"I'm here to see Lil Yan. After all, he's my son, isn't he?" Ye Wenming said lightly.
She immediately had mixed feelings. He said it so naturally. It was just like when he said he would abort the child if she was pregnant!
However, she did not want her son to see their disputes.
"Lil Yan, let's go," said Zhuo Qianyun. She had to take her son back to her mother because she needed to set up her stall later.
The little one said, "Daddy said he'll send us home today."
Zhuo Qianyun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but what Ye Wenming said next seemed to stop everything she wanted to say.
"Do you want Daddy to send you home, Lil Yan?"
"Yes," Lil Yan answered with his childish voice, sounding innocent and joyful.
Zhuo Qianyun looked at the happy expression on her son's face, gritted her teeth, and said nothing.
Many parents who came to pick up their children at the kindergarten’s gates were looking their way. Ye Wenming's glamor and Zhuo Qianyun's abjection formed a sharp contrast.
It was as if they were not supposed to stand together at all.
Zhuo Qianyun was not used to the attention, or rather, she did not enjoy being watched by so many people since her release from prison! She was worried that the fact she had been to prison would reflect badly on her son if people knew.
"Then… let's go!" Zhuo Qianyun hurriedly said with her head down.
"Mommy, is Daddy really my daddy?" The little one's clear voice rang in the car.
It might sound strange, but Zhuo Qianyun understood what her son meant.
Looking at the longing in her son's eyes, she knew that he longed for a father. Whenever he saw someone playing with their father, Lil Yan would look wistful.
She still remembered when Yiran's former colleague, Guo Xinli, took Lil Yan to the amusement park with Yiran last time. Lil Yan had talked about how Uncle Guo gave him a ride on his shoulder, took him to play darts, and held him up to look at the amusement park's cartoon animal parade. He spoke about it for a long time after returning home.
Even though she tried hard to wear two hats as both father and mother all these years and give all her love to the child, some things could not be replaced.
Just like... a child's longing for a father.
