“Xiaoxi, I really know I was wrong~”
“Get away, don’t touch me!”
“Don’t be like that, baby. I’ve been reflecting, really, really!”
“No means no! Take your dirty paws back!”
Ye Xinglan, like a sneaky kitten, tentatively reached out with her restless paws, only for Xiaoxi to mercilessly slap them away with a smack.
At the breakfast table, Da Tianxin blinked as she watched the sobbing Ye Xinglan begging for forgiveness and the cold-faced Xiaoxi.
She didn’t understand why the two had this kind of interaction first thing in the morning… How strange.
They had come back last night and gone straight to bed. When did Ye Xinglan manage to make Xiaoxi angry?
But she hadn’t expected Ye Xinglan to be such a henpecked husband. Xiaoxi’s anger was quite intimidating.
At least Da Tianxin had never seen Ye Xinglan act so whiny and pleading before.
Xiaoxi snorted. What was the use of being a henpecked rich girl?
She only pretended to be a poor little lamb at times like this.
At night, she would reveal her true self as a big bad wolf.
This was the first time she’d seen someone who remembered to eat but didn’t remember to get hit, even more so than Fox Momomo!
Not to mention, she had forced herself to get up on shaky legs this morning to avoid letting Da Tianxin notice anything.
After all, going out during the day and exercising at night was just too tiring, wasn’t it?
Xiaoxi was genuinely angry this time. She decided that if Ye Xinglan didn’t repent this time, she would… she would truly grab the bedding and sleep on the sofa tonight!
“Hey hey, Xinglan, look at this. This blogger’s analysis of the Blood Moon Witch’s true identity actually makes some sense.”
Da Tianxin extended her phone: “I think it’s quite coincidental. Do you think I have a chance of running into the Blood Moon Witch in North Blossom City during my trip these two days?”
Ever since the video of Ye Xinglan at Tianqi Church and her nighttime activities was exposed, a new wave of discussions about the Blood Moon Witch had erupted online in the past two days.
Many bloggers were meticulously analyzing every frame of the original video and talking nonsense.
It turned out that the internet’s curiosity was not something the Association could suppress so easily.
Another important reason was that Ye Xinglan’s incident perfectly collided with the conspiracy theories that netizens loved.
After all, the appearance of the Blood Moon Witch in Summersea City not long ago had caused quite a stir.
But that time, due to timely handling, the Association finally concluded that “the Blood Moon Witch has been brought under the Association’s control again,” and the matter passed in a few days.
Then, the Blood Moon Witch suddenly showed up in North Blossom City again, and seemed to be acting freely.
This caused an uproar among netizens, leading to conspiracy theories like “the Association’s hidden scheme” and “the Association’s unspeakable secret.”
“Ahem, Tianxin, have you decided where to go today?”
Xiaoxi used the action of clearing the dishes to step between them.
She had deliberately prevented Ye Xinglan from seeing the rampant information these past two days.
Fortunately, some netizens had debunked that the Blood Moon Witch was actually helping deal with the Divine Summon Order people at Tianqi Church that day.
But that didn’t stop the conspiracy theories from flying around.
“Oh, oh, I’ve decided! You don’t have to accompany me today. I’ll start by visiting Tianqi Church at nine in the morning, and end by taking night photos at East City Bridge at ten at night. I’ve got it all planned!”
Is this a true university special forces? From nine in the morning to ten at night, this trip sounded more grueling than going to work.
Not to mention, Da Tianxin had to take photos and check in at every place to post on her Moments… She dared not imagine how tiring it would be.
“That’s perfect! I actually have some personal matters today. So, Tianxin, have fun on your own~”
Ye Xinglan waved her hand. After breakfast, Da Tianxin had already shouldered her bag and was ready to leave.
She needed to catch the early subway to visit Tianqi Church during off-peak hours.
After the bang of the door closing, Xiaoxi glanced at Ye Xinglan sideways. “Personal matters? What personal matters do you have today?”
“Didn’t you hear what Tianxin said last night? Of course, I need to carefully prepare a gift for [Eternal Star!”
“You? Prepare a gift for Eternal Star?”
Xiaoxi frowned. The rich girl’s excited expression was exactly like a mischievous child up to no good. Clearly, she had bad intentions.
“Hey, you’re overthinking it. There’s no way to do anything to Eternal Star by giving a gift, so I plan to prepare a proper one. That way, I might have a chance to disguise myself as a fan and get closer to Eternal Star.”
Hmm… the rich girl’s words made some sense. Xiaoxi shook her head and didn’t think much of it. “Coincidentally, I might also have to go out today… Ah.”
Xiaoxi’s slightly surprised voice piqued Ye Xinglan’s curiosity. She leaned in and saw that Su Yuening had sent Xiaoxi a message.
“Xiao Xi, do you two have time in the next couple of days? Your biological mother wrote in her letter that she has a short break in a couple of days and might come back. When she does, come home for a meal, and let her meet Xinglan too.”
The image of her biological mother, already a blur, flashed through her mind. No wonder Xiaoxi was surprised.
Her mother had been out of contact for a long time. Suddenly saying she was coming back was indeed a bit startling.
Speaking of which, her mother was also quite mysterious. According to Su Yuening, the place where she worked abroad had basically no signal.
So although Xiaoxi had her mother’s contact in her phone, it had been a long time since she last messaged her.
Although her mother did send letters from time to time… but she seemed to miss her wife more than her child.
She only sent letters to Su Yuening, at most mentioning in the letter to let Su Yuening send greetings to Xiaoxi and Keke.
Thinking about it, she hadn’t spoken to her biological mother in a long time.
“Hey hey, is that Xiaoxi’s biological mother? Come to think of it, last time we went home, we only met one parent.”
Ye Xinglan suddenly became interested. “Xiaoxi, what kind of person is your mother? Our other mother is so gentle; the other mother should also be a good-tempered person, right?”
Moreover, Xiaoxi herself was so cute and, most of the time, had a good temper. Logically, her biological mother should be a similar person, right?
Meeting her biological mother was supposed to be a happy thing, but Xiaoxi curled her lips as if she had heard something absurd.
“Gentle? Xinglan, if you think that way about my mother, you’ll definitely be disappointed.”
If Su Yuening was generally the image of a loving mother at home, then Xiaoxi felt that her biological mother, Su Lin, was definitely the image of a strict father.
Recalling her mother’s always calm expression, Xiaoxi remembered clearly. Her mother wasn’t simply expressionless or a “three-no” type.
She was more like someone who wouldn’t have any unnecessary emotions no matter what she faced, so she always appeared calm and composed.
Sometimes Xiaoxi was really curious. How could someone as good-tempered as Su Yuening fall for her biological mother?
