You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 444 - 429

"We haven't been dating long and we're both pretty traditional people," Shen Mochen said with a shy smile.

When the girl's parents asked about this topic, Shen Mochen naturally couldn't tell the whole truth. Even if there was something, he could only say there wasn't. Since Han Muxue hadn't mentioned it herself, Shen Mochen had to keep it a secret for her.

Moreover, given Shen Mochen's superficial understanding as a street-smart rascal, admitting he had been intimate with Han Muxue would only cause trouble for himself—who knew if her parents might want money from him in the future?

Acting was one of Shen Mochen's basic skills, and with a bashful smile, Han's mother couldn't find any flaws.

Han's mother continued, "There must be many beautiful girls in your team, why did you choose our little Muxue?"

"What's wrong with little Muxue?" Shen Mochen countered. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"But she... she has a disability. There must be a lot of things that are inconvenient, right?" Han's mother wanted to say something but felt it wasn't appropriate. She pondered for a moment and added cautiously.

"I don't think she's any different from ordinary girls. I actually find her to be very strong and extremely positive and optimistic."

Han's mother looked puzzled, "She's... really positive and optimistic?"

Shen Mochen said earnestly, "That's right."

Han's mother laughed awkwardly, "That's true... Muxue used to be quite gentle and quiet."

"She used to be very gentle and quiet?"

"Yes, she was calm and quiet, but now she seems livelier... she awakened her superpower... Well, it's good to be livelier."

"I'm dating little Muxue. What do you and uncle think about that?"

"Ha-ha, young people's affairs, Auntie doesn't understand too well... If you want to date, then date. After all, Uncle and Auntie won't stop you."

Shen Mochen nodded, "Hmm, okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Now that you've become a big star, you must be making a lot of money," Han's mother glanced around and smirked.

"Not a lot... I'm not much of a star. Initially, there was a task from the higher-ups, asking me to cooperate in filming a commercial. I didn't expect it to suddenly become so popular..." Shen Mochen shrugged, feigning innocence, "Besides that, I'm just an ordinary Buque."

"I see, I see..." Han's mother kept nodding, her pupils slightly unfocused, seemingly preoccupied, and who knows what she was thinking, "I've heard that your parents are no longer around, right?"

"Yes, you could say that," Shen Mochen nodded, "Oh right, Auntie, do you have any water? I'm a bit thirsty..."

"Oh, of course... Look at me, why drink water? There's watermelon in the fridge!" Han's mother clapped her forehead and hurried out the door, "You wait here, Auntie will go and cut some watermelon for you!"

After getting Han's mother out of the way, Shen Mochen looked around the bungalow, a two-bedroom with one bathroom. The master bedroom, naturally, was where Han Muxue's parents slept, adorned with a family portrait and some photos of Han Muxue and her brother from their childhood. Surprisingly, Han Muxue had apparently taken dance classes as a child, one photo captured her in a purple practice outfit, on tiptoe, smiling beautifully.

The second bedroom was smaller and probably belonged to her brother, Han Chengyong.

Shen Mochen mainly looked in the second bedroom. Aside from the pink walls, the room was full of a young boy's presence—messy desk, a backpack with superhero movies print, unfinished snacks, and monster game cards...

In a neglected corner, Shen Mochen saw a cartoon princess sticker that had yellowed with time, its edges curling up.

There were some old scratches on the wall, and upon closer examination, one could make out a few deep brown spots.

Leaving the bedroom, Shen Mochen returned to the living room, where Han's mother had already cut up some watermelon. Picking up a piece of watermelon, Shen Mochen walked to the door and glanced at the shack next to it: "Does Muxue normally live here?"

Han's mother was momentarily taken aback before she hurriedly explained, "No, no... It's her, she chose to stay over here. We told her to stay in a room inside the house, but she didn't want to... Look, her room now is quite nice too, it even has air conditioning!"

Shen Mochen looked at the air conditioning unit, which seemed quite new.

"Oh, maybe it's because she's grown attached to it over time," Shen Mochen said, his face showing no change as he smiled.

"Yes..." Han's mother first nodded with a smile, but then her smile quickly froze. She looked at Shen Mochen's expressionless face and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Shen Mochen squatted silently at the doorway eating his watermelon. The weather was unusually suffocating today, making it hard to breathe.

Shen Mochen did not consider himself a genius with the ability to see through to the essence of things at a glance. But he was smart, and since childhood, he had mastered an ability akin to "profiling."

While it was difficult to see through someone with a lot of depth, the details he observed could reveal many things.

He lowered his head to his watermelon, and Han's mother tactfully did not initiate more conversation. However, Shen Mochen wasn't really eating the watermelon; he was piecing together the state of Han Muxue before she awakened her "superpower."

She originally came from a normal family of three, and her parents even enrolled her in dance classes; she must have liked dancing... Until then, everything was normal. Although the family wasn't wealthy, her parents seemed to care for her deeply.

Until the accident happened, Han Muxue's lower limbs became paralyzed. This not only ended her dance career, but also condemned her to a life confined to a wheelchair...Her personality became increasingly reclusive and irritable, and later, when her parents had a baby boy, a healthy boy took the affection that used to belong only to her.

She grew more silent, even showing self-destructive tendencies, but the love poured into the younger son gradually wore down the parents' affection for Han Muxue.

A few years passed, and as her brother grew older, her parents informed her they wanted her to move her room to the hastily constructed shack.

What expressions and tones did they use when they asked Han Muxue to move? And when Han Muxue learned of it, what was her attitude?

This likely wasn't a sudden attack; she would have been preparing mentally. Being a smart girl, she must have known that she would have to leave the house she had lived in for over a decade, making room for her growing brother, just as she had already made room for him in her parents' hearts.

No one would like a child who was not only physically incomplete but also had an extremely unpleasant personality. The parents' love and attention for Han Muxue were gradually exhausted, leaving behind only a numb, mechanical sense of responsibility.

She must have sensed the change in her position within the family; she started to be disliked, excluded, spoken to coldly, and scolded without reason... She saw the disdain in her parents' eyes, felt the contempt from her brother.

She realized she was superfluous, but by then she lacked even the energy to resist, keeping silent every day, trying to appear as demure as possible, fearing abandonment.

Han Muxue had seen through her future: maybe she would be married off as a trouble, to a man with disabilities similar to her own, or to an old bachelor who couldn't find a wife... She didn't want to accept it, but she could only resign herself to such a fate.

Until her 16th birthday.
