Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(1) Souls Crossing Over Are All Frauds

A burst of intense pain in her head, noises by her ear echoed that seemingly came from afar but, at the same time, was very near. Chu Yan, from a period of darkness, slowly woke up to a 'crack' sound and a long drawn-out voice saying 'Cai Cai'.

Just a moment ago, she was tired from taking pictures, so she had lied down on the makeup table in the photo studio, wanting to rest her eyes for a moment. Only, it seemed as if she had slept for a long time, otherwise, how could the mother in front of her eyes have a worried expression as if everything was on fire. However, during the period of her headache, Chu Yan still snuck a few glances at her mother's appearance. Oh, this makeup artist was really good, erasing the wrinkles at her outer eyes and the colored spots to the tip of her nose. Moreover, her mother had on an ancient period costume that made her seem delicate, sweet-tempered, virtuous and a morally good woman. Scoff——it was not in vain, the coupon she had cheated from her best friend for a family artistic photo shoot in traditional clothing. She had no time to attend to the unfamiliar pain from her head, therefore, Chu Yan's mouth pulled into a grin to smile at the pretty-as-a-flower mother in front of her.

"Finished taking it? Is it my turn yet?"

"Cai Cai, are you awake?"

Two people said it at the same time, Chu Yan's ears shook and didn't hear what she said clearly. But, she still nodded, "I'm awake, hey, Mom, why are you crying?"

After the words were spoken, the delicate mother in front of her suddenly had tears in her peach flower-like eyes and started to weep. This simply overturned her mother's normally strict and thunderous wind-like manner. Without another word, the image of a strong woman had changed, coming too fast. Chu Yan had no time to react.

"Thump, thump——" Came the sounds of a burst of footsteps, Chu Yan was just about to turn her head when a face suddenly crowded in front of her, "Cai Cai, you are awake!"

The enlarged face, with an ear-splitting yell, scared Chu Yan, who was too close, to jump back and withdraw. Her hand pressed down on her heart that was jumping with thumping sounds. With a complaining tone, she looked at the person that suddenly popped up, "Dad, why did you suddenly scare me?"

One could see the obviously sobbing mother, immediately pull the dad who continuously tried to get closer to the daughter, to the side. She softly reprimanded and said, " Official Yuan (1), Cai Cai just woke up, don't you scare her!"

Chu Yan was dumbstruck, she didn't mishear right? Official Yuan? Cai Cai? What does it all mean? What stunned Chu Yan even more was that dad obediently stood to the side, like a child that had done wrong and was listening to an adult's lecturing. From time to time, he even mumbled, "Cai Cai slept for two days. I missed Cai Cai. Just now wasn't on purpose. Cai Cai..."

In the end, what is going on?

Could it be that this artistic portrait had turned into filming a video drama? The able and efficient mother plays the helpless, weak and virtuous woman. The tough with a stocky build dad become the foolish yes-man.

However, the straw mat beneath her body, with a patched quilt. A roof that leaked in the wind...it didn't seem to be fake.

Thinking up to here, a vast stretch of memories appeared in her mind in an earth-shattering manner. It immediately drowned out Chu Yan's current train of thought.

The light breeze brushed by the house, the sky was bright with clear air.

A young lady that was about ten years old sat on the large rock in front of the room with her cheeks propped up. She had a blank expression.

Whereas on her side, sat a tall and powerful male with a face that was jade-like. One could only see him imitating the little girl on the side with chin resting on both hands, and from time to time, follow her to sigh.
