Chapter 200 Send him back to the Yun family
Yun Yancheng seemed to be concentrating on building Lego, but he was secretly keeping an eye on Yun Zheng out of the corner of his eye.
After making sure she was far away, he spoke, his voice as thin and weak as a newborn kitten, "Brother-in-law..."
Fu Linghe's fingers paused slightly, and the red Lego piece circled on his fingertips. He lowered his eyes and looked at the little boy in front of him who was pretending to be mature.
Yun Yancheng's eyes were filled with a seriousness that was inconsistent with his age, and there were still traces of tears on his eyelashes.
"Thank you for taking such good care of my sister." He spoke slowly, enunciating each word carefully, fearing that he might not express himself clearly.
The little boy shifted uneasily, his fingers picking at the pile of the carpet unconsciously.
His voice became increasingly quiet, choking with sobs. "Before Yun Ruzhu came back, my sister and I were very happy. She would tell me stories every night, and there was never any unpleasantness at home."
As he spoke, he suddenly became excited and clenched his hands into fists. "But after she came back, everyone in the family sided with Yun Ruzhu and bullied Sister Zheng Zheng! I wanted to protect her, but I was still young and had no ability to do so."
A teardrop "plop" fell on the Lego bricks. Yun Yancheng hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, but ended up making the bricks even more messy.
He cried, "They all said she wasn't my real sister, that Yun Ruzhu was my real sister, but..."
Yun Yancheng lowered his head, his voice trembling with muffled emotion, "I don't want to recognize anyone else as my sister. I only have one sister, Sister Zheng Zheng."
He suddenly raised his head, and his big wet eyes flashed with stubbornness.
Yun Yancheng looked straight at Fu Linghe in front of him, stretched out his little finger, and raised it stubbornly in front of Fu Linghe, "Promise me, okay? If one day you don't want to be nice to my sister anymore."
His little mouth pursed, trying hard not to cry, "You...you shouldn't bully her like they did and make her suffer."
A gust of wind suddenly blew past the window, and the petals of the winter cherry blossoms rustled against the glass, as if pink snow had fallen.
Fu Linghe's Adam's apple rolled, and a dark light flashed in his deep eyes.
He slowly put down the Lego parts in his hand, and his big, bony hands gently wrapped around Yun Yancheng's trembling little hands.
"Acheng." His voice was as deep as the strings of a cello, carrying undeniable power. "Look at me."
Yun Yancheng raised his tearful little face and looked seriously into Fu Linghe's eyes.
"I promise you that I will never let your sister suffer any injustice again in my life." Fu Linghe's voice was very soft, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Yun Yancheng's heart.
The little boy's tears suddenly burst out, and fell down in big drops, hitting the two people's clasped hands.
"Really...really?" Yun Yancheng asked with sobs, holding Fu Linghe's hand tightly with her little hand, as if grabbing the last straw.
"Of course it's true. I will never break my promise to you."
Fu Linghe reached out and rubbed his little head, his tone softer than usual. "Protecting your sister is our common goal. You must study hard and become an excellent knight to protect the princess."
Yun Yancheng nodded seriously, "I will definitely work hard."
"Well, brother-in-law believes you." Fu Linghe patiently replied to the child, "This is a secret between you and me, you can't let your sister know~"
Yun Yancheng nodded hurriedly, and a smile finally appeared on his little face.
When Yun Zheng came out of the kitchen, she saw Yun Yancheng and Fu Linghe huddled in front of Lego, seemingly discussing something in a low voice. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
She walked over with a smile, "What are you two talking about? You look so happy?"
When Yun Yancheng heard her voice, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes a little flustered, as if he was hiding some secret, and his little hands were still tightly grasping the corner of Fu Linghe's clothes.
Fu Linghe looked normal, with a faint smile on his face. "Nothing. Ah Cheng was sharing his experience in building Lego with me."
He took the fruit plate from Yun Zheng's hand and gently stroked her palm with his fingertips, bringing a tingling sensation.
Yun Zheng didn't think much about it, just thinking it was the boy's childishness, and touched Yun Yancheng's head.
She noticed that Fu Linghe was still wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
The sunlight shines through the glass window, reflecting tiny spots of light on the plain ring, like a silent promise.
After dinner, Yun Zheng and Fu Linghe sent Yun Yancheng back to the Yun family.
After packing up briefly, the three of them went out together.
Fu Linghe was driving, Yun Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat, and Yun Yancheng was sitting in the back seat, fastening his seat belt and holding his small schoolbag and Lego.
Along the way, the little boy was unusually quiet, only occasionally glancing at Fu Linghe through the rearview mirror. Whenever the other party looked at him, he quickly looked away, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The car slowly stopped in front of the Yun family's gate.
Just as Yun Zheng was about to get out of the car, Yun Yancheng unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped out. "Sister, you don't have to take me in!"
Of course he also wanted to take Yun Zheng home, but he knew that no one in this family could accommodate Yun Zheng.
Rather than letting her go in and suffer injustice, it would be better for him to go in himself.
Yun Yancheng was standing outside the car door, carrying a small schoolbag.
"Okay, then message me if you have anything." Yun Zheng chuckled, looked at the little boy outside the car, and spoke gently.
"I got it!" Yun Yancheng waved his hand, turned around to leave, then suddenly ran back and knocked on Fu Linghe's car window.
Fu Linghe lowered the car window, and the little boy stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear.
Fu Linghe's brows relaxed and he nodded slightly.
After receiving the response, Yun Yancheng smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he ran towards the Yun family's gate with light steps.
When he reached the door, he turned around and waved at them vigorously, shouting, "Sister, brother-in-law, go back and be careful!"
He looked like a little adult.
The car started slowly. Yun Zheng looked out the window at the Yun family mansion gradually disappearing into the distance, feeling mixed emotions.
The house where she had lived for more than 20 years had now become a place she never wanted to set foot in her life.
"Acheng seems a little strange today," Yun Zheng couldn't help but say, "It seems like he has something on his mind."
Fu Linghe glanced sideways, reached out and gently held Yun Zheng's hand, squeezing it soothingly. "Children are fickle-minded. Maybe they encountered something funny at school."
His thumb gently stroked the wedding ring on her ring finger, his eyes as deep as the sea.
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "That's right. His house has been a mess lately. I don't know if it's affected him."
"Okay, don't worry. Acheng may not be as fragile as you think." Fu Linghe smiled and comforted him.
"You don't have any plans for a while, do you?"
Yun Zheng shook her head, "No."
Fu Linghe, "Well, then you accompany me to the company."
Yun Zheng nodded, "Okay."
