly become close friends.
Even after Yan Yu moved to Rongcheng for work, they had remained in touch.
This time, when Yan Yu returned to Shengjing for work, she had asked Qiao Zi to help her find a place to live.
Qiao Zi had immediately found her an excellent two-bedroom apartment.
“Yaoyao, Junjun, hurry and say hello to your Godmother Qiao.”
Yan Yu turned to the twins.
“Godmother Qiao, Yaoyao missed you so much.”
“Godmother Qiao, Junjun missed you too.”
At that moment, Qiao Zi was overwhelmed with happiness.
She bent down, wrapped both little ones in a hug, and kissed each of their smooth, tender cheeks.
The fraternal twins had extremely serious germaphobia.
The only people they accepted physical affection from were those they truly trusted.
Qiao Zi felt deeply honored to have earned their affection.
She was the same age as Yan Yu.
Yet while Yan Yu already had twins, she herself was still single.
It wasn’t because no men pursued her.
Rather, a man frequently appeared in her dreams.
That made her wonder whether, before losing her memories, she had once loved someone.
Because of that lingering doubt, Qiao Zi had never been able to start a relationship.
“Little Yu, I’ve noticed something. Yaoyao looks just like you. That means Junjun must take after their father. Their father must be incredibly handsome. And… I feel like Junjun looks a lot like a famous person here in Shengjing.”
Qiao Zi stroked her chin thoughtfully.
A famous person?
The face of that man from years ago surfaced in Yan Yu’s mind.
He had been so young back then.
How could he possibly be some famous figure?
“Who’s the famous person you’re talking about?” Yan Yu asked with interest.
