Mo Jiang and his family went to the mall. He also brought along Sun Choi.
Little Champ liked to run everywhere as his curiosity to know everything was overwhelming.
Mo Jiang needed someone to look after his son and wife at the same time.
Liu Juan's sense of fashion was unquestionable so she did not need anyone's opinion. Sun Choi followed after her and carried her bags.
On the other hand, Mo Jiang accompanied his son.
In front of an ice cream shop, a big football was made of dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream. It was kept in a separate glass.
Every child looked at it in awe. Little Champ was no different.
"Dad, I want this." Little Champ pointed his tiny finger at the ball.
Mo Jiang finally caught up with his son and held him up in his arms so that the little emperor would not run away.
"Alright, I will get it for you but are you sure you can eat it alone?" Mo Jiang asked.
Hearing his father's question, his innocent eyes looked at the football and then his little bumping tummy.
He repeated this process over and over again a few times.
He wanted to eat it but he was also sure that he could not finish it alone.
Now he was in the biggest dilemma.
Mo Jiang patiently waited for his son to make a decision. He wanted to see what Little Champ's thought process was.
Of course, if Little Champ wanted it, he would buy it but more than half of the ball would be wasted.
Money was not the matter but Mo Jiang did not want his son to develop some kind of bad habit of wasting.
Little Champ looked at other children who were crying and making a fuss with their parents to get them this big football.
He also noticed their bumping tummy and he was more than sure that they would not be able to finish it so why were they crying? In the end, he concluded that these children were just throwing a tantrum.
Can't they be more sensible?
"What happened? Why are the both of you standing here?" Liu Juan came back. She fixed her son's collar and asked.
Sun Choi was behind her with a bunch of shopping bags in his hands. It seemed like Liu Juan was finally done with her shopping.
"I want ice cream." Little Champ said.
"Which one, tell me? I will buy it for you." Liu Juan asked, oblivious to the previous conversation of the father and son pair.
Mo Jiang was silent and waited for Little Champ to continue telling his mother about his demands and dilemma.
"That dark chocolate ice cream." Little Champ pointed at the scoop of ice cream instead of mentioning anything about the football ice cream which was kept near him.
Mo Jiang smiled in satisfaction.
"Alright, I will get it for you. Do you want it too?" She finally glanced at her husband.
"Hmm…"
"Okay, I will get it for you." Liu Juan said but as she turned, she bumped into a woman and the ice cream fell on Liu Juan's dress.
"Careful!" Mo Jiang immediately walked over.
"I-I am so sorry...I did not see you…" The woman used tissue paper to clean Liu Juan's dress.
Initially, Liu Juan's dress wasn't ruined but the woman ruined it in the name of cleaning it.
Liu Juan had an uneasy feeling about this woman so she moved back. "It's alright, I will clean it."
"There is a restroom nearby...I can accompany you if…" The woman offered but Mo Jiang rejected it.
"No! It's alright. You can go."
He also felt suspicious about this woman.
"Come...Let me take you to the restroom." Mo Jiang said.
"What will both of you do in the ladies' restroom? Go. Buy ice cream. I will be back in a minute." Liu Juan said and walked away before Mo Jiang could say anything.
Mo Jiang did not stop and went to buy ice cream but this was an act which he would regret.
Liu Juan walked over to the restroom in a different direction where the woman pointed out.
But it was under the process of cleaning. Sighing, Liu Juan walked to the direction where the woman earlier pointed.
It was a little far away but it was open.
Liu Juan swiftly cleaned her dress.
'Thud."
Suddenly, some movement happened behind her.
Liu Juan jolted at the sudden movement as she heard. "I am sorry...I thought it was empty."
This voice seemed familiar to her. She had heard it before and she knew where.
Liu Juan immediately turned around and her eyes widened.
"Big Sister." Liu Juan burst out.
Liu Ruolan, wearing a uniform of cleaner and holding a mop, was shocked to see Liu Juan.
"Xiao Juan." Emotion burst out through tears in her eyes which she tried to hold back by biting her lips.
"Big Sister." Liu Juan was no different from Liu Ruolan.
It had been so many years since she saw Liu Ruolan. She accepted the fact Liu Ruolan hated her, that was why she decided to let Liu Ruolan go with Bo Xiao while she stayed alone.
It was a different thing that Mo Jiang came into her life and turned her life completely around such that now she loved her life more than anything else.
But who knew that Liu Ruolan would be here like this.
There were many bruises on Liu Ruolan's face. Her hair was tied up disheveled while her clothes…
The pair of twin sisters stood there face to face but the difference was enormous.
One was looking like a queen, while the other was looking nothing less than a beggar.
"Big Sister, how are you and who did this to you?" Liu Juan calmed down her emotions and asked.
She thought that once she let Liu Ruolan go with Bo Xiao, she would be happy but the reality seemed to be different.
Liu Ruolan smiled which made her look more ugly.
Liu Juan's heart ached upon seeing her.
"Big Sister--"
"Juan...Are you here?" Mo Jiang's voice came from outside.
Liu Ruolan jounced at once. "Please...don't tell him about me...He will kill…" Liu Ruolan begged.
"No...Big Sister, he won't. He is my husband." Liu Juan explained as she could not understand why suddenly Liu Ruolan seemed to be so scared of Mo Jiang.
"No-No! I beg you...Don't tell me...Just go!" Liu Ruolan strode towards the door and hid inside a cubicle.
'Thud.'
"Juan…" Mo Jiang walked inside.
Liu Juan turned around and washed her face repeatedly to wash away her tears.
She did not know why Liu Ruolan asked her to not say anything Mo Jiang but she still did as Liu Ruolan said.
"Juan, why did you come so far? I have been looking for you." Mo Jiang sighed with relief seeing his wife. His concerned voice held worry for her.
In fact, he was worried to death, not seeing Liu Juan in that side restroom.
"That-That washroom was under maintenance so I came here…" Liu Juan explained.
"But there is another restroom beside it. Did you not see that?" Mo Jiang asked as he looked around to stare at one cubicle's door. It was closed but no movement was happening there.
Was someone hidden there?
Liu Juan noticed his gaze and immediately pulled him out in fear that Mo Jiang would find Liu Ruolan.
"I didn't. Where is Little Champ? Did you buy ice cream for him?"
"He is in the car with Sun Choi. Come on, let's go. it's getting late." Mo Jiang said. After finding Liu Juan, he did not bother with the other thing.
They came back to Juan's villa but Liu Juan's mind was still so occupied with Liu Ruolan that she did not hear what Little Champ was saying.
Even during dinner, she did not seem to be there mentally. She barely touched the food.
Mo Jiang sensed a difference in her but did not say anything.
After helping Little Champ to sleep, Mo Jiang came back to his room.
Liu Juan was nowhere to be found.
He walked to the bathroom and found her sitting in the tub in a daze.
"Why are you still sitting here? Come out, otherwise, you will get a cold." Mo Jiang's words brought her back to her senses.
Mo Jiang took a towel to wipe around her and brought her out as he asked. "What happened? Did something happen? You seem to have something in your mind. Tell me, what is it?"
