Yu Lili looked at the marriage certificate and glanced at Ou Ming in panic. She asked, âWhy did you leave the marriage certificate lying here?â
Ou Ming turned his head imperceptibly and looked at it. He answered, âIt provides a good motivation for me when I work.â
âBut... but your mother seems to have seen it,â Yu Lili said. âWhat are we going to do?â
âIf sheâs seen it, so be it,â Ou Ming replied. He deliberately wanted her to see it. âAfter all, itâs a fact that weâre married. Why should we be afraid of people finding out about it?â
Yu Lili was at a loss of what to reply, but her heart was still feeling a little fortunate. She asked, âSo, did your mother see it or did she not see it?â
If she had seen it, why did she have no reaction at all? But, if she hadnât seen it...
Yeah, right! Such a conspicuous object was placed there. How could she not have seen it?
When Yu Lili recalled that Jiao Ziqingâs expressions and words had softened somewhat, a myriad of complex emotions arose.
âStop thinking so much. Letâs just go with the flow.â Ou Ming laid his chopsticks on top of his bowl and declared, âIâm full now.â
âAlright. Leave them there. Iâll wash the dishes,â Yu Lili said. âYou can get back to work.â
âYour stomach doesnât hurt anymore?â Ou Ming asked.
âItâs a lot better.â She was well enough to at least wash a bowl.
âLet me do it,â Ou Ming said. âYou should rest.â
âRight...â Yu Lili looked at his lone healthy hand and asked, âYouâre going to wash the bowl with one hand? I donât think thatâs going to work.â
âIâm going to start a new trend,â Ou Ming declared.
âGet lost. Stop blocking my way. Off to work you go.â Yu Lili waved him off.
âAlright then,â Ou Ming replied.
Yu Lili brought the chopsticks and bowl into the kitchen and rinsed them under hot water. When she went out, she saw Ou Mingâs healthy hand flying across his keyboard, tapping out a document.
Ou Ming saw her and waved her over. âCome here and have a look at this.â
On the computer screen was the face of a middle-aged woman. The woman looked to be about 50 years old. Her skin was tan, and there were wrinkles on her face. She was smiling into the lens. The woman was dressed in a pretty, deep purple coat, and she wore her black hair short and curly.
âWhatâs wrong? Whoâs this?â Yu Lili asked.
âThis is the woman who gave birth to you years ago. Her name is Xu Meizhen.â As Ou Ming spoke, he retrieved Xu Meizhenâs particulars. âSheâs 54 years old this year She has two children who are probably around 30 years old. Twenty years ago, one of her children died, but sheâs living pretty well at the moment.â
Yu Lili looked at the unfamiliar woman in the photograph and was silent for a moment. âDoes she know about me?â
âYeah. She couldnât really believe that you were still alive,â Ou Ming said.
After all, years ago, her toddler, who had been a full year old, wasnât able to make it out alive. How then, could a newborn baby survive? But she had survived. And, she was now living very well.
âWhen are we going to meet her?â Yu Lili asked.
âWhen you feel better, weâll take a trip home,â Ou Ming said. âRegardless of the situation, weâre still newlyweds. We have to return and prepare a meal for the two elders. Then, weâll come clean to them properly. Itâll be easy to deal with my dad. All we have to do is convince my mom, and weâll be able to hold our wedding ceremony.â
The wedding ceremony?
Yu Lili subconsciously recalled the dream wedding that Li Sicheng and Su Qianci had held in Ireland years back. The envy that she had harbored for many years surfaced again. âBut, what if we canât convince your mom?â
âThat wonât happen. We definitely will.â Ou Ming was extremely confident. âWhen that happens, weâll announce to the world that weâre married.â
Just the mere thought of it alone was enough to make Yu Lili smile in happiness. âWhoâs the world?â
âYou are,â Ou Ming said.
