Although Mu Yazhe was his biological father, he would not allow his mother to suffer – not even from his father.
Even if it meant that… he would never see or acknowledge him in this life!
Mu Yazhe stood there for a long time; he was too stunned for words.
In just a few words, Yun Tianyou made his stance clear.
His words sounded straightforward, yet they were full of hidden meanings.Mu Yazhe only felt astounded by the boy.
He was astounded by the boy’s courage. He was too mature for his age and did not act like a small boy at all.
His desire to protect his mother was abnormally strong. In front of Yun Shishi, he was an obedient and understanding kid, but, behind her back, he was actually her protection god. Under his protective wings and tender loving care, no one could hurt or bully her.
What was more alarming was his last words. What did he mean by those?
Family or foe?
Family?
Family?!Too many unclear and weird thoughts crossed Mu Yazhe’s mind for quite a while.
This woman’s son may only be five or six years old, but he is extremely smart.
His voice, his temperament, his height, and even his features – or facial contours – can be said to fit Little Yichen to a mold.
Little Yichen is my son, and the child borne by this woman for the Mu family.
Everyone said a son will take after his mother, and a daughter will take after her father; however, Little Yichen has a face and build like mine.
This Yun Tianyou is also six years old like Little Yichen…
Mu Yazhe was rather alarmed as he considered further.
He had the woman investigated; not much information could be found about her, and there was definitely no mention of her having a son.
Is that boy her biological son? If that’s the case, then who is his father?
He recalled Yun Tianyou’s threat in verbatim. That ‘family or foe, you choose’ part was what shocked him the most.
He was hit with a sudden idea. He remembered her pregnancy report six years ago indicating that she was carrying a pair of twins.
In that moment, an unbelievable notion formed in his mind…
…
Inside the apartment, Yun Shishi listlessly sat at the table, her shoulders still shaking slightly.
The man was her nightmare. She trembled in fear at the mere thought of that man cruelly taking her child away from her once he found out the truth about Youyou.
No… Youyou was all she had for support.
Li Hanlin sat by her side and quietly regarded her, his eyes full of pity and loving kindness.
She was already twenty-four years old, yet her looks remained youthful and beautiful. She was stunning to the extent that he was unable to take his eyes off of her.
God has been kind to this girl and blessed her with all the assets.
His focused was entirely on her that he failed to notice that Yun Tianyou was eyeing him with much suspicion and displeasure from behind. The little boy cleared his throat loudly.
“Ahem, ahem!”
Li Hanlin was jolted back to reality. He saw Yun Tianyou serve Yun Shishi a bowl of red date herbal tea while disdainfully narrowing his eyes at him, as if he were asking, “Are you thinking of making a move on my mother? Don’t even think about it!”
He quickly motioned to Yun Tianyou for forgiveness and silently mouthed, “Director Yun, I’m not. It’s a misunderstanding!”
He would never dare touch Yun Shishi.
In any case, she might not be interested in him. Besides, with her little angel being Yun Tianyou, how would he even have a chance?
“Mommy, come drink this bowl of herbal red date and then take a rest!” Youyou looked at her with eyes full of loving tenderness.
He kept others at a distance and treated them coldly, but, toward his mother, he was only ever understanding and kind. Knowing that she was not feeling well these few days, he boiled the herbal red date tea for her.
Yun Shishi was touched and comforted when her son served the herbal tea. “What a good boy Youyou is!”
