Chapter 112: Extra (Yan Qinghe x Mu Sixue)
Yiyi was both happy and a little unhappy recently. The big sister she hadn’t seen for a few days had become her mother. She had even touched her head and had coaxed her to call her that.
She was a little shy and had reluctantly hidden behind her mommy.
“Doesn’t Yiyi want to play on the swing?” she had been picked up, and in the pleasant scent of lime, she had smelled a scent that was different from her mommy’s, but it was just as reassuring and warm.
“I do!” her little hand, with its milky fragrance, had grabbed Yan Qinghe’s neck. “Put me down. I can walk!”
She had taken her mommy and that person’s hands and had swung her small body between them. The home that had once only had her and her mommy now had another person, and everything was different from before.
She had heard her mommy call that person Summer, and she had also called her that, and had been told, “You’re being rude!”
But she was also a little unhappy. Before, her mommy would occasionally sleep with her, but now she was sleeping with this person named Summer. By the time she had vaguely realized that that person had stolen her mommy, it was too late!
Once, she had gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. She had rubbed her eyes in a daze and had seen that her mommy’s room door was half-open. The blanket was pulled up, and she couldn’t see anything. Was Summer bullying her mommy again?
She had pushed open the door, but no, her mommy was in Summer’s arms, her sleeping face more beautiful than the sleeping beauty in a fairy tale. Her mommy’s sleep had not been very good before, but now she was sleeping very well every day.
She had gradually begun to find Summer more pleasing to the eye. Until one day, Summer and her mommy had had a wedding. She had been put in a little princess dress, and many uncles and aunts, when they had seen her, their eyes had lit up, and they had exclaimed how cute she was. She had proudly held her head high and had walked beside her mommy, the three of them walking down the wedding aisle together.
Summer had kissed her mommy again, and her mommy, in a white wedding dress, had also smiled slightly. Everything was as happy as a fairy tale. She couldn’t help but call Summer “mother.” That person had been overjoyed. From that day on, she had gained the right to occasionally sleep between the two of them.
Yiyi thought to herself, this “mother” was worth it. She liked the feeling of being surrounded by love.
But, what she didn’t know was that her mother sometimes didn’t think so.
Yan Qinghe found that Yiyi was becoming more and more clingy to her, or rather, she liked to be with her and Mu Sixue. Although Yiyi was still small, for twenty-four hours a day, besides the time she was at work, after work, Mu Sixue was basically occupied by Yiyi. Even when they were sleeping, she would squeeze in between them.
In the quiet night, the family of three was sleeping in bed. Yan Qinghe turned over and sighed lightly. She carefully stepped over the child and went to Mu Sixue’s side to sleep. Her arm habitually wrapped around Mu Sixue, but she was afraid of disturbing her sleep.
She had unknowingly touched a certain full and round spot, and her breath had hitched. Her nose had unbearably rubbed against Mu Sixue’s neck. For three weeks, they had been sleeping with Yiyi. It had been so long since they had gotten married!
Yan Qinghe, who had once longed for a child, now felt that although her happiness had increased, her private space with Mu Sixue had suddenly decreased.
Mu Sixue felt as if there were a little puppy behind her, rubbing against her. She turned around and smelled a familiar scent, and she hugged Yan Qinghe back with a sense of security, murmuring in a soft and gentle voice, “Hmm~ what’s wrong?”
“Sixue, you’re awake?” Yan Qinghe was a little happy and whispered in her ear, “Yiyi seems to be asleep. Shall we go… okay?”
Mu Sixue closed her eyes slightly, her charming eyes slightly narrowed, and she said with a reproachful tone, “No, the child is still here.”
In the end, they had gone to the guest room. There were no outsiders here, and the bedding was not prepared. The curtains by the floor-to-ceiling window were slightly swaying in the wind. Looking down from above, the garden streetlights were twinkling.
The advantage of a garden villa was that it was far from the surroundings, and the other buildings were hundreds of meters away.
A slender and soft figure was wrapped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her soft posture graceful. The alpha quietly whispered in her ear and teased, “In the time I was away, did my wife miss me?”
“I didn’t,” she had just said, and her voice was almost incoherent.
The tears at the corners of her eyes had been broken into droplets in the blush. She had put aside her duplicity. Mu Sixue secretly hated that a certain someone was just tormenting her in this matter.
She couldn’t help but use a little strength. Yan Qinghe gasped and almost collapsed. She gritted her teeth and asked with a wicked tone, “In that time, was Senior… thinking of me?”
