Yue Tong approached, enveloped in a rich scent of mandrake that was strikingly similar to his own. Yun Zhi Yue was momentarily entranced, feeling as if her soul had been drained.
"Yun Zhi Yue, what are you thinking? Your soul seems to be in turmoil," a voice broke through her reverie. It was only when the Reincarnation Stone awakened her that she realized she was being embraced, with Yue Tong's chin resting on her shoulder.
In a soft voice, he said, "Yun Zhi Yue, do you know? The time we spent together in high school was the most peaceful period of my life. I once thought I could bask in the warmth of the sun, but it turned out to be nothing but an illusion. I am destined to live in the shadows of rain."
His words trailed off, becoming quieter until they were interrupted by Lan Mu. "What are these two children doing?"
Startled, Yun Zhi Yue quickly pushed Yue Tong away. He spoke first, "I’m sorry, Aunt Lan. Ever since I became an orphan, I've been reminiscing about you and Yun Zhi Yue more than ever. I just miss you all so much; I apologize for my rudeness."
Lan Mu looked at Yun with surprise. "Orphan?"
Yun's eyes were red, clearly showing signs of emotional distress. He nodded and explained, "That child left heavily injured back then; he wasn’t taken away—his father left him."
Lan Mu felt a pang in her heart. "He was severely injured at that time; who would take care of him after his father left? None of us went to help—what were you thinking, Old Yun? Is his mother still abroad? I’ll go personally to apologize."
Yue Tong lowered his head and said, "Aunt Lan, I don’t have a mother; I grew up with my father. You don’t need to feel guilty; it’s all in the past. It was my decision to return back then; it had nothing to do with Yun Shu."
"Over the years, Yun Shu has taken care of me through his company back home; he has done enough for me," he added.
Upon hearing that he had no mother, Lan Mu's heart softened even more as she stepped forward to comfort Yue Tong by patting him on the shoulder. "Your parents would be proud to see how much you've grown. You’ve helped Yun Zhi Yue; from now on, consider the Yun Family as your own."
"Do you have a place to stay now? If not, you can stay with the Yun Family; your room hasn’t changed," she continued.
Yun nodded in agreement. "Aunt Lan is right; you should stay here."
Yun Zhi Yue narrowed her eyes, contemplating the situation. It seemed that both her parents had been dealt with effectively.
Unbeknownst to her, perhaps due to the silent and reticent nature she had during high school, she always felt that the current demeanor of Yue Tong was false and hypocritical.
She wanted to move into their house, but before her thoughts could fully form, Yue Tong had already declined, saying, "I appreciate Aunt Lan and Yun Shu's kindness, but I'm no longer a high school student. I have my own Art Gallery to manage and can't stay at the Yun Family's."
Lan Mu nodded in understanding. "That's true. At your age, it's the perfect time to start your own ventures."
Unlike Yun Zhi Yue, who graduated from university only to become a recluse at home. "You should spend more time with Yun Zhi Yue and encourage her to be more ambitious."
Yun Zhi Yue interjected, feeling unfairly targeted. "Mom, how can you say I'm not ambitious? I've been working for quite a while now! Yet you never say a word about me but seem to favor other people's children."
Lan Mu, instead of feeling guilty, suddenly clapped her hands. "Oh dear, I almost forgot! I need to call Nan Jing's parents!"
"I was wondering why you asked me last time about not wanting Nan Jing as a son-in-law. Turns out you already knew!"
"Be honest with me—how long have you two been dating?"
Yun Zhi Yue rolled her eyes. "We're not dating! There's nothing going on between us. He just kissed me! Mom, hurry up and call his family so that Nan Shu can give him a good talking-to!"
Yue Tong chuckled suddenly. "So does that mean I have a chance?"
The living room fell silent.
Not only Lan Mu and Yun Zhi Yue, but even Yun Du, who had always shown great fondness for Yue Tong, wore a serious expression. It seemed he did not approve of Yue Tong's idea at all.
