A brat!

Mother Zhen was alone in the cold night and was thinking about her daughter when suddenly she heard a question.

The voice was soft as a sweet melody and confusion laced in her tone.

Mother Zhen turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see her daughter standing at the door with bed hair. A frown forming on her beautiful face like a confused little baby.

She is awake.

Mother Zhen could not hold her excitement and wanted to run towards her and embrace her in a tight hug.

It's been too long that she has seen the true flesh of her daughter. She was just a tiny bundle of joy when Mother Zhen had last seen her.

Zhen Xiu saw her over-excited mother running towards her like she wanted to crush her and was immediately dumbstruck.

She shouted. "Halt! Stop right there."

It was awkward for her to see this much excitement from her family. Although now she knew that everything in the past was nothing than a fake illusion but she needed time to analyze her position here in this world. Now that she was truly alive.

Zhen Ying Yue abruptly stopped and missed her footing.

Zhen Xiu cursed but still went out to hold her mother.

She didn't want to draw a line between them but truthfully they need time to understand each other.

"Are you Okay? You should watch your steps. You are not young anymore, old lady!" Zhen Xiu teased her flushed mother.

It was fun to behave normally around family. Zhen Xiu realized this fast.

"I am alright." Mother Zhen's voice was laced with enthusiasm.

This was her first time interacting with her daughter and she didn't have enough words to express her happiness.

Her daughter was standing in front of her, looking all healthy and beautiful. This was more than enough for her.

Initially, she was hurt when her daughter stopped her from reaching her and in her confused state she lost her footing. It was embarrassing for Zhen Ying Yue to present such a flustered appearance in front of her daughter after so many years.

But all her hurt and shame disappeared in a flash when her daughter held her hand and was concerned about her whereabouts. It was such a beautiful feeling.

Zhen Ying Yue was experiencing it for the first time in her life after she has birthed her daughter.

"You should look after yourself.," Zhen Xiu reprimanded her mother at her carelessness. She was still uncomfortable to call her mother.

Her previous trauma was still in her heart when it comes to family members. She has learned this lesson in her life from the very beginning that one has to carefully look after themselves to make their life good.

She knew that Zhen Ying Yue was her true mother and was not malicious like the previous one but she believes that time would make her more accepting towards her mother.

This woman cares about her. Zhen Xiu was well aware of this fact from her new knowledge. The more shocking fact was the brat Zoru that she has always loved to tease was, in reality, her biological father.

Her true father!

This was a big shock for her but she knew now to accept strange things and happenings in her life with full enthusiasm.

"I am so glad that you are awake Yue'er." Mother Zhen excitedly held her palm and expressed her thoughts.

Zhen Xiu was overwhelmed to see her mother acting like this, it was her first time to see and experience motherly love in her life.

She was nervous and almost shy. Her ears turned a dark shade of pink when her mother happily enquired about her feelings and health. Whether she was comfortable or needed anything; words like these for Zhen Xiu was a big luxury that she has faced every time whenever she came inside this world.

Before it was Shen Ya and now it is her mother. Suddenly, Zhen Xiu wanted to be that little girl again that wanted her mother's love and without knowing anything she called Zhne Ying Yue.

"Mother!"

It was just a whisper but Zhen Ying Yue heard it clearly and was not able to control her emotions.

Mother!

Her daughter was finally willing to call her mother. Zhen Ying Yue could not control her excitement. Finally, they will be a small happy family.

"Yue'er, my little daughter…" Mother Zhen enveloped Zhen Xiu in a tight hug as she could not control her tears from leaking out. She was happy.

This was the best day of her life. Now she only has to wait for her husband and after that, they will be a complete family.

"Mother missed you." Mother Zhen cried.

Zhen Xiu accepted the warm embrace of her mother and basked in her happiness. It was such a nice feeling to have a mother that cares about you.

A true mother is like this, caring and indulging.

Zhen Xiu thanked god for the first time in her life to give her this second chance otherwise she would have never known that she was also a treasured daughter whose mother loved her like this.

She was glad that she was able to meet her true family again.

"Mother!" Zhen Xiu called her again.

She was trying to show her presence to her mother. She has seen everything while coming back here and was aware of her mother's pain and sacrifices.

"Don't cry, mother. I am fine. That brat is also fine."

Zhen Xiu consoled her mother. She knew that brat was her father but after knowing his childish look she was not able to call him father whenever she saw his four-year-old body. He was best suited to be called a brat.
