1 Chapter 1

"Ah! His eyes moved, he's awake! Xiao San-gege is finally awake!" Ace's eyes had not fully opened when he heard a voice as clear as bells ringing at his ears.

"Shuang Er, don't be rude towards your brother..." Then, he heard a warm and gentle, motherly voice that carried an air of motherly love with them.

As Ace opened his eyes, an adorable and lively girl sprang into his view. She was a small girl wearing a bluish-green Chinese gown, her pale white arms stuck out of the sleeves. Her hair was braided with red ribbons on two sides and flowed down to her waist. Her pearl white wrist was adorned with a silver bracelet that had a small bell.

The small girl mischievously reached out her hands to pinch Ace's nose.

As her soft, supple arms moves, the bells on her bracelet jingled, sounding much like her crisp and clear giggles.

As he is preparing to make a move on the girl, suddenly a pair of arms reached out from behind and held onto the mischievous girl, swatting her small hands lightly. Thinking that that punishment for being mischievous is enough, the girl is then drowned in the arms embrace. The small girl was not even afraid and thought that it was fun, giggling away in her mother's embrace. Grimacing at the cute scene in front of him, Ace thought about the strangeness of it all. His gaze swept across the room and fixed upon the woman behind the small girl, and his heart unconsciously let out a small sigh.

Oh my, what a beautiful woman...

A thirty-year-old young woman was sitting in front of Ace.

She had delicate features, her complexion white as the moon and her eyes clear as spring. Her small mouth bloomed into a smile that was as gentle and refined as flowing water.

Her lustrous black hair was pulled up high into a bun, barely decorated with a single purple phoenix hairpin, simple and elegant but yet still stylish. Looking at her as a whole, her expression seemed to appear even more beautiful and full of wisdom. Adorned in a sky blue gown and a jade bracelet on her wrist that was hugging the small girl, she was a sight for Ace to see!

If I could marry such a woman, I wouldn't want anything else.

The beautiful woman saw that Ace was awake and her smile disappeared. Her jade-white complexion was filled with a grieved and guilty expression, "San-er, don't be so rash again next time. Who gives you the notion to drown yourself in the river when things get hard? Luckily we managed to save you in time, otherwise, how would I... how would I face my older sister? When big sis entrusted you to me, Si Niang, I had already thought of you as my own child. San-er, so many years past, I could never have the heart to punish you. This time you made a big mistake and if I don't make you remember the lesson today, I would be letting my big sister down. Next month, wait until your Fourth Uncle comes back, ask him for a beating as your punishment."

The small girl twitched her little nose and followed along, "Ask him for a beating, 'papapa', let him beat you until your butt is swollen!"

As he came to his senses, he remembered that he had reincarnated as Yue Yang in this world and the woman in front of him is Yue Yang's Aunt, Ah Xian. His mother left him when he was a child and his aunt had taken care of him. The original called her Fourth Mother. And the little girl is his cousin Yue Shuang.

The beautiful woman looked at the Ace who was lost in his thought. She thought that he was feeling guilty and looked very cute, so her voice became much gentler, "San-er, it's okay if you understand your mistakes. Young people shouldn't be afraid to make mistakes, but it's a problem if they don't learn from their mistakes. Si Niang has watched you grow up and knows that you know what's good and bad for you. It's just that the matter of the daughter of the Xue Family rejecting your engagement had hit you too hard and made you do something rash. San-er, even though Xue Family's daughter is good, if her heart is not set on you, let the engagement go. If you can't share your troubles and happiness with your wife and support each other in troubled times, then you shouldn't even get married. Look at our Yue Family, we are one of the big four families. There are so many girls in this world, did you think you won't be able to find one?"

"Yes..." Ace decided to feign himself as the fool who drowned himself on the river.

"San-er, it's good if you understand. Si Niang is relieved now." The beautiful woman had been prepared to persuade him for a long time, but the boy had unexpectedly came around after jumping once into the river. She thought that miracles did exist.

The beautiful woman then told Ace to rest well.

She released the small girl and stood up, preparing to leave the room.

Ace's heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, luckily he had managed to hide the truth.

The beautiful woman held the small girl's hands and walked towards the door, then suddenly turned back and asked, "San-er, will you promise me that you wouldn't try anything rash? You may look weak but you have a strong mind inside. Even though you might look agreeable on the outside, you have a stubborn heart, that I know. Please don't wait until I'm gone and do foolish things behind my back again... You really won't do anything rash again, right?"

"No, I won't," Yue Yang shook his head

Yue Yang was moved by her words. Although her concern wasn't directed towards him, she was really kind towards that pitiful guy. He thought it was foolish of him to commit suicide.
