Free Web NovelChapter 185: Chapter 185: Are You from Another World?
"Okay." Xiao Yu’an let his patience run out.
Mu Ran took out the notebook, Chu Xijin silently stood by her aunt’s side. As she clicked open the pictures, he slowly spoke: "I hired someone to shoot a video exploring the store, deliberately capturing ambiguous photos of uncle and that sister. Arranging for uncle to go with that sister to choose rings was also my doing. And Yun Fei’s ambiguous relationship with my aunt was arranged by me too. Both of them were chosen carefully by me based on my understanding of you two, as suitable partners."
Mu Ran: "!!!"
Xiao Yu’an: "!!!"
Both were stunned.
Does Xiao Jin know what he’s talking about?
Chu Xijin had already started to give up, "You can’t be in love; I had no choice but to break you apart."
Mu Ran: "What?"
Xiao Yu’an also turned cold, realizing that the torment he’d endured for so long was Xiao Jin’s doing.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Logically, he and Mu Ran should have been the closest people to Chu Xijin, yet now it seemed he didn’t wish for them to be in love, rather he hoped they would never have anything to do with each other.
"You are blood-related, siblings. How can you be in love?" Chu Xijin closed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
Mu Ran and Xiao Yu’an exchanged glances.
Mu Ran was even more confused about his logic: "I am just a good friend of your mother, like I am with Yang Yingying, except I am crazier with Yang Yingying. With your mother, it’s more like family, but we have no blood relationship."
Chu Xijin’s eyes widened.
"Impossible, mother has said many times you are her real sister." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"That’s just a figure of speech." Mu Ran’s gestures were a bit disordered, "You wouldn’t think I’m from Daqi, would you?" freёwebnovel.com
Xiao Yu’an was shocked.
How did she know about Daqi!
Chu Xijin kept nodding, "Yes, aunt, aren’t you and uncle both souls from ancient times in modern bodies? It’s just you’ve been in the modern world for a long time, and uncle just arrived. But you are siblings!"
Mu Ran was astonished, "Xiao Yu’an, you are from ancient times."
Xiao Yu’an: "..."
"Yes."
"How come you are an ancient person?" Mu Ran was stunned and instinctively moved away, but before Xiao Yu’an could feel hurt for a second, Mu Ran rubbed his face, "Did you look like this in the ancient times too?"
"Yes."
"Then what was your identity, wait, let me think, you are Xiao Jin’s uncle, Xiao Jin only has one uncle... you are the Great General, oh my gosh, I’ve been involved with a general." Mu Ran covered her mouth, how did she become so awesome.
Xiao Yu’an guessed many reactions she’d have upon knowing his identity, but never this one, "I’m glad you don’t mind."
"I won’t, why would I mind." Mu Ran waved her hand, her smile unconsciously broadening.
No need to say.
A general.
What an impressive figure.
Moreover, someone who traveled through time, their love spanned thousands of miles, didn’t it?
The sister was too considerate.
Sending over a young prince was fine.
Including a general brother too.
Hahahahah...
Mu Ran leaned closer to examine him, initially wanting to see any differences that indicated he wasn’t a modern person.
She didn’t find any sign he was from ancient times.
Xiao Yu’an’s eyes flickered, and he kissed the lips he’d missed for a long time.
Xiao Jin: "!!!"
Aaaaa.
How could they kiss after knowing their identities?
Wuwuwuwu...
He was about to collapse.
"You’re not allowed to be together!"
Xiao Yu’an wrapped his arm around Mu Ran’s waist, shooting a cold glance, "Not only are we together now, but we’ll be together for a lifetime. You seem smart usually, but couldn’t you consider that your aunt has never been a day in ancient times?"
"Impossible?"
Chu Xijin was unwilling to believe, and dared not believe.
"Why is it impossible?"
Xiao Yu’an retorted.
"If aunt wasn’t my real aunt, why is she so good to me?" Chu Xijin knew his value was considerable, but aunt didn’t need such value.
Mu Ran helplessly broke free from Xiao Yu’an’s embrace, squatted down, and held his little face, "Because your mother and I have known each other for a long time. Even if we are just friends, our bond isn’t weaker than real sisters. Xiao Jin, I treat you well not just for your mother but for you, because you always take care of me, warm my life."
Chu Xijin’s eyes glinted with tears, which he fiercely held back, but they flowed out anyway, "But you are too good to me."
"You deserve it."
Mu Ran hugged the child tightly, patting gently, "I and your uncle aren’t blood-related, you should be happy. From now on, the three of us can be together."
Chu Xijin’s body stiffened, and he lowered his eyes, "But I’ve done a lot of wrong things, causing many conflicts between you."
"It’s pretty outrageous, little guy, you have quite the scheming mind for your age." Mu Ran chuckled softly, "I cried several times because of your uncle’s supposed cheating."
Xiao Yu’an immediately said, "I didn’t."
Mu Ran glanced at him, "I know!"
Xiao Yu’an instantly turned timid.
She knows, good enough.
Mu Ran continued to speak to Xiao Jin: "You thought we were siblings, so it wasn’t wrong to separate us, but I still hope next time when things happen, you’ll talk to us. Xiao Jin, trust us, we’re not fragile. And remember, we love you."
Chu Xijin’s tears fell one after another, his voice choked, "Aunt, I’m sorry..."
"It’s okay, but just this once, understand?" Mu Ran gazed into his eyes.
Chu Xijin’s shoulders shook with sobs, hugging her tightly, "I thought after you knew how scheming I was, you’d abandon me."
"What are you thinking?"
Mu Ran ruffled his hair, "Who would bear to part with such a smart, adorable Xiao Jin? Having a mind for scheming isn’t wrong, just use it on others in the future, understood?"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"
Chu Xijin rested his chin on his aunt’s shoulder, crying like a typical six-year-old.
Xiao Yu’an’s fingers curled slightly.
This child.
His mind is too sensitive.
It’s rare for emotions to burst out like this, which is good, considering the burden he carries and his tendency to consider others over himself.
Like separating them.
If Xiao Jin truly wanted a quick solution, he wouldn’t have sought out new partners for them. Although Xiao Yu’an found it upsetting to think about, he couldn’t deny it.
Xiao Jin managed everything most appropriately.
He hoped both people could be happy.
It’s just...
Both Xiao Yu’an and Mu Ran went through months of distress, but during those months, Xiao Jin did his best to appease them, even at the cost of his own grievances.
It was evident, Xiao Jin genuinely wanted him and Mu Ran not to dislike him, not to abandon him.
Xiao Yu’an sighed faintly.
He initially thought to give that brat a rough lesson, but seeing him so miserable now, he couldn’t bear to do it; it was vexing.
