She laughed and replied, âIâm already doing very well. Iâve been so well cared for this time that Iâve recuperated very well. Iâm growing older, surely I canât always be like a young girl!â
Mo Yang was already 11 years old. Besides, she had not been that young when she gave birth for the first time. Unlike many girls in that era who gave birth at 17 or 18, she studied overseas for six years before returning home to prepare for her wedding. Then they waited for a long time before Mo Yang was born.
To Gu Qingyao, her life was perfect. She strove when she was young, enjoyed her youth, and then married and had a son after she matured. She had a blissful marriage, and now she had both sons and daughters. Her husband doted on her. She was content!
Mo Beihan wrapped his arms around her from behind and leaned against her shoulder. He looked at the girl in the mirror and said quietly, âNo matter what, in my heart, you will always be that young girl.â
The girl who had grown up with him and liked to follow him around, calling him Brother Beihan.
He had cherished her with all his heart and protected her both in their past and present lives.
Gu Qingyao paused. She turned her head to nuzzle him. She looked at the two figures in the mirror and smiled, âBrother Beihan, we are already very blessed. Now I have three children and you. I am content, really content!â
âIâm glad that youâre content. I did not protect you properly in our previous lives. If I donât manage to make you happy in this life, I might as well die!â
âNonsense!â Gu Qingyao deliberately looked stern and said to him fiercely, âThose incidents were not your fault. We were both victims. Donât dwell on the past. We are so happy now, I must enjoy it properly. I donât want to keep thinking about those sad incidents!â
Mo Beihan nodded. âUm! I will continue to work hard to make you even happier!â
Gu Qingyao: ââ¦â
She glared at him before she dragged him off. âLetâs go and see our daughter.â
At that moment, in the nursery, Mo Yang was crouching next to his little sisterâs cradle, trying to play with the baby.
âLittle Sister! Little Sister, quick, look at me! Iâm your brother, your very capable brother. When you grow up, you must remember to worship me. Iâm the most capable!â
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan, who had just entered: ââ¦â
Mo Yang was still saying, âLet me tell you! In our family, I am the best and the most intelligent. Besides me, you still have four other cousins. Theyâre all old and not adorable at all. So you must like me. When you grow up, you can only be close to me. Do you understand?â
Mo Beihan: ââ¦â
Gu Qingyao: ââ¦â
Four older cousins?
The fellow had simply forgotten the brother who had just been born?
During this period, Mo Yang had seen for himself what a rarity his younger sister was. His four older cousins were all adults. He could not possibly fight them. If not for the fact that they had to work and could not stay home all day, he would not even get to touch his sister.
His grandfather and grandmother were old and could not carry her, but they looked at her all day.
Then there was this younger brother who was the same age as his younger sister. Mo Yang thought that if he did not bond with his little sister now, she might not like him when she grew up.
If that were so, he would be on the losing end!
Mother needed to recover, so he and his father had exhausted themselves taking care of these two babies. He was only 11 years old!
His father hogged his younger sister most of the time. He was left to bitterly take care of that annoying younger brother. If this younger sister still was not close to him after he exhausted himself like that, he would be on the losing end!
So this was the time to ensure his little sister remember that he was the best older brother.
