C6 Who Was This Boy?

Shen Ziang looked in the direction Ye Nanxuan had left. Her heart froze for a second.

"Why would a boy like you care if grown up men are handsome or not? We're leaving."​

Shen Mannge bent down and picked up Shen Ziang in her arms.

Seeing that Shen Mannge was obviously unwilling to talk to him, a trace of hurt flashed in Shen Ziang's eyes.

He put his arm around Shen Mannge's neck and said mischievously, "I'm looking for a man for Mommy."

"You little brat, mind your own business. You're a kid, don't bother about adult stuff. This time, I will ask your Auntie Lan to get you admitted to kindergarten. I wiil feel a bit more at ease with her watching over you."

Shen Mannge carried Shen Ziang and walked outside with slightly shaky legs.

Why did Shen Ziang think Ye Nanxuan was handsome?

Anyone who saw them would think that the father and son pair looked very similar to each other. It worried her that Shen Ziang had seen Ye Nanxuan already.

This was her son, the son she gave birth to by risking her life. He should have nothing to do with Ye Nanxuan!

She would never allow Ye Nanxuan to take her child away from her.

A trace of determination entered Shen Mannge's eyes. She did not see Shen Ziang's worried and pained eyes.

Although he was young, he knew when his mother woke up from nightmares in the middle of the night. He didn't know what Ye Nanxuan had done to his mother back then. But since she never told him, he pretended he did not want to know. However, he already had a plan on how to get justice for his mother.

The mother and son duo walked out of the airport with different thoughts in their heads.

Shen Mannge hailed a taxi and went to Lan Lingyu's residence with Shen Ziang.

Even five years later, Lan Lingyu's residence had not changed. Her keys also stayed hidden in the same place.

Shen Mannge fished out the key and opened the door, looking like she had done this many times. She walked in with Shen Ziang.

It was a three-bedroom apartment. The house was not very big, but the layout was warm and cozy.

Shen Ziang gave his mother a quick glance and asked her in a low voice, "Mommy, where is your room?"

"Second from the right. I used to live in that room."

Shen Mannge smiled in reminiscence.​

She and Lan Lingyu were good friends. They had been classmates in university. Whenever Shen Mannge was harassed by her stepmother and thrown out, Lan Lingyu took her in. This place was like her second home.

Shen Ziang dragged his luggage and opened Shen Mannge's room. His mother followed.​

There was a picture of a woman on the wall. It was of Shen Mannge when she was young, but Shen Ziang did not recognize the woman. His eyes shifted to her mother, seeing Shen Mannge's present appearance. Shen Mannge's eyes, on the other hand, were slightly red.

It was a face far less beautiful than hers was now, but brimming with happiness and youth. This face had disappeared forever.​

Shen Mannge's hand stretched out to gently caress the picture of her past.

Shen Ziang noticed Shen Mannge's actions and asked her in confusion, "Mommy, who is this person? Is it Auntie Lan?"

"No, this is a picture of your Mommy from before."

Shen Mannge's voice was choked with emotion, but she tried her best to reign it in.

She was always shrouded in sadness, but she never wanted Shen Ziang to find that out. However, Shen Ziang was a sensitive child and could clearly sense Shen Mannge's feelings. He frowned.​

Grabbing Shen Mannge's hand, she said, "Mommy, I'm hungry. Please see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen. Please! Hurry up, I'm starving."

With that, Shen Ziang pushed open the door to let Shen Mannge out.

Shen Mannge's grief didn't stay for long as she heard this.

Shen Ziang did not eat much on the plane. Thinking about this, Shen Mannge resigned herself to do some cooking. She took off her jacket, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "All right, all right, I'll go cook for you. You play by yourself. Don't go into Auntie Lan's room."

"I know, I know."

Shen Ziang pouted and shut the door in Shen Mannge's face.

He looked at Shen Mannge's original photo on the wall, took out his phone, and quickly took a photo. Then, he turned on the computer in the room.

Ye Zichen transferred the photo to the computer and quickly scanned the image for information on her.

There were past news articles talking about the marriage between Shen Mannge and Ye Nanxuan eight years ago. There was also articles on Shen Mannge dying in the flames five years ago after a secret meeting with her lover.

Shen Ziang's eyes darkened.

'Mommy meeting a lover?

How is this possible?!' he thought.​

He always knew that his mother only thought of one man, and that was Ye Nanxuan. Although she didn't say it, Shen Ziang could feel the hatred that she held for him in her heart.​

Ye Nanxuan must have done something terrible to let his mother down like that. Otherwise why would she have nightmares about him?​

Shen Ziang quickly looked up Ye Nanxuan, for any information that he could find on him.

He first heard Ye Nanxuan's name when Shen Mannge was sleep talking in one of her nightmares. Since then, he had searched for information on Ye Nanxuan secretly. He was aware of his father's background, his power, and the state of his marriage.

Shen Ziang clicked on something and found a picture of Ye Nanxuan holding a little boy.

The boy looked to be about the same age as Shen Ziang himself. He looked very similar to Ye Nanxuan. Ye Nanxuan, on the other hand, was looking at the boy with gentle eyes. He clearly doted on the child.

Who was this boy?

Shen Ziang's eyes narrowed.

His eyes scanned the article for information on the boy. Shen Ziang discovered that the boy was the Ye family's eldest grandson, Ye Rui. Presently, he was four years and ten months old. That meant he was older than Shen Ziang by four months!
