Lin Mochen"s eyes widened in shock when he heard his mother"s words while Li Xiaolu was surprised. She looked at Zhu Qian weirdly and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by that? You do have a daughter." Zhu Qian immediately snapped out of her daze when she realized what just happened. She thought that she was speaking in her mind and she didn"t realize that she spoke it out loud, "I-I... meant... that..."
"My twin sister doesn"t live with us here, so my mother misses her very much. That"s why she said that. Isn"t it mom?" Lin Mochen said quickly making up an excuse.
"Yes, I miss her very much." Zhu Qian nodded with an awkward smile.
"Oh!" Li Xiaolu nodded even though she felt that something was weird. "Do you both look like each other?" she asked curiously.
Lin Mochen and Zhu Qian looked at each other. They didn"t know what to say. Thinking about the lost twin, Lin Mochen and Zhu Qian"s heart pained. They didn"t know how that baby was. They lived their life luxuriously but they didn"t know how that baby was living her life. They didn"t know whether that baby was even alive or not. Just thinking about it made then feel so painful in their heart yet their skillfully controlled their emotions.
They didn"t want anybody to know what was happening in their family. They didn"t want anybody to know what happened to the only daughter of Lin. It would only be better like this for that baby"s protection wherever she was.
Zhu Qian and Lin Mochen were talented actors so they glanced at each other and quickly controlled their emotions. Before Li Xiaolu could ask anything else about his twin sister, Lin Mochen quickly diverted her attention by presenting her a dish.
"Xiaolu tastes this and tell me what do you fell about this dish?" he asked.
"You know I am going to get fat just because of you." Li Xiaolu complained as she took the dish from Lin Mochen"s hand. During these days while she was shooting with Lin Mochen, she realized that he was a big foodie. He just couldn"t live without food. During breaks, he would be constantly chewing on something or he would be drinking juice or stuffs like that.
It"s fine if he was eating it all alone, he would also make her eat along with him. Looking at him Li Xiaolu just couldn"t understand one thing, where was all of his food going?
Even though he was eating so much, he was still fit and healthy.
"You are not going to get fat." Lin Mochen chuckled, "Instead you should eat more, you are so thin." he said disapprovingly while looking at Li Xiaolu.
"Yes, Mochen is right. You should ear more, Xiaolu." Zhu Qian said supporting Lin Mochen"s words. "Some worry about your weight and all of that stuff, just eat to your heart"s content."
Li Xiaolu smiled seeing them so concerned about her. Like this, the whole afternoon they happily spent with each other. Lin Mochen was so happy with his decision on bringing Li Xiaolu to lunch and he was glad that his mother joined him during this.
The more he looked at them, the more he felt as if they were mother-daughter and he was an outsider. The way they would team up against him to pull his leg or joke about something gave him a special kind of feeling. As he looked more closely towards his mother, he realized that Li Xiaolu was not only similar to him but in some ways but she was also similar to his mother.
The way they both smiled, their way of holding the spoon and also the way they would frown, pout or glare at him. Everything was somewhat similar if you looked at them with keen eyes.

The longer Lin Mochen glanced at them, he felt that Li Xiaolu was really similar to his mother in some ways. A suspicion arose in his heart. She was just like him, they had many things in common between them, they had their birthdays on the same date then she was also quite similar to his mother. Also, she had the same name as his twin sister, Xiaolu.
She was the perfect candidate for being his twin sister. Lin Mochen eye"s widened at that thought. His heart raced as he thought of this possibility. How wonderful it would be if Li Xiaolu actually turned out to be his twin sister?
Lin Mochen wondered but as soon as he thought about that, he shook his head dispelling that thought from his mind. He felt like smacking his head for even thinking about this ridiculous possibility.
How can she be his twin sister? She was the elder daughter of the Li family. She had a family of her own. She had a sister and a brother.
A brother?
She had a brother of her own. Just by thinking about that a sour feeling arose in his heart and tears started welling up in his eyes. Li Xiaolu noticed that something was wrong about Lin Mochen so she asked, "Mochen are you alright?"
Lin Mochen nodded.
"You look like you are about to cry?" Li Xiaolu questioned. Zhu Qian also glanced at his son with concern.
"I know that we are eating your wife, but you don"t have to cry about that. Don"t worry, we can open a harem of delicious food-wifeys for you." she joked.
"Very funny!" Lin Mochen glared at Li Xiaolu but then he chuckled shaking his head. After finis.h.i.+ng their lunch, Li Xiaolu, and Lin Mochen returned to their shooting location while Lin Mochen"s mother, Zhu Qian returned to her home. While they left the restaurant, what they failed to notice was a reporter capturing every single moment of theirs in his camera from the moment when they entered the restaurant to leaving it after eating their lunch.
