Chapter 113: He Can

"But I already said he didn't do it on purpose; why do you have to cling to that point?"

Yun Ruojin, feeling insecure, lowered her voice.

Fu Sijue jumped in, "Whether it was intentional or not doesn't matter; knowing that your guest was harassed and you still ignore it is what's truly laughable."

He said the line slowly and deliberately, leaving Yun Ruojin speechless.

"The police have already arrived; if there's anything, go tell the police," Fu Sijue said without further words, and those two simple sentences turned Yun Ruojin's face ashen.

He was willing to be the scapegoat, and Lu Xiwán felt at ease, watching Fu Sijue reprimand Yun Ruojin from the side.

She had to admit that the powerful aura around Fu Sijue was something no one could imitate.

Sensing Fu Sijue's gaze, Yun Ruojin's body stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu; we'll leave now," Lu Xiwán said stiffly, turned to look for Lu Xixi, never meeting Fu Sijue's eyes the whole time.

Lu Xixi heard Lu Xiwán's call and kept looking back at Yao Yao with a step every three strides.

"Mommy, today Brother Yao Yao helped us so much; can you hug him?" Lu Xixi whispered, holding Lu Xiwán's hand and shaking it, eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Xiwán crouched down and looked at Xixi, struggling to suppress the urge to look back.

"Mommy will thank Yao Yao properly later; Xixi, don't worry—"

Before Lu Xiwán could finish, she heard Yao Yao's soft call from behind.

"Ma…mi." Yao Yao's voice was like a mosquito; if it weren't for the surrounding silence, Lu Xiwán wouldn't have heard it.

That sound stirred a massive wave in Lu Xiwán's heart.

Her heart felt as if cut by a knife, nerves stretched to the limit.

From the first meeting until now, all the memories of these days replayed in Lu Xiwán's mind like a revolving lantern.

Lu Xiwán clenched her teeth, endured the intense pain inside, and made a decision.

She stood up quickly, turned around, and looked at Yao Yao not far away.

Yao Yao's thin body, upon close inspection, seemed still trembling slightly, head bowed, thoughts unreadable.

A prolonged pain is worse than a short one; some words still need to be clarified now.

"Yao Yao, be good, you must listen to Daddy's words. I'm not your mommy; you should call me Auntie."

Lu Xiwán's voice was gentle.

Yao Yao merely buried his head deeper, standing there without a word.

"Miss Xi, don't you still not understand Yao Yao?"

"What he has decided cannot be changed by a sentence or two," Fu Sijue said as he walked to Lu Xiwán's side, his gaze heavy on Yao Yao.

"Zhong Yun should have told you today."

"Yao Yao hasn't eaten all day, but after seeing the message Xixi sent, he immediately asked to come with me. To keep you from worrying, Yao Yao even agreed to eat on the way."

This child has a delicate seven‑orifice heart, his whole mind and eyes fixed on Lu Xiwán.

Even Fu Sijue couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

"Miss Xi, Yao Yao can't be without your care," Fu Sijue said in a low voice, hoping Lu Xiwán would stay.

It was all for Yao Yao.

"Yes, Mommy, can you really bear to abandon Brother Yao Yao?"

Lu Xixi understood Fu Sijue's meaning, cooperated fully, ran to Yao Yao's side, grabbed his hand, and together they walked to Lu Xiwán's front.

The two little bundles looked at Lu Xiwán with eager faces; she didn't know how to refuse.

"Mr. Fu, I can't…"

"Even for Yao Yao, you still can't?" Fu Sijue said, cutting her off before she could finish.
