Chapter 336: Chapter 336

"So, losing Qi Longbing is no loss to you at all? Can you truly be so magnanimous?" Wen Yajun looked at Hua Xiaomo, his heart aching.

To think, he believed President Qi was the best man in the world, the one who could surely bring happiness to his sister. But for such a good man to miss out so deeply—whose fault was it? Maybe no one was at fault. The mistake was, why did they have to meet in the first place? And having met, why did they then have to spend time together, getting to know and love each other? Two people in love not being able to be together—maybe that’s the most painful thing!

This inevitably made Wen Yajun think of himself. Perhaps he and another person were feeling the same way! But he did not regret leaving Ye Xiangxue, because he carried a responsibility—not towards Ye Xiangxue, but towards Dong Xiaoyou.

"Brother, stop it. I don’t even know how to respond to you. Honestly, it hurts me too," Hua Xiaomo had to say, unable to utter anything else. She looked at Wen Yajun for a good while before continuing, "Where is Dong Xiaoyou? I haven’t seen her for a while now. Where does she live?"

"I bought a private apartment, and she’s temporarily staying there," Wen Yajun said, looking at Hua Xiaomo with a hidden discontent he didn’t wish to express.

He always felt his sister shared some similarities with her best friend, Dong Xiaoyou, but was that really just an illusion? Why did he feel they were similar? If one were to talk about similarities, aside from being kind-hearted, there weren’t many other areas where they were alike. Hua Xiaomo was carefree and not very meticulous, while Dong Xiaoyou was the type of girl as gentle as water, with an incredibly meticulous and delicate mind.

"Oh, I see. Can you give me the address? I’ll go see her tomorrow!" Hua Xiaomo said.

"Sure," Wen Yajun promptly gave Hua Xiaomo the address.

Hua Xiaomo quickly went to the address Wen Yajun had given her and found her dear friend, Dong Xiaoyou.

Upon seeing Hua Xiaomo, Dong Xiaoyou was quite surprised and greeted her enthusiastically. "Xiao Mo, when did you come back? It’s been five years since I last saw you, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful!"

"HAHA, you greet me with such sweet words! Your mouth has gotten even sweeter. Has my brother been feeding you honey?" Hua Xiaomo joked, walking over to link arms with Dong Xiaoyou, examining her carefully.

At the same time, Dong Xiaoyou also examined Hua Xiaomo carefully. In that instant, both women were surprised by the changes they saw in each other.

Dong Xiaoyou looked at Hua Xiaomo and suddenly burst into tears. "How could you be so cruel? Five years! You didn’t call me once in five years! I missed you terribly, you know that? Xiao Mo, how could you do this to me!"

Hua Xiaomo enveloped her in a hug, patting her back. "Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. There were circumstances that prevented me from calling you back, you know. Please forgive me, okay? My dearest friend?"

At that moment, a little girl ran over, taking Hua Xiaomo’s hand. "Auntie, Auntie."

Hua Xiaomo looked at the little girl, who was already quite tall, probably around seven or eight years old. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

"This is... this is your daughter, isn’t she? She’s gotten so big!" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at the little girl. Then she took a small gift out of her bag and gave it to her.

The little girl opened it. "Wow, it’s so beautiful! Such a delicate hairpin, I really love it!"

Hua Xiaomo smiled at the little girl. "Since you like it so much, let Auntie clip it in your hair for you, alright?"

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Auntie, you’re so nice," the little girl said happily, then let Hua Xiaomo clip the hairpin on her head.

Dong Xiaoyou watched Hua Xiaomo, feeling very comforted, and spoke after a while.

"Yes, this is my daughter. Her name is Xiao Mei, and she’s seven now," Dong Xiaoyou said, smiling as she looked at Hua Xiaomo.

"Your daughter is already so big! If she were to play with my baby, they would surely become the best of friends!" Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help saying. Looking at the innocent and cute Xiao Mei reminded her of her own daughter, Candy.

Dong Xiaoyou was stunned by her words. It took her a long moment to process it before she finally turned to look at Hua Xiaomo.

"Hua Xiaomo, what are you saying? Your baby? Don’t scare me, when did you have a baby?" Dong Xiaoyou looked at Hua Xiaomo, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Hua Xiaomo looked at Dong Xiaoyou, a little embarrassed. "Xiao You, I... I have a daughter. She’s two years younger than yours; she just turned five this year."

"Ah? What? You have a daughter? Heavens, that’s truly unbelievable! You’re not even married yet!" Dong Xiaoyou exclaimed, her face filled with astonishment.

"Hey, you say I’m unmarried, but aren’t you in the same boat?" Hua Xiaomo retorted with a faint smile.

Dong Xiaoyou pondered for a moment, then looked at Hua Xiaomo and asked secretively, "This child... she couldn’t be President Qi’s, could she?"

Hua Xiaomo looked at Dong Xiaoyou, not knowing how to answer her. She remained silent for a long time.

Dong Xiaoyou thought for a moment, then looked at Hua Xiaomo. "It’s been five years, and your child also happens to be five years old. Does that mean... you were already pregnant during that time before you went to America?"

"Oh, please stop guessing, Xiao You! I really don’t want to talk about this right now. It’s too upsetting!" Hua Xiaomo said. Looking at Dong Xiaoyou’s daughter, she couldn’t help but walk over and gently stroke her hair. She’s such a beautiful, beautiful little girl! If my Candy were still here, she and Xiao Mei would definitely become good friends. Just as her mother and I are best friends, our daughters would also become the closest of friends.

Dong Xiaoyou looked at her, frowning slightly.

"You’re truly full of surprises. You actually have a daughter, and she’s already five years old. That child must be President Qi’s." Dong Xiaoyou looked at Hua Xiaomo, her expression somber. I can tell she has so much she wants to say to me, Dong Xiaoyou thought, but she just can’t bring herself to voice it. It’s the same feeling I had when I had Xiao Mei.

"Xiao You, now we’re both unmarried mothers. We truly are kindred spirits, bound by fate!" Hua Xiaomo looked at Dong Xiaoyou and smiled bitterly. We really are quite the pair of sisters, aren’t we? Both ending up doing the same unconventional thing.
