Chapter 945: Mummy Abandoned Her

When the child was still small, it was hard to recognize whom she looked like. However, one could clearly see that she resembled her mother now.

Xunxun had some occasional sniffles, but she meekly obeyed her father and had stopped crying.

Lu Yi hugged his daughter away, and then brought his two other sons into the room. Out of these three little ones, only Xunxun needed to be carried by him personally. She was a demanding child, unlike the other two obedient little ones.

He greatly cherished Xunxun, but he also felt slightly sorry for his two sons.

Since they were well and healthy, everyone in the family gave all their attention to her. They hugged her more, and did not pay too much attention to the other two sons.

Hence, Xunxun was extremely attached to her mother, while her other two sons were more independent.

“Xunxun, play with your brothers for a while, okay?”

Lu Yi tenderly caressed his daughter’s little cheeks and whispered, “Even though mommy’s not here anymore, your daddy and brothers will still love and adore you.”

Little Xunxun let out a sniffle, before nodding slightly. Actually, she had learned to understand words and knew what others were talking about. However, she could only understand and not reply. She even refused to utter the word ‘Guagua’ that she often used to call him, much to his annoyance previously.

Then, Lu Yi placed his daughter down between his two sons.

Little Lu Qi and Little Lu Guang knew it was their sister, and obediently made space for her to lie between them. The eldest Lu Qi even extended his chubby little hand and held his sister’s scrawny little finger.

Lu Guang babbled incoherently, as though he was consoling his little sister to stop crying.

Little Xunxun sniffled with her little nose again, and finally stopped her tears. However, her eyes and nose remained reddened from crying, seeming adorable and pitiful at the same time. Lu Yi tucked them into the blanket and sat down beside them, accompanying them as they fell asleep.

Finally, Little Xunxun fell asleep soundly. However, her eyelashes quivered slightly occasionally, as minuscule beads of tears rolled down her cheeks.

Little Xunxun was the only daughter in the Lu family in over 100 years. She was very adorable, but very difficult to handle as well. She cried easily, and was prone to illnesses. Everyone in the family aged significantly while fretting over her health- Ye Shuyun’s hair greyed drastically, Lu Jin’s face became tattered and wrinkly, while Old Master Liu was constantly anxious and angry.

The children were still so young, what could they do in the future? Naturally, they would not lack food or nutrition in the Lu family, as they would provide the children with the best education and the finest living conditions. However, no matter how perfect the condition they raised them in, how much money they spent, and how fine the food they provided the children with, none of that would forever be sufficient.

They could never replace their mother.

Outside the nearby window, it was a magical yet gloomy wintery atmosphere, with the air bitingly frosty. Flurries of snow seemed to begin to fall, the gracefully descending snowflakes seemed so pristine, yet piercingly cold.

Winter had arrived exceptionally early this year, and today’s temperature was almost subzero. Curiously, it was still in the early days of winter.

Lu Yi stood up and ambled toward the window, pulling the curtains open and gazing mindlessly at the calming snowfall. Soon, the ground was completely covered in snow, blanketing the surrounding landscape in snowy white. The sky and earth seemed to have fused into one gigantic canvas, painting one’s vision with absolute whiteness, with the horizon nowhere to be found.

The corner of his eyes suddenly twitched in pain that was so unbearable, as though it was being stabbed and pierced by uncountable sharp knives.

Suddenly, he covered his face with his hands, as though his eyes were hurt by the glaring whiteness. Then, the corner of his eyes ached again, turning from warm to burning hot.

The advertisement was playing on the television channel, the lady in it was stunningly beautiful. She stood while facing sideways, her red luscious lips forming into a bedazzling smile. Her waist was curvaceous, her collarbone was exquisitely sculptured, while her legs were long and slender. Besides, her facial features were unspeakably beautiful, while her body figure would make men drool and women eaten up with jealousy.

Then, a little girl walked toward Lu Yi unsteadily. She had large bright eyes, the white of her eyes as clear as a cloudless sky, while her dark irises glimmered like onyx gemstones, pristine and glistening like the water from mountain springs.

She was quite thin, and her chin was sharp, but her complexion was extremely fair and she looked very pretty. She seemed uncannily similar to the lady in the advertisement, with beautiful eyes, plump lips, and little chubby cheeks.

She seemed to be slightly below two years old, her hair was black and long like the woman on the television.

Then, two more children approached him as well. They seemed to be slightly older than the girl, tall and adorable with chubby cheeks. However, compared to the little girl, they were evidently burlier and tougher-looking.

“Mama...” The little girl opened her eyes wide, as she extended her dainty fingers toward the television screen.

“It’s Mama.”

The two boys rushed over, each of them holding one of her hands.

Their eyes darted toward the television as well.

Mommy... Their mommy was on the television. They thought that she had disappeared, but she had actually entered the screen. Ah, why is mommy in here? I’m not sure why...

Ye Shuyun was shocked when she could not find the three children, and had almost scoured the entire house to search for them. However, she still could not locate them. These three children were her most treasured things in life, how could she continue living if something happened to them?

“Madam, they’re here.” The Housekeeper rushed over and yelled loudly at Ye Shuyun to inform her that they were merely watching the television in the living room.

They’re watching television in the living room... Ye Shuyun was flabbergasted momentarily. How did they run over there so quickly? These three little rascals, they can zoom everywhere with their little limbs now. If they grew any bigger, she felt that she would no longer be able to catch up with them.

Ye Shuyun hastily ran over and saw the three of them sitting on the floor obediently with their eyes glued to the screen. Even Little Xunxun, who was usually quite worrying, was sitting quietly between her two brothers. However, she was still very small. Despite being born on the same day as her brothers, she seemed as though she was one year younger.

When Ye Shuyun noticed what was playing on the television, she instantly felt depressed and tears unconsciously streamed from her eyes.

It was an advertisement for a perfume from a renowned international brand that Yan Huan filmed before she vanished. Once it aired, it played everywhere, greatly elevating her popularity to a frightening level with merely just an advertisement. It seemed that her fame had not faded at all, despite her extended hiatus. She was still the Best Actress Yan, dominating the box office and bringing in about 5 billion moviegoers. Several years had passed since then, but her record still remained unrivaled.

The three children stood obediently in a row, without making a fuss.

“Granny,” Eldest son Lu Qi suddenly turned his head around and asked Ye Shuyun.

“Why is Mama in there, and not playing with us?”
