Gazing into Xiao Yuanmu’s indifferent eyes, Sun Jinren widened his own and said, “It’s you! The mastermind behind the malicious acquisition of Jinren Group is you, isn’t it?!”
Sun Jinren raised his voice abruptly. Although his voice wasn’t sharp, it was hoarse and cracked. Therefore, it had managed to make everyone in the dining room turn their heads. 1zaj9I
But, he didn’t care that others were watching him. Scenes flashed through Sun Jinren’s mind. There was Xiao Yuanmu’s first expression of appearing indifferent to the point of looking like he had been ignoring Sun Jinren. There was also Xiao Yuanmu’s unchanging, emotionless expression from when Sun Jinren had been dallying with him. And then, there were also those dark, cold eyes from when Xiao Yuanmu had run out of patience and kicked him away.
Sun Jinren’s mind was a mess. Bewildered, he stared at the calm, seated Xiao Yuanmu. An aura of loftiness was etched into the other’s bones—how could this be a mere orphan?!
When he thought of this, his suspicious gaze swept over Song Xuanhe and the other people at the table. He couldn’t help but wonder if this really had been a coincidence or if the two Song men from the Capital had teamed up with the intention of ruining him. Could it be that they had orchestrated this on purpose, because they had wanted a piece of his company?
Song Xuanhe frowned as he felt Sun Jinren’s gaze fall on him. He exchanged glances with Zhou Nan and then turned to look at Xiao Yuanmu, whose expression hadn’t changed throughout this whole exchange. The idea he had suppressed to the back of his mind once again floated back up. This time, he couldn’t continue to deceive himself. He rescinded the emotion in his eyes and beckoned for the System. 3RT4QN
【System, there’s been something weird going on with Xiao Yuanmu since the car accident. It’s even more suspicious that he’s suddenly gone back to how he had been prior to the accident. What’s going on with him?】Song Xuanhe’s voice was calm, but it contained a trace of nervousness that he didn’t even notice himself.
The System had naturally been watching what had been happening. However, it really hadn’t detected anything：【After Xiao Yuanmu’s car accident, I had detected a fluctuation in his soul. However, when I had investigated it later, I hadn’t been able to find anything. It was only recently that I’ve been able to see that there is indeed something fishy upon analyzing his emotions ratio.】
Song Xuanhe furrowed his brows slightly. Although he didn’t know what an ‘emotions ratio’ was, he didn’t ask about it. He just said：【And?】
【I discovered that the emotions ratio of Xiao Yuanmu prior to his car accident had been very unstable, especially when he had been in front of you. It would frequently fluctuate. After analyzing it, I realized that this meant that he had probably “liked” you as you humans call it. But after his accident, Xiao Yuanmu’s emotions ratio has almost never changed. Even if there have been any fluctuations, it has only changed in negligible amounts….】 02JNuW
Song Xuanhe’s pupils constricted slightly. Actually, with what the System had just said, he was already able to confirm his conjecture. To be honest, he had already sensed Xiao Yuanmu’s change since a long time ago. This had been precisely why he had never gone back to live with Xiao Yuanmu even though the atmosphere within the Song Residence was so murky.
It was just that, putting aside his unwillingness to accept this, there was still something that didn’t make sense to him.
He was certain that, although the Xiao Yuanmu in front of him now wasn’t the same as before, he was still the original Xiao Yuanmu. It wasn’t like he was possessed by another soul. First of all, it would have been impossible for the System to miss that. Secondly, there was no way anyone else could so perfectly mimic someone else’s every preference and habits.
Since he had started to live under the same roof as Xiao Yuanmu, Song Xiao Shaoye
Song Xuanhe looked up, incredulous. She had just been making a show of strength, so why was she talking about children now?!
“I don’t mind.” Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Song Xuanhe’s expression through his peripheral vision. A sliver of amusement flashed through his eyes. He added, “As long as he’s happy.” JvTBx9
Song Xuanhe’s expression grew stiff. He wanted to turn to look at Xiao Yuanmu’s expression and see what he was playing at. However, he knew that even if he looked, he wouldn’t be able to find the answer on Xiao Yuanmu’s face. Therefore, his expression only tensed up even more. He sat there expressionlessly.
Li Nianan, in contrast, was very pleased. She smiled. “None of his exes were as sensible as you. Although you’re not quite a match for our family background wise, your personality is good. I’m very happy that there’s someone else to keep him in check. Although the two of you are young, you’ve both already graduated. Since you’ve graduated, you should think about marriage and k—”
“Mom!” Song Xuanhe glanced at Xiao Yuanmu’s expression, interrupting Li Nianan. “We’re just dating. There’s no need to talk about something so far away. Besides, we haven’t even dated for all that long. Why are you talking about marriage?”
Li Nianan had been playing matchmaker with him and Song Jiani just a while ago. Why did she suddenly have her eye on Xiao Yuanmu? Song Xuanhe had no idea what kind of development this was. 6YDhc5
Li Nianan didn’t pay Song Xuanhe any attention. Although there was a smile in her eyes, she was closely examining Xiao Yuanmu. “Do you want to marry into our Song Family?”
Eve: I actually love SXH’s mom. Hahahaha. While she’s not exactly the moooost supportive here it’s not the worst I’ve seen. She also gets more supportive later so <3 Also omg SXH being utterly panicked over this cracks me up. Meanwhile, MuMu is just entertained.
Kara: Aiya, Mama Song, please don’t tease your son too much. He may just have a heart attack, haha! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ I agree though, she’s definitely one of the better moms I’ve seen in CNovels. Also, sorry to the readers that the past few chapters have not been edited. IRL circumstances are really hindering my free time, but I promise to back edit them soon! ๑•́ㅿ•̀๑) ᔆᵒʳʳᵞ
