In the castle.
The Mo brothers, Eleven, Ye Wei, and the four children sat in a circle around An Xunuo as they listened to Mo Jue talking about Xu Nuo. Eleven and Ye Wei were amazed.
Ye Wei held Xu Nuo’s face and looked left and right before she suddenly smiled gently. “That explains why you look so familiar! So that’s what’s going on. But that said, it’s really a surprise.”
Eleven was baffled. “So even the dead can still be reincarnated?”
“The odds are very small to the point it’s smaller than one in a hundred thousand,” Mo Ye said. Eleven nodded. But it was indeed the case, and the truth was thoroughly baffling.
Ye Wei found it a little difficult to accept the fact that An Xunuo is Xu Nuo, and she was still feeling uneasy about Hailan. Ye Ningyuan was accompanying her third brother and Anya in City A, and Hailan’s fate was hanging in the balance. How could they face Xu Nuo if Hailan had indeed died?
Eleven suddenly recalled a question. “Nuo Nuo, how we address you is quite the confusion. Would you call Ye Wei ‘second auntie’ or ‘second sister-in-law’? Should Wushuang and the kids call you ‘auntie’ or ‘cousin-in-law’?
Everybody was lost for words.
Mo Yeyan scratched his head and smiled. “We should certainly call her in-law. Calling her
‘auntie’ would make her older than us. No can do.”
Ye Wei pouted whereas Xu Nuo quietly sat aside. Eleven noticed that Xu Nuo looked off and asked, “Nuo Nuo, what’s up with you? Are you unhappy?”
Xu Nuo shook her head. She was not unhappy but a little envious of them instead. When she was much younger, she thought the Mo brothers would never have children for life and live a lonely life.
Now that they had happy families, she was utterly envious of them.
Mo Ye gently stroked her head. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
He knew that she was worried about Ye Hailan. As there was no news of her for so many days, chances of her encountering a mishap were much higher. That said, he did not know how to console her. Since she was that younger sister he doted on and thought she had died for many years, her sudden return meant that those lost years were back.
“Nuo Nuo, stay in Rome,” Mo Jue said.
Xu Nuo shook her head and said, “I’ve work to see to and decided to visit my brothers since I happen to be in Rome. I’ll be headed to America after this.”
Ye Wei frowned. “Work? Uh, Nuo Nuo, does Ning Ning know?”
Xu Nuo said, “I hope that you all can keep it from him.”
“Why?”
“He does not need to know,” Xu Nuo plainly said.
Ye Wei coldly laughed. “Xu Nuo, that chap remembered you for a whole thirteen years, not thirteen days. But you tell me now that you don’t want him to know your identity? What’s this mess you’re kicking up? As for Hailan… You can’t recover spilled milk. What you ought to do is to minimize his hurt and not avoid it. What are you doing by running all around the world when you should be by his side?”
Xu Nuo remained silent. The young children of the Mo family stuck out their tongues. Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei and hinted for her to shut up. Ye Wei stared back with a ‘where was I wrong’ look that Mo Jue ignored. “Nuo Nuo, which mission did you accept that happened to put you in Rome? Since I’m free, would you need some help?” Eleven asked.
“Mommy, I want to go too.” Mo Chen raised his hands and Eleven turned him down. The young chap pleaded with Mo Ye, but Mo Ye ignored him. Mo Chen turned his head and showed his frustration.
“I…” Xu Nuo did not know how she could hide it from them. She decided to give it some thought and settled on the thought that they eventually had to come to know it. “I came to Rome to meet my boss and will be headed to America to attend an anti-terrorism conference before heading to the Middle East to settle a few terrorist groups and international mafias.”
Ye Wei, Eleven, and the Mo brothers looked at one another, speechless. “What’s your job?” Ye Wei’s lips twitched.
“I’m the overall team leader of the international anti-terrorist special forces team.”
“I take back what I just said,” Eleven murmured.
Mo Ye looked at her and slightly smiled. His wife was just too adorable. However, this was indeed out of their expectations. They had assumed that the Sophie Vasi incident was merely Xu Nuo exacting revenge. They had not expected Xu Nuo to have that particular identity.
“Cousin-in-law, would you oppose our family?” Mo Chen asked.
Xu Nuo was taken aback. “There are only two in the family who are terrorists,” Mo Yao said.
Mo Yeyan raised his hands. “Does family count?”
“No!” Mo Wushuang replied with certainty.
Mo Chen understood.
Ye Wei and Eleven looked at the four children gently, and the children were so afraid that they hid behind their fathers. Eleven was not terrifying when she was gentle. It was Ye Wei who was the most terrifying when she was gentle.
Ye Wei suddenly clapped. “Oh yes! It’s time for Commander to retire!”
“Wei Wei!” Eleven coughed. Surely she didn’t have to react this quickly, no?
Ye Wei was wondering. Given Xu Nuo’s identity, would Ning Ning act even more brazenly?
Since Commander and his wife… One helmed the top seat of the anti-terrorist group whereas the other helmed the third-highest seat. If they took out the man in the second seat, they would be able to gain control of the other party. Being in cahoots never seemed… so easy!
But Hailan…
“How did the Mafia give rise to an elite counter-terrorist fighter?”
“She is of her own and not under the Mafia.”
Eleven was lost for words.
Mo Yeyan scooted up to Mo Chen and softly said, “Cousin-in-law is so strict.”
The two little heads scooted together as they murmured in hushed tones. “Looks like my old man,” Mo Chen said in return.
Mo Yeyan nodded. Mo Yao reached his little hands over and pulled Mo Yeyan away. “Please speak properly,” he coldly said.
Mo Yeyan was afraid of his elder brother since young. He shuddered and deftly went to the other side around Mo Chen before sticking out his head to say, “I was already talking normally.”
Mo Yao squinted and Mo Yeyan turtled. Mo Chen coughed with tears on his face. He was afraid of his elder brother too…’Little Yan, how could you implicate me so carelessly? Stop hugging me…’
Mo Wushuang laughed coolly and jabbed Mo Yeyan with her small feet. “What are you doing?”
“Gathering warmth.” As his elder brother had an immensely cold presence, he wanted to hug his younger brother and draw warmth from him.
Mo Wushuang rolled her eyes. “You’ll feel even colder.”
Mo Yao’s gaze was cold, and he looked gently at him.
Tears pooled in Mo Yeyan’s eyes…
Eleven looked at Ye Wei, who had a twisted look and was staring at Mo Yeyan as though she expected much more from him. The Mo brothers turned away, and Mo Yeyan felt as though he was attacked on three fronts and tears almost rolled down his face…
Ye Wei seriously pondered. When they had children, said child, given her temper and Mo Jue’s temper, would either be a ruffian or some young cute boy. If they had a girl, she would either be a young cute girl or a queen. Wushuang met the expectations and behaved queen-like. But why was Little Yan neither a young cute boy nor a ruffian?
One family, four children. A queen, a king, and two idiots…
This was a very serious question…
Education had failed them.
The young chap on the other side must have been the cause.
