âIâll check things out.â
The line was cut off the next second. Her manager was probably off to look for his former charge to clarify the situation.
Yun Shishi let out a sigh and quietly wiped the wet mirror before taking another mouthful of the mouth rinse.
Bam!
Youyou came barging into the bathroom tearfully with his phone in hand. âMommy, did you cheat on daddy?!â
âPfftââ
The loud movement startled her into spitting out the mouth rinse again. Looking all disheveled, she turned to see her youngest son walking up to her sadly with his phone in hand. âMommy... d-did you secretly go out last night without daddyâs knowledge?â
â...â
She shot the boy a look, only to see him wailing nonstop as he raised his phone to show her the content displayed on its screen. âDonât tell me that you went to do script-reading with Gu Xingze at a hotel!â
The boy received a Weibo notification on his phone early this morning, notifying him of the trending post regarding his mother for he was a follower of her on Weibo.
Color drained from his face when he saw that post, and he came looking for her straightaway with his phone.
âThatâs not me!â explained his mother helplessly. âLook at the photos carefully, you silly boy; do you really think that the woman in the photos is your mother?!â
He scanned the photos again before replying, âYes, I do.â
That answer earned him a flick on the forehead. âHow could you fail to recognize your mother?! Iâm so disappointed with you, son.â
He immediately looked down and stared at his phone screen again. After a while, he finally exhaled and patted his chest in relief. More tears nearly came flowing down in his emotional state. âWhat a scare! Thatâs a mistake! Itâs not you in the photos! Your legs arenât so short.â
âHow dare you suspect your mother of having an extramarital affair?!â She narrowed her eyes dangerously, which got him hugging her thighs at once as he explained, âI was wrong, mommy! Iâve only just woken up, so my vision hasnât cleared up yet.â
The woman merely gave a haughty snort as she gracefully wiped her face with a towel.
âHmph! Itâs useless trying to explain things now. Guards, drag the boy away for execution.â
Youyou launched into another round of explanation while hugging his mother before suddenly commenting out of curiosity, âThat woman really looks like you, though. Did she undergo reconstructive surgery based on your looks?â
âWho knows? I donât care about that.â
She patted his little hands away. âMove aside; Iâm going to be late.â
She then stepped out of the bathroom with the boy following closely behind her. âYouâre working today?â
âYes, my schedule is packed full for the day.â
âIâll make breakfast for you in that case.â
âNah, Iâm running late.â The woman took out a sandwich from the fridge and warmed it up in the microwave while her son passed her a cup of warm milk.
âBehave yourselves while at home. Youâre not allowed to bully your older brother. Remember to wake your father up for work.â
âOkay!â
He watched her leave.
Moments later, Little Yichen came running out of the bedroom, likewise, with his phone in hand, only to see his twin standing at the front porch. The two bumped into each other when the other turned around.
âWhereâs mommy?â
âOff to work.â
âAh...â Looking worried, the older boy leaned over and asked tentatively, âHave you seen whatâs going on Weibo?â
âWhat?â
âI-Itâs... about...â He pushed his phone to his younger brother, who gave him a withering look upon taking a look at it.
âWhat do we do? Surely, that woman in the photos isnât mommy?â
