After confirming that Yan Junting was her son, Ning Yue became excited. She took a few steps forward, but then stopped, as if remembering something.
However, her gaze remained fixed on Yan Junting, scrutinizing him carefully.
She looked as if she was trying to make up for all the time she had lost over the years.
After a long while, she murmured, "No wonder... When I first saw you, I felt really strange. I thought it was because of Wen Yue, but I didn't expect..."
Ning Yue glanced at Wu Chunlan again after saying this, and then nodded slightly.
This situation was indeed somewhat awkward. She didn't know what the Yan family's current situation was, or whether they even knew of her existence.
She just wanted to reunite with her son and didn't want to cause Yan Gusheng any trouble or upset Wu Chunlan.
So she didn't continue speaking.
Seeing this, Yun Duoduo suggested, "How about this, Junting, you and Aunt Ning, Dad find a place for you to have a good talk, and I'll stay with Mom and Dad in the ward?"
Yan Gusheng thought the suggestion was good, and he quickly said, "I won't go, it's not convenient for me here."
After Yan Gusheng finished speaking, he called out to Yan Junting, "Okay, Junting, you and Duoduo go with Dr. Ning to find a quiet place to talk. Your mother can stay here with me while I get my injection. Anyway, I've already told you everything that's happened over the years."
Yan Gusheng's words showed Wu Chunlan great respect.
Indeed, under these circumstances, it is not appropriate for Yan Gusheng to have too much interaction with Ning Yue, and the only person Ning Yue should be looking for is Yan Junting.
Originally, Yan Gusheng had already caused Wu Chunlan a lot of harm by keeping so many things from her all these years, and they shouldn't have caused her any more harm.
So, Yun Duoduo and the other two went to the opposite side of the hospital and found a quiet teahouse to sit down.
After sitting down, the three of them felt somewhat awkward, as if they didn't know where to begin.
Finally, Ning Yue spoke first to Yan Junting, saying, "Junting, I'm sorry. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother all these years. As soon as I learned of your existence, I came here immediately. I originally planned to go to the countryside to find your father after finishing my work at the hospital, but I didn't expect..."
Yan Junting nodded; he knew about these things too.
He thought for a moment, then asked Ning Yue very seriously, "Dr. Ning, if you had known about my existence back then, but your husband hadn't accepted me, would you have given me up?"
Without any hesitation, Ning Yue shook her head and said, "No, not at all."
As if afraid that Yan Junting wouldn't believe her, Ning Yue continued, "Junting, if I didn't want you, I had plenty of opportunities to not have you back then, but I insisted on giving birth to you. I thought I would raise you with my own hands, and I would do anything to raise you."
"As for my later husband, the reason for the divorce was because I told him that the child was not his, and that's why he divorced me."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo and Yan Junting exchanged a glance.
That means Ning Yue has been single for decades, which must have been tough for her.
After a pause, Ning Yue gave a bitter smile. "Think about it. I already admitted it when I knew you were gone. Besides, if I had known you were still here, how could I have given up on you? It's not like I can't afford to support you."
"This was done at the behest of your maternal grandmother by your uncles..."
At this point, Ning Yue shook her head and said, "Your maternal grandmother was a very formidable character. She grew up in a wealthy family and valued reputation and material possessions very much. At the time, she was worried that I would ruin my reputation and disgrace the Ning family, and she was also worried that I would suffer in the countryside for the rest of my life, so that's why she did what she did..."
Perhaps unwilling to speak ill of her deceased mother, she shook her head and continued, "And your uncles, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been separated from our mother. They went too far."
Seeing Ning Yue like this, Yan Junting knew that Ning Yue might have fallen out with her family because of this.
Perhaps Yan Junting is very happy now, because he has no complaints about his grandmother and uncle.
Perhaps, as Yan Gusheng said, everyone has their own destiny, and they are all doing quite well now.
At the same time, he also hopes that his biological mother is doing well and doesn't get stuck on negative thoughts.
He shook his head at Ning Yue, smiled, and said, "Forget it, let bygones be bygones. Don't hold a grudge against your family. Actually, I've been doing very well these past few years, and things are fine with my family..."
Yan Junting gave a general overview of the Yan family's situation and mentioned that Wu Chunlan had always treated him like her own son and had not known about Yan Gusheng and Ning Yue's relationship before.
Ning Yue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Although it was only a short time together, she had already seen through Yan Junting's personality.
Her son is sunny, generous, responsible, ambitious, and a good man.
As for the fact that Yan Gusheng had been keeping it from Yan Junting, she understood. "I understand your father's good intentions, and I am very grateful to him for raising you so well."
At this point, Ning Yue added, "Actually, when I went to the Li family with Duo Duo's mother just now, I asked some questions about you, and I know the general situation of you."
At that time, Ning Yue did not know that Yan Junting was her son, but she felt a special closeness to him, so she asked him a few more questions.
Ye Wenyue was very satisfied with Yan Junting as her son-in-law, so naturally she only said good things about him.
As Ye Wenyue's best friend, Ning Yue knew that Ye Wenyue was actually a picky person, and there were very few people she could praise highly. Yan Junting was one of them.
As she spoke, Ning Yue looked at Yun Duoduo and said with a smile, "Besides, you are the son-in-law of the Li family. I know that even without me by your side, you will definitely live a good life. Your father has raised you very well. Perhaps your grandmother's decision was right."
Yan Junting nodded, deeply moved. "Yes, I'm doing well, so I hope you are too. Don't dwell on the past anymore."
That's what she said, but he is still her own son. In fact, Ning Yue has a lot she wants to give Yan Junting and a lot she wants to say to him. However, they are not much different from strangers now, and she doesn't know where to start.
After a long pause, she finally asked, "But Jun Ting, is there still a chance for me to make it up to him?"
“It’s not that serious.” Yan Junting shook his head with a smile and sincerely told Ning Yue, “If you’re not in a hurry to go back to Haicheng this time, you can stay in Kyoto for a few more days. You can stay at Duoduo’s mom’s place, or we can arrange accommodation for you.”
Although Yan Junting hadn't called her "Mom" yet, it was enough to mean he accepted her. Ning Yue was already very happy. She immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, I came here specifically to see you. As for my work at the hospital, I've already entered a semi-retired state, so I'm not in a hurry."
“Okay, then…” Yun Duoduo looked at Ning Yue, unsure of how to address her.
Previously, she had always called her Dr. Ning. Now that her identity has been confirmed, she should logically call her "Mom." However, the problem is that Yan Junting hasn't even said "Mom" yet, so she naturally can't set that precedent.
