I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 2] Chapter 17
[Vol. 2] Chapter 17: Miss Yinya’s Son
After a long journey, Yinya and Xia Qiuxue finally arrived at their destination, but it was already late, and the sky was adorned with a bright moon.
“It’s been a tough day for you, Xia Qiuxue,” Yinya patted Xia Qiuxue’s shoulder, nearly pushing her away.
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing at all.”
Xia Qiuxue dared not complain, only hoping that tomorrow would come quickly so she could return home soon. Little Xueluo must be worried about her.
“Let’s hurry inside.”
Yinya suggested, walking up to the door and pressing the doorbell. After half a minute of ringing, the door was finally opened.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Yi Luo looked at the two of them warily.
Yinya wore a cat mask to prevent anyone from recognizing her when she arrived, so Yi Luo couldn’t recognize her at all. After all, Yinya looked completely different from her usual appearance, both in appearance and voice.
“Yi Luo, it’s me, Yinya.” Yinya changed her voice back to its original form and spoke to Yi Luo.
“Yin, Senior Yin, why do you look like this?” Yi Luo was surprised but quickly calmed down.
“Shh, keep your voice down. Let’s hurry inside,” Yinya gestured quietly, not wanting to attract any unnecessary attention.
Yi Luo nodded and opened the door wider to let Yinya and Xia Qiuxue in. Sensing the situation, the two of them quickly entered. After entering the house, Yinya took off her mask.
“It’s been a long time since I came home.”
Yinya looked at the familiar surroundings. This house actually belonged to her, but because of a certain brat running away from home, and because she often worked outside, Yinya temporarily let Yi Luo stay in the house.
That’s because Yi Luo always complained to her, saying that he couldn’t sleep well in the association’s dormitory beds.
Of course, the house staff had been dismissed by Yinya. After all, she and her son were basically never at home, so she couldn’t afford to pay them to serve Yi Luo, the big lazybones.
Wait, why was it so messy? Yi Luo knew she was coming back, yet she didn’t even bother to clean up.
“Yi Luo, don’t you plan to explain?” Yinya caught Yi Luo and gave her a seemingly friendly smile.
“Uh… wasn’t I looking for files? So, I spent a bit of time on that and didn’t have time to clean up,” Yi Luo tried to cover up the truth.
“Is that so?”
Yinya picked up the remote control from the table and turned on the TV screen. The screen was playing the latest popular movie.
Then Yinya picked up the canned drink, still cold, obviously just taken out of the fridge, and there was also half a bucket of popcorn next to it.
As it turned out, Yi Luo was lying just now. She had clearly been watching a movie while eating and drinking.
“How do you explain these?” Yinya shook the bucket of popcorn in her hand.
“Well…” Caught red-handed by Yinya, Yi Luo was suddenly speechless.
“Alright I don’t have time for your excuses anymore. Clean up the place properly right away,” Yinya said, hands on her hips.
“Clean up? Impossible. It’s never going to happen in this lifetime,” Yi Luo expressed her disbelief. Getting herself to clean up? It’s not that easy.
“Is that so? Then don’t blame me,” Yinya looked at her as if she was determined to go down with the ship.
“Xia Qiuxue, come over here, I have a little secret to tell you about someone,” Yinya gestured for Xia Qiuxue to come closer.
“Oh! Really?”
Hearing this, Xia Qiuxue became interested. Listening to someone’s little secrets… ahem, it’s an order from Lady Yinya, she’s just forced to listen.
“Hey, wait a minute.” Yi Luo immediately grabbed Yinya.
“Can’t I go tidy up instead? Please don’t spread rumors to others.” Seeing the situation, Yi Luo had no choice but to surrender.
“Wouldn’t it be better if you did this earlier?” Yinya said.
With Yi Luo and Yinya’s cleaning efforts, the living room was finally much tidier, at least it didn’t give off that messy feeling anymore.
“Finally done tidying up. I really want to lie down on the bed for a while,” Yi Luo lay on the sofa, looking like she was about to die.
“When will you ever get rid of this lazy habit?”
Yinya picked up the freshly brewed teapot and poured tea into three tea cups. Then she handed one cup to Xia Qiuxue and one to Yi Luo, keeping one for herself.
“Thank you,” Xia Qiuxue took the tea cup and blew on the steam, hoping the tea would cool down quickly.
“I don’t need it. I’ll have hot milk later,” Yi Luo refused Yinya’s tea. She wanted to have a good sleep tonight, so she needed to drink more milk.
“Suit yourself,” Yinya said, taking a sip of her tea after blowing on it gently.
“How did the task I assigned to you go?” After tasting the tea, Yinya asked Yi Luo.
“Don’t worry, I’ve completed the task perfectly,” Yi Luo replied confidently, opening her backpack next to her, revealing a pile of files.
Yinya took the files and went upstairs. She wanted to find a quiet environment to read the information on them.
Now, only Yi Luo and Xia Qiuxue were left in the living room. The atmosphere was a bit awkward since they didn’t know each other. Xia Qiuxue wanted to say something to ease the tension.
But then, a photo on the table caught her attention. It showed Yinya holding a sleeping baby.
“I didn’t expect you to notice so quickly.”
Yi Luo appeared behind Xia Qiuxue without her noticing, almost scaring her to death.
“The baby in the picture…?” Though startled, Xia Qiuxue still asked curiously.
“That’s Senior Yinya’s child,” Yi Luo said with a smile.
Xia Qiuxue was shocked. She didn’t expect Yinya to have a child, especially since Yinya wasn’t married. Where did this child come from? Could it be…
“He was actually picked up by Miss Yinya,” Yi Luo leaned on the edge of the sofa.
“Picked up? No wonder. I was just wondering earlier how Miss Yinya could have a child when she’s not married.”
“What’s his name? Is he still in the house?” Xia Qiuxue asked.
“His name is Yinyue, and he’s currently away from home,” Yi Luo replied with a sigh.
If it weren’t for Yinyue running away, Yinya wouldn’t have dismissed the household staff. Sob, sob, sob, she wouldn’t have to clean the rooms herself.
“Yinyue?”
Xia Qiuxue didn’t expect Yinya’s son to have the same name as Sister Yinyue. No wonder Miss Yinya is so affectionate toward Sister Yinyue. It’s probably because of the name.
“Are there any photos of him when he’s older?” Xia Qiuxue was curious about this.
“Of course, let me find them for you.”
Yi Luo began to search around the living room and finally found some photos of Yinyue when he was older.
“Ta-da, I finally found it.”
Yi Luo handed the photos to Xia Qiuxue, and they were exactly what she was looking for.
Xia Qiuxue took the photos and carefully examined the young man in them. Is this the son Miss Yinya adopted? He doesn’t look anything like a boy. He is more like a beautiful short-haired girl dressed as a boy. If his hair were a bit longer, he would look like a stunning girl.
“Do you think he looks like a girl? I often wonder how nice it would be if Yinyue were really a girl,” Yi Luo sat back on the sofa and said to Xia Qiuxue.
“Indeed,” Xia Qiuxue agreed with Yi Luo’s opinion.
Meanwhile, Yinyue was standing on the villa’s rooftop, looking at the full moon in the sky and wiping her nose with a handkerchief.
“Strange, I thought the wind wasn’t that strong tonight? I wonder what Miss wants me to do while waiting for her on the rooftop.”
