Chapter 207: Determined to Oppose You

Lu Xiwán saw Yao Yao at home again.

But this time, her mood was complicated.

Regarding Fu Sijue's explanation of Yao Yao's background, Lu Xiwán believed it without doubt.

"Why did you bring Yao Yao's older brother home again?"

Lu Xiwán deliberately kept her distance from Fu Sijue, so she also reduced contact with Yao Yao.

"It was I who asked the nanny Auntie to bring me back. I heard little Xi Xi say Mommy was very sad last night, so I couldn't bear leaving Mommy and wanted to come see."

Yao Yao's face looks too much like Fu Sijue's; now he is another man's child, and Lu Xiwán felt a mix of emotions.

She gently patted Yao Yao's little head and, with a hard heart, said, "I'm fine, but if Yao Yao keeps coming to Auntie's place, Daddy will worry."

Both little sweeties keenly noticed her calling herself Auntie; Yao Yao's complexion instantly turned pale, and he grabbed Lu Xiwán's sleeve.

"Mommy doesn't want Yao Yao anymore?"

His cautious demeanor made Lu Xiwán's heart ache as if pricked by a needle.

But how could she explain all this to a child?

"It's not that I don't want Yao Yao, it's just..." Lu Xiwán's words were cut off as a chill brushed the back of her hand.

Yao Yao hung his head, tears pattering down from his eyes, stubbornly clinging to Lu Xiwán and refusing to let go.

"Yao Yao is very well-behaved..."

That single sentence blocked all the explanations Lu Xiwán had prepared, and Yao Yao's fragile demeanor made her heart ache.

"Yao Yao really is well-behaved, please don't abandon me, Mommy, okay?"

Having lacked motherly love since childhood, Yao Yao felt the sensation of being loved for the first time through Lu Xiwán's presence.

Xi Xi, watching from the side, couldn't hold back either and pleaded for Yao Yao, "Mommy, say something."

A single tear kept swirling in Lu Xiwán's eyes; after a long pause she compromised, sighed, crouched down and looked earnestly at Yao Yao, "First, I'll call Daddy and have him bring you back, okay?"

Yao Yao shook his head, keeping his gaze lowered away from Lu Xiwán's eyes.

Lu Xiwán straightened his body, "Mommy promises that whenever Yao Yao wants to see me, it can be anytime, anywhere, okay?"

This was the last thing Lu Xiwán could do for Yao Yao.

Only then did Yao Yao lift his head, a foggy bewilderment spreading in his eyes; when he spoke, Lu Xiwán keenly noticed his voice already tinged with a clear sob.

Lu Xiwán was startled; after such a long period of treatment, the child still couldn't break the habit of bottling everything inside.

"Then is Mommy still Yao Yao's Mommy?" Yao Yao looked at Lu Xiwán expectantly, the light in his eyes impossible for her to ignore.

She nodded seriously, and Lu Xiwán also apologized to Yao Yao for her behavior, "Mommy will never say such things again; Yao Yao, will you forgive me?"

Receiving Lu Xiwán's affirmative reply, Yao Yao nodded vigorously, and his mood finally improved.

When Luo Zhou pushed the door open, he saw Lu Xiwán holding Yao Yao and was immediately a bit puzzled.

Lu Xiwán released Yao Yao and turned to look at Xi Xi.

"In the future, you mustn't take Yao Yao away early; Uncle Fu will worry at home. I'll first take Yao Yao back with Uncle Luo, and you can play at home for a while."

Lu Xiwán packed her things and left with Yao Yao; Luo Zhou walked ahead and thoughtfully opened the car door for them.

"Why did you come find me today?" Lu Xiwán said, sitting in the passenger seat, looking at Luo Zhou with puzzlement.

"There's nothing much at the company today; I originally planned to take you and Xi Xi out for a meal."
