Chapter 163: One-Time Affair

As Mother Yue followed Mu Chenyan out of the car, she held her hand to get her attention as she told her through hand signs, 'Next time, keep me out of your shenanigans!'

"What do you mean by shenanigans?" retorted Mu Chenyan with a touch of hurt in her voice. "I only took you out to have fun."

Mother Yue looked at Mu Chenyan's appearance and closed her eyes before taking a deep breath. 'You might not love your life but I do.'

"I also love my life," replied Mu Chenyan. "Just keep quiet. If you won't say anything we won't get into trouble at all. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut."

'My mouth is already shut,' was Mother Yue's response. 'And even if I want to say anything, I can't.'

Mu Chenyan frowned at Mother Yue with a displeased look in her eyes, "How many times I have to remind you to never talk about yourself like this? I don't find you any different than other people."

Mother Yue bit her lip, 'I was just joking.'

"Don't joke around with me like this," warned Mu Chenyan. "You might be comfortable to joke around like this, I become uneasy when you speak like this."

Mother Yue patted her shoulder before telling her, 'Don't get too emotional. Let's just go inside now.' She paused for a while before she added, 'I'm telling you, this hobby of yours is dangerous. Don't overindulge in it.'

"Danger is the new fun, darling!" said Mu Chenyan as she pulled Mother Yue against her side.

'Why do I feel like you're acting like a mother who has finally decided to let loose after marrying off her daughter?'

Mu Chenyan laughed out at her, 'I also feel that way.'

Mu Chenyan nodded her head and entered the house. Learning from the maids that everyone was having dinner in the back garden, both of these ladies also went to the back garden. They could instantly hear the chatter and laughter along with the smell of delicious meat skewers.

"Elle!" Mu Chenyan instantly called out as soon as she found her favorite person in the crowd.

Raelle also turned her head when she heard someone calling her and paused for a whole minute. Her eyes were carefully looking at Mu Chenyan's figure from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. And her sudden silence was justified since everyone else also forgot to eat, laugh or talk when they gazed at Mu Chenyan.

And the reason behind their baffled looks was Mu Chenyan's appearance. She was wearing a bright-colored pantsuit and her face was painted with excessive makeup. Even her long hair couldn't be seen as she had been wearing a wig. She looked no different than a man right now.

Soon, Raelle looked behind her and paused again. Because if Mu Chenyan was giving off the air of an unrestrained young man then Mother Yue looked like an innocent beauty. She didn't know know what kind of appearance it was but it made Mother Yue seem completely unlike herself. She had bangs, she wore gray-colored lenses, her face was also a masterpiece of makeup artistry since all her original features were perfectly concealed in this way.

Hyson choked on the kebab he had yet to swallow and drank a whole glass of water to allow that kebab to go down his throat. He looked at these two ladies and then looked at Grandfather Xiang. "When you said they are up to an interesting hobby, you meant cosplaying?"

Grandfather Xiang nodded his head and Hyson fell back on his chair. He almost couldn't recognize his own mother just now.

"Cosplaying?" inquired Raelle as she also looked at these two ladies.

Mu Chenyan grinned at her favorite person saying, "I recently learned that it's a really interesting thing. So, today, I dragged our Yue to a cosplay party with me. Yue made our outfits and even did our makeup. Too good, right?"

Raelle stared into Mother Yue's eyes, "You agreed with her?"

Mother Yue could only shrug her shoulders and her expressions changed when she finally noticed the rest of the people in the pavilion. For a moment, she couldn't hide her feelings. But it was a good thing that her skills were too good. Right now, even her own son had a difficult time recognizing her, it was not possible for others to find her familiar.

"As always, Chenyan still has the most eccentric ideas to enjoy life," said Grandmother Zhai with a smile on her face. She was also dumbfounded for a while but she was familiar with Mu Chenyan's eccentricity. So, she quickly adjusted her mood accordingly.

"Aunt Zhai," called Mu Chenyan. "It's so good to see you here." She grinned at her as she went on, "Elder Xiang says, life is a one-time affair. One should enjoy it to the fullest."

"But is this your age to act like this?" Grandfather Zhai chimed in.

Mu Chenyan lovingly caressed Raelle's face as she said, "My Elle says, age is not a barrier. If I want to enjoy my life, I should stop letting people tell me how to do it. It's my happiness, not theirs. And only I know what makes me happy."

"Then are you happy?" inquired Raelle.

Mu Chenyan gave her a resolute and content look, "I'm very happy."

Raelle went back to sit down with her husband, "Then it's okay. You can do whatever you want if you're happy."

Hyson finally found his spirit as he dragged his mother close and made her sit beside him saying, "Mum, how can you let her do this to you?"

Mother Yue knitted her brows at her son, 'I don't good?'

Hyson almost rolled his eyes at his mother but didn't dare to be disrespectful to her, "How is that possible? My mum was always the best, still is, and always will be the best." Then he had a conflicted look in his eyes as he gazed at his mother and went on, "But if you look like this, who would believe that you're my mother? You're looking more like me younger sister!"

Mother Yue silently chuckled at what her son was actually worried about. She forgot all about her anxiousness as she facepalmed herself.
