On the other hand, Yu Anwan seemed to be in a heated argument with Wen Jin, but Wen Jin listened to every word she said.

So, who was Yu Anwan?

Wen Jin did not answer Wen Zhanyan’s question. Instead, he asked, “Zhanyan, don’t you reject her?”

Both father and son knew that she was Yu Anwan.

However, Wen Zhanyan did not answer Wen Jin’s question.

The gaze of the father and son collided in the air, and they both had their thoughts.

Wen Jin knew Wen Zhanyan too well. Whatever Wen Zhanyan didn’t want to talk about, no matter how hard you tried, it was impossible to get it out of his mouth. So, Wen Jin decided not to push further.

He gently patted Wen Zhanyan’s head and said, “Rest early, good night.”

Wen Jin turned around and was about to leave Wen Zhanyan’s room.

Wen Zhanyan looked in the direction where Wen Jin had left, quiet for a moment, and then spoke, “Daddy, can you sleep with me tonight?”

Wen Jin was taken aback and couldn’t regain his composure for a while.

In the Wen family’s upbringing, showing such vulnerability was not allowed, and Wen Zhanyan had never mentioned it to Wen Jin before.

But now, when Wen Jin looked into Wen Zhanyan’s eyes, his heart unexpectedly softened. He muttered, “Alright.”

Although Wen Zhanyan didn’t say anything, Wen Jin could see the twinkling stars in his eyes.

So, had he overlooked Wen Zhanyan’s true needs? He provided the best material things and accompanied him, but it seemed that it couldn’t fill the void in Wen Zhanyan’s heart.

Soon, Wen Jin walked in Wen Zhanyan’s direction and accompanied him to sleep. It wasn’t until Wen Zhanyan fell asleep that Wen Jin quietly watched the little one in front of him.

It was the pride and satisfaction of being a father.

However, as he watched, Wen Jin unexpectedly saw Yu Anwan’s figure in Wen Zhanyan’s eyes. Upon realizing this, Wen Jin cursed under his breath.

He felt that Yu Anwan was a disaster, ever-present trouble.

He would never allow Yu Anwan to get closer to Wen Zhanyan.

Wen Jin’s eyes darkened, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed through them.

…

The next day, Yu Anwan struggled to get up and found herself sleeping on the couch, covered with a blanket. This made Yu Anwan feel relieved, knowing that Dabao and Xiaobao had taken care of her.

Rather than saying that Dabao and Xiaobao were her children who needed to be taken care of, Yu Anwan understood that it was always her who was being taken care of.

Yu Anwan lowered her head and glanced at her phone. It was 4:50 in the morning, and it would take a 50-minute drive to reach the Wen family’s residence.

Wen Jin, that pervert, had demanded that she arrive by 6 o’clock.

Yu Anwan knew the consequences if she was late.

Even though Yu Anwan was having a terrible headache, she still struggled to get up.

Dabao and Xiaobao were still asleep, so Yu Anwan didn’t want to disturb them. When she went to leave a message for Dabao in the kitchen, she realized that Dabao had already prepared breakfast for her.

There was even a sticky note on the refrigerator.

Yu Dabao said, “Mommy, the sandwich is in the fridge. Just microwave it for 30 seconds and remember to bring the milk too. Have breakfast and good luck!”

Yu Anwan was incredibly touched and left a message for Yu Dabao, giving him instructions on what to take care of. After heating the sandwich and milk, she hurriedly prepared to set off for the Wen family mansion.

When she reached the door, Yu Anwan noticed the prepared ferule and was taken aback for a moment.

Yu Dabao’s message was pressed under the ferule. “If the brother doesn’t behave, give him a good beating. You are his mommy, so it’s only natural to discipline him!”

Yu Anwan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and put the ferule away, deciding not to take it with her.

At least Yu Anwan couldn’t beat up Wen Zhanyan. No matter the circumstances, she was well aware of her absolute responsibility.

With a sigh, Yu Anwan quickly encouraged herself and then drove to the Wen family mansion.

At 6 a.m., Yu Anwan arrived on time.

As she approached the Wen family, Yu Anwan became unusually tense.

To her surprise, Yu Anwan didn’t see Wen Jin, but she was still cautious, fearing that Wen Jin might have some scheme against her.

Uncle Zhang explained, “Anwan, Young Master received a phone call and went out before you arrived.”

Only then did Yu Anwan relax. She waved at Uncle Zhang and naturally went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Wen Zhanyan.

Uncle Zhang watched as Yu Anwan left. He didn’t say the words that were about to come out of his mouth and left quietly.

At 7:20 in the morning, Yu Anwan was busy preparing breakfast.

“What messy stuff are you doing? It’s all dirty everywhere!” Wen Zhanyan, who seemed to have woken up at some point, stood at the kitchen door, watching Yu Anwan.

Yu Anwan turned around and blinked. She didn’t mind at all. “I’ll clean up later. Zhanyan, have breakfast first.”

“I’m not eating. I’ll get sick if I eat something made in such a dirty environment!” Wen Zhanyan’s face was filled with disgust.

He was not even willing to get close to her. His germophobia was fully displayed in an instant.

Yu Anwan was taken aback and before she could say anything, Wen Zhanyan turned around to leave.

“Zhanyan, I’ve made it again. Can you have breakfast, please?” Yu Anwan quickly caught up with him, trying to coax him.

“I’m not eating,” Wen Zhanyan said without any room for negotiation.

“Zhanyan, if you don’t have breakfast, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. You’re still growing…” Yu Anwan began to nag.

Wen Zhanyan impatiently interrupted her, “You’re annoying. If you’re going to be this noisy, then get out!”

The noisy Yu Anwan was speechless.

Sob, sob, sob. Dabao hated her nagging, and now Zhanyan hated it too.

The little boy wasn’t cute anymore. Only her adorable Xiaobao never despised her and was the best listener.

While Yu Anwan was still racking her brains, trying to figure out how to appease Wen Zhanyan and make him have breakfast, Wen Zhanyan’s anger erupted with a cold face.

“Did the Wen family invite you here to just watch the show? Can’t you even make breakfast? Why are people who are unrelated to the situation allowed in the kitchen?” Wen Zhanyan scolded, causing the previously idle servants to hurry in and start cleaning up.

With a stern expression, Wen Zhanyan continued to reprimand Yu Anwan, “Please understand your position. Do you think I’ll be moved just because you took on all the chores? Don’t delude yourself.”

After his tirade, Wen Zhanyan turned to leave.

Yu Anwan was left stunned by his words, not so much angry as surprised that Wen Zhanyan had said so much.

Uncle Zhang also witnessed the scene and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes. He had watched Wen Zhanyan grow up and knew his temper very well.

If such a situation had occurred before, Wen Zhanyan would have simply walked away without uttering another word.

But today, he was standing up for Yu Anwan. The Wen family’s servants, who had grown somewhat complacent over time, coupled with Wen Zhanyan’s difficult personality, made them eager for Yu Anwan to take charge, so they simply hid away.

Wen Zhanyan was venting his anger on behalf of Yu Anwan, he wasn’t truly angry with her.

Was this the bond between a mother and son?
