My Youth Began With Him

“Yes, Miss Mian takes after you, Master…”

“Yeah. It’s why she’s my favorite. Only she can help me realize my dream.”

“I look forward to the day when your dream comes true.”

Dropping to one knee, Messiah placed her hand on her chest.

Among all the servants, she had worked for Lin Ya for the longest time and knew Lin Ya’s ambition.

When Messiah delivered the steaming dumplings to Huo Mian, the latter was pacing in her room and thinking of the things that puzzled her.

“Miss Mian.”

“Messiah.”

“Master had me bring these to you… She made them personally.”

Messiah placed a plate of steaming dumplings on the table.

Huo Mian glanced at the food and didn’t speak.

“Sister Mian, you must take care of yourself since you’re pregnant. Don’t be sulky. You’ll gain nothing if you anger the Master.”

“I know. I won’t do it. I’ll eat because I’ll be able to go home and see my family.”

Huo Mian tested the dumplings with her poison-detecting device; finding nothing unusual, she sat down to eat.

She had to admit Lin Ya’s dumplings were truly delicious even though they had a different taste from the dumplings made by Yang Meirong.

Huo Mian hadn’t enjoyed her food so much after coming to this place.

“Miss Mian, the Master loves you…”

“You told me that, Messiah. You said she made that monster Leila because she missed me…”

Messiah: “…”

“So, she loves Leila, too, right?” At this thought, Huo Mian felt a bit jealous.

She just couldn’t understand why her own mother hadn’t come to find her even though she missed her. Instead, she had made a monster resembling her daughter to ease her longing for her daughter. Why?

Messiah said in a low voice, “In fact, the Master isn’t so nice to Miss Leila… They are more like employer and employee. Miss Leila is scared of the Master and never dares to call the Master Mom. Leila calls her Master just as we do.”

Stunned, Huo Mian’s hands shook slightly.

“I told you the truth, Miss Mian.”

“So what? I won’t call her Mom just because she made me dumplings and resurrected a few people for me… I still think it weird that she’d imprison her pregnant daughter and send an imposter to her daughter’s home to flip things upside down… If Leila lays one finger on my husband or my daughters, I’ll never forgive her in this life, next life, and the life after the next,” Huo Mian said with moistening eyes.

She truly couldn’t love this mother…

She wanted nothing but to return home and see her beloved family…

Messiah didn’t speak. After all, Miss Mian grew up in a different environment and it was understandable that she couldn’t accept the things in this place.

In C City, China.

“Daddy… Daddy… Help us.”

Little Bean wept out the words to Qin Chu on the phone.

Qin Chu was on his way to home.

“What’s wrong, Little Bean?”

“Mommy… won’t allow us to go to Tokyo with Handsome Su. She changed her mind… But Handsome Su has booked the air tickets and my sister and I don’t want to stand him up… Please help us.”

Little Bean cried her heart out on the phone.

Qin Chu’s heart broke when he heard her cry. “Baby, don’t cry. Daddy will be home in a minute.”
