They had spent two years begging to earn a living. He and the child only finally had a place to live in the third year after a good Samaritan helped them.
Huo Yunshen listened to his description and when he thought about the hardships they faced, he felt so sad that he covered his eyes.
âBig brother, donât be sad. It is all in the past.â
Mo Yutian comforted him calmly. The way he spoke about his past experiences was as if he was telling someone elseâs story.
âI sent someone to Starstan to search for you guys but there just wasnât any news of your whereabouts.â
Huo Yunshen let out a sigh.
âThat is because we changed our names.â
âWhat is your name now?â
Mo Yutian answered quietly, âMo, Xiao.â
â!!!â
Oh god!
Did he hear him wrong?
Huo Yunshen felt shocked once again when he heard this name. âYour name is Mo Xiao? Then that means you are Jin Xiaoxiâs...â
He had seen Jin Xiaoxiâs CV before. He remembered Jin Xiaoxiâs husbandâs name was Mo Xiao. Could it be...
Huo Yunshen thought about it in detail and remembered that the part where it introduced her family stated that her husband was severely disabled. It was talking about Mo Yutian.
âThatâs right. I am her husband, but our marriage is a fake marriage. I only had a fake marriage with her so that I could come back to the Dragon Kingdom.â Mo Yutian explained the sequence of events.
Huo Yunshen was unable to remain calm now that he knew clearly who Mo Yutian was. âIf you are Mo Xiao, does that mean Little Apple is that... that child?â
He remembered he had seen that child called Little Tieniu a few times before...
Huo Yunshen thought about that dark and skinny child. Could it be that he was his long lost eldest son, Little Apple?
âYes, he is Little Apple.â
â...â
It was only at this moment that he experienced what sorrow really meant. When he thought about how he didnât recognize his own child even when he was beside him, he felt as if he had neglected his duties!
What kind of father was he?
He couldnât even recognize his own flesh and blood!
âI... I didnât even recognize him...â Huo Yunshen felt upset and smashed the table, his heart filled with pain.
âItâs not your fault. His skin turned dark, as he was often by the beach.â
Mo Yutian continued, âLittle Apple and I begged for a living. If it wasnât for Jin Xiaoxi, we might not be alive right now. She is our biggest benefactor.â
When Huo Yunshen heard Mo Yutian say such things, he felt ashamed and was unable to show his face. That ugly woman had helped to raise his son without complaints but how did he treat her in return?
âI already know the situation between you and Jin Xiaoxi. She is a kindhearted girl and she is pregnant with your child right now. Big brother, I wonât ask for much, only for you to treat her kindly. For the sake of Little Apple, take her into the palace as well and take care of her well!â
Huo Yunshen was in a dilemma. He didnât want to remarry and he didnât want to do anything that would betray Jing Xi.
What position would be appropriate for Jin Xiaoxi if he let her stay in the palace?
Mo Yutian was paving the way for Jin Xiaoxiâs future. He could see Huo Yunshen was in a difficult position but he still requested, âI was also very sad when I learned Jing Xi passed away. However, the living must still continue to live. You have already seen both of the two children depend on Xiaoxi. If you could let her stay in the palace, it would also prevent Little Apple from feeling the pain of separating.â
âAre you not planning to stay?â
Huo Yunshen sincerely invited him to stay in the Dragon Kingdom. After all, the Mo Yutian of the past had already died when he fell off a cliff. The international courts also wouldnât investigate him again.
