Chapter 373: Chapter 371: The Guy Who Forgets Friends Upon Seeing Color_1

Su Ran and Su Yun immediately lowered their heads after being yelled at by the old master.

Su Ran wanted to say more, but the old master suddenly raised his authoritative redwood cane with a fierce look, "Say one more word, and see if I don’t whack you right now!"

"Father..." Su Ran looked at the old master with a mix of conflict and gratitude.

His thoughts inevitably drifted back to a time long ago--

He and Xiaoyun had been orphans since childhood and had been mistakenly sold to Canada by human traffickers. They fought desperately to escape from the traffickers, only to end up homeless on the streets, where they were bullied and insulted.

Just when they were about to lose all hope in life, they met a world-weary middle-aged man.

He remembered that at that time, three boys who were also homeless on the streets insisted on stealing a piece of cake he had gotten for Xiaoyun.

That cake, he had exchanged for three days of window cleaning for the shop owner because it was Xiaoyun’s birthday. As an older brother, he could give nothing else to Xiaoyun, except for that small piece of cake as a gift.

But those three boys who were a little older came over and demanded it. When he refused, they tried to take it by force!

This struggle led him and Xiaoyun to fight with those three. He no longer remembered how badly he and Xiaoyun had been beaten at that time; all that was in his mind was the thought that he would rather perish with them than let them bully him and Xiaoyun anymore!

The fight became chaotic, with bloodshed and broken heads, and at that moment, a black luxury car stopped beside them.

A distinguished yet weary middle-aged man stepped out of the car.

He then looked at him and Xiaoyun and gently asked, "Would you like to come with me?"

At that moment, he felt as if a rainbow had broken through the gloomy sky, and he believed that the God of Destiny had finally taken pity on them!

He reached down to help Xiaoyun up, nodding without hesitation to accept!

That’s how they left behind their life on the streets...

He remembered asking his foster father at the age of ten why such a powerful man would adopt two little beggars.

The old man’s eyes, filled with the weight of years, responded, "Because at that time, I had lost many relatives, and your personality reminded me of my child. Also--we were both foreigners stranded in a foreign land, perhaps that’s the connection between us..."

It was then that he learned his foster father had had a son and relatives but the son was no longer in this world, and those so-called relatives were whereabouts unknown...

So, as he grew older, he began to follow those people around, searching for the relatives his foster father had mentioned.

He felt like finding Su Wanxia was heaven being moved by his foster father’s determination; despite getting older each year, his foster father’s strong will had never changed.

In his heart, his foster father was the greatest elder the world could have...

"Father... The luckiest thing in my and Xiaoyun’s life is having met you..."

The old master laughed heartily, "Xiaoran, Xiaoyun, I’ve raised you myself, and I’ve long considered you my own sons. You’ve also saved me a lot of worry over the years. There’s no need for thanks. This is just the bond we share!"

With those words from the old master, Su Ran and Su Yun felt immensely moved, fortunate to have met him!

When Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen returned with the two Little Tuanzis, they began to pack the things they needed.

"Can we get back within ten days?" Su Wanxia opened the wardrobe and, tilting her head, asked Mu Yingchen, who was leaning against the edge of the bed.

Mu Yingchen looked up from his newspaper and chuckled lightly, "What do you think?"

"Those fifteen days?" Su Wanxia asked skeptically, thinking that ten days should be more than enough to finish the shoot.

But who would have known--

"Fenwick focuses on perfection in his photography. Do you think we can cover so many places in just fifteen days?" Mu Yingchen said with a smile as he looked at her.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but twitch her lips. She chuckled dryly and ventured, "What about twenty days?"

Twenty days! Twenty days must be the limit, right? If they still couldn’t finish in twenty days, she really wanted to know if they were shooting photos or a TV series!

"Hmm, that should be about right... If we hurry, we should be able to return in twenty days..."

"Alright..."

Su Wanxia was speechless; who takes twenty days to shoot wedding photos? Good heavens! Just thinking about it made her nervous. When Kang Xiaolan got married and had her wedding photos taken, the man was fine, but the woman was almost driven crazy by the ordeal. She hoped that this photo shoot trip would be more enjoyable...

After all, with such a handsome god and two adorable Little Tuanzis, it would be best if Fenwick tortured the three of them well, so she could demand fewer shots of herself...

Mu Yingchen looked at her with a slight smile, "Haven’t you finished packing yet? We should rest..."

Su Wanxia broke into a nervous sweat, "No! I haven’t even packed my clothes yet..."

"I’ll help you..." Mu Yingchen said as he sat up from the bed.

"Don’t!" Su Wanxia yelled.

Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow; he was just offering to help her pack, not do anything else. Why was she so agitated?

Su Wanxia, seeing Mu Yingchen’s amused gaze, scratched her head, "I mean, I’ll be done soon. If you’re tired, you can go ahead and rest. You don’t need to wait for me, really..."

Mu Yingchen’s lips curled into a smile, "I’m not tired, I’m worried about tiring you out..." As he said this, he got out of bed, walked over to Su Wanxia, and before she could dodge, he scooped her up in his arms.

"Mu Yingchen! What are you doing?" Su Wanxia exclaimed, becoming agitated.

"Nothing, just going to sleep..."

Su Wanxia was on the brink of tears--

In the end, she couldn’t resist Mu Yingchen’s teasing and surrendered obediently...

The next day, Su Wanxia was sleeping soundly when she was startled awake by the ringing of a phone. She was slow to react and it wasn’t until the ringing stopped and started again that she shot open her eyes and sat up abruptly in bed. Wasn’t that her phone ringing? Who would call this early?

Leaning over the edge of the bed, she grabbed her phone from the bedside table and saw that it was Kang Xiaolan. Su Wanxia grimaced; after getting the number back, she had intended to call them. She had meant to phone them the night before to tell them she and Mu Yingchen were fine, but had forgotten after Mu Yingchen interrupted her. That spicy mama was definitely going to blast her...

She softly pressed the answer button, then shakily brought the phone to her ear. Before she could utter a word, Kang Xiaolan’s angry voice exploded from the other end.

"Su Wanxia! You heartless thing! After disappearing for so long! Couldn’t you take a breath to let your old mother know you’re still alive?"

Hearing Kang Xiaolan’s anxious anger, Su Wanxia chuckled awkwardly, "Well, Xiaolan, it’s like this. I meant to call you yesterday, but, well..."

"Forget it, don’t explain to me. I knew you had come back already. I just wanted to test you, to see when you’d remember us. And look! You’re just a guy who forgets his friends at the sight of beauty!" Kang Xiaolan’s heart was ice cold!
