"Mom, I've noticed that you've been distracted recently. Tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?"
Xinwan's heart skipped a beat. Although this little guy was young, he was still Wen Han-woo's son. Xinwan wasn't sure if this was a psychological effect, but she felt that her son seemed to have become much smarter after her confrontation with Wen Han-woo. Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask her such a question?
She coughed lightly and pretended to be calm as she asked, "Hide something from you? What can I hide from you? Xiao Yu, you don't have to go to school these days, but didn't I buy some books for you to read? Have you read them? "
Tong Yanyu raised his eyebrows as he watched Xinwan walk in. He shifted his little body to the side and said, "You're underestimating me. I only read the books you bought for me once."
Xinwan put the clothes in her hands into the walk-in closet. She didn't doubt her son's ability, but she still said to him conservatively, "Xiao Yu, I know that you're very smart, but there are some things that have to be done step by step. Do you understand? We can't afford to be arrogant. "
"Yes, I know."
Tong Yanyu nodded his head and looked as though he was being taught humbly. "We can't afford to be arrogant. We should be humble and make progress. Mom, that's what you've taught me since I was young. I've always remembered it."
Xinwan was very pleased to hear her son obediently go along with her words. "Yes, it's good that you know. That's why we should learn to keep a low profile, especially boys. We can't be too arrogant and domineering. When you grow up, you'll know that keeping a low profile and being steady is the temperament that a man should have. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Xiao Yu, you're so obedient."
Xinwan habitually reached out to pat her son's head. Tong Yanyu nimbly dodged to the side and frowned. "Mom, I'm obedient, but you're not. You said that you had something important to do when you came back to B City, but I saw that you were distracted when you came back. Do you still say that you're not hiding anything from me? It's right to be humble, but it's also wrong to lie. "
Xinwan.
"Mom, are you in love?"
Xinwan.
"Or do you want to go back to B City? Did you meet any men over there? "
"What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you? What do you know about love and whether you're a man? "
Xin Wan frowned and interrupted her son's words. She sighed in her heart. Indeed, one is marked by the company one keeps. Little Yu had been too close to Qin Fangang recently. That unreliable guy must have been instilling such abnormal thoughts in him every day.
But then again, was she out of her mind? Was it that obvious? Otherwise, why would her own son say that? No, she had to go back to B City as soon as possible and settle this marriage!
However, she was in America now and Qin Fangang was not around. She was worried about leaving her son here, but would it be too dangerous to bring him back to B City?
"Mom, Mom?"
Tong Yanyu jumped in front of Xinwan. It was not because he was observant, but because Xinwan had been in America for the past two days, it was too obvious that she was distracted. They were still talking just now, but now they were not on the same page. The little guy shook Xinwan's wrist and pulled her back to reality. He finally asked the question that had been lingering in his throat.
"Actually, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you. Mom, is my dad in B City? "
Xinwan's heart trembled, and the T-shirt in her hand fell to the floor. Her face was pale, and when she came back to her senses, her voice was weak. "Why, why do you ask?"
It was not strange for her son to ask about his father when he was all grown up. However, Xiao Yu had never mentioned the word "dad" in front of her before. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, Xinwan was naturally shocked.
Tong Yanyu pursed his lips and rolled his eyes twice. Then, he used an innocent tone unique to children to say something that wasn't really innocent. "Everyone has a father. Of course, I have one too."
Xinwan's nose twitched. An incomplete family would always bring harm to the child. No matter how well she did, a father's love was not something she could give. This was the most realistic society. The child was still so young, but he already understood that — Everyone has a dad. I have a dad too.
But his dad …
Xinwan bit her lip and reached out to hug Tong Yanyu. She rested her soft chin on her son's shoulder and paused for a moment before she said, "You do have a dad. But Xiao Yu, give me a little more time. I'll tell you later, okay? Mom has to make a trip back to B City this afternoon. I have a very good friend in B City. You know her too. Last year, she even came to America to visit us. Do you remember? Auntie Youran, I want you to come back with me. Stay with Auntie Youran in B City for two days. Mom will take you home after I've settled everything. Then, Mom will tell you who your dad is, okay? "
"Okay."
The little guy smacked his thin lips and allowed Xinwan to hug him. His little body leaned into her embrace. Xinwan had been hugging her son the whole time, so she did not notice that when Tong Yanyu obediently said, "Okay," a devilish glint flashed across his little black eyes.
