Probably, no one would believe that although Yu Anwan was a mother, she didn’t take care of her two children much, except when they were very young.
Later on, it was Yu Dabao who acted more like an adult, always caring about Yu Anwan’s emotions and daily life, especially after her surgery.
Yu Xiaobao may appear innocent, but she would willingly listen without making a fuss if you talked to her nicely.
“Good babies, it’s not necessary. You should rest early.” Yu Anwan didn’t want to burden Yu Dabao with these tasks so late at night. “Let Auntie take care of it. As for you both, go to sleep. We’ll head to the capital early tomorrow.”
Yu Dabao fell silent, exchanging a glance with Yu Xiaobao.
Immediately, Yu Xiaobao approached Yu Anwan, asking, “Mommy, are you going to the capital for great-grandfather’s surgery?”
This form of address stunned Yu Anwan for a moment before she realized that Yu Xiaobao was referring to Wen Zhanming.
This time, Yu Anwan quickly denied it. “No, it’s not for that. Mommy has other things to attend to in the capital, but I’m worried about leaving you two in Jiang City, so I decided to take you along since you’re also on vacation.”
Yu Xiaobao’s face fell after hearing this response.
Yu Dabao looked at Yu Xiaobao, who quickly pulled himself together and stared at Yu Anwan.
Yu Anwan’s head was a little groggy and she didn’t notice the interaction between the two children at all. Looking at Yu Xiaobao’s expression, she naturally thought that Yu Xiaobao was probably a little angry because she hadn’t seen her for too long.
Yu Anwan walked toward Yu Xiaobao and suggested, “Xiaobao, would you like Mommy to accompany you upstairs to sleep?”
Yu Xiaobao shook her head, looking at Yu Anwan seriously. Now, Yu Anwan realized something and remained silent.
“Mommy…” Yu Xiaobao softly called out.
“What do you want to tell Mommy?” Yu Anwan looked at Yu Xiaobao seriously.
Though Yu Xiaobao loved to act coquettishly, Yu Anwan could tell when she was being playful and when she wanted to discuss something important.
Yet, it was rare for Yu Xiaobao to initiate a discussion.
“I want you to perform surgery on great-grandfather!” Yu Xiaobao said earnestly, without hesitation.
Yu Anwan furrowed her brows.
Her first thought was that Wen Jin, that despicable man, might have threatened Yu Xiaobao. Otherwise, why would Yu Xiaobao suddenly bring up the idea of operating on Wen Zhanming?
Yu Xiaobao never interfered with her work affairs.
“Xiaobao, what happened?” Yu Anwan’s tone turned serious as she looked at Yu
Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao smacked her lips, not avoiding Yu Anwan’s gaze.
Her little mouth opened and closed, and her crying tone became more apparent as she spoke.
“Mommy, you can’t implicate innocent people just because you have some deep grudge with Daddy.” Yu Xiaobao reasoned with both logic and emotion.
Yu Anwan listened, and her brow furrowed in response.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaobao spoke rapidly, leaving no room for Yu Anwan to interject.
“That person is our great-grandfather! And Mommy doesn’t know yet?
Great-grandfather got into trouble because he was protecting Brother Zhanyan. If mommy couldn’t save great-grandfather, who knows what those people in the Wen family would do to Brother Zhanyan.”
Yu Xiaobao huffed and mimicked a sarcastic tone, saying, “Wen Zhanyan, you’re the murderer. Wen Zhanyan, you’re a jinx. If not for you, Grandpa wouldn’t have died. Wen Zhanyan, you’re just a burden, and you shouldn’t be alive…”
Even her tone was skillfully sharp.
Listening to Yu Xiaobao’s words, Yu Anwan’s scalp tingled.
Yu Dabao quietly gave Yu Xiaobao a thumbs-up.
Yu Xiaobao winked back at Yu Dabao, continuing to chatter non-stop,
“Mommy, don’t you think Brother Zhanyan is so pitiful?”
Yu Anwan didn’t reply, but her expression showed that she was deep in thought.
This was something Yu Anwan genuinely didn’t know, that Wen Zhanming’s accident was related to Wen Zhanyan.
“If mommy can bring Brother Zhanyan back, then whether great-grandfather lives or dies won’t matter anymore. But if mommy doesn’t get him back, won’t Brother Zhanyan grow up in this constant fear?” Yu Xiaobao’s eyes widened.
In the next moment, she shivered, acting terrified. “That’s truly frightening!”
Each word from Yu Xiaobao weighed on Yu Anwan’s heart.
And she knew all too well about the people in the Wen family.
Wen Zhanyan was just a six-year-old child, so why should he have to face these vicious family members?
Furthermore, Yu Anwan was well aware that Wen Zhanming had indeed treated her well during the three years she spent in the Wen family. Her anger was not directed at Wen Zhanming but at Wen Jin.
If necessary, Yu Anwan wanted to use the surgery as leverage to negotiate with Wen Jin for the return of Wen Zhanyan.
During her trip to the capital, Yu Anwan had indeed thought about this matter.
However, given the current situation, she was afraid of stirring up more trouble, so she naturally avoided bringing it up.
Now, as she listened to Yu Xiaobao’s tearful voice, Yu Anwan closed her eyes slightly.
In her mind’s eye, she saw Wen Zhanyan’s stubborn face, refusing to bow down. She could even imagine the scene where Wen Zhanyan was surrounded by those people.
Yu Anwan’s heart tightened with guilt.
She couldn’t bear to see her son suffer like this.
“Mommy?” Yu Xiaobao called out in a sweet and tender voice to Yu Anwan.
Yu Dabao raised an eyebrow and spoke directly, “Mommy, don’t say one thing and do another. You can’t bear to see Brother Zhanyan suffer and take the blame.”
His words struck home.
Yu Anwan glared at Yu Dabao and said, “Yu Dabao, you think you know everything!”
Yu Dabao shrugged, seemingly unfazed.
Yu Anwan snorted and then looked down at the adorable Yu Xiaobao in front of her. “Mommy will think about it. This matter is quite complicated. Let’s carefully consider how to handle it to ensure everything goes smoothly, alright?”
“Okay,” Yu Xiaobao replied with determination.
After that, Yu Xiaobao happily held Yu Dabao’s hand and went upstairs.
Yu Anwan watched the two little ones leave and sighed silently.
This matter was more than just troublesome.
With Wen Zhanyan now involved, her proactive position seemed to have become passive. She didn’t want to entangle herself with Wen Jin, but circumstances forced her into it.
If Wen Jin knew her secret, who knew what else might happen?
Why was it that her only wish when she returned to the country was to get her child back? Now, she was entangled with her ex-husband.
Yu Anwan felt a headache coming on.
Nevertheless, it seemed that this matter was inevitable and had to be dealt with..