Otherwise, how could she have gotten through the dependence period of a marked alpha?
Before they had returned to the country to get married, she had stayed at Mu Sixue’s house in A-Country and had found some indescribable little things. Since Mu Sixue was unwilling to say that she loved her, she would force her to say even more shameful things.
In the end, she was surrounded by the fragrance, and her neck was lightly bitten. The woman, after biting, had raised an eyebrow and had said lightly, “Yes… I was thinking of you.” After she had said it, she had tilted her head up and had taken the initiative to kiss her lips again, her gaze seductive, her voice so soft and gentle that it could drip water. “But the Summer in my imagination seems… to be a little better than you… hmm?”
The end of her sentence was tinged with a seductive tone. Little Qinghe and Little Sixue were secretly competing. She took a deep breath, and this sentence suddenly aroused her competitive spirit. Yan Qinghe gritted her teeth, her eyes deepening. “Are you sure?”
The woman’s charm was mixed with a provocative coolness. Yan Qinghe was so teased that she couldn’t take it anymore. She easily picked her up in a koala hug. The top floor of the Yan residence was a glass ceiling, and you could see the vast starry river. A huge king-size bed.
Suddenly, she had the feeling of being under the vast sky. They were a legal couple.
She remembered the vision in her heart. She had always wanted to go to the polar island to see the aurora with the person she loved most. Hand in hand under the aurora, it was as if they had already lived a lifetime.
After it was over, she lovingly wiped her wet sideburns and, in the twinkling of the stars, she said with deep affection in her ear, “Sixue, let’s go to the polar island to see the aurora.”
They hadn’t seen the aurora. The next day, Mu Sixue had a cold, her voice was a little hoarse, and she didn’t want to talk to Yan Qinghe at all. The alpha knew she was in the wrong and took care of all the housework. Mu Sixue couldn’t let go of the Yan Corporation and was working even with a cold.
The people in the company, after the two of them had gotten married, had all tacitly agreed that Mu Sixue was the number one person in the company. What a joke! What was the difference between Chairwoman Yan’s wife and Chairwoman Yan?
Sometimes, if something was not approved by Chairwoman Yan, as long as Mu Sixue agreed, it would be approved at once. The few projects that had been deployed before were also progressing steadily, directly interrupting the deployment of the Wei Group. But it was said that the head of the Wei family, Wei Weizhi, was obsessed with pursuing a beautiful woman named Zhaoyan and was not as attentive to her company’s affairs as before.
The Yan Corporation had no strong enemies, and with Mu Sixue in charge, its development was flourishing, even more brilliant than when Yan Manxing was in charge.
Yiyi had gone to kindergarten, and during the day, it was just the two of them at home. The difference was that at this time in the past, they were both at the company.
Mu Sixue was wearing a soft white housecoat, her figure as graceful as a standing snow lotus. She was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and was at her computer, occasionally coughing. Yan Qinghe had not gone to the company and wanted to take care of her at home. Mu Sixue had not agreed. She just had a slight cold, and it didn’t affect her.
Yan Qinghe’s heart ached. She didn’t want her to work while she was sick. Neither of them could persuade the other, and they gradually compromised. She would take her to the hospital. A small illness could not be delayed.
The doctor had prescribed a few medicines. When they passed by a convenience store on their way out of the hospital, she had coughed lightly, had held Mu Sixue’s hand, and had shaken it, hinting that they had run out at home. Mu Sixue’s cheeks were flushed. She didn’t know if it was because of the cold, or if Yan Qinghe’s words had made her cool and clear face have a hint of a moving, shy ripple.
Ever since Yiyi had been sleeping alone, a certain item had been consumed at a terrifying rate. Should she stock up? Yan Qinghe licked her lips.
When she went to buy it, Mu Sixue had discreetly glanced at it and had silently memorized her usual brand and the model on the box. She had no research on this. Besides the first time, the others had all been prepared by Summer herself. Every time, she was in a hurry, and the box was torn to pieces, so she hadn’t known before.
In the convenience store, she had heard a pleasant but magnetic voice. “Yuelan, can you help me get this brand of orange juice? I can’t reach it.”
A woman with long, beautiful hair, her features as cold as a mountain peak, but her gaze on the woman beside her was very gentle. She was one meter seventy-eight tall and obediently did as the woman had said, helping her get the bottle of orange juice from the shelf.
[Why do you always get this brand?] the tall woman had asked in sign language. Only then had Mu Sixue realized that she was a mute, and also an alpha, and a high-level one at that, at least an S-class alpha, but she was very beautiful, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, or maybe in her early forties.
