Chapter 117: Who Gave You That Privilege

"Do you think that by doing this, it's a good thing for this child?"

"Wanwan, open your eyes and look, this child treats you as a real mother!"

"Is letting him suffer the pain of a loved one leaving again later really better than now?"

Zhong Yun dared not agree with Lu Xiwán's opinion.

Even if we really have to hurt this child, once is enough.

Why give him a fleeting illusion?

In the end, when the dream shatters, he still has nothing.

"For the Fu Family, for this child, do you really intend to sacrifice your entire life here?"

"You can't bear to lose the child, but can you bear to throw yourself into a fire pit?"

Zhong Yun, looking as if he resented being as useless as iron that won't become steel, muttered in a low, gritted voice.

If the two children weren't still watching, Zhong Yun would have given Lu Xiwán a proper reprimand regardless of what he said.

"At that time I was only thinking about saving the person; there was no room for any other thoughts in my mind."

"Senior Brother, shouldn't you know better than I do?"

"When the right moment arrives, I will let go; let Yao Yao get accustomed for a while first."

Her words were completely perfunctory.

Zhong Yun could tell without even having to examine closely.

"You can't do it," he said after looking at Lu Xiwán for a long time.

Lu Xiwán tilted her head, smiling brightly, with no trace of fear on her face, "As long as Senior Brother is here, I don't need to worry about setting things right."

After saying that, both fell silent.

Lu Xiwán shifted her gaze back to the two children.

If only it could stay like this forever.

Xi Xi was the first to run out of the exit, her little face flushed, "Mommy, I just saw an ice cream stand over there; can I have one today?"

Finishing her sentence, Xi Xi extended a tiny finger, her big eyes full of pleading, "Just a small one."

Lu Xiwán truly couldn't ignore Xi Xi's expectant gaze.

She shook her head helplessly, "Since you and Yao Yao have both gotten tired from playing, I'll make an exception and let you have one today."

Xi Xi cheered excitedly, hopping on her short legs toward the ice cream stall.

All along, Yao Yao quietly watched, holding Lu Xiwán's hand.

Zhong Yun found it pitiful to watch.

Lu Xiwán handed Yao Yao an ice cream, smiling as she patted his little head.

Yao Yao, flattered and surprised, carefully cradled the ice cream and licked a bite, his eyes filled with joy.

The ice cream from Mommy is so sweet.

Seeing Yao Yao's cautious expression, Lu Xiwán's face turned complex.

This child... is still scared.

A sourness welled at the corner of her eye; Lu Xiwán lifted her head and blinked.

When she turned back, she met Zhong Yun's gaze.

He watched the scene calmly, his expression seeming to say, "You just can't let go."

Lu Xiwán felt even more uncomfortable, a swelling pain in her chest.

Fu Clan.

Fu Sijue had just finished a video conference when the office door was suddenly opened.

"A Jue, are you still busy?"

Yun Ruojin wore a gentle smile and hurried in.

A draft through the hall carried a strong, pungent perfume, heading straight for Fu Sijue's face.

He frowned displeased, "What are you doing here? How did you get up?"

"Grandpa Fu gave me the elevator card so I can come up often to see you,"

Fu Sijue's eyes darkened, but Yun Ruojin seemed oblivious, sitting directly on the sofa, "You're busy; I'll wait here for you to finish work."

Finishing, Yun Ruojin casually crossed her legs.
