Chapter 392 - And What Was Your Wish?
"I had mixed feelings when I saw my mum amid that crowd. I was stunned and also very happy. My joy knew no bounds when the others also arrived. 'So, my impossible wish did come true'. That was the thought going through my mind when I saw everyone I have grown to love so much. I never knew that you were there too. I was dumbfounded when you climbed on stage and gave me flowers. Chen, I never knew that wishes would come true until that moment," Yang Mi said, sounding like an adult she has always claimed to be.
"I am glad that your wish came true," Chen said as he patted her hair.
"Well, in the past I also had a wish. Back then my brother was always sad after the incident when he watched our parents and butler die in a fatal accident. He was never the same again after that incident. In the process of easing his pain, he did so many things both right and wrong. He continued living that lifestyle until he became an adult. After seeing how he was trying so hard to hide his pains from the world, I had made a wish...," Chen paused as he stared at the girl who was staring keenly at him. Although he was way older than Yang Mi, he had come to really enjoy her company. He had long come to love her just like he would love his younger sister.
"And what was your wish?" Yang Mi asked in a soft tone.
"I had hoped that Big bro would find true happiness. May the ones who will bring him true happiness and love come soon,"
"That was my wish. And not long after I made that wish, Sister Zi Er came into his life. Fortunately for Big bro, she did not come alone. She brought with her a little naughty baby and a mother who loved him so much. These three people filled his once void life with so much happiness, laughter and love. Unfortunately for him, these good things did not last for a long time despite that we all wanted them to last forever. His world became even more miserable than it was in the past after they left," Chen concluded in a sad tone.
"Same with my mum. She finally learned how to laugh genuinely after Brother Feng came into her life but that genuine laughter ceased from her face the day he ceased to exist in her life," Yang Mi relayed sadly. Her eyes became misty after she finished talking.
"Mi Er don't cry or you will make me even sad," Li Chen said as he quickly cleaned the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
"If you are unhappy about how they are now, we can help them get back together. I believe that they still love each other very much...,"
"Chen Chen, I do want them to get back together more than you do but I am scared. I am scared of seeing my mum in more pain if anything goes wrong. I will never be able to forgive myself if I end up being the cause of my mum's unhappiness," Yang My said as her tears continued to fall.
"Mi Er, stop crying. You are not supposed to shed tears today. I believe that if my Big bro and Sister Zi Er were destined to be together, they would definitely reconcile whether or not we help them," Li Chen said as he hugged her. He only pulled out of her embrace when he was certain that she had stopped crying.
"Now that I am a hundred per cent sure that wishes do come true, my greatest wish is that Brother Feng and mum will reconcile. He is her greatest source of happiness so I am sure that as long as Brother Feng is in her life once again, she will definitely be happy," Yang Mi said, forcing a smile.
"You are right about that," Li Chen said, responding to her smile. He decided to change the discussion to a livelier one.
"It has been just two years since I haven't seen you and you have grown a lot taller. You have even become pretty," Chen said in a teasing tone. Yang Mi immediately frowned when she heard his remark.
"What do you mean by I have become pretty? I have always been pretty, don't you know that? Your friends always complimented me in the past that I look like a little goddess. That is to show how beautiful I am," Yang Mi said proudly as she flipped her long black hair backwards. Li Chen could not resist smiling when he saw her haughty attitude.
"Yeah, I can recall how beet red you were when Feying complimented your looks. You kept smiling at him uncontrollably throughout that day like a lovestruck fool," Li Chen said before he burst out in a pale of deafening laughter.
"You...," Yang Mi was too speechless to scold the naughty guy.
"Chen Chen, how could you tease your little sister in such a cruel manner? As the elder brother, don't you feel any shame?" Yang Mi said, faking a displeased expression.
"Why should I feel ashamed when you never relented in teasing me in the past?" The smiling Li Chen said as he stood up on the couch.
"Don't worry, I will relay your feelings to Feying. Although I am sure that he will not be interested in an unripe fruit like you. He is quite popular. All the university ladies flock around him all day long. I am sure he won't...,"
"Come here Chen Chen, you need some spanking," Yang Mi said, as she stood up on the couch and tried to grab Li Chen but Chen jumped down from the couch before she could hold him.
"Catch me if you can," Li Chen shouted as he run around the room. Yang Mi pursued him while throwing the small couch pillows at him. As they played, their laughter filled the entire room.
While they were busy playing, Yang Mi did not know that Yang Zi was searching for her. After they had played to their satisfaction, Li Chen decided to escort Yang Mi back to their rooms. The moment they stepped out of the room, their gaze both landed on Yang Zi who was passing by. Yang Mi holding onto Li Chen's hand trembled the moment her gaze landed on Yang Zi. She abruptly pulled her hand away from his grip.
