"I know."
Ye Li nodded, then sighed sadly, "It was just a dream. He never said it again after he woke up."
Meeting the man's calm gaze, knowing he wanted to ask when this happened, Ye Li said softly, "Last time you were away on a business trip, Xiao Bao fell ill, and I stayed by his side all day."
That day, Xiao Bao scratched his hands, leaving several bloody marks, as if he were harming himself.
Even after Ye Li took him to the Lishan Mansion, she deliberately cut off Lin Kerou's contact with him.
However, no one knows what Lin Kerou said to him that Saturday.
"He called out, 'Mom...'"
As if recalling that day, Ye Li looked at him with pity, "Perhaps, there really is no child in this world who doesn't love their mother."
Fu Yanci was taken aback.
Ye Li realized almost instantly that she had made a foolish mistake.
Lin Kerou made a mistake, but she came back and was determined to make amends.
As for Fu Yanci's mother, she has been virtually missing for many years.
Compared to making a mistake, isn't the damage caused by near-abandonment and disappearance far greater?
Carefully observing Fu Yanci, Ye Li asked softly, "Have you... have you thought about her?"
Ye Li didn't specify who it was.
But Fu Yanci understood.
The temperature in the fitting room suddenly dropped a few degrees.
Fu Yanci really wanted to say no.
He was just over a year old when she abandoned him, even younger than the baby she brought back to the old house.
Since then, he hasn't seen her, let alone heard any news about her.
Apart from Fu Zhengyan's wedding photo, the Fu family had no other personal belongings related to her.
When he was little, he thought his grandmother loved him and was afraid that if he saw them, he would miss his mother, so she kept them away.
When he grew up, Fu Yanci realized that it wasn't true.
She took all her things with her.
Except for the wedding photos, which weren't something that belonged solely to her, she couldn't take them with her and left them at the Fu family's old house.
Over the years, he had wondered more than once why she had given birth to him if she didn't love him.
Until... I saw the emaciated little Bao.
Fu Yanci suddenly understood.
Not all parents in this world love their children.
Perhaps, she simply didn't love him.
Therefore, she could abandon him without hesitation, leave the capital, leave him, and go live a truly happy life that belonged to her.
"have!"
His voice was icy as Fu Yanci reached out and embraced Ye Li. "I have thought about it."
The man of yesteryear, even if his embrace wasn't scalding hot, was still warm.
And at this moment, it was cold.
Ye Li was filled with regret.
She shouldn't have asked.
Even though both Madam Fu and Fu Yanci agreed to Lin Kerou getting close to Xiaobao, they didn't actually acknowledge Lin Kerou in their hearts.
Originally, Fu Yanci just wanted to understand Xiaobao. Even though Lin Kerou had hurt him before, it was normal for a child to miss his mother, not to mention that Lin Kerou was now full of making amends.
But Ye Li forgot that when it comes to maternal love, Fu Yanci is even less capable than Xiao Bao.
"Fu Yanci, I'm sorry!"
The girl's voice was soft, filled with self-reproach.
Fu Yanci shook her head. "Ali, I know you want to say that it's normal for Xiaobao to miss his mother and dream about her. But I think I'm luckier than Xiaobao! As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather she never appeared."
Ye Li was taken aback.
Fu Yanci released his embrace, looked down into her eyes and said, "If she doesn't show up, then I... will just consider her dead. That way, she will never affect me."
Just like Xiao Bao was torn about whether or not to give Lin Kerou a chance.
I'll consider whether or not to attend her birthday party.
Or, in the future, should we forgive her?
But he didn't need to.
That person, along with her name, was already a thing of the past in his heart, and would not hold him in the slightest.
That's good.
Ye Li seemed to understand instantly.
“Fu Yanci, you have me…you have your grandmother, you have Xiaobao, and you have your mother, Aunt Lan…”
Ye Li stood on tiptoe and hugged him, patting his back gently to comfort him, "We will always be with you!"
His Ah Li.
Always like a warm little sun.
Just like when I was a child.
"good!"
Fu Yanci nodded, smiled, and hugged her.
He rubbed his chin against her neck, making her, who was ticklish, shrink her neck.
Even so, she did not let go of his arms.
Fu Yanci laughed, "Ali, we... are going to be late!"
? ? ?
She only realized later that she had wasted a lot of time choosing clothes.
The two of them started chatting amongst themselves.
Ye Li snapped out of her daze, hurriedly looked in the mirror, and grabbed Fu Yanci as they ran outside.
Behind him, Fu Yanci's gaze was warm.
The Maybach sped away and, more than half an hour later, drove into another luxury residential area.
An outdoor barbecue party was in full swing on the lawn in Dani's backyard.
The men were in charge of grilling.
The mothers are in charge of eating.
The children laughed and chased each other, ate when they were tired, and continued playing after they were full.
Carefree laughter filled the air, bringing joy to everyone who heard it.
When Ye Li talked about the Spartan adventure the next day, she realized that all the children were going to go.
"Uncle Ruizhe is leading the group. I heard he's a retired special forces soldier. We weren't originally going, but when we heard he was a special forces soldier, we figured we could enjoy the scenery and get some exercise for the kids, so I immediately agreed!"
"I looked at the schedule, three days and two nights... the first day is jungle paintball, the second day is cave treasure hunting, and the third day is picnic and camping. If I wasn't afraid of the sun, I would have gone."
