Chapter 1013: Until We’re Both Hoary-Haired (9)

Wiping away her tears, He Jiyua’s mother fumbled out a red packet and put it in Cuddlie’s hands .

Cuddlie smiled sweetly . “Thank you, Grandma . ”

“Good, good…” He Jiayu’s mother was still having a hard time controlling her emotions, and she looked at He Jiayu in gratitude . “Thank you . Thank you…”

He Jiayu lowered his gaze . “We’re off, then . ”

His mother said anxiously, “But you haven’t eaten yet!”

“That won’t be necessary . ” He Jiayu smiled a little . “It’s so awkward to have me here . Tell Old Li to come back . You two enjoy the festival . ”

His mother smiled in embarrassment . “Alright . ”

Su Xiaomo carried Cuddlie out first . He Jiayu followed them .

Walking past his mother, he whispered, “I’m sorry . ”

“What?” His mother stared at him in astonishment . The past then came back to her and she lowered her head, overwhelmed by a sense of guilt . “I’m the one that should be sorry… I’ve been a disgrace to you all these years…”

He Jiayu’s lips moved, but he didn’t say another word .

Walking out, he saw Su Xiaomo playing with Cuddlie in the car . He then bent down and kissed her gently on her forehead .

“Hey! The baby is watching!” Su Xiaomo said shyly . “We should come more often, and make it more home-like!”

He Jiayu smiled . “Alright . ”

As he drove steadily back home, a mishmash of memories came back to him .

His mother had indeed worked in shady places, selling herself willingly, but from what He Jiayu could remember, she had never mistreated him .

Everything he ate and used was of the highest quality among kids of his age .

She had enrolled him in the best schools, hired the best tutors for him, and spent a lot of money for him to attend extra-curricular classes…

If his mother had other choices, if he was tougher back then, if…

But there were just “ifs . ”

“Cutie He! Let’s go out and watch the moon tonight!” Su Xiaomo proposed cheerfully .

“It’s not Mid-Autumn Day…” He Jiayu smiled in resignation . “Plus, the moon is the fullest on the 16th day of a lunar month . So, tomorrow night is better for that . ”

“Hey! What’s wrong with the moon tonight?! It’s the fullest because I said so! Are you trying to start a fight?!”

Her eyes darting around, little Cuddlie said in her head, “Daddy! Stand up for yourself! Speak louder and be a man! Overthrow your despotic wife!”

However, He Jiayu only smiled . The sunlight shone on his face through the window, making his smile as warm as the sun itself .

“I agree with you . You’re so beautiful . Of course everything you say is true . ”

Su Xiaomo hummed a tune in satisfaction . “That’s right, because I’m a fairy!”

Cuddlie was speechless . Daddy, keep doing this and you’ll be on your knees for the rest of your life!

The Sheng family .

Sheng Yize was cooking glutinous rice balls in the kitchen and An Xiaxia was watching the Lantern Festival Gala with the kids . She kept glancing at the kitchen .

“Mummy, why is Uncle Fengfeng on TV?” Pepsi asked curiously, nibbling her fingers .

“Because Uncle Fengfeng is a huge star! He’s really, really famous!” An Xiaxia explained to her . Pepsi then said enviously, “Why isn’t Papa a huge star?”

Well… he was once! But An Xiaxia didn’t know how to explain it to Pepsi .

Cola snorted, the look on his little face reminding one of Sheng Yize . “Dumb Pepsi . If Papa is a star, other people will take him away from Mummy!”

“Take him away? Why?”

“To… to make babies, of course! He’ll have other babies and he won’t love us anymore!”
