Chapter 542: Nothing To Be Ashamed Of
Tao Wei was speechless.
In fact, it was true. Huo Xishen was the esteemed helmsman of the Huo Family and he was nice enough to have eaten the mediocre food that they offered to him once.
Tao Wei rubbed his hands and smiled more fawningly. “Uh, is there anything that Mr. Huo is displeased with? Jinyi, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you’re Second Young Mistress Huo?”
Yan Jinyi remarked, “He thinks you’re fine except that you talk too much nonsense.”
She smoothened out the creases of her crumpled coat and said, “Get ready for the shoot so that we can wrap up earlier.”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure we can return to the city in advance.”
Tao Wei automatically thought that Yan Jinyi couldn’t bear to part with Huo Xishen.
In Tan Sangsang’s home back in the city.
Shen Yan was awakened by her immense thirst. She rubbed her aching, throbbing temples and slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself in an unfamiliar room.
She was dumbstruck and suddenly sat up as she realized that she was obviously in a child’s room as there was a variety of toys in the room, with Transformers posters plastered all over the wall.
However...she wondered just how she ended up here.
At this moment, the door of the room was opened and Tan Sangsang entered with a cup of hot milk, “Miss... Miss Shen, you’re awake. Have some milk to warm your stomach up.”
Looking at the pretty stranger in front of her, Shen Yan was a little stunned. “Excuse me, who are...”
“Oh, I’m Yan Jinyi’s best friend, Tan Sangsang. Jinyi told me that you were drunk and asked me to pick you up from the bar. I didn’t know where you lived and I didn’t think it would be safe to leave you in a hotel room alone so I brought you back to my place. Miss Shen, you don’t mind it, do you?”
‘Oh, she’s Jinyi’s friend.’
Shen Yan smiled at Tan Sangsang and said, “Thank you, Miss Tan, it must have been hard on you last night.”
Tan Sangsang waved her hand and said, “It’s alright, Miss Yan, you didn’t behave hysterically when you’re in a drunken stupor. You dozed off right after you were drunk.”
She was really well-mannered and it was no wonder that she was the dignified and elegant Young Mistress of the Huo Family.
‘But Jinyi seems to have mentioned that she has divorced Mr. Huo Chengyu.’
‘How can he bear to divorce such a beautiful and elegant woman? The Huos are indeed a family of jerks.’
After downing the glass of wine, her thirst was quenched and the dryness of her throat was soothed. Shen Yan coughed twice before asking, “Thank you, Miss Tan, is this your son’s room?”
“Yes.” Tan Sangsang had a proud expression on her face at the mention of Mu Mu.
“The room is well-decorated and it looks very heartwarming. You should be living very blissfully with you husband and son, right?”
At this point, there was a trace of envy in Shen Yan’s voice. When she first got married, she had also fantasized about having a child with Huo Chengyu but unfortunately, it remained as a fantasy after all.
‘Perhaps I will never be able to have a child of my own in this lifetime.’
Tan Sangsang began to get rather awkward. “Uh, I-I’m a single mother.”
‘Single mother?’
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you, I just...”
“It’s alright, we’re living in a modern society now, being a single mother is nothing to be ashamed of. I won’t feel inferior because of it. Besides, Mu Mu is so cute and sensible, I’m so thankful that God gave me this treasure.”
“After hearing what you said, I’d like to meet your son.” Shen Yan smiled.
“My mom took him to the kindergarten. Miss Shen, are you feeling any discomfort?” Tan Sangsang immediately changed the topic.
She knew that Shen Yan, the former Young Mistress Huo, was obviously a smart person. If she were to discover something once she sees Mu Mu, it would be terrible.
Well, Mu Mu’s eyes were very similar to his father’s!
“I’m fine, I’ll contact Jinyi personally, but I still have to thank you for taking me in, Miss Tan.”
Tan Sangsang said nonchalantly, “You’d better call me Sangsang. I’m just a normal citizen, and it’s awkward to call me Miss Tan.”
