Chapter 22 Suddenly, for the very first time in his life, Meng Yuran felt jealous of his younger sister! (1)

Delicious smells kept coming from the kitchen, even someone on the second floor could smell it.

At this time of the day, Meng Yuran was doing homework in his room.

Meng Shanshan, who didnt have anything she needed to do, quietly walked to the kitchens doorway. Holding onto the doorframe, she poked her head into the kitchen and watched her mom cook.

At first, Lin Yiyi truly hadnt noticed the presence of this little munchkin. It was only when she turned to get sauce from the refrigerator that she saw Shanshans little head poking out from behind the doorframe.

Why are you just standing there?

Lin Yiyis hands didnt stop moving as she asked the rhetorical question. She opened the bottle of sauce while asking with a smile, Are you standing there to watch mom cooking for you and your brother?

Uh-huh, said Meng Shanshan.

Feeling a bit embarrassed that her mom had caught her peeping so easily, Meng Shanshan blushed. Still, she didnt leave. With both hands clutching the door frame, her head remained in the same spot.

Lin Yiyi turned her head to look at her again. This cute, sweet child, it was easy to like her and feel sympathy for her.

After turning off the fire and putting down the spatula, she gestured at Meng Shanshan for her to come over.

Seeing the little child scurrying over here, Lin Yiyi leaned down to ask, Mom doesnt have enough time to wash the leafy vegetables. Shanshan, do you want to help mom?

Washing leafy vegetables was an easy task, but her tone of voice made it seem like it was a huge responsibility and as if she absolutely needed Meng Shanshans assistance.

Little Meng Shanshan, who thought she was being entrusted with an important responsibility, immediately enthusiastically nodded her head.

Here, lets place this small bowl on the ground. Sit on this small stool here while youre washing the leaves.

After Lin Yiyi had arranged a task for the young child, she watched Shanshan and saw that she was very serious in her assigned task. Shanshan individually washed each leaf with her delicate, little hands by swishing the leaves in the water. Seeing that that Shanshan was occupied, Lin Yiyi turned around and continued cooking.

It was quite amusing to watch a little kid wash leaves.

While cooking, Lin Yiyi turned her head several times to look at Shanshan. In the end, she couldnt resist the temptation. She took out her phone and took a photo.

At this time, Meng Yuran came downstairs to get a drink from the fridge. This was how he ended up catching their mom sneakily taking a photo of Shanshan.

With pork belly being cooked in the pot, the kitchen was overflowing with its fragrant and delicious scent. It really was quite difficult for the little girl that was so close to it. Her head was lowered to diligently work while she tried to hold back her drool

It was clearly an outrageous scene of child labor, and yet, it looked so ridiculously funny.

Meng Yuran clenched his fist and pressed his lips together. Taking a moment to stop himself from laughing, he pretended to nonchalantly head towards the double door refrigerator in the kitchen

At the moment when he opened one of the refrigerators doors, he happened to hear the sound of a photo being taken.

With furrowed brows, the teenager turned his head and saw that his young mother was doing something super pointless. She seemed immeasurably satisfied with herself as she acted like a starry-eyed infatuated fan girl, Aiya, my son is so handsome!

The photo had fully captured the teenagers handsome and elegant face. Because the lighting angle was just right, his face looked ethereal, and his thin cherry lips looked smooth and moist.

He looked like a beautiful teenager that had just stepped out of a manga!

Mom The word mom was said in a very helpless tone.

Lin Yiyi looked at the photo for a long time until she was satisfied. Then, she put the phone back into her pocket.

Okay, okay, I wont secretly take another photo.

She sulkily glared at her stingy son. She even grumbled, Im your mom and you wont even let me take a photo of you

Meng Yuran was truly left speechless by his moms behavior.

In the past, their moms attention was entirely devoted to their dad. Whether he was outside or at home, her eyes only had space for Meng Yan. Back before they had gotten divorced, when Meng Yan was out filming for a movie, she would find all sorts of excuses to visit him. If it was humanly possible, she would have stuffed herself into his suitcase so that he would bring her with him on work trips.

After their mom had been sent to the hospital, it seemed as if their mom had changed into a completely different person. She hadnt said a single word about that man. Instead, she started caring about them.

Could merely losing her memory cause such a big change in her personality in a short period of time?

Right now, his mother seemed so strange

But, he didnt find her dislikable at all.

Perhaps fate had intervened, and this was how their mother should have been like from the beginning.
