If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofreader: Zhou Zhijie

Mu Ziyou remembers that before Xia Wanyan and Li Qiaosheng fell in love, Xia always walked behind them while Qiaosheng and she walked in front side by side. Later, after her engagement to Qiaosheng, it turned out that Xia Wanyan and Li Qiaosheng got closer and closer, and she was unwittingly left behind by them.

No one could expect that their relationship could change back to the original situation.

Mu Ziyou is actually a lively girl, different from Xia Wanyan who has much burden of being a “fair lady”.

However, in order to please Qiaosheng, she had gradually grown more and more cautious in front of him. She even mistakenly thought that Qiaosheng liked such type of lady as Xia Wanyan and secretly imitated her best friend’s behavior and posture many times.

Now she just wants to be herself so when she sees the megadrop or a roller coaster and something like that, she cries out with excitement and can’t wait to have a ride. She does so even with an intention of revenge.

She thinks that the man wouldn’t have the courage to play these recreation facilities or really have a ride with her. But Li Qiaosheng knows Xia Wanyan absolutely dare not play together with them so they can leave her alone for a while. Therefore, without hesitation, Li joins the queue with Mu Ziyou.

Xia Wanyan can do nothing but wait for them on the ground, looking at Mu’s dazzling and showy smiling face and Qiaosheng darling’s pampering expression while looking at Mu.

How can this happen?

Even if he has got to know all the frame-up she has done to Mu Ziyou, it’s natural for him to hate her. But why has Qiaosheng’s attitude to Mu Ziyou changed so dramatically? He still thinks that she, Xia Wanyan, is the little girl in the earthquake, doesn’t he?

Xia doesn’t take her thoughts back until the phone in her hand rings. She looks down and checks it. It is from her father.

“Hello, dad. What’s up?”

“Wanyan, is the name of your dead best friend whom you mentioned before Youyou? What’s her full name? And what’s her mother’s name? Is her surname Mu?” Xia Zhiguo asks in a hurry on the other end.

Xia Wanyan frowns unconsciously, with a kind of bad foreboding, “Well, yeah. Her name is Mu Ziyou, and her mother, Mu Qing. What’s the matter?”

“It’s really her…”, Xia Zhiguo mutters, in a somewhat grave tone, “Listen to me, Wanyan. I have finally found out the whereabouts of your twin sister. She is no none than your best friend, Mu Ziyou.”

“Impossible! She absolutely doesn’t look like me at all!” Xia Wanyan can’t help refuting his father loudly.

But she subconsciously recalls the scenes when she and Mu Ziyou met for the first time and became the best friends so naturally.

It was indeed extremely easy for them to get along. After getting along with Mu Ziyou, she finds later that they two have so many common interests, and even to the end… they fell in love with the same man. Not to mention the tacit understanding and the empathy between them— once one frowns, the other will get to know what she is thinking about.

And Xia Wanyan often made full use of this then to block Mu in a speechless way in front of Qiaosheng darling, thus she successfully separated them who were actually in a good relationship before.

Xia Zhiguo sighs. “Yes, just because of this, I have never doubted the identity of your best friend. But your mother—”

“She’s not my mother!”

“Fine, fine. She is Mu Ziyou’s mother. She gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins, so you two don’t resemble each other. But your eyebrows and eyes are very similar, right? You are more like me, but Mu Ziyou resembles more of her mother… Wanyan, Wanyan? Are you still listening?” Xia Zhiguo calls his daughter repeatedly when he feels that his daughter on the other end seems a little abnormal.

But Xia Wanyan can’t hear anything with her mind so confused now…

If Mu Ziyou is her twin sister, then Mu Qing is her mother, so she… she made her own mother commit suicide, didn’t she?

No, how could that woman be her mother?

Her mother should be a fair lady from a prosperous family and her father is the chairman of the board of directors of the group. She is a pure fair lady from a wealthy family!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

If Mu Ziyou is her twin sister, what about the scandal video?

Where to find someone who looks exactly like herself?

It’s impossible in a short time!

If she can’t find a person looking like herself, Qiaosheng must be waiting to laugh at her. What should she do? What else could she do?
