Meng Jie: "You've grown up and are all grown up now, but I'm still your mother. You have to do whatever I say."
Yi An looked at her coldly, "I finally understand why he doesn't want to be at home. No man would want his wife to be so domineering!"
These harsh words were like a knife, viciously stabbing at Meng Jie.
But Meng Jie's face remained completely expressionless, as if she wasn't the one being talked about.
“I don’t care what he does, you are my son, and I have the right to decide who you marry in the future.”
Yi An retreated repeatedly. If Meng Jie had been even slightly injured, he would have regretted saying such harsh words, but she hadn't.
She has never had any emotions; she's like a hard rock, devoid of human feelings, and her mind is only focused on control, control, and more control.
"I'll say it one last time, I won't marry her. I already have someone I want to marry."
"Who?" Meng Jie asked, "The woman who lives next door?"
Yi An's pupils contracted sharply, as if a sore spot had been touched, and she retorted excitedly, "I've said it before, don't monitor my life, I want my freedom!"
Meng Jie acted as if she hadn't heard, and gave the order: "Break up. If you don't want anything to happen to her, then break up. Yi An can only have one wife."
Yi An sneered repeatedly, "Impossible, just give up on that idea. You can control everything about me, but you can't control my heart. I will marry no one but her in this life."
His firm words surprised Meng Jie and also made Lin Hui, who was eavesdropping outside the door, momentarily lose her composure.
"He's going to marry Su Yan?"
She asked herself in disbelief.
Suddenly, a soft, cute voice called out from beside me: "Mommy, what are you doing here?"
Lin Hui turned her head and saw Yi Kangle, who had appeared beside her at some point. She immediately covered his mouth, glanced at the closed door, picked him up, and casually went into a room.
Yi Kangle was being held tightly by her hand, making it hard for her to breathe. She tried to pry it away with her little hands, but dared not utter a sound.
Lin Hui put him on the ground and glanced nervously outside.
"What did you hear?"
Yi Kangle gasped for breath, looking at her blankly. "Mom, what's wrong? Xiao Bao didn't hear anything."
Lin Hui looked at him warily, confirming again, "You really didn't hear anything?"
Yi Kangle nodded seriously.
Lin Hui stared at him, and suddenly an idea popped into her head, an idea that made her eyes light up.
As if she had found a lifeline, she grabbed Yi Kangle's arm.
Yi Kangle was so frightened that he shrank back. The pain from his arm made his little face scrunch up, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain. He could only helplessly call out, "Mom."
Lin Hui belatedly realized that she had hit too hard. She let go, and Yi Kangle's arm was already turning red with clear finger marks.
"Xiao Bao," Lin Hui called out gently.
"Um?"
Yi Kangle's sweet, childlike voice softened Lin Hui's expression even more.
"Little Bao, do you love Mommy?"
Yi Kangle nodded emphatically, "Xiao Bao loves Mommy."
"Does Xiaobao love his father?" Lin Hui asked immediately afterward.
Yi Kangle nodded without hesitation, "Xiao Bao loves his dad too, Xiao Bao loves his mom and dad the most."
Lin Hui suddenly lowered her eyes and said in a sad, low voice, "But Xiao Bao, Daddy doesn't want us anymore, what should we do? He doesn't want Xiao Bao and Mommy anymore."
Yi Kangle was stunned, blinking repeatedly, clearly having never thought about this question before.
Lin Hui was not satisfied with his reaction and continued to provoke him with more forceful words.
“Xiao Bao, your father abandoned us because of a woman. From now on, Xiao Bao will not have a father. Your father will go and be a father to other children.”
Yi Kangle blinked rapidly, and a layer of mist rose from within his eyes.
He cautiously asked, "Daddy doesn't want Xiaobao anymore? Because Xiaobao is naughty, Xiaobao... has a bad personality?"
Lin Hui frowned as she watched his reaction.
She said urgently, "Your father just doesn't want us anymore, why are you making so many questions! What should you do now?"
Yi Kangle was frightened by her appearance and shrank back in fear.
"Daddy loves Xiaobao the most, and Daddy will never abandon Xiaobao."
Lin Hui was furious at his weak appearance. "Yi Kangle! Is this all you've got? You deserve to be fatherless! Let me tell you, that woman is coming soon. If you don't find a way to get rid of her, you'll be a child without a father!"
"When that time comes, your dad won't want you, and neither will I. You can just wait to be arrested by the police!"
After threatening him, she was still not satisfied and glared at him fiercely before she was satisfied.
Yi Kangle's little face was filled with terror. He huddled in a corner, hugging himself tightly in fear.
"Mommy, don't leave Xiaobao, Xiaobao is scared."
Large tears fell and landed on the back of his hand.
He bit his little baby teeth and wiped away his tears. "Little Bao can't cry. If you cry, Mommy won't like you anymore."
Yi An came out of the study and searched everywhere for Yi Kangle but couldn't find him. Finally, she found him in a corner of a room.
When they found her, Yi Kangle was already asleep, her little face covered in tear stains.
As soon as Yi An touched him, he flinched in fright and immediately clung tightly to her hand.
"Daddy, please don't abandon Xiaobao."
The murmurs in her dream startled Yi'an, and she immediately softened her expression.
"Daddy will never abandon Xiaobao, Daddy will always love Xiaobao."
As he said this, Yi Kangle's tightly furrowed brows seemed to relax, and he lay in Yi An's arms like a little angel.
Yi An picked him up to leave, but when she turned her head, she met Meng Jie's icy gaze.
"You only insist on marrying Su Yan because you want to find him a stepmother?"
Yi An met her gaze directly and retorted with the same words: "So you gritted your teeth and endured it all so that I wouldn't have a stepmother?"
A flicker of emotion seemed to cross Meng Jie's eyes, but Yi An ignored it and walked straight away.
Looking at his retreating figure, Meng Jie finally relented and said, "I want to see her tomorrow."
Yi An paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew the step she was about to take.
He turned to look at her. "She won't let you down."
Meng Jie watched his figure disappear from sight before slowly speaking again: "Come out, you've had enough of eavesdropping."
Lin Hui emerged from around the corner, looking aggrieved.
"How could Brother An do this to me?"
Meng Jie glanced at her, her words still icy.
"Even a man who loves you can change, let alone a man who doesn't even love you."
Lin Hui was immediately hurt by these words, and her body trembled slightly.
She said anxiously, "But what about Xiaobao? The headmistress said that his current family environment has already had such a big impact on him, and if he gets another stepmother, I'm afraid..."
She dared not continue speaking and covered her face, bursting into tears.
Meng Jie found it incredibly noisy, so she left after saying a few words.
"I'm really worried about Xiaobao. He'll come tomorrow. What's the use of crying!"
