He Xiyan had been listening to Yuan Yuanâs and the other boyâs conversation and she heard Yuan Yuan call the boy âYe Yeâ.
From their conversation, she deduced that Ye Ye seemed to live together with Yuan Yuan.
âYuan Yuanâ¦â she said as she stretched out to pat his shoulder and pull him into her arms. Was this child upset because his pet goldfish had died?
âYuan Yuan, who are you talking to? Do you have an older or a younger brother?â He Xiyan asked. She could tell that the person on the other end of the line was a small boy.
Yuan Yuan sniffled and he didnât look as cheery as he did before. Instead, he looked a little upset.
âYe Ye is my older brother,â he said in a soft voice. Then, he put his phone back in his backpack.
âOlder brother?â she repeated in surprise and her hands subconsciously clenched. Her eyes were full of astonishment and her shock was reflected on her face.
Did Yuan Yuan have an older brother? Was she also the mother of his older brother? Did she give birth to two sons?
How could it be?
Chen Jiahang who was driving turned pale as though Yuan Yuanâs words had hit a sore spot. He suddenly slowed down and turned to look at Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan nodded and said confidently, âYes, mom. Ye Ye is my older brother.â
âHow old is Ye Ye?â she asked and felt as though her heart was racing so quickly that it was about to burst out of her chest.
She couldnât believe that she was already a mother of two.
âYe Ye is also five years old,â Yuan Yuan answered. âYe Ye is one month older than me, so he is my elder brother.â
âWhat?â she asked in surprise.
She couldnât believe what she had heard. How could Yuan Yuan have an older brother who was one month older than him?
She was surprised to hear that Mr. Mo had another son in addition to Yuan Yuan. If she was Yuan Yuanâs biological mother, then Ye Ye was definitely not her son since no woman would be able to have two children in the span of a month.
âYuan Yuan, who is Ye Yeâs mother and where is she right now?â He Xiyan probed further when she noticed that something was wrong. She was getting more and more confused, especially since Mr. Mo had claimed that she was his fiancee. Since these two children had different mothers, didnât it mean that Mr. Mo had dated two women at the same time?
âYe Yeâs mother is Aunty Xia. However, I think sheâs ill so she lives overseas. Iâve never seen her and neither has Ye Ye,â Yuan Yuan said and truthfully told her what he knew when he saw that his mother seemed interested in finding out more.
He Xiyan bit her lips and her head ached as though someone had hit her and she rubbed at her temples. She felt like her head hurt badly.
âMom, whatâs wrong?â Yuan Yuan asked when he saw that his mom was in pain. He reached out and tugged on her clothes.
Chen Jiahang slammed on the breaks and turned to look at his wife in concern. A layer of cold sweat had formed on his palms.
âYan Yanâ¦â he mouthed silently.
He Xiyan shook her head. Her complexion was pale and devoid of all color but she held Yuan Yuanâs hand and said, âJiahang, Iâm fine. Iâm just a little tired but Iâll be fine after a nap. Please continue driving and stay safe!â she said.
She didnât understand why her temples were starting to throb as though they were being pricked by needles.
