Wen Jin was momentarily taken aback by Yu Xiaobao’s excitement. He did not understand why Yu Xiaobao was so agitated.
Upon opening the room’s door, Wen Jin couldn’t help but notice that the predominant color scheme was blue. It was clear that this wasn’t a girl’s room, yet it also wasn’t a typical guest room.
It appeared to be a young boy’s room.
After all, Wen Jin’s family also had Wen Zhanyan.
There were some similarities between boys.
However, this type of room could be explained in most situations, but in Yu Anwan’s case, it was somewhat inexplicable.
“Whose room is this?” Wen Jin cautiously inquired of Yu Xiaobao. Yu Xiaobao blinked at Wen Jin and thought for a moment. “Brother’s room.”
“Your mommy has another son?” Wen Jin narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, but I haven’t seen what my brother looks like. I’ve never met him before.
That room has always been empty,” Yu Xiaobao claimed as if it were the truth, although she was making it up.
“What does that mean?” Wen Jin’s brow furrowed even further.
“Because Mommy said that brother will come back sooner or later, so she prepared a room for him in advance,” Yu Xiaobao stated with earnest nodding.
Then, she let out a heavy cough to emphasize her current discomfort.
Wen Jin snapped out of his thoughts after hearing Yu Xiaobao’s words. He immediately understood that when Yu Xiaobao mentioned “brother”, she was referring to Wen Zhanyan.
Wen Jin sneered inwardly.
Yu Anwan had thought this through quite thoroughly. Was she that confident that Wen Zhanyan would return? Even a room had been prepared for him.
Dream on!
However, in front of Yu Xiaobao, Wen Jin didn’t say much.
Yu Xiaobao pointed toward the room across the hallway. “Uncle, my room is over there.”
“Alright,” Wen Jin responded.
He carried Yu Xiaobao into her room. Yu Xiaobao promptly closed the door, grabbed her clothes, and headed towards the bathroom. “Uncle, I’ll be quick,” Yu Xiaobao reassured Wen Jin.
“Do you need my help?” Wen Jin asked naturally.
“No, it’s okay,” Yu Xiaobao shook her head. “Mommy said I have to do things on my own.”
Wen Jin nodded and observed Yu Xiaobao. Undeniably, Yu Anwan had taught Yu Xiaobao well.
Yu Xiaobao rushed towards the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom door, she tilted her head and peeked out from behind it, waving energetically at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin couldn’t help but be amused by Yu Xiaobao’s demeanor.
This time, the young girl vanished like a wisp of smoke.
Wen Jin stood in Yu Xiaobao’s room and looked around. It was a very princess-like and dreamy room. Wen Jin didn’t think much of it, but he vaguely understood that girls liked this kind of decor.
In his memories, Wen Jin recalled that even though Yu Anwan lived in their master bedroom at his place, she still managed to infuse it with a hint of a young girl’s atmosphere.
Bright and sunny.
This sudden thought made Wen Jin chuckle to himself, tinged with self-mockery.
But ultimately, Wen Jin didn’t say anything and simply patiently waited for Yu Xiaobao.
Suddenly, Wen Jin’s brows furrowed. Without hesitation, he turned and walked out because he had heard footsteps outside. Wen Jin had excellent hearing, and
he could perceive even the slightest sounds.
Who could be inside Yu Anwan’s villa?
Wen Jin’s expression darkened.
However, as Wen Jin walked out of Yu Xiaobao’s room, there was no sign of any movement in the corridor. He stood there silently.
The voice did not reappear.
There were no visible changes in any of the rooms.
Wen Jin stood there for a moment.
“Uncle?” Yu Xiaobao, unable to find Wen Jin after changing, began to look anxious, fearing that Wen Jin might have discovered something.
“Done?” Wen Jin asked when he finally saw Yu Xiaobao.
“Done,” Yu Xiaobao nodded earnestly.
Wen Jin grunted and picked up Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao happily let herself be held by Wen Jin, her chubby hands wrapped around his neck.
“Uncle, when you hold me like this, it feels like Daddy holding me,” she remarked.
“Your daddy?” Wen Jin paused for a moment, then asked, “Why isn’t your daddy coming?”
Yu Xiaobao’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, as if she might burst into tears any moment.
Seeing her like this, Wen Jin’s heart ached, and he mentally cursed Zhou Shen multiple times.
He suddenly felt that sending Zhou Shen back to the capital was letting him off too easily. In Jiang City, he should have given Zhou Shen a good beating.
Hehe, until even his father couldn’t recognize Zhou Shen.
Yu Xiaobao continued, her voice filled with sadness, “Because Daddy and Mommy had a fight, and Daddy didn’t want Mommy anymore, so I’ve never had a Daddy.”
When she looked so upset, it was impossible to say anything harsh to Yu Xiaobao.
The more heartbroken Yu Xiaobao appeared, the more Wen Jin cursed Zhou Shen in his heart.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Zhou Shen felt his ears burning. Even though he was confined, he still felt suffocated, as if he could be killed at any moment.
Zhou Shen shivered in fear.
Back in Jiang City, Wen Jin held Yu Xiaobao close, allowing her to rest on his shoulder.
“Xiaobao is so cute, it’s your daddy’s loss for not recognizing it. The next time Uncle sees your daddy, I’ll help you give him a good beating. We don’t need someone like that,” Wen Jin comforted.
Yu Xiaobao looked at Wen Jin with a complicated expression. In truth, she
didn’t think her daddy needed to be so harsh, did he?
But right now, Yu Xiaobao didn’t dare to voice these thoughts.
“Don’t cry,” Wen Jin said gently. Seeing that Yu Xiaobao still didn’t look up, he felt even more compassionate.
“Uncle, can you be my daddy?” Yu Xiaobao asked with a pout.
This question immediately silenced Wen Jin. Logically, he should have refused Yu Xiaobao immediately, but he hesitated.
Wen Jin couldn’t answer his question. Was he hesitating because of Yu Xiaobao, because he couldn’t refuse her, or because this person was Yu Anwan?
When this idea suddenly entered his mind, Wen Jin was surprised. However, the surprise felt oddly calm, as if he didn’t dislike the idea that much.
“Uncle, are you unwilling?” Yu Xiaobao asked, looking at Wen Jin with a sad expression.
Wen Jin smiled at Yu Xiaobao. “Xiaobao, this question should be asked of your mommy, not uncle.”
Yu Xiaobao responded with an “oh” and didn’t press further.
Wen Jin carried Yu Xiaobao and headed out of the villa. However, as the two of them left, Wen Jin caught a glimpse of a small figure passing by him from the corner of his eye. He even had the strange sensation that this figure overlapped with Wen Zhanyan..
