If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

Xia Wanyan justifiably explains in front of the media that the woman in the video is not her, but her twin sister.

But in front of Li Qiaosheng, she knows that it is a trap he has carefully set for her so she has no choice but to explain why she excuses herself in this way to the reporters with her head down.

However, in the man’s eyes, whatever she says is just in vain because he has viewed her as a better liar, who can even make up the story about a twin sister! In that sense, he is beaten by her.

When Mu Ziyou sees the press conference held by Xia Wanyan, she is also slightly preoccupied.

Qin Yang just comes out of the bedroom after putting the baby to bed. Seeing her in such a state, he mistakenly thinking Mu Ziyou is still thinking of Xia Wanyan’s killing her mother. He comes forward and comforts her, “Xiaoyou, fire cannot be wrapped up in paper. Those who do vicious things will surely get due comeuppance in the end.”

“Yeah, I know. I just heard her making up the twin story. I also remember my mom once mentioned to me that I had a younger twin sister, too.”

“Really?” This is the first time that Qin Yang has heard about this kind of thing from Mu Ziyou.

In Japan, Mu Ziyou’s mother later married a Japanese man and Qin Yang is the son of this man’s brother. He thought he would have one more cousin, but later it turned out that they had no blood relationship because Mu Ziyou’s mother was already pregnant before she married his uncle.

Mu Ziyou recalls a lot of things and continues to tell Qin Yang, “In fact, my mother was pregnant with a pair of twin girls. Unfortunately, the younger one was born dead. Otherwise, I’d have a twin sister who looks like me.”

Seeing her emotions get down again from yearning, Qin Yang could not help but embrace her into his arms and gently comforts her, “Although Aunt has left this world, you still have me and Pudding, don’t you? You’re not alone. If you are willing, I can…”

Thinking of Pudding, the newborn baby, Mu Ziyou naturally thinks of Li Qiaosheng. Yes, he is the father of the baby, who survived the operation just as tenaciously as she did!

Therefore, she firmly interrupts what Qin Yang wants to say, “No, Brother Qin Yang, you are my brother. You will eventually marry a girl who definitely can’t be me. As for me, I’ve already got little Pudding. Don’t worry. I will live on happily for him.”

“Well, that will be good.”

Seeing that she still refuses to accept him, Qin Yang can just give up.

At least for now, it’s nice that they can still live together as a family of three.

When Li Qiaosheng finally finds out Mu Ziyou’s residence and excitedly drives to the gate of the community, he happens to run into such a scene:

She and Qin Yang are walking slowly with a pram. The baby in the pram seems to have fallen asleep and has not heard why the grown-ups are laughing so happily…

In Li Qiaosheng’s memory, he seems to have not seen Mu Ziyou smiling so brightly for a long time, but the man called Qin Yang easily appreciates her radiant smile. He feels rather hurt. And what makes him even unable to stay calm is the baby.

Have they already got married and had their baby within the last half a year when they haven’t seen each other?

Oh, no wonder she forced him to sign the divorce contract! It was just because of him!

The moment the man turns the steering wheel and is about to leave, Qin Yang first spots him and calls to him. Then, following Qin Yang’s eyes, Mu Ziyou also notices Li Qiaosheng.

“Come on, Pudding, call Uncle.” Qin Yang deliberately picks up the baby who just wakes up and puts extra stress on the word “Uncle”.

Li Qiaosheng secretly balls his fist, but he is finally defeated by the lovely baby and can’t help stretching out his hand to tease the baby while asking Mu Ziyou unwillingly, “Is this your baby?”

“Yeah!” She admits without hesitation.

After all, she wouldn’t forget how the man suspected that this baby wasn’t his, and tried to make her have the abortion!

The man’s heart is desperately hurt at that moment, which finally turns into a bitter smile only. He then reminds her, “Since you are still alive, don’t forget that we are still husband and wife by law. Come back. As long as he is your baby, I can treat him as my own.”
