Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Little Guy Can’t Be Yours, Right?_1

Su Wanxia arrived at the place she had arranged to meet with Jian Manhui, with an ecstatic Shanshan in tow.

It was a Western-style restaurant with a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, soft and charming—perfect for friends to meet and chat over old times.

Just as she entered, Su Wanxia’s phone rang.

"Manhui—"

"Have you arrived? I’m in room A201 on the second floor—"

"Yeah, I just got in, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Su Wanxia, led by a waiter, headed to the second floor.

"Mommy—who are we meeting? Is it your friend?" Shanshan asked, walking alongside Su Wanxia with her cute little face turned up in curiosity.

"Yes, she’s a really, really good friend of Mommy’s."

"Then—does she have any children?"

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh, "That auntie of yours doesn’t seem to be married yet, you can ask her if she has a boyfriend when you meet her."

Su Wanxia chatted casually with Shanshan, Manhui should still be unmarried, right? She didn’t get a chance to ask over the phone, but as far as she knew, it would be impressive if she had a boyfriend.

In no time, they reached the private room Jian Manhui had mentioned.

The waiter politely opened the door—

Su Wanxia caught sight of her long-lost old friend in an instant.

A sapphire-blue blouse, black wide-leg pants and black high heels, her brown hair tied high, beautiful features lightly made up, indescribably enchanting and relaxed.

"Manhui, you haven’t lost any of your charm~~"

Su Wanxia, holding Shanshan by the hand, stood at the door and said teasingly.

Jian Manhui’s expressions were a sight to behold, initially unspeakable excitement, but when she saw the little Tuanzi next to Su Wanxia, she suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, standing there stunned, staring at the cute little figure.

Her mouth hung open in a daze for quite some time before she managed to say incoherently, "Wanxia, this—this is..."

She gestured towards Shanshan, who kept blinking.

Su Wanxia laughed heartily and then turned to the waiter waiting for their order, "Two coffees to start with, and one cheesecake, thank you—"

"Certainly, please wait a moment~"

After the waiter stepped out and closed the door, Jian Manhui was still staring at Shanshan in astonishment.

Not understanding why her expression was so strange, Shanshan sweetly said, "Hello, Auntie, I’m Shanshan—"

Jian Manhui finally snapped back to reality, incredulous, she shook her head and then asked Su Wanxia suspiciously.

"Wanxia, this little guy couldn’t possibly be yours—could he?" She asked hesitantly. She wanted to ask if Su Wanxia had given birth to the child, but the words felt too direct as they reached her lips, and what if it wasn’t true? She simply couldn’t believe that the little Tuanzi before her was birthed by her irresponsible friend.

Su Wanxia nodded calmly, "That’s right, she’s my daughter."

Jian Manhui felt like she was going to faint. Was this a TV show? How could she have given birth to such a big child in the blink of an eye?

"Auntie, do you have a boyfriend?" Shanshan, still being starred at by Jian Manhui, suddenly remembered what her mommy had said and blurted out the question.

Jian Manhui had just pulled herself together from the shock when the little one’s question made her freeze again on the spot.

The corner of her mouth kept twitching—

Were the mother and daughter purposefully teasing her?

Arriving unannounced with a little Tuanzi had already given her a big enough shock, and now the little one had thrown another bombshell at her.

A boyfriend?

What the heck is a boyfriend? She truly didn’t know.

She gave Shanshan a dry laugh in response to her curious look, "Sweetie, Auntie doesn’t have a boyfriend--"

Su Wanxia was already laughing so hard she couldn’t straighten her waist. Jian Manhui’s expression—wasn’t it a bit too much? She really couldn’t help but laugh.

And how did her Shanshan actually ask that question? She had only mentioned it casually, not expecting the little girl to take it seriously.

"Manhui—I thought you would always have a boyfriend. How come you haven’t found one yet? You don’t really plan to be like an iron tree that never blooms, do you?"

Jian Manhui scoffed and rolled her eyes at her.

"So what if I don’t have a boyfriend? So what if I never bloom? It’s not like life isn’t--"

As Jian Manhui was speaking, she took a few steps forward, then crouched down and scooped Shanshan into her arms, planting an unsolicited kiss on her little cheek.

Shanshan squinted her eyes happily. She was Mommy’s friend, so she didn’t mind. Besides, she was really pretty too--

When Su Wanxia heard her words, she suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Hey, Manhui, you don’t really intend to never get married, do you? Your parents will be so upset--"

"Oh my dear, stop fretting over nothing," Jian Manhui replied nonchalantly to Su Wanxia.

Then, looking down at Shanshan, she asked softly, "Shanshan, right? Who is your daddy?"

When Jian Manhui asked the question, she really hadn’t considered that her father could be Mu Yingchen, given Su Wanxia had been gone so long. If she had married someone else and had a child, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Who knew the little one would look up with her adorable big eyes and sweetly say, "My daddy’s name is Mu Yingchen..."

Jian Manhui was stunned in place yet again, incredulous as she looked back and forth between the rosy-cheeked little dumpling and Su Wanxia, who showed no change in expression.

It was as if the child’s words had no effect on her whatsoever.

Could it be true?

Was she really Mu Yingchen’s child?

"Wanxia—could it be that when you left you were already..."

Su Wanxia nodded.

"Yes, I didn’t know at the time. It wasn’t until after I arrived there that I found out."

Jian Manhui sighed emotionally.

"So where have you been living these years?"

Nobody knew about Su Wanxia’s background, not even Ji Hua or Mu Chuyang.

Only Mu Yingchen and Mother Mu were in the know, along with Mu Feng who was present when everything happened.

But because Su Wanxia’s departure had such a profound impact on Mu Yingchen, he hadn’t told anyone, including Kang Xiaolan.

So most people were unaware of why she suddenly left again. Everyone assumed it had something to do with Mu Yingchen, but nobody knew it was not only related to him but also to his family.

Su Wanxia sighed lightly and sat on the couch, "These past few years, I’ve been living with my grandfather and the child."

"Grandfather?" Jian Manhui was shocked once more. What had actually happened to her? How much had she been hiding from them? Why didn’t they know anything she was talking about?

"I thought you didn’t have a grandfather?"

"He’s always been in Canada, not in China," Su Wanxia told Jian Manhui, her gaze drifting towards Shanshan.

With the child here, there were things that couldn’t be discussed in front of her.

Jian Manhui nodded in understanding, deciding not to dwell on the topic.

"So why have you come back this time? And does Mu Yingchen know?"

"I came back to see my parents and you guys. As for him... I have no intention of letting him know."
