The two kids’ cute, clueless expressions caught Nan Zhiyi’s eye, and she couldn’t help but think how absolutely adorable her little treasures were! She crouched down to pinch their chubby cheeks affectionately.
“But dressed like this, you really are too cute. When your godmother sees you, she’s definitely going to be smitten!”
She could already imagine how excited Sheng Shiyu would be when she met these two.
“Alright, let’s go—don’t keep Auntie Annie waiting,” she said, reaching out to hold their hands.
But the little girl shyly hid behind the boy.
The boy looked back with some hesitation and asked, “Auntie, are you sure you have the right people?”
Nan Zhiyi was taken aback.
Then she laughed, “Mistaken? You two are the babies I carried for ten months! How could I mistake you? You little rascal, calling me ‘Auntie’ — did Mumu get you watching some drama again and get you playing pretend?”
Mumu loved role-playing the most!
Nan Zhiyi played along gently, coaxing them, “Okay, it’s fine to play at home, and Mom can play with you there. But we just got back to the country, and there’s a lot to do, so no more playing, alright? Let’s go with Mommy…”
She reached for their hands again.
But the boy grew even more suspicious.
Nan Zhiyi chuckled—did they get hooked on the act?
“Is this the amnesia act now? Fine, then Mommy will prove it!”
She pulled out her phone and opened the photo album.
“See? Here are all your pictures from when you were little!”
The boy stared at the phone, completely stunned.
He was sure he didn’t recognize this beautiful lady.
But the photos on her phone? They were of two kids who looked exactly like them!
What was going on?
Just then, Lu Jingyu put the phone away and said, “Can we go now?”
Without waiting for a response, she scooped up one kid in each arm and headed off.
She didn’t notice the subtle oddness in the children.
The boy’s eyes flickered uncertainly.
He had wanted to resist, but the pictures and the inexplicable feeling of familiarity toward this lady made him hesitate.
He needed to figure this out.
He tried to calm his sister.
She was shy around strangers and wouldn’t let anyone but him, their grandparents, or Daddy touch her.
But surprisingly, she wasn’t afraid—she stared at the lady in front of her with curiosity.
At the airport, Annie was waiting with the two kids for Nan Zhiyi to return.
After a while, she still hadn’t appeared.
Xianxian suggested to his sister, “Maybe we should go look for Mommy. She probably got lost again.”
Nan Zhiyi’s sense of direction wasn’t great; she’d gotten lost at the airport more than once.
Annie agreed, “I’ll come with you.”
But Xianxian refused, “No, Auntie Annie, you stay here with the luggage. There’s a lot to carry, it’s easier if we go. Don’t worry, we won’t get lost!”
Annie hesitated, then trusted the kids’ intelligence and said, “Alright, but keep in touch!”
The two kids gave her an “OK” sign, held hands, and ran off.
They had only been gone a moment when Nan Zhiyi came back, carrying both kids.
Annie was surprised, “You’re back already? Didn’t you just leave?”
And in the blink of an eye, the kids had changed clothes!
Annie was confused and about to ask when Nan Zhiyi’s phone rang.
It was Sheng Shiyu.
Quickly putting the kids down, Nan Zhiyi answered.
Sheng Shiyu’s cheerful voice came through, “Zhizhi, have you arrived? I’m at the parking lot—you’ll see me as soon as you come out.”
“We’re on our way!” Nan Zhiyi replied, juggling the kids’ hands and luggage.
Annie forgot to ask anything more and pushed the suitcase out with Nan Zhiyi.
Not far away, the real Junxian and Junmu watched them leave, wide-eyed.
Junmu blinked in disbelief, “Brother, did you see that? The two people Mommy was holding look exactly like us!”
Xianxian nodded, coming out of his shock.
Junmu asked, puzzled, “What’s going on? Could we be having an out-of-body experience?”
“Stop watching all those silly supernatural dramas,” Xianxian said, patting her head.
Then he thought deeply, “I don’t know what’s happening, but maybe… those two are our siblings? Biological siblings! That’s the only way Mommy could mistake them.”
“But how? Mommy said the other two died,” Junmu scratched her head, confused.
That was what puzzled Xianxian, too.
Mommy had two boys and then two girls.
He was the oldest, and Junmu was the youngest.
The second and third had died.
But now, those “lost” siblings appeared in the country.
Something was definitely wrong!
Xianxian’s sharp mind was already working.
He suspected those missing siblings were taken back to the country by someone—someone Mommy didn’t know about.
And that someone might be that scummy Daddy who abandoned Mommy!
Just as he thought this, a group of bodyguards in black suits appeared behind the two kids, surrounding them.
The young man in charge looked anxious, “Oh, the little master and little miss, you made us work hard to find you!”
He was panting but kept watching the two kids carefully.
After confirming they weren’t hurt, he muttered, “I was wondering why we couldn’t find you—turns out you changed clothes! Come on, let’s go back; Grandpa’s pretty mad.”
Without waiting for a response, he bent down and scooped them up.
Junmu was startled but didn’t struggle.
She recognized the man holding them—Zhou Yi, Emperor Shi Jing’s personal assistant!
Xianxian was calmer and even squinted slightly.
Looks like his guess was right after all!
Those siblings had something to do with that lousy Daddy!
Before returning to the country, he had planned to get close to Emperor Shi Jing to teach him a lesson.
Now, that step was saved!
Xianxian gave his sister a meaningful look.
The little girl immediately understood her brother’s plan and kept their true identities hidden.
Soon, the two kids were escorted by Zhou Yi and the bodyguards to the airport VIP lounge.
As soon as they entered, the siblings felt a thick, oppressive atmosphere.
The source was the man standing deepest inside—
Emperor Shi Jing!
