Chapter 281

C281 – Entering the Room

Shang Cijie was taken aback, struggling to respond. Eventually, he managed, “Apologies, I must have mistaken the door.”

“Nope! This is indeed Father Bastard’s room,” Shang Mingming affirmed, prompting Shang Cijie.

“Bastard father?” “Mu Sifa?”The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He hadn’t anticipated that upon mentioning his father’s status, the visitor would inquire if Shang Mingming was Mu Sifa.

“Sir, who are you?”

Shang Mingming scrutinized the man, unimpressed.

“Big... uncle? Hold on, little mischief-maker, however you see it, I’m clearly your elder brother! My name is Mu Xiaobai, cousin to your bastard father. Do you understand?”

“Cousin? A genuine cousin or just in name?” Shang Mingming inquired, his expression serious.

“Of course, I’m your genuine cousin. Do you believe I’m the one Mu Sifa concealed?”

Initially hesitant, Shang Cijie had nowhere else to go, so he reluctantly ushered Shang Mingming into the room.

“Would you care for a drink? Let me check what’s in the fridge,” Mu Xiaobai offered.

With that, he made his way toward the refrigerator.

“No need, carry on with your tasks,” Shang Cijie declined.

Shang Cijie seemed to regard someone as his own son, remaining unchanged from five years prior in this regard.

“Alright then! I’ll be blow-drying my hair. Feel free to make yourselves at home!” With that, Mu Xiaobai disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Shang Cijie and Shang Mingming in the living room.

Surveying the room, Shang Cijie noted the furnishings bore a striking resemblance to those in his former H City residence.

“Xiaojie, why does it feel like our home in H City?”

Shang Mingming found it perfectly normal, as Shang Cijie had decorated it to resemble their previous abode.

Was it mere happenstance or deliberate intent?
