Finally, just as Ye Ningwan was about to suffocate, Ye Jingyu gently shook his head.
“If it were now, I wouldn’t want Uncle Pei to be my daddy. I think he’s not good enough for Mommy! Mommy deserves the best man in the world.”
For some reason, Ye Ningwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted Ye Jingyu's head and smiled gently at him.
"If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Just do what you want to do and like the people you like."
During those years, she was so restricted in the Ye family. Everything she did, everyone she liked, everyone she associated with, and even her thoughts were controlled.
No one knew how difficult it was for her to wear a mask of pretense, to pretend to be a well-behaved, obedient, sensible, and filial daughter. No one cared what she was thinking or what her true thoughts were; they only cared about themselves.
Ye Ningwan did not want her child to repeat the same mistake.
She wanted them to be free.
Ye Jingyu grasped Ye Ningwan's hand that was pressing on his head and looked up at her.
"Mommy, what about you? Do you like Pei Fengzhi? Do you want to be with him?"
Ye Ningwan was taken aback.
She had never thought about these things.
She had only two goals from beginning to end: to find her parents and to live with Xiaoxing and Ye Jingyu, raise them well, and let them live happily together.
After she figured it out, she gently shook her head.
"I don't know, and I don't want to think about these things. I had ulterior motives when I married Pei Fengzhi; it wasn't because I loved him at all. He didn't love me either. Our marriage was inherently unstable; we knew it would fall apart at any moment."
Little Star blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite, and retorted.
"But I can feel that Daddy loves you! How could you misunderstand him?"
Little Star was a little unhappy.
He believed what he saw; Daddy had feelings for Mommy, and it wasn't at all like what Mommy said.
The little guy lowered his head and whispered.
"If Daddy finds out, he will be very sad."
Ye Ningwan spoke earnestly to Little Star.
“Little Star, you are still young, and there are some things you don’t understand. Mommy doesn’t know how to explain them to you. But the relationship between two people is not as simple as just being nice to the other person and loving them.”
The little star raised its head, reacting rather strongly.
"I understand! You clearly love Daddy too, don't you? Otherwise, why would you agree to let me be his son just to save him?!"
Ye Ningwan sighed helplessly, touched the back of Xiaoxing's neck, and gently stroked his neck with her fingers, as if soothing a cat with its fur standing on end, to calm him down.
"Pei Fengzhi has lost his memory."
Little Star exclaimed in surprise.
Even Ye Jingyu, who was sitting cross-legged to the side with an indifferent expression, turned to look at Ye Ningwan with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Little Star quickly realized what was happening and continued to ask questions.
"But what does that have to do with him not liking you? Does his amnesia mean he doesn't love you anymore?"
Ye Ningwan originally didn't want to tell the two children about this, but since Xiaoxing asked, he had no choice but to tell Xiaoxing the truth.
She didn't want her child to misunderstand her as a heartless and cruel person.
"Before Pei Fengzhi lost his memory, he had a very good girlfriend, but the Pei family forcibly separated them. Now that girlfriend is abroad. Pei Fengzhi mistakenly believes that I am the girlfriend he remembers, which is why he is so good to me. Do you understand?"
Little Star immediately realized what was happening.
He opened his mouth wide and instinctively cried out.
"Oh, isn't that the domineering CEO and his stand-in wife? He actually treats you like a substitute? That's so mean! I don't want him to be my daddy anymore! I'm starting to hate him!"
Children's likes and dislikes come and go quickly, like the weather in April, changing in an instant.
Ye Jingyu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up this time.
"Actually, it can't be said that Uncle Pei is a bad man. He has amnesia and doesn't know that Mommy is his first love. He may genuinely like Mommy a little, but once he regains his memory, it's hard to say what will happen."
"Furthermore, Mommy hid the fact that we are her children. Can someone like Uncle Pei accept that his wife has two children?"
"I think it's very difficult, otherwise Mommy wouldn't have worked so hard to protect us."
Ye Ning nodded.
Little Star blinked, and after thinking for a long time, it suddenly dawned on him.
"I see. So, once Mommy finishes what she needs to do, we have to leave immediately?"
Ye Ning nodded.
"That's why Little Star has so many feelings for Pei Fengzhi. Otherwise, when it's time to leave, Mommy is worried that you won't be able to bear it."
Little Star immediately hugged Ye Ningwan, looked up at her, and said firmly.
"Mommy, don't worry, I will never leave you. You are the first person I love most in this world, and Yuyu is the second. You are the most important people!"
Ye Ningwan smiled and patted Little Star's head.
Now that the two children understand the importance of this matter, Ye Ningwan is relieved.
She was genuinely worried that Little Star was too dependent on Pei Fengzhi.
She released Little Star and gave instructions to her two sons.
