887 LUCKY TO HAVE YOU
Mu Lan denied. "No, they don't. The only resemblance they had was their face. My papa is still more handsome than him. But I did feel a familiar vibe from him when I first saw him in the LI mansion. If I didn't forget how my father looked like; I could've solved it after seeing my grandmother's photo. Papa resembled her a lot. At that time, I was too busy being excited that I went to Li Shen's house. Silly me!" She shrugged. "Well, whatever happened in the past is gone now. I cannot do anything about it."
She gazed at his brother. "So, how did you find out that we were here?"
Jonah answered, "You know that little Japanese guy named Tokugawa Shintaro, he came to our house all of a sudden and told us that the situation is better. We can meet you and father. Of course, we didn't believe it at first. But Nick came to visit us and he knew that Tokugawa guy. As a result, we came along with him. On the way, he said that he was one of those men who raised you. He also told us that you took care of those who were behind our misery. I can't believe it was our aunt!"
Mu Lan frowned. "Oh, don't call that witch our aunt! She used her own sons to take her stupid revenge."
"My cousins are unlucky to have a mother like her." Jonah put his hands behind his head. "Hey Lanie, is there something to eat? I'm starving!"
"I guess we can't wait for papa and mommy. Let's go to the kitchen. Papa cooked something delicious. Also, I have some surprises for you. You probably haven't heard about it from Shin." Mu Lan started to walk towards the kitchen.
Jonah blinked. "Huh? What surprise?" He began to follow her.
"First fill your stomach." Mu Lan said mysteriously. "I can't let you know now."
However, the way she spoke, it sparked her brother's curiosity. "But I'm curious! Tell, tell me."
Mu Lan denied. "No."
Jonah grabbed her hand and complained, "You are cruel, Lanie."
Mu Lan thought of something. "Call me big sister, I might tell you."
Jonah bowed and said, "Oh holy big sister! Please grant my wish and tell me what's the surprise."
Mu Lan saw it and thought about it for a while with a serious expression. Then she smirked. "Not now." Then she ran away.
"You!" Jonah realized that he was deceived. He chased after her.
In the kitchen, they found Mu Liang, Juan, Carlo and Mark feeding the four kids. Mu Liang was feeing the youngest one, Juan was feeding the first one, Mark was feeding the second one and Carlo was feeding the third one. The third rice ball was behaving properly. His eyes were still puffed, and his cheeks and nose were red.
Mu Lan's heart ached but she ignored him.
On the other hand, Jonah was confused. He couldn't understand why there were lots of kids. It wasn't a nursery or daycare center.
Rice ball number three saw his mother first. He flinched before grabbing onto Mu Lan's clothes. "Mam…ma…" He teared up and said, "Sowwy!" He wept slowly.
There was no way Mu Lan stay cold after that. She carried him in her arms and kissed his cheeks. She wiped away his tears and said, "Was mama too hard on you? Don't cry. Mama doesn't hate you. Don't do something like this again, okay?"
It wasn't sure if the third rice ball understood anything or not, he still nodded.
Mu Lan smiled and said, "That's a good boy. Mama loves you a lot."
Other's also noticed her and they raised their hands and called out Mommy! Mama! Maaam!"
Jonah had a hard time to realize what he just saw. His jaw almost dropped on the floor. "Mama? Does that mean, th-they are all yours?" He pointed out the rest of them.
Mu Lan gave him a wink. "Four boys. Did you like my surprise?"
"Holy s**t!" Jonah stumbled. "They are my nephews! Does dad know?" He was astonished that his sister gave birth to four children all at once.
"He knows and the boys love him very much." Mu Lan put down the third rice ball and stroked the other three boys' heads.
Jonah forgot about his hunger. "Unbelievable! When did you give birth to them?"
Mu Lan replied, "Eleven months ago. They will turn one a month later. We will have a big party in this castle. Everyone is coming. Since my family is united, I can proudly tell everyone that you are my family. So, you have to attend the party too. That's an order."
"Even if you didn't invite me, I would've invited myself. I cannot miss my nephews' birthday party." Jonah bent forward and told the kids, "Hello! I'm your uncle!" he pointed out to himself.
The kids called out, "Ucle!"
"Ukel!
Jonah felt that his heart became softer than snow. "Aww! They are so cute. Let me give you warm hugs." He hugged them with delight. "Look how soft they are and so tiny."
Mu Lan looked at Mu Liang and smiled. Mu Liang was surprised to see Jonah at first but then he realized that this was the reason why Luo Yicheng took her.
One by one, Mu Lan introduced Jonan to everyone and because of his easy-going nature and friendliness, The Cobra members became his good buddies. They started to tell him how daring his sister was when she was a child.
Soon after, Professor Ryuren and Zhuan Zhen joined them. Mu Lan introduced Mu Liang to her mother. Zhuan Zhen said, "I heard a lot about you from Jonah. Thank you for loving my daughter."
Mu Liang was overwhelmed just like his wife. He said, "Thank you for giving birth to her. She is the most wonderful present in my life. I'm honored to have a mother-in-law like you and also you, father-in-law." He looked at Professor Ryuren.
Professor Ryuren patted his shoulder. "My daughter is lucky to have you. Please take great care of her in the future as well."
"I will." Mu Liang promised.
