Chapter 1457 - 425: Mother!

At this moment, Shen Yunzhou was filled with joy, thinking back on the days when the siblings relied on each other for survival, and now, they were about to gain another blood-related family member. He couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.

Hearing Lu Yaoyao’s words, he casually replied, "I say, you admire your senior brother so much, what do you think my sister saw in him?"

Lu Yaoyao trembled all over, her eyes widening suddenly: "What did you say?"

Only then did Shen Yunzhou realize he misspoke, hurriedly covering his mouth: "Wait... You didn’t know?"

He stomped his foot in frustration, "You little trickster set me up!"

It’s over, it’s over. After that incident, he had promised his sister sincerely to keep his lips sealed, yet now Lu Yaoyao had tricked him into speaking, leaving Shen Yunzhou in a cold sweat with anxiety.

He thought Zhou Qing had already told her.

But Lu Yaoyao was already trembling, her silver hair floating with her rapid breaths.

She stared intently at the two figures in the distance, memories of her time with Shen Hanyi over the past hundred and fifty years flashing through her mind.

Those inexplicable feelings of closeness, that subconscious reliance, that indescribable familiarity, and all of dad’s various behaviors...

It turned out everything had already been a premonition.

At this moment, the long-buried yearning burst forth uncontrollably.

She squatted on the ground, wailing like a child.

Shen Yunzhou immediately panicked, especially seeing Zhou Qing and his sister already noticing them, with his sister even wiping her mouth and walking over.

"Oh dear!" Shen Yunzhou clumsily tried to lower his voice, "I admit I was wrong, okay? What’s happened to you? My sister’s coming over, you mustn’t let anything slip!"

Saying that, he was about to make a quick escape.

"Stop!" Shen Hanyi’s cold voice came, freezing Shen Yunzhou in place. He turned to Zhou Qing with a pleading face: "I really didn’t bully her!"

Zhou Qing furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Lu Yaoyao who was squatting and crying her heart out, then slowly squatted down himself.

He reached out, wanting to pat her shoulder, but hesitated in mid-air, and finally only asked softly, "Lu, what happened?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly raised her head, her tear-filled eyes red and swollen.

She looked at Zhou Qing, then at Shen Hanyi, who stood by with the same puzzled expression.

In that instant, years of suppressed emotions broke like a dam, and she couldn’t control herself anymore, staggering to her feet and throwing herself into Shen Hanyi’s arms:

"Mother——!"

This heart-wrenching cry, like a bolt from the blue, left everyone present frozen in place.

Shen Hanyi’s body noticeably trembled, her hands hovering in the air, unsure of what to do.

Zhou Qing remained in his half-squat position, his face filled with shock.

And Shen Yunzhou had his mouth wide open, looking like a startled frog.

Having a rough understanding of Lu Yaoyao’s past, Zhou Qing, after a brief moment of shock, was the first to respond.

After all, this girl had once even called him dad, including the notes above her head.

"Lu, stop this. Did something happen to you recently?" Zhou Qing quickly asked.

From a few days ago, this girl had been acting strangely, even mumbling about how both of them didn’t have much time left.

But no matter how they asked, they couldn’t make sense of it.

Lu Yaoyao just cried harder, like a stubborn child: "Why did you leave me and dad back then, why..."

She choked, her voice broken, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of her past two lives.

Shen Hanyi sighed softly, feeling Lu Yaoyao’s collapse and despair at this moment.

That trembling body carried so much untamable longing and grievance.

However——

She looked at Zhou Qing with a complex expression.

Zhou Qing, full of apology, quickly tugged at Lu Yaoyao’s arm: "Lu, calm down a little first..."

"No!" Lu Yaoyao held on even tighter, afraid that the person in front of her would disappear if she let go for even a moment.

Listening to Lu Yaoyao’s hysterical crying, Zhou Qing was momentarily at a loss.

He could only send a message to Shen Hanyi: "She might have encountered something recently, let her cry it out. Once she’s calm, we’ll question her slowly."

Shen Hanyi nodded slightly, having no choice but to let her hold on.

After all, throughout the one hundred and fifty years, through their interactions, she had gained a general understanding of this girl’s character.

"Be careful, don’t hold too tight~" Zhou Qing couldn’t help but remind, glancing at Shen Hanyi’s abdomen.
