Chapter 1: Identical Babies

When Tong Jiumo woke up, the color white entered her vision.
“Child? My child!”
Tong Jiumo could only think about her child, and seeing no trace of her child around, she endured the intense pain in her lower body.
A female doctor wearing a coat walked in and said worriedly, “Don’t move around, you just gave birth! Your body is weak, you’ll end up reopening your wound!”
Tong Jiumo reached out and held Sophie’s hands, asking anxiously, “Phi, where is my child?”
Sophie supported Tong Jiumo back onto the bed with a grave expression on her face. “Jiumo, I’ve already booked tickets to the UK for you. You need to leave with your son and never come back!”
“He’s here, isn’t he?” Jiumo’s voice trembled, her eyes filled with fear.
“I didn’t mean to cause Wanqing’s death, I didn’t do it on purpose…” said Jiumo tearfully.
“Momo, I know it wasn’t your fault, that was an accident.”
Sophie comforted Tong Jiumo. “Momo, what you need to do now is take the child and leave out of Mo City to escape from his grasp.”
“Do I really need to leave the city?” Tong Jiumo’s voice shook, her eyes welling up with tears.
“Momo, you’ve already lost your family and your fiancé. If you don’t leave now, when he appears, you won’t be able to escape! Have you forgotten how that man directed his hatred towards you ten months ago?” said Sophie.
After Sophie sent Tong Jiumo and her son away in a car, a black Bentley stopped in front of the hospital entrance. Four bodyguards stood next to the car, and a man in a black tailored suit disembarked from the car.
He was a tall, imposing man. A pair of sunglasses covered half his face so his features couldn’t be seen clearly, and the aura he exuded was so cold that no one dared to approach him.
“Sir, this is Tong Jiumo’s son.” Sophia handed a baby swaddled in cloth to the man.
At that moment, Sophie was intimidated by the man’s icy aura and couldn’t help trembling.
Exactly what kind of man had Tong Jiumo provoked?
—
Five years later.
London, England.
After returning home from work, Tong Jiumo didn’t see her son, only a letter in his room announcing that he had left the house never to return.
After reading it, she immediately hurried to the airport, holding the letter and an air ticket.
‘This little bunny, running away from home at such a young age!’
‘I’ll teach him a lesson when I catch him!’
Eleven hours later, at Mo City International Airport.
The moment Tong Jiumo got off the plane, she scanned her surroundings.
“Oh, mommy, you’re so slow! I’ve been waiting here for nearly two hours.”
A childish voice with an English accent drifted towards her.
Tong Jiumo looked over, and indeed, she saw a child dressed smartly in a white shirt and suspender shorts.
With a serious expression, she walked over and picked up her son. “Tong Lele, you little brat! Running away from home is bad enough, you even dared to take a plane to a foreign place like Mo City! You have some nerve!”
“Mommy, I’ve already decided to return to your hometown and put down my roots here!” Tong Lele blinked with his bright eyes, looking steadily at his mother’s angry face.
“Tong Lele, don’t you know that mommy’s career and business are all in London? Did you think I would come back just because you want me to?” Tong Jiumo expected better from her son.
“Oh, mommy, you don’t need to worry! Before the flight, I’ve already transferred all of mommy’s assets to a Chinese account!”
With a sparkle in his eyes, Tong Lele said happily, “Moreover, you’re the first apprentice of the seven-star Michelin chef, Mr. Gordon. Your career can flourish anywhere… don’t mistakenly think it’s easy to trick me because I’m only five, I know everything.”
Indeed! His mother was a chef, not only a world-renowned chef but also one of the most famous stars on the BBC.
As her stew was the dish that had caught the attention of the seven-star Michelin chef Mr. Gordon, his mother’s stew was praised as the soup of the century.
“Although mom is in the culinary industry, that doesn’t mean you can just uproot all of my career foundations in London!” said Tong Jiumo angrily.
This child started giving her trouble the moment she took her eyes off him.
By forcing her to return to Mo City like this, she didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye to her teacher.
The moment Tong Jiumo got angry, Tong Lele immediately escaped from her grasp and ran away.
“Tong Lele, stop right there!”
Tong Jiumo kept her eyes on the vigorous figure and chased after him.
On the other side of the airport, four bodyguards in black suits were among the crowd, looking for someone and shouting, “Little Master, young master is calling you back home for dinner!”
“Little Master, don’t run around. If we run into Young Master, he will punish us!”
A boy in a neat suit broke away from the crowd and ran straight ahead.
The two boys, who were hiding, bumped into each other.
“Ouch, my back hurts, you’d better compensate me—”
“Who dares to bump into me, apologize right now—”
“What the!?”
“What the!?”
“Why do you look exactly like me!?”
“Why do you look exactly like me!?”
The two identical children pointed at each other, shocked, both covering their foreheads and saying in unison.
Not just their intonation, but every gesture and expression was identical.
