She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 94 - 0: One Wave Settles, Another Rises

Chapter 94: Chapter 094: One Wave Settles, Another Rises

“Mmm.”

However, Yun Xi did not explain that she had taken Yunzhan’s surname. Her original name was Gong Xi, which Yunzhan thought was too rustic, so he changed it to Yun Xi.

Yun Meixian had a smile on her face, and her tone could not hide her happiness.

“So we are actually relatives now.”

But Yun Xi still showed little expression and spoke as little as possible.

“Mmm.”

...

Mu Lan saw that Yun Meixian was somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

“That’s just her personality. She’s not very good at expressing herself, but she’s really lovely.”

Lovely? Yun Xi frowned slightly. She had been Mu Lan’s bodyguard for just a few days and was already bewildered by these strange descriptors.

Lovely, easy-going? What do these words have to do with her?

“I see. It’s actually my first time meeting a relative like this; what a coincidence.

Then, Lanlan, Xiaoxi, if you don’t mind, how about we have afternoon tea together?”

“Of course, we can.”

“…”

Yun Xi did not say anything, merely following silently behind the two, observing their laughter and chatter, unable to, and not wanting to join in the conversation.

Yun Meixian was quite girlish at heart, so her choices surprisingly matched Mu Lan’s taste.

“Auntie, I had no idea you also liked desserts.”

“I can make various kinds of desserts too, like fondant cakes. I even participated in a competition when I was accompanying Yize studying abroad and won a gold medal.”

“That impressive?”

“It’s not about being impressive, it’s because my son loves desserts, so…”

“Senior likes sweets? I couldn’t tell.”

Yun Meixian’s smile shifted subtly, and a fleeting… melancholy appeared in her eyes. But it passed quickly, as usual.

“Xiaoxi, you should try some too. I think it’s pretty good; the chef here is excellent.”

“No need, you two enjoy.”

Yun Xi focused solely on her cup of plain water, while Mu Lan scooped a spoonful of dessert towards her mouth.

“Just have a taste, it’s really good.”

Yun Xi, feeling helpless, took a bite, but from her expression, it was really hard to tell whether she found it tasty or not.

“Pfft…Yun Xi, honestly, the boss might worry about what’s wrong with the dessert chef after seeing you like this.”

“Lanlan was right, Xiaoxi, you are so adorable.”

Feeling embarrassed by the compliment, Yun Xi couldn’t help blushing and averted her gaze, awkwardly raising her hand to cover the lower half of her face to hide her shyness.

“If only I could have a daughter as adorable as you two, unfortunately, I… only have a son.”

“Senior is great too, so outstanding.”

“What good is being outstanding? He doesn’t date, sigh, he was also a loner abroad, unwilling to get involved.”

Yun Meixian dared not say that he had always been in love with Mu Lan, which caused him to be this way, after all, Mu Lan was already married, and one must be tactful in what one says.

“So, do you plan to stay in the country in the future? If you are, I could introduce some excellent single girls to Senior.”

Mu Lan spoke sincerely, clearly serious about it.

“Staying in the country…”

Yun Meixian’s eyelids drooped as if suddenly reminded of something, revealing uncontrollable melancholy. Noticing her instantaneous shift in mood, Mu Lan couldn’t help but carefully show her concern:

“Auntie… are you okay?”

Yun Meixian looked up, tears unexpectedly welling up in her eyes, startling Mu Lan.

“Sorry, I lost my composure.”

She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and said with emotion,

“I haven’t figured out the answer to this question yet. Yize wants to come back, but I no longer have… have any relatives here.”

For some reason, the phrase ‘no relatives’ made Mu Lan’s heart unbearably heavy.

“Auntie, I’m sorry, did I remind you of something sad?”

“It’s nothing, it’s all in the past. If Yize really finds China better and meets the girl he loves, gets married and has children, I would naturally choose to settle back in China.

But… it might not be in Sea City.”

Mu Lan paused, so it’s only temporary in Sea City?

“I thought Auntie would stay in Sea City so that I could set you up with my mom for tea in the afternoons.

My dad passed away a while ago, and although I sometimes keep her company, she always puts me first. We worry about each other too much when we’re together; it’s better living like we used to.”

“With a daughter as wonderful as you, your mom is truly blessed. Lanlan, if you don’t mind, could I consider you my goddaughter? I don’t know why, but the more I see you, the more I like you.”

Since she couldn’t be a daughter-in-law, becoming a goddaughter wasn’t bad—definitely couldn’t let a good girl slip away.

“Then I will try my best to find a suitable daughter-in-law for you, Godmother, so senior brother can stop being single sooner.”

With Mu Lan’s words, Yun Meixian was delighted. Such a homey scene made Yun Xi, sitting aside, take a sip of lemon water, tasting its sourness.

After exchanging WeChat contacts, Mu Lan wanted to invite Yun Meixian to dinner, but a phone call made them go their separate ways.

When Yun Meixian exited the main entrance of the mall, Han Yongmei came walking towards her. As they brushed past each other, Han Yongmei subconsciously looked back at Yun Meixian until her figure disappeared, then withdrew her gaze, feeling oddly… familiar.

It wasn’t long before Han Yongmei and Mu Lan ran into each other.

Mu Lan didn’t expect that right after seeing off her godmother, she would run into her mother-in-law.

After their unpleasant encounter at the hospital last time, meeting again was somewhat awkward.

Han Yongmei still carried her usual airs, and as the younger, Mu Lan had to maintain basic manners.

“Mom, you’re out shopping too.”

“Yes, just walking around. Are you heading home now?”

That question was tricky; saying yes might seem like she was avoiding her, saying no meant enduring small talk with her mother-in-law—truly a bit difficult. Glancing at her phone, Mu Lan said,

“It’s almost dinner time; shall we eat first?”

Han Yongmei thought her daughter-in-law would steer clear but was surprised to be asked about dinner. Could she have already forgotten their previous disputes?

“I am indeed a bit hungry, and there’s a good local cuisine restaurant upstairs.”

Mu Lan smiled.

“All right, as you wish.”

As they moved toward the elevator and passed the Chanel store, coincidentally Xian Yaping came out with shopping bags.

“Sister, what a coincidence?”

The artificial sweetness of ‘sister’ grated on Han Yongmei like nails on a chalkboard; she felt as if she’d seen something dirty and wanted to ignore her, yet Xian Yaping blocked her path first.

“Why the hurry, why go? Pretending not to know me really breaks my heart.”

Mu Lan watched the interaction between them, thinking it didn’t look like that of sisters but… somewhat odd.

It was better to remain a silent spectator and eat popcorn from the sidelines.

“This is a public place; you might not mind embarrassing yourself, but I do!”

Han Yongmei spoke harshly, leaving no room for saving face.
