Chapter 45: The Truth of That Year

Jiang Baobao's nose suddenly felt sour, and a tear, caught off guard, rolled down from her eye socket just like that.

The two little ones were immediately startled.

"Mommy! Don't cry! This is a happy thing!"

Mobai urged her while quickly grabbing a tissue from the side.

Yanbao's little face also looked a bit panicked, and he followed up to comfort her: "Mommy, it's my fault, I should have told you sooner... please don't cry..."

Jiang Baobao looked at the nervousness on one little darling's face and the guilt on the other's, and her tears flowed like beads from a broken string, unable to stop.

"Mommy..."

Mobai and Yanbao obediently held her hands, and the two of them leaned into her embrace together.

Jiang Baobao shook her head, wanting to speak, but when she opened her mouth, not a single word came out.

Her greatest regret was that the little one back then had not survived.

Yet she never expected that, after so many years, he had actually grown up safe and sound!

"Mommy, don't cry anymore. Seeing you cry like this, Yanbao and I both feel so heartbroken..."

Seeing that Jiang Baobao could not stop crying, Mobai could not help but pout his little mouth as well.

Jiang Baobao squeezed the little hands of the two little ones, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Her thoughts also gradually calmed down.

So, for all these years, he had been by Li Beijue's side.

No wonder Li Beijue did not pursue it at all after she took him out of the Li Mansion.

It turned out that there was another little one who had cleverly taken his place!

And that figure she saw that day was also...

Jiang Baobao quickly sorted through all the doubts she had had during this time, her heart feeling sour, swollen, and completely full.

The next second, she saw the two little ones holding up tissues, carefully wiping the tear stains on her face.

"You two..."

She reached out and rubbed the little heads of the two little ones, looking at their two identical smiling faces, feeling it was unbelievable for a moment.

"Mommy, you aren't angry with us, are you?" Yanbao asked tentatively, fearing that Jiang Baobao was unhappy.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly shook her head: "How could Mommy be angry? I'm overjoyed..."

Thinking about how it had been Yanbao by her side all these days, Jiang Baobao felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.

Is this the bond between mother and son?

Although she hadn't seen Yanbao for years, as soon as they were together, there wasn't the slightest bit of discomfort.

He felt the same way about her...

As Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she suddenly heard Mobai say loudly: "Mommy has a very good temper! She wouldn't get angry that easily!"

She nearly laughed out loud, looked at the little ones on her left and right, and said softly: "Let's sit down first; we can chat while we eat."

"Okay!"

Little Mobai raised both hands in agreement; having been hungry for a long time, he immediately sat down on the side.

Yanbao also obediently sat back in his seat, his big eyes fixed on Jiang Baobao the whole time.

The dishes ordered by the group were soon served, and a certain little one, having been hungry for a long time, immediately began to eat regardless of his image.

"Mobai, slow down, be careful not to choke..."

Jiang Baobao worriedly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, then turned her head to see Yanbao eating in small bites, focused and without making a single sound.

Jiang Baobao blinked, feeling a bit subtle.

They were clearly two identical children...

She hadn't noticed anything before, but now that they were together, she could see that their personalities were quite different.

Mobai was usually jumping around, while Yanbao was very well-behaved; presumably, Li Beijue was usually very strict with him...

As the man's stern face appeared in her mind, Jiang Baobao's expression suddenly tightened.

Why exactly was Yanbao taken away by him?

Could it be that he bribed the Doctor at the time?

No...

Li Beijue couldn't have just kept Yanbao!

There must be something in between that she didn't know about!

Jiang Baobao's thoughts returned to six years ago, but she could not figure it out no matter what.

The two little ones also put down their chopsticks and looked at her with concern.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Mobai asked, puzzled.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and hurriedly shook her head: "It's nothing, Mommy was just thinking about something."

She casually found an excuse and looked at Yanbao on the side: "Yanbao, can you tell Mommy about your life over these past few years?"

"Mm-hmm!" Yanbao was naturally willing and nodded immediately.

Yet for a moment, he didn't know where to begin.

Yanbao thought for a moment, then slowly explained: "Mommy, I've been by Daddy's side since I was little. Daddy is very good to me, and he will agree to any request I have..."

Jiang Baobao listened silently, and hearing how Li Beijue treated Yanbao, she felt much more relaxed.

It seems that guy wasn't as bad as she had imagined...

At the very least, he was very good to Yanbao.

After briefly understanding Yanbao's life, Jiang Baobao saw a conflicted look appear on Yanbao's little face.

Yanbao looked at Jiang Baobao with a hesitant expression, as if debating whether to continue speaking.

Jiang Baobao had also lived with him for a period of time, and seeing this expression on his face, she hurriedly said, "Baby, if you have anything you want to say, just say it directly. Mommy won't be angry."

Yanbao nodded, then asked in a low voice, "Mommy, are you really going back abroad? Can you stay?"

He had finally asked the question he was most worried about.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and for a moment, she felt a bit uneasy.

When she promised Li Beijue, she hadn't thought about all this at all.

If it weren't for this matter, wouldn't these two little ones have revealed their identities to her today?

Jiang Baobao's silence made Yanbao feel a bit panicked.

He put down his chopsticks, jumped straight off his chair, and grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand.

Yanbao didn't say a single word, just stared firmly at Jiang Baobao with his big eyes, his eyes filled with reluctance to part.

Mobai also dropped his chopsticks and ran over, grabbing Jiang Baobao's hand and acting spoiled, "Mommy, do we really have to go back? Didn't you say before that you would stay longer this time! I finally met Yanbao, and I don't want to be separated from him yet!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Of course, she didn't want to be separated from Yanbao either!

This little one had been through so much, and it had been so hard for them to finally recognize each other...

"Mommy..."

The two adorable babies spoke at the same time, their tones filled with a sense of pleading.

Jiang Baobao's heart suddenly ached, instantly melting into a puddle of water.

She took a deep breath and said aloud, "Mommy isn't leaving, you can rest assured."

"Really?"

Yanbao's face was instantly filled with surprise, his eyes carrying a hint of disbelief and caution.

Stung in the heart by his expression, Jiang Baobao nodded repeatedly and said, "Really, when has Mommy ever lied to you? Alright, go back and eat your meal obediently."

Mobai and Yanbao instantly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats.

Jiang Baobao looked at the two little ones, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

She was serious.

No matter what, she had to stay and properly make it up to Yanbao!
