Chapter 193 166 What do you think of my mom (third update, please subscribe)

"Hmm-hmm... what shall we play at the amusement park today?"

Looking at Ling Nai's desk with only a photo frame on it, Xia Nuo seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Without Ling Nai, it feels like there's a lot less fun."

Luo Xianyu, on the other hand, was not concerned about Ling Nai at the moment. As soon as she returned to the park, she couldn't wait to take out a rather large booklet from her bag.

"Come on, You You, Nuo Nuo, I've brought something great to show you guys! Look at this!"

"Wow, what's this—" Xia Nuo leaned in curiously, waiting for Luo Xianyu to open it.

"It's our family photo album. There are lots of old photos of our family that I want to share with you."

"You have one of these..."

In this digital and information age, most people are used to doing photography and photo editing online. Other than instant photos like Ling Nai's, it has become very rare for people to print pictures, so the habit of keeping physical photo albums is rather unusual.

The first page of Ayu's family album is inscribed with handwritten words:

[To my dearest you]

On the first page of the album is a family portrait of the three of them—Ayu looks to be only three years old. Her father's skin was still fair, and he looked very young, while her mother appeared somewhat aloof and cold, far from the approachable person she is now.

Turning the pages of the album, a series of glamour shots of Ayu's mother appeared one after another: there were urban beauties with a Korean wave style, cute and youthful outfits, dazzling stage catwalk ensembles, and even portraits of her when she was pregnant with Ayu.

And there was the Hawaiian-style bikini beauty!

The pictures were... slightly risqué.

"Ah, is this Ayu's mom too! She looks like a celebrity on TV! Ayu's mom seems as dazed and clumsy as Ayu usually does; I never imagined she had so many beautiful photos before."

Two-thirds of the album is nearly all records of Ayu's mother's growth!

However, after Ayu was born, the photography focus shifted mostly to her alone, and the album was filled with artistic photos of Ayu in various beautiful outfits.

"Wow, this one, this one, this is a photo of the three of us together on a variety show!"

Even the moments captured on "Kids in Love" were there—You You saw himself at 2 years old, the calm and silent child he used to be.

"This is You You, this is Nuo Nuo, right? Ayu was so short back then, seems like a little bean."

"Ayu has grown tall now, hehe—"

Luo Xianyu shared her family photos with Fang You and Xia Nuo with great joy, and both Fang You and Xia Nuo were enjoying looking at them with interest.

At that moment, Luo Xianyu shifted her seat and slowly leaned against Fang You, tugging his arm and looking at him with anticipation.

"You You, You You, I want to ask you a question, will you answer me?"

Hmm... That's not bad, she's starting to get used to calling me You You.

"What do you think of my mother?"

Luo Xianyu pointed to the bikini picture in the album and showed Fang You, "Isn't my mom pretty?"

"Um... Yes, very pretty."

...

?

"Not just that, my mom is also a well-known brand clothing designer and can design a lot of pretty clothes, earning lots and lots of salary. You see, this one, this one... and this one, these are all clothes made by my mom."

Ayu's parents, although very loving and harmonious with each other, had grown less attentive to Ayu in recent years, especially her dad, so it was natural for Ayu to feel wronged.

"Why did Mom choose Dad to be her husband? My dad isn't as handsome as Uncle Xia, nor is he as funny as Uncle Fang, but my mom is so pretty and so amazing... Why would she choose a man like my dad to be her husband..."

Comparing like this, indeed, Ayu was even more struck.

Don't be fooled by Xia Anyang's constant setbacks with Emperor Youyou, in the eyes of others, he was undoubtedly a top-notch exemplary husband and a great dad, talented and handsome, the dream dad of many girls.

As for Fang Guanghui, at least he was known for being helpful and present, an adequate dad for Emperor Youyou.

Only Ayu had always been lacking in fatherly love and care.

It wasn't so hard to understand her thoughts of being very extreme and rebellious.

However...

Just as Luo Xianyu sobbed and Xia Nuo remained silent, Fang You at their side picked up the photo album.

"Ayu... look, does your mom have a lot of beautiful photos?"

"Hmm..."

Fang You said softly, "Have you ever thought about who took all these pretty pictures of your mom?"

"..."

Luo Xianyu seemed to realize who Fang You was talking about, and her gaze flickered for a moment.

Fang You continued to reason with Ayu, "Such pretty pictures must have been taken by your dad. Maybe... this photo album was even made by your dad for your mom."

"Wow, that's really it!"

Xia Nuo said, "I remember my dad also made such a photo album for my mom, and she wouldn't let me see it."

"Then, if Uncle Xia can make one, it means every dad would prepare... Uncle Fang has made one too, hasn't he?"

"No, my dad hasn't."

Fang You said, "My dad is terrible at taking photos, my mom kind of despises him for it."

"At least Uncle Fang is with Aunt Chen and Youyou, but my, my dad just..."

"I think it's normal for you to have complaints and thoughts about your dad, but you should tell him directly to his face. You can't just run away from problems and think about substituting me in his place."

Fang You said, "Although Ayu's mom is indeed very pretty, I also have the right to choose, don't I?"

"Hmm?"

Xia Nuo seemed to feel that something was amiss, but after some thought, she couldn't pinpoint what it was and decided to give up on it.

"Hmm, I think what Youyou said makes a lot of sense, Ayu!"

Xia Nuo said, "You have to tell your dad your grievances so that Fish Dad will understand."

"And I believe that Fish Dad must love you and he also wants to reconcile with you, right?"

"Hmm..."

Luo Xianyu nodded hesitantly, fiddling with her fingers, "Actually, my dad said he wanted to take me to the amusement park, said he'd make up for the lost time, but I, I don't really want to go with just him, I feel so awkward."

"Then let's all go and have fun together!"

Xia Nuo said, "We'll accompany you to play, then we'll see if Fish Dad has reflected and if he's planning to be your good dad again!"
