Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“Actually, I’ve known about this for a long time!” Cen Mo’s voice was low, not as intimidating as it usually was.

Cen Mo wasn’t a fool. Back then, when he was brought to the foreign Lu family at a tender age, he noticed that unlike his artistic parents and younger sister, he had a severe lack of talent in music!

Even though Old Master Lu had hired the best teachers, even if it was piano… Cen Mo couldn’t master it no matter what. Even the teacher said that Cen Mo had no aptitude for music!

Just based on the fact that Cen Mo wasn’t as musically inclined as the Lu family members, it was enough to arouse suspicions in Cen Mo about his parentage.

Grandpa Lu had attained the acme of perfection in piano, and in his younger days, he had fallen for Grandma Lu because her cello skills were second to none.

Mama Lu was excellent with the violin, whilst Papa Lu was skilled with the flute and violin. Lu Xiangsi chose to learn piano and was outstanding at the craft, even at a young age.

Hence, Cen Mo had this doubt since young, feeling he might not be a biological child of the Lu family.

With this doubt in mind, when Cen Mo stayed with the Lus, other than obeying his grandfather’s guidance in learning the ways of the business world, he spent his free time analyzing how he was different from the other Lu family members.

Hence, Cen Mo had actually known early on…

But how to put it? He was brought back to live with the Lus, and the couple died early. However, during the time they interacted, while Cen Mo could feel that they sometimes felt distant, perhaps because he wasn’t their biological child, they did care for him in terms of his day-to-day living as if he was their blood!

That was especially so with his grandpa, who loved him with everything he had. And there was his grandma, who lavished every care upon him.

And also, Lu Xiangsi…

It was that little girl who brought gentleness and light to Cen Mo’s heart. It was precisely that light and gentleness that served as a guiding light to him during his darkest times, helping Cen Mo get through the hardship.

Song Yao stared at Cen Mo without looking away. Seeing the sadness and gentleness in Cen Mo’s eyes, she hugged him tighter with her slender arms. “You really knew about it early on?”

Cen Mo nodded. “It was just that before I saw Mom’s diary and the paternity test result, I wasn’t so certain…”

“Then you… have you thought of looking for your biological family?” Song Yao asked Cen Mo.

Cen Mo hadn’t thought of this before, because he had subconsciously regarded the Lus as his real kin. To him, the Lus were his real kin, even though he had a vague feeling they weren’t.

But now…

Cen Mo felt that he had lost interest. After all, so what if he found them?

It would be fine if he discovered that they had been searching for him all these years, but what if they never bothered?

Or what if they had deliberately abandoned him?

Cen Mo wasn’t sure he could restrain himself from harming his blood-related kin if that were the case…

Hence, Cen Mo would rather not investigate.

Lest the outcome upset him, lest it made him go mad.

Cen Mo raised a hand and gently stroked the top of Song Yao’s head. “You and the baby are my kin. Why should I still look?”

Song Yao had been living with Cen Mo for some time now, so she could see through his intentions. She rubbed her head against Cen Mo’s chest, her eyes moist. “Right! The baby and I are your kin! We’ll never leave you!”

Cen Mo hugged the little woman in his arms tightly. Suddenly, he heard her say in a muffled voice into his chest, “No! Will still leave!”

Cen Mo lowered his head, a chilly look in his eyes.

Song Yao felt pain from Cen Mo’s grip on her shoulders. She frowned and sighed. “After the child grows up, he’ll meet his lover and live with his lover. When that happens, he won’t be living with us old fellows! In this lifetime, only the two of us will be with each other forever. Alright… if it’s a baby girl, let’s cherish her as the apple of our eye and dote upon her. Girls are meant to be spoiled. If it’s a baby boy… let him be a wild fellow! So long as we love each other devotedly!”

Cen Mo couldn’t resist laughing lightly. Although what she said sounded childish, there was truth to it…

After kids grew up, they would leave, and only his partner would be with him forever.

Cen Mo gazed into Song Yao’s eyes and asked, “Other than this, what else are you hiding from me?”

Song Yao immediately shook her head. She raised her fingers and pledged her allegiance. “Nothing! Absolutely nothing! If I’m hiding other things from you, may I be struck by lightning!”

“Hong long long—”

The skies suddenly rumbled with the sound of thunder.

Song Yao was rendered speechless.

Were the heavens toying with her? She truly wasn’t hiding anything from Cen Mo now!

“Believe me!” Song Yao grasped Cen Mo’s shirt and said, “What I said was true. The… the heavens have a vengeance against me and are playing a trick on me!”

“Mm!” Cen Mo nodded. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Song Yao’s forehead. “I trust you and not the heavens!”

Those words made Song Yao’s eyes watery in an instant.

“Mm! I believe in you and not the heavens too!” Song Yao then asked, “Then, are you willing to trust in me from now on? Will you still find some excuse to work and not return to the bedroom? You’ll be hugging me to sleep, right? Without your hug… I wake up in the night feeling cold!”

Song Yao sounded aggrieved, like a kitten, wheedling to Cen Mo in his arms.

Cen Mo narrowed his eyes and whispered by Song Yao’s ear, “Bear with it… It’ll all be good once the three months are over!”

Understanding the meaning behind Cen Mo’s words, Song Yao glared at Cen Mo and punched him on his chest. “What nonsense are you spewing? I don’t mean that!”

…

After getting home, Lin Nuan took a shower distractedly, then sat down before her dressing table and went about her skincare routine. After applying moisturizer, she pulled out the drawer and took out the photo of the letter her mother left her, reading it repeatedly.

Lin Nuan knew that Ji Yun’s greatest regret in this lifetime was failing to find her son!

She went crazy because of this, crazy for a lifetime!

This was why she viewed Lin Ran as more important than anything!

Lin Nuan frowned. If she went to Cen Mo recklessly and told him that he could be her long-lost older brother and suggested they go for a DNA test, it would be a wonder if Cen Mo didn’t look at her like she was crazy!

But if Cen Mo truly was, she would be able to fulfill Ji Yun’s wish.

Even if she wasn’t able to find her son while she was alive, it would be good if she could find him after she passed on!

Although Ji Yun was sober for such a short time and spent little time interacting with Lin Nuan in a real sense, she was Lin Nuan’s mother. Lin Nuan had to think of a way to fulfill her unfulfilled wishes.

She knew that Fu Huai’an had been helping her look for her older brother, but because so many years had elapsed and many documents from back then had been lost, they hadn’t a clue as to where to start looking.

Hearing the door open, Lin Nuan turned around and looked in Fu Huai’an’s direction.

Fu Huai’an had just come back after a busy day at work. Seeing Lin Nuan looking at the photo of his mother’s letter, he tugged at his tie and asked, “Missing your mother?”
