“Xiaoxun, you’re finally back!” Lu Fen welcomed Ye Shu and “Ye Xun” the moment she saw them enter.

Qi Chen avoided Lu Fen’s open hands uneasily. Then he nodded and softly said, “I’m back.”

Lu Fen stood there awkwardly and looked at Ye Shu in confusion. “What happened?”

Ye Shu shook her head and did not reply. She only asked, “Mom, have you eaten?”

Lu Fen nodded and gestured towards the kitchen.

Ellie, the nanny, immediately came out with the food.

“I’ve asked Ellie to prepare food for you guys. You haven’t eaten yet, have you?” Lu Fen said as she looked at Qi Chen who was walking towards the sofa alone.

Ye Shu looked at her son with worry but did not know how to ask.

Did she create anxiety by not answering his call? Or did something happen to him when he was out?

Ye Shu felt that beyond a temperament shift, Ye Xun had changed completely.

Ye Shu had never seen the bag that he had been hugging tightly.

Although he was wearing his usual clothes, Ye Shu always felt that Ye Xun looked different from usual. It was as if the clothes were not his!

The more Ye Shu thought about it, the stranger she felt.

But her son was born from her womb and had been by her side for five years. There was no way she would mistake someone else for him!

Could it be that Ye Xun, who had been obedient and sensible since young, was in his first rebellious phase?

Ye Shu watched “Ye Xun” walk to the dining table and obediently pick up the chopsticks to eat. Since he was willing to eat, he should be fine.

Ye Shu hesitated for a moment before picking up a piece of onion and putting it into the boy’s bowl.

Lu Fen, who was sitting at the side, saw this and wanted to stop her. However, Ye Shu turned her head and glanced at Lu Fen, signaling her not to do anything.

“Ye Xun” looked at the onion and frowned as if he was thinking about something.

Ye Shu did not rush him. Instead, she ate quietly and waited for Ye Xun’s reaction.

“Can I not eat the onion? I don’t like its taste.” he looked up and asked Ye Shu.

Although Ye Shu was surprised by her son’s polite way of asking, she felt more assured after hearing his request.

However, Ye Shu did not compromise. “You’re still growing. Onions are good for your body.”

The boy’s frown deepened. He looked at the onion as if he was staring at his father’s murderer.

After a long time, he picked up the onion and stuffed it fiercely into his mouth. Then, he stuffed another mouthful of rice into his mouth and chewed twice before swallowing.

“Ye Xun”, who thought he had finally completed his mission, heaved a sigh of relief and started eating slowly.

Ye Shu frowned slightly. Thinking about her son’s behavior which was completely different from before, she fell into deep thought.

…

After covering “Ye Xun” with the blanket, Ye Shu kissed him lightly on the forehead before leaving the room and closing the door.

“How is it? Is he asleep?” Lu Fen asked when she saw Ye Shu coming out.

Ye Shu nodded and walked towards Lu Fen. “He’s asleep. He’s probably tired and fell asleep before he finished listening to the story.”

In the past, Ye Shu would have to tell at least three or four bedtime stories before Ye Xun could fall asleep obediently.

Lu Fen heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t run out like this again.”

“You made Xiao Xun anxious…” Lu Fen continued,” If anything happens to you two, what am I going to do? “

Ye Shu sat beside Lu Fen and gently hugged her shoulders. “Mom, don’t worry. We’ll be fine!”

“Hmm…” Lu Fen replied softly before asking,” What do you plan to do about your father? “

Ye Shu paused for a moment before sighing softly. “I will think of a way!”

“Without your father, I really don’t know how I could live on. I…” As Lu Fen spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Ye Shu’s heart ached as she watched. Although she did not have any deep feelings for her father, her mother was the most important person to her.

“Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to Dad!” Ye Shu said as she hugged his mother.

Qi Chen opened his eyes in the darkness and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. He reached out and gently touched his forehead.

Qi Chen had been tired of listening to that woman’s bedtime story and found it boring, so he pretended to sleep and wanted that woman to leave as soon as possible.

However, the woman seemed to have kissed his forehead before leaving.

That feeling was not bad..
