Chapter 14

Lin Jingxuan came back home at an unusual time, it so happened that he didn't have work. When he arrived he noticed that everyone was behaving weirdly for some reason, a few things were broken while the others were scattered about in the living room,it looked so messy and disorganized. When he asked for his mother,he was informed that she was resting, despite her old age it was still early morning, who would rest at such a time. His sister seemed to avoid him and she was also in her room,he had also seen Lin Meilin's car leaving for the second time today. At dinner when he asked about what happened,they all seemed to be lying. He had been a leader for too long and easily noticed it. Their expressions showed that it all.

They also ate slowly and their thoughts weren't there. It might have to do with the ladies he saw,he'd investigate.

The next morning Yue Ling and Yi Shuyan had breakfast peacefully. Yue Ling was going back to her home today.

Yi Shuyan asked the bodyguards about Yue Ling's whereabouts yesterday and they told her something odd. Yue Ling had driven out of home and stopped at a coffee shop then entered a certain car and they didn't find her again. The located her a few hours later at a restaurant having breakfast with Kai Lin Ya. Yi Shuyan didn't think much of it and assumed she went somewhere with Kai Lin Ya. The two were friends and worked together.

Lin Yaoha was at gathering with her friends but her stomach was uncomfortable. She was feeling stuffy and bloated in her abdominal area since yesterday. She was with many people seated near her and her stomach was rumbling,it was embarrassing and to top it all off she had to continuously visit the toilet just to make sure nothing came out.

"Age is taking a toll on Yaoha,"one if her friends commented.

"It's not only age,I think you've gotten even fatter,"another added on.

Lin Yaoha was putting on a fake smile to simply brush it off. Her day was definitely ruined. She had never been so embarrassed. Her friends were the middle aged women who maintained slender figures. It so happened that they accepted her to join but she was the centre of discussion whenever they got bored. These friends if hers were married into wealthy family and their daughters and sons were famous. Her life was ruined by herself and she lost the privileges she had before after she got pregnant. The rich husband she always bragged about when Lin Qinqing 's father was talked about had never shown up to marry her, it showed clearly as her daughter used her family name. I should get out of my head,she thought. All this was for a better life.

Yue Ling had pierced Lin Yaoha with a tiny needle leading to her misfortunes today.

Yi Shuyan couldn't get used to Yue Ling leaving. Her daughter had just come back not to long ago but had already moved out.

"Take these,ohh! and these veggies, remember to keep everything in the fridge, warm the milk or else it will spoil,"Yi Shuyan kept nagging.

"I get it, thanks mother,I'm already used to living alone, remember,"Yue Ling calmed her down.

"You don't have to,I'm here,"Yi Shuyan said. It wasn't pleasant to hear.

"Mother don't take it the wrong way,I can always count on you,"she said.

"You have grown up and changed,"Yi Shuyan praised.

"Good if it's for the better,"Yue Ling said.

Yi Shuyan:"You love me alot more."

Yue Ling furrowed her eyebrows after that sentence, Yi Shuyan was being sly.

Yi Shuyan: Come to think of it I haven't entered your house,let's go together so I can take a look.

That's how the two of them ended up in Yue Ling's car on the way to her house with a suitcase containing Yi Shuyan 's clothes,for this visit and the others for the future.

Yi Shuyan signed at the entrance desk because she this was her first visit.

The lady in charge greeted Yi Shuyan enthusiastically. This was the first visitor of one of her idols who she later found out was the mother.

Yi Shuyan was happier when she found out that her finger prints could also open her daughter's apartment. When they arrived she looked around the house as Yue Ling put her things in her room.

Her daughter's home was too neat and it made her feel more at ease. She made dinner while Yue Ling was in the study.

Lin Jingxuan was deep in thought. He had aged alot in a few hours after receiving information about Yue Ling's arrival.

He also found out about her distant behavior. It was anticipated given that they got separated,he couldn't believe that he ruined his family. His little princess was far away from him. He had tried to find them but couldn't get much although he knew where Yi Shuyan lived and worked,there was even a time when he completely lost track of Yue Ling and ever since then that was it. Somewhere within him,he hoped to meet her.

Yi Shuyan and Yue Ling ate dinner peacefully and somehow,her house wasn't as lonely. Yue Ling washed the dishes when they were done and her mother was packing her clothes in the wardrobe. Her room had the only lighter colors in the house apart from the living room. Yue Ling had one weakness and that would be colors. Nobody knew that she didn't recognize colors except the very darker ones. The old memories were painful. The phrase money couldn't buy everything sadly applied here.

She got dessert and proceeded to Yue Ling's room. Yue Ling frowned because she didn't want the place to get dirty but she still indulged her mother. Yi Shuyan 's mission was to make Yue Ling a little bigger. They chatted for a while before going to bed.