…
In the end, Xinwan still went to the airport in the afternoon of the next day.
She purposely waited for Xiao Youran to fly to America from B City. Then, she bought a plane ticket and had Xiao Youran bring Xiao Yu onto the plane. She then entered the airport after them.
She had even specially bought separate seats. Naturally, the reason she was going around in circles was to "avoid being noticed".
Wen Han-woo was in America now, so she did not dare to swagger back to B City with her son.
Actually, Xinwan was not an overly selfish person. Although she had never told her son that Wen Han-woo was his father, she had never thought of letting Wen Han-woo know either. She had tried her best to hide everything because she did not want to lose her son. This was her lifeblood. When she had just gotten pregnant, she had thought of not having this child, but in the end, she could not bear to part with it.
That was a piece of her flesh. Now that he was already so big, sometimes, she would even wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweat all over her body when she dreamed that Family Wen's people had snatched Xiao Yu away.
Moreover, at this critical juncture, if Family Wen's people found out that she was pregnant with Family Wen's grandchild and that he was already five years old, they would definitely not give up unless they turned the world upside down, let alone get a divorce.
Xiao Youran had rushed to the plane the whole night, so her beautiful face was full of fatigue. She wore sunglasses to cover her dark circles, but she could not help but yawn. When they passed through the security check, she held Tong Yanyu's hand and said to Xinwan, "I'll go in first. We'll be in first class in a while. You'll be in economy class, so you can't call. I'll wait for you at the airport entrance after we get off the plane."
Xin Wan thought that for safety reasons, they couldn't walk together in B City. But when she saw her son wearing a small baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses, her heart softened. She nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Youran."
"What are you talking about? Forget it. If you say thank you again, I'll get angry with you. I'll bring Xiao Yu in first. You be careful. "
Xiao Youran pushed the sunglasses up her nose and squatted down. She smiled and asked Tong Yanyu, "Little handsome, do you want Auntie to carry you through the security check?"
He moved his lips and took one of the plane tickets from Xiao Youran's hand. He adjusted the cap on his head and walked directly to the security check.
Xiao Youran laughed heartily. She turned sideways and said to Xinwan, "Don't worry, your son is better than anyone else. I'll go in first. That's all. I'll send you a WeChat message when we get off the plane in B City."
Xinwan watched as Xiao Youran followed behind Xiao Yu and went through the security check. She stood at the side for a while. Because they were going through the security check for first class, there were fewer people. She stood at the side and watched for a while. After the two of them went through the security check, her son waved at her, put on his sunglasses and cap, and walked towards the boarding gate. She then turned around and prepared to go to the security check for economy class.
"Should I say that it's too much of a coincidence?"
Xinwan had just turned around when she heard the deep voice of a man. It was a slightly familiar voice. Her handbag fell to the ground with a thud and her face instantly turned pale.
"Do you have to look like you've seen a ghost when you see me?"
Wen Han-woo furrowed his brows. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding his passport and ticket. His tall figure gave off a strong sense of oppression. He was one and a half heads taller than Xinwan. Just by standing in front of her, he had to look down on her.
He was flying back to B City today. After collecting his ticket, he went to the security check for first class. At first, he thought that he had seen wrongly, but when he walked closer, he realized that it was really this woman.
However, he only saw Xinwan waving goodbye and did not see who went in. Previously at the hotel, she had said that she would meet him in court. Now that Wen Han-woo saw her, he naturally did not look happy.
The man lowered his eyes and quickly saw the passport and ticket in her hand. He sneered. "Do you really intend to go back to B City to fight a lawsuit with me? Tong Xinwan, I advise you to save it. The person who can threaten me, Wen Han-woo, hasn't been born yet. "
Xin Wan was not in the mood to bicker with him. She felt that the world was too small. Why was it that after so many twists and turns, Wen Hanyu still managed to bump into her in such a situation?
Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that in order to avoid bumping into anyone who might know her, she had specially asked Xiao Youran to come all the way from B City to the United States and then brought Little Yu to B City. After all this trouble, she had actually bumped into Wen Hanyu!
Needless to say, how could a person like him not take the first class cabin on the plane?
How many seats were there in the first class cabin?
Xinwan was in despair. It was as if she had racked her brains to avoid "danger" but had still fallen into a trap in the end. Her chest was thumping rapidly. She did not have time to think at all. She quickly picked up her handbag on the ground and grabbed Wen Han-woo's wrist.