The woman beside her, with her long brown hair coiled up, her amber phoenix eyes, when she narrowed them, were both beautiful to the point of being dangerous, and also had an irresistible majesty. In that instant, a thin layer of sweat and a coldness had broken out on Mu Sixue’s back, as if she had been stared at by a beautiful leopard.
The woman’s slightly narrowed phoenix eyes, when she had seen the mute alpha’s sign language, had curved into a smile, and then she had shaken her head helplessly. “I don’t remember either. I remember that my daughter liked to drink it, but I don’t remember what she looked like, and I seem to have… lost her.”
Yan Qinghe’s back was to her. Hearing the familiar voice, all the unbearable memories of her childhood had risen up. She had turned around stiffly, and as expected, it was Yan Manxing! She had looked for her before and had not found her, and she was actually with this alpha.
She had never thought that she would meet her biological mother here. Yan Manxing had disappeared so suddenly. If it weren’t for Xi Zhaowan transferring the company’s shares to her name in advance, it would have definitely caused a shock in the Yan Corporation.
Hadn’t Yan Manxing always been a fan of OO love? But after losing her memory, she had been with an alpha. How ironic! The Yan Manxing in her vision had shed her previous oppressive aura and was like a gentle woman who had returned to the farm, living a quiet life with a beautiful and gentle alpha.
She did not know that the alpha in front of her was her mother, named Qin Yuelan, and was the one-night stand Yan Manxing had found at the age of eighteen to have a child. She had even specifically chosen a high-level alpha. At that time, Qin Yuelan was still a student, poor and down on her luck. She had been chosen by Yan Manxing and had had her first time taken.
At first, Yan Manxing had just treated Qin Yuelan as a human-shaped tool for pheromone relief. After losing her memory, she had met her again and had been taken home.
Qin Yuelan was kind, pure, and gentle, and was keen on good deeds. She had known before that Yan Manxing was a certain business tycoon and would occasionally come to her for a one-night stand. The money she had thrown at her, she had all donated to charity. She had not liked the Yan Manxing before she had lost her memory. She had been inscrutable and had a crazy streak. After losing her memory, she had softened a lot and would often say that she had a daughter, but she didn’t remember where her daughter was.
Yan Qinghe’s eyes ached. “Sixue, let’s go.” She had no strength to accept Yan Manxing back into her life. It is said that when a child wants to support their parents, the parents are no longer there.
But for her, it was the opposite—the parent wanted to support her, but the child was not there.
Even if Yan Manxing still thought of her after losing her memory, for her, who had already healed herself after the scab had fallen off, it was too late.
On the way, she was silent. In the car, she finally said dejectedly that she had seen Yan Manxing. “But I don’t want to bring her back. Sixue, will you think I’m unfilial?”
“No,” Mu Sixue said, wrapping her arms around her head and holding her tight, kissing away her vulnerability, bit by bit. “A mother’s existence should be to give her child enough love in their childhood.”
Yan Qinghe: “I’m sometimes afraid that I’ll be like her.” It is said that a parent’s influence lasts from childhood to the rest of their life.
Mu Sixue: “Summer, you will be a very good mother.” Besides, she was still there. They would let Yiyi grow up in happiness.
“I will always be with you, always love you, forever.”
Yan Qinghe finally heard Mu Sixue say that she loved her. A solemn promise, like a spring breeze and rain, nourished her heart, which had been stirred up by Yan Manxing. The waves of her unease were smoothed by her tenderness, and happiness filled every cell.
“Thank you for loving me.”
“Thank you for coming to this world and letting me meet you,” she said, and she couldn’t help but kiss her.
Later, they went to the polar island together, climbed the lush green Hat Mountain, walked hand in hand by the Jökulsárlón glacier, and took pictures under the Skógafoss waterfall. Finally, they stayed in a small cabin under the polar island.
Sitting outside the small cabin, she held Mu Sixue’s waist, and the woman leaned on her shoulder. In the colorful aurora of green, purple, and pink, she received the gift promised by her Little Aunt, Xi Zhaowan, the goddess Bai Xi. In the aurora, two crystal-clear, jade-like rings fell from the sky.
One was engraved with “Sheng Sheng – H,” and the other was engraved with “Shi Shi – X,” the initials of her and Sixue’s names.
Even if there was a next life, they would, with the rings and their unforgettable love for each other, find each other and grow old together, happy forever.
