Chapter 72. Meeting Parents (3)
“Have you been waiting for long?”
Zhuang Shurong took huge strides towards Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye. When her sharp eyes saw the two of them, she seemed to have eased a little from earlier. She took a look at Mu Yuchen, then her gaze stopped on Xi Xiaye who was beside Mu Yuchen.
Xi Xiaye was startled. Mu Yuchen could feel that her hand that he held in his was trembling slightly. He turned to look at her then to Zhuang Shurong and said softly, “We’ve just arrived too. Xiaye, this is Mother.”
Xi Xiaye then bent over slightly to bow. She said softly, “Mother, nice to meet you. I’m Xi Xiaye.”
Zhuang Shurong’s keen eyes sized Xi Xiaye up twice as her expression remained calm. After quite a while, something flashed in her eyes. She then asked, “Xi Xiaye? You’re Shen Wenna’s daughter, aren’t you?”
Xi Xiaye nodded. Previously, Wang Hui had mentioned that her mother seemed to have had met Mu Yuchen’s father before, so she did not find this odd.
“Mmm, you do look quite like her,” Zhuang Shurong commented in a tone that seemed to carry hints of lament. She looked at Xi Xiaye for quite a while again before she continued, “Okay, let’s go home first. You take this.”
Something red flashed before Xi Xiaye’s eyes and a huge red packet appeared before her. She was stunned and almost did not react. It was Mu Yuchen who gently squeezed her cold hand before she snapped back to her senses.
“Thank you, Mother!” Xi Xiaye accepted it.
