Chapter 2039: Extra: A Brand New Life 154 Chapter 2039: Extra: A Brand New Life 154 Zhou Ping hadn’t even noticed Mo Yaoyao had returned until he heard his mom telling his dad about it. It didn’t seem like anything special until his mother suddenly said, “Yaoyao, you’re back too,” and that’s when he realized Mo Yaoyao had also returned, right behind his dad…
“Mom!!!” Zhou Ping shouted. What on earth was happening? He hadn’t even confessed his feelings yet!

“Sorry, sorry, sorry,” Mrs. Zhou laughed nervously. “Your mother didn’t mean to; I just didn’t see that Yaoyao was right behind your dad.”

But Mo Yaoyao already knew, so Mrs. Zhou hurried over to her, grinning so broadly that her eyes nearly disappeared, and said, “Yaoyao, he likes you, so what do you think about that, do you like him too?”

Mo Yaoyao was already stunned.

She just stood there, unable to react.

Wasn’t she angry? How did it suddenly turn into liking her…
“Mom!!!” Zhou Ping shouted even louder. “I was planning to confess properly, are you letting me confess or not!”

Mrs. Zhou defended herself steadfastly, “I saw that Yaoyao already knew, so I just asked on your behalf.”

Mr. Zhou couldn’t stop laughing, “Your mom is just too happy. If Yaoyao likes you and you get married, Yaoyao will never leave this family. We always worry about Yaoyao leaving this family after she gets married.” Then he too looked towards Mo Yaoyao, to see if she liked his son or not.

Mo Yaoyao finally came to her senses, her face instantly blushed, and her eyes reddened.

She naturally liked Zhou Ping.

But, she couldn’t say it.

It wasn’t out of shyness but because the Zhou family members had treated her too well, so well that she felt she owed the Zhou family too much and felt unworthy of loving Zhou Ping.

“Why are you crying?” Seeing Mo Yaoyao suddenly shedding tears like golden beads, Mrs. Zhou was heartbroken.

Mr. Zhou was also extremely anxious.

Zhou Ping felt even more heartbroken, but he misunderstood and put aside his thoughts of confessing, saying, “If you don’t like me just say it, no one will force you to like me. Stop crying, huh?” In the end, he couldn’t help but speak in a gentle coaxing tone.

“Yes, yes.” Mr. and Mrs. Zhou both repeatedly agreed. “Whether you like Zhou Ping or not, we are still one family. Don’t always keep yourself so distant, hiding everything in your heart, without speaking. It makes us feel bad too.”

In this family, they had never talked about this topic before.

Now that they had started talking about it, it was at this moment…
Mo Yaoyao felt like she was on the verge of collapsing, and her tears started falling even harder, but she finally opened up and expressed the feelings she had kept hidden in her heart, “I’m not distancing myself, I’m scared… I’ve already lost a home once, and I’m afraid of losing one again… I’ve considered this family as my own for a long time, but I’m afraid… afraid that if I truly become part of it, I might lose it again one day…”
“I, I,” Mo Yaoyao was crying so hard she almost couldn’t breathe, “I also like brother, have liked him for a long time, but you’ve all been too kind to me… I’m afraid to say it… afraid to say it… sob sob…”
Hearing Mo Yaoyao say she also liked him, Zhou Ping hadn’t even had time to feel elated before her follow-up words immediately filled him with heartache, prompting him to pull her into his arms and hold her tightly.

Mo Yaoyao simply buried her face in his chest and cried her heart out. Cried loudly.

Even when Mom passed away, she cried, but she had never cried out loud like this before.

Mrs. Zhou’s eyes reddened too as she dabbed her tears. She was relieved that Yaoyao was finally venting, and believed things would get better from now on. She had always felt that the child was keeping things bottled up inside, which was truly heart-wrenching.
