Feng Xiaochen’s eyes widened. He remained silent and looked at her blankly. His gaze never left Yu Fei, not even blinking.

“Xiaochcn?” Seeing that the little fellow was not speaking, Yu Fei was a little worried. “Are you feeling unwell? Tell Mommy quickly. We’ll call the doctor over to take a look at you, okay?”

Feng Xiaochcn stared at her blankly for a long time before saying, “Mommy, am I dreaming?”

Yu Fei was stunned.

The childish but slightly hoarse voice continued, “Daddy said that Mommy will never come back. I’m so sad. Mommy, you promised Xiaochcn that you would always be by my side. You’re lying. Does Mommy not like Xiaochen anymore? Does she not want Xiaochen anymore?”

The more the little guy spoke, the more aggrieved he became. His eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes.

Seeing the little guy’s aggrieved look, Yu Fei’s heart almost broke. “No, it’s not that Mommy doesn’t want Xiaochen.”

She got up and sat on the bed. She pulled Feng Xiaochen into her arms and patted his head comfortingly. “Xiaochen, you’re so obedient. How can Mommy not want you?”

Feng Xiaochcn buried his head in her arms. “Mommy, don’t leave me again, okay?” He sniffled and opened his big teary eyes. He looked at Yu Fei pitifully, and the tip of his nose was red. “Xiaochen doesn’t want Mommy to leave.”

With that, he opened his arms and hugged Yu Fei tightly.

The little guy was still sick. His fever had just subsided, and he had not eaten for two days. He did not have much strength at all, but even so, he still hugged Yu Fei and refused to let go. He was afraid that she would leave if he let go.

Yu Fei’s heart ached for the little guy even more when he looked so scared and insecure. She caressed his head over and over again and hugged him tightly in her arms. After not seeing him for two days, she felt that Feng Xiaochcn had lost weight again. His originally soft little body was a little painful to hold.

“Mommy, don’t leave me, okay?” Feng Xiaochen begged softly, his tender voice filled with attachment to her. “When you weren’t around, no one made chicken wings for Xiaochen anymore. No one coaxed me to take my medicine and sleep anymore. Xiaochen is so pitiful.”

Although she knew that the little guy was acting pitiful, Yu Fei’s heart ached. She said without thinking, “Mommy won’t leave again. Mommy will always be by Xiaochen’s side in the future.”

After she finished speaking, she felt a gaze from behind her that was filled with an unknown meaning. Yu Fei did not care about how Feng Yi looked at her anymore. She no longer cared if people said that she was shameless, or she just wanted to stay in the Feng family, or that she was using Feng Xiaochen as an excuse to stay by Feng Yi’s side. Anyway, she could no longer ignore Feng Xiaochen.

She lowered her head and kissed Feng Xiaochen’s forehead again and again. She held his little face and said softly, “What does Xiaochen want to eat? Mommy will make it for you now.”

Her heart ached when she thought about how Feng Xiaochen had not eaten for two days.

“How about roasted chicken wings?” Feng Xiaochen said as he stole a glance at Feng Yi.

“Mommy will cook some porridge for you, okay? Roasted chicken wings are too oily. You’re still sick. It’s not good to eat too much oily food. When you’re better, Mommy will make it for you immediately.”

Feng Xiaochen did not insist and nodded obediently. “Alright.”

Feng Yi watched Yu Fei pacify Feng Xiaochen with mixed feelings. Judging from Feng Xiaochen’s performance, he could not leave Yu Fei at all. After two days of hunger strike, no one could persuade him no matter how hard they tried. As for Yu Fei, the little guy did not need to be coaxed at all. He was obedient.

“Then lie down properly. Mommy will go and cook now.” Yu Fei patted his head and got up to leave, but her arm was suddenly hugged.

Feng Xiaochen looked at her uneasily. “Mommy, are you really not going to leave again?”

“I won’t.” Yu Fei extended three fingers and said solemnly, “Mommy swears, I won’t leave.”

Feng Xiaochen blinked and bit his lip. He still looked at her uneasily, as if he was hesitating whether to believe her words.

Yu Fei did not leave either. She looked at him gently. “Don’t you believe Mommy anymore?”

“Daddy, is Mommy really not going to leave again?” Feng Xiaochen looked up at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi’s heart had already softened. He regretted it the moment Feng Xiaochen fainted. He regretted using the standards of an adult to demand of his son. He even regretted watching him starve for two days in order to get rid of Feng Xiaochen’s so-called bad habit. Looking at his son’s eager and pleading eyes, he bent down and patted Feng Xiaochen’s head. He nodded and said, “Yes, she won’t leave.”

Feng Xiaochen was finally relieved after receiving Feng Yi’s assurance. He slowly let go of his hand and a happy smile appeared on his pale face..
