1782: On-going Happiness (2)

On-going Happiness (2)

Yun Shishi was gazing at the sprawling beach through the window at that moment.1

The white sands, hovering seagulls, and waves gently hitting the shore all made up such a breathtaking scenery.

The morning sea breeze did not make her feel cold at all.

Youyou waved his hands in front of his twin's face. "Hey! Bro, have you gone silly?"

The older boy smacked away the other's hands, which were blocking his vision, and excitedly ran toward the woman, hugging her from behind. "Mommy!"

Jolted back to reality, she turned slightly and placed her hand lightly on his shoulder as she smiled at him. "Son, you're awake!"

"Yup!"

Little Yichen nodded fervently as he gushed, "Mommy's really beautiful like a fairy today! Can you wear beautiful dresses like this in the future, too, please?"

His innocent and naïve remarks amused her. With an arch of her brow, she crouched to his eye level. She then laughed. "How can I wear gowns like this daily?"

Her younger son approached them, sighing in helplessness. "This lad fell into a trance the moment he saw you from the doorway earlier! Still, mommy, you do look good in this dress."

He could not resist adding a sarcastic comment. "It's probably because you don't usually care about looking good in a dress, so when you finally do dress up, you look as beautiful as a fairy."

This difference in her appearance was why his brother went trance-like!

Not knowing whether she should be laughing or crying at that comment, she feigned a wounded look. "This younger son of mine, must you speak to mommy so sarcastically?"

Positively beaming, the older boy chipped in, "Lil' bro has such a vicious mouth. Mommy, punish him!"

The younger sibling coolly shot him a glare before he flicked him on the forehead. "You're the one who needs to be taught a lesson!"

Feeling aggrieved, the older twin covered his hurt head and stared at the other with a piteous and glum look.

Their mother immediately came to the rescue. "Youyou, you mustn't bully your older brother!"

"Mommy, he's the one bullying me!" He, too, pulled an aggrieved look at her.

Being a long-standing veteran at acting innocent, he could easily pull off a pitiful appearance. The woman could not bear to admonish him after seeing his look.

Feeling wronged, the other boy retorted, "When have I bullied you?! You're clearly the one who's always bullying me!"

"You still have the cheek to say so? You slept like a brat last night, either kicking your blanket off or hugging me like a koala. I couldn't get a good night's rest because of you, and I almost got paralyzed from you pressing on top of me."

Mu Yichen's guilt immediately crept up his face when he heard that.

"That's enough! Don't squabble anymore, alright?"

He nodded in agreement. "Okay! Today is mommy's engagement, so this older son of yours will be a good boy!"

The younger one ignored his twin's obedient act and approached his mother who was squatting at his eye level.

"Mommy… "

He stared at her blooming face with a regretful look. His eyes swept past every inch of her face before they finally landed on a crooked strap on her shoulder. His brows arched at that, but he gently smiled and reached out to adjust it carefully for her.

The sight of his drooping, long lashes and the soft look in his eyes had her heart nearly instantly melting into mush.

"Mommy, you're already twenty-four; why are you still so careless? The strap on your shoulder is crooked. You won't look beautiful like that."

A delicate arch appeared on his rosy lips as he earnestly adjusted the strap for her.
