Shi Luo was right about Jun Zixuan's identity as the CEO of Eminence, she was right that one day they will be in love and she was right about many things that she had strongly disagreed with at that time.
But this time, she could bet with her on this that there will be nothing between Mu Shen and Li Shuang.
"Luoluo is such a blabbermouth. I was just curious about Li Shuang. Did she have to gossip about it with you?" Mu Shen clicked his tongue.
"She is my best friend. We share everything, from dresses to secrets," Yu Mei shrugged.
Mu Shen froze as he glanced at her side profile. Someone has said the same words to him once before. Is it some friend's code or what?
"Your face reminds me of someone I used to know," He said.
She stiffened, "Eh? Who? It is said that seven people in the world look exactly like you. Are you talking about that doppelganger fact?"
Mu Shen laughed, "She was very arrogant and defiant. A truly scary woman to me."
Yu Mei glared at him. Who the hell are you describing like that?
The man felt a shiver running down his spine. He rubbed his arms, "It's cold here. Let's go inside."
Back inside her bedroom.
"I can't believe you both are going there," Shen Lihua made her sit on the bed as she paced around the room.
"Chill, mother-in-law," Yu Mei waved her hand.
Jun Zixuan seemed to be very efficient at his job as Shen Lihua did not look like she had any intentions for stopping them from going to Amaranthine.
"You don't know them. They..." Shen Lihua sat beside her, "Ah Xuan said that you both will be fine but-"
"No buts. Since your son has said that, you should believe it."
"I saw the news and rumors about Ah Xuan being your ke..kept. I don't know how they have reacted to that. They are powerful.?If they don't like you, they will try to separate you both by any means," As they had played with my marriage in the past. Shen Lihua promptly skipped the second part as she lowered her head.
Yu Mei patted her shoulder, "Would you believe me if I said that your son is more powerful?"
Confidential matters like the royal family's declining influence were not known to many. But being the sister of the President of the country had its perks.
She liked gossiping about the country affairs with her brother during their breakfast which is why she was pretty informative about all these.
Shen Lihua glanced at her blankly.
Yu Mei laughed. This she-devil too had her weak moments, "You just need to recover properly. Everything else will turn out to be fine," Or she hoped so.
"I'll arrange your outfit. It is still the best if they like and accept you," Or else those people will scheme against her to no end.
"No need, I have already arranged the best outfit out there. They will surely love me in it," Yu Mei smiled like a kind daughter-in-law.
"Is it traditional?" Shen Lihua asked doubtfully.
"So traditional that even a qipao will shy away at the sight of it."
Shen Lihua nodded, "You both are leaving within one hour. It's good that you have arranged it already," She stood up and patted her racing heart, "Be careful around them. And don't provoke anyone there."
Yu Mei shook her head, "Of course not. I will keep my head lowered and never mess with them no matter what they do."
Shen Lihua nodded, "Yes, compromise for a few days then you will be back to your usual life."
"I. Will. Compromise. Well," Yu Mei flashed that nice daughter-in-law smile once again.
Shen Lihua felt a bit weird but she didn't delve deeper into it. "Alright, get ready first. And yes, put on some light and natural makeup and don't wear heels. They are quite judgemental regarding all these things."
"Thank you so much for letting me know about it," Yu Mei nodded.
Shen Lihua walked out of the room before closing the door behind her, missing the glint that flashed across her 'obedient daughter-in-law's' eyes.
In the living room.
"Brother, how is Ah Jin?" Jun Boyan asked the man.
"He is a busy little man now," Jun Zixuan chuckled in amusement.
Mu Shen and Jun Boyan both raised their eyebrows.
"Well, he is taking care of his Grandpa, he has got his responsibilities at the school as the newly appointed class President and Mei got him an art teacher who is helping him hone his skills," The last time they talked, the boy went on and on about how busy his schedule has become.
This pair of brother and sisters are certainly the weirdest species yet the cutest ones.
Mu Shen and Jun Boyan laughed, "Let's visit him someday," The latter suggested.
Mu Shen nodded, "We can also take Luoluo with us. I'll ask Ah Jin to recreate the scenes from that day."
"Mu Shen, your mind is malfunctioning because of the lack of women around you lately," Jun Boyan frowned. What happened that day was just an accident but this man just won't stop badgering him about it.
Mu Shen shrugged. He still found it fun though. That precious look on Luoluo's face. The way she blushed like a shy girl. He has never witnessed that stoic woman acting in such a way. He still hadn't got the chance to tease her about it.
"Is something going on between you both?" Jun Zixuan got a bit curious, "I mean...between you and Luoluo."
"Brother, trust me. There is nothing. NOTHING. This man has just lost a few screws of his head," Jun Boyan glanced at his brother before letting out a helpless sigh, "Brother, are you sure about going there?" He changed the topic.
"Very sure," Jun Zixuan nodded.
"Ah Xuan, is Mei'er ready?" Shen Lihua walked out of her room before striding towards them. She was feeling unusually nervous today.
