Am I seeing things? Miss Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief. Why does that child resemble our President Yuchi Shen? No, no, no, that’s not it. If I am to observe closer, there are still many differences between the two of them. Their facial features might look alike, but the child’s gaze and aura are completely different. Is he our President’s younger twin brother?
However, that thought vanished from Miss Lin’s mind as soon as it appeared. Judging by our President’s age, it’s impossible that he’ll have such a young twin brother. In that case, that must be his son. Everyone assumed that he was single when he first arrived. Who would have guessed that he already has a son? Miss Lin immediately thought of Han Muzi. Isn’t that girl head over heels in love with our President? Besides, she is now in a relationship with him. Is she aware about this?
“Miss Lin, I will be on leave for the next few days. I’m counting on you to handle the company.”
Miss Lin snapped back to reality when she heard Ye Moxuan, so she nodded blankly. However, she couldn’t take her eyes off Little Bean’s face and she blurted out, “President, this child is…”
Before Ye Moxuan could answer her, Little Bean answered Miss Lin in English, “How are you, Miss Pretty? I am Daddy’s son!”
Miss Lin froze in her spot while staring blankly at the exquisite-looking child who was conversing in fluent English with her. What is going on now? How old is this child? Besides, he is Chinese, so why is his English so fluent?
As if Little Bean sensed her confusion, he explained to her softly, “Previously, my mommy lived in C Country, which is why I’ve been speaking English since I was born!”
Ah, I see.
Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su were confused when they first heard him speak English as well. However, his explanation cleared their doubts. C Country? Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes. Where is that? I don’t recall the place at all.
Miss Lin looked at the adorable child in front of her. After that, she gave Ye Moxuan a quizzical look as she thought of Han Muzi again. Should I be a busybody and ask the President? After all, this is not fair to Muzi at all. However, the child is here and he might overhear me if I were to ask the President.
Just when Miss Lin was in a dilemma, Little Bean spoke again, “Miss Pretty, we are going home now. See you around!”
Miss Lin responded swiftly with a smile, “Sure!”
Ye Moxuan nodded at Miss Lin before taking Little Bean away through a special passageway.
Staring at their backs, Miss Lin couldn’t help but do a double take at the child. He is such a good looking and polite child. I wonder what kind of person the child’s mother is. Sigh, I suddenly feel sorry for Han Muzi. However, everyone has their own fate and no one can force such things. After that, Miss Lin turned around to continue with her work.
Ye Moxuan took Little Bean out for a meal. While waiting for the meal, Little Bean suddenly said that he needed to use the washroom. Hence, Xiao Su stood up immediately. “Little Young Master, I will go with you. I was just about to use the bathroom.”
Little Bean nodded without a second thought and Xiao Su took Little Bean’s hand and left with him.
As Ye Moxuan observed Little Bean and Xiao Su heading off, he suddenly focused on Xiao Su’s back view. Previously, when we met, he mentioned that he is my assistant. In that case, it means that he knows me very well and that he is used to following me closely. I suppose he should be trustworthy. Xiao Su… Xiao Su…
He repeated Xiao Su’s name in his mind as he tried to recall Xiao Su’s face. It wasn’t long before there were some fragmented images of Xiao Su replaying in Ye Moxuan’s mind. However, those fragments vanished as swiftly as it arrived, as if it was blown away by the wind. Everything had happened so quickly that Ye Moxuan couldn’t grab onto anything at all. Thus, Ye Moxuan tried hard to recall those fragmented images.
By the time Xiao Su and Little Bean had returned from the washroom, Xiao Su realized that Ye Moxuan looked horrible as Ye Moxuan’s face was pale and his lips had a tinge of green. W-What happened? We were merely gone for a short time to use the washroom. Did something happen in our absence?
However, Xiao Su was unable to directly ask Ye Moxuan since Little Bean was around, so he asked Ye Moxuan tentatively, “Young Master Ye?”
Ye Moxuan looked up at Xiao Su with a shock when he heard Xiao Su’s voice. Their eyes met and Xiao Su saw that Ye Moxuan was worse off than before; in fact, he looked worse than Xiao Su had expected. Xiao Su immediately became distressed and he glanced at Ye Moxuan worryingly.
“Were there many people in the bathroom?” Ye Moxuan asked.
Xiao Su shook his head. “Not many.”
“Okay.” Ye Moxuan stood up to leave the table.
Little Bean hadn’t noticed Ye Moxuan’s pale face and as a result, he wasn’t aware of how Ye Moxuan looked. However, he was able to clearly tell that Xiao Su became anxious soon after Ye Moxuan left, so he immediately asked, “Mr. Xiao, why are you so worried when my daddy is only going to use the bathroom?”
Xiao Su hesitated before answering him, “Really? I don’t think so.” Then, he turned to Little Bean and forced a smile which looked more like a grimace.
Little Bean commented, “Mr. Xiao, stop smiling. You look extremely ugly.”
There was a scar across Xiao Su’s face, making him look ferocious. His expression and appearance were even fiercer after he forced a smile at Little Bean. Little Bean would have mocked Xiao Su if he weren’t afraid of hurting Xiao Su’s feelings.
Xiao Su’s smile vanished immediately when he heard that. He hadn’t meant to do so yet he couldn’t help but caress the scar across his face and chuckled bitterly. “I’m sorry, did my smile scare you?”
Little Bean cocked his head to a side when he heard that and shook his head in denial. “Mr. Xiao, it’s not about your scar. It’s just that you were so reluctant to smile.” He grinned before adding, “Besides, your scar isn’t ugly, Mr. Xiao. It won’t scare anyone at all!”
Xiao Su was astounded when he heard that. “Is it not ugly? How is that even possible?” He chuckled bitterly again. The scar might have been on his face, but in reality, it scarred him deeply in his heart.
“It’s really not ugly, Mr. Xiao. Haven’t you heard of this phrase?” Little Bean must have sensed Xiao Su’s sadness and tried to console Xiao Su.
Xiao Su paused upon hearing that and he lowered his eyes at Little Bean. “What is the phrase you are referring to?”
“Bodily wounds are the marks of a man.”
Xiao Su was stunned to silence because he did not expect Little Bean to say such a thing.
“Although your wound is across your face, Mr. Xiao, it’s still symbolic. You are very handsome, Mr. Xiao, so don’t feel inferior over a scar!”
Xiao Su remained silent for the longest time after hearing that. Previously, he thought that Little Bean was quite intimidating because he was always against Ye Moxuan. However, after listening to what Little Bean said earlier, it changed his perception of Little Bean. Regardless of whether he’s sincere or he is just trying to console me, his words have truly touched the bottom of my heart.
