Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting
Chapter 1181 - 793: A Blood-Red Five-Petaled Flower"But..."
After Su Xiaomeng calmed down, she still couldn’t help thinking of that little boy with the flower-shaped birthmark on his forehead.
She walked up behind Yin Shixiu, put both arms around his waist, her hands clasped over his stomach. "Shixiu... do you think Little Treasure is doing well up in heaven?"
Yin Shixiu’s body clearly stiffened; he obviously hadn’t expected Su Xiaomeng to suddenly bring up Yin Xiaobao, that child of theirs who’d so tragically died young.
His big hand covered her small one, gently patting it. "What is it? How come you suddenly thought of Little Treasure?"
"Nothing... it’s just that the kid we saved today is five. If Little Treasure hadn’t died, he’d be around five now too..."
"...Yeah, five."
"Tell me, if Little Treasure were alive, would this little girl have the same temper as Shuangshuang? Or would she be like Huang Huang, a bit cold, barely talking, that kind of pitifully quiet?"
"Maybe she’d be a different kind of personality altogether, able to be quiet and lively both?"
Yin Shixiu guessed, then turned around to look at her. "Meng Meng, she’ll be doing really well up in heaven. Her mother’s so kind, risking danger just to save someone else, piling up blessings for her down here. How could she not be doing well?"
Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips, tilted her head back, her chin nudging his chest, and said with a grin, "Right, our daughter, she’s definitely doing great."
"Let’s not dwell on it anymore, okay?" Yin Shixiu stroked her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness.
Xiao Meng hugged him tight, nestling into his arms. "Mm, I won’t think about it."
It had already been a long time. The person who caused Little Treasure’s death had gotten the punishment they deserved...
It was just that that little one’s flower-shaped birthmark between his brows was simply too striking. For several nights in a row, as soon as Xiao Meng closed her eyes, all she could see was that dazzling red birthmark.
Sweet dreams with a red birthmark, nightmares with a red birthmark... it kept her from getting a single good night’s sleep for days.
Yin Shixiu sensed her recent unease. When he asked, she only said she’d been dreaming of Little Treasure... which left Yin Shixiu both helpless and heartbroken. Luckily he knew this had all started after that incident...
So Yin Shixiu privately went to ask Prince Huang for more details about the child Su Xiaomeng had saved.
Prince Huang described everything that happened that day very thoroughly, and Yin Shixiu just listened quietly until Prince Huang said, "Mom said that little sister has a birthmark pretty much like Xiao Xiaoang’s."
"Where is Xiao Xiaoang’s birthmark?"
Yin Shixiu asked, a bit curious.
Prince Huang pointed to the center of his own forehead. "Right here, a blood-red, blood-red five-petaled flower."

————
Saturday came again. Prince Huang practiced piano in the morning and had a grade exam in the afternoon. The Children’s Art Center was one of the test sites, so they didn’t have to run all over the place.
Su Xiaomeng stayed with him the whole time. Mr. Ke said Prince Huang’s level was more than enough to pass level ten, and Prince Huang himself was calm as anything. It was Su Xiaomeng who sat there nervously for no reason—not that failing would be embarrassing, it was just a kind of inexplicable nervousness, like when she took dance exams as a kid.
While Prince Huang was still practicing, Su Xiaomeng found an empty break room to wait in. She hadn’t been waiting long when she heard two teachers outside gossiping...
"It’s that kid who brought a dog to the art center again... why is it that there’s always something with him? How do this kid’s parents even raise him?"
"Don’t even start. His dad’s a surgeon, busy all the time, where would he find the time to teach him properly?"
"Then what about his mom?"
"He doesn’t have a mom. The one who often comes to pick him up is just his father’s fiancée..."
