"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't mess up your seniority in front of a child." Old Mrs. Han was very pleased with her great-grandson. She held onto his little hand and refused to let go. "My little great-grandson has such a sweet mouth. Great-grandma will reward you with something good later."
Tong Yanyu replied with an "Oh" and didn't seem to have much of a reaction. Xinwan poked him and he said, "Thank you, Great-grandma."
Finally, when they saw Han Eemo, Xinwan politely allowed Xiao Yu to call her "Grandma". Tong Yanyu also gave her face and called her "Grandma".
Han Eemo's anger dissipated when she heard her grandson call her "Grandma".
When the family sat down to eat, Old Mrs. Han insisted that Tong Yanyu sit next to her. Xinwan didn't want to disobey Old Mrs. Han's wishes. Old Mrs. Han was indeed very excited to see her great-grandson, so she let Tong Yanyu sit next to her.
Family Wen was a wealthy family. Although Han Eemo wasn't very well-mannered, the whole family had a tacit understanding and didn't speak much during the meal. Tong Yanyu's table manners had already been seen by Wen Han-woo. He ate the food in front of him without saying a word. Not a single grain of rice fell out of his mouth. Family Wen secretly gave this child full marks in their hearts when they saw this.
After the meal, everyone moved to the living room and the servants started serving fruits.
Tong Yanyu sat next to Xinwan while Wen Han-woo sat on the other side. His long legs were crossed elegantly as he smoked a cigarette out of habit after the meal. The man's deep eyes were slightly squinted as he inhaled and exhaled a cloud of smoke. He was very sexy and charming, but he didn't notice that there was a child between them. After taking two puffs, Xinwan coughed softly and her gaze landed on Wen Han-woo's face. Wen Han-woo saw the look in Xinwan's eyes through the white smoke. He seemed to have understood the message in her eyes and instinctively stood up from the sofa.
By the time he realized it, he was already standing at the door with half a cigarette between his slender fingers.
Wen Han-woo felt that his recent state of mind was a little off. He seemed to have spent too much energy on this "ex-wife" named Tong Xinwan. Actually, with his character, even if he had let her come back from America, there was no need for him to bring her to Family Wen when they arrived in B City in order to make Xiao Yu feel at ease.
When they arrived at Family Wen and he saw his mother making things difficult for her, he still wanted to stand up and smooth things over.
This kind of situation had never happened before.
The man stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked the corner of his dry lips. He crushed the cigarette between his fingers and threw it into the trash can at the side. As he turned around, he happened to hear Wen Haoxuan's steady voice in the living room —
"Xinwan, why don't you let Yuehua take Xiao Yu out to play in the back garden first? Yesterday, your grandma heard that Xiao Yu was coming back, so she got someone to set up a swing in the back garden overnight. She even said that the child would definitely like it, so don't waste your grandma's good intentions. "
His words were rather tactful. Xinwan knew in her heart that Wen Haoxuan was going to start talking to her about her son, so he wanted to send the child away.
Xinwan agreed.
There were some things that she did not want her son to hear.
She nodded and let go of Xiao Yu's hand that she had been holding. She said softly to him, "Go play with your grandaunt for a while. Mommy will come and find you in a while, okay?"
Xiao Yu played the role of an obedient child to the fullest today. "Okay, then Mommy, come and find me later. I'll wait for you in the back garden."
Wen Yuehua grumbled, "Don't call me grandaunt in the future, at least not when we're outside." At the same time, she happily pulled Tong Yanyu and Seo Dong-jun to the back garden.
After waiting for the three of them to leave, Wen Haoxuan remained silent for a moment before speaking again. "Xinwan, today may be the first time I've seen my grandson, but I can tell that you've taught him well. I'm very grateful to you. So, I also want to talk to you about the child calmly. It's getting late now. Tonight, you … "
"She'll stay tonight."
A deep male voice suddenly interrupted. Everyone turned to look at Wen Han-woo in unison. The man walked in with an imposing aura. His deep eyes were fixed on Xinwan's face throughout. His voice was magnetic and had a hint of ambiguous ambiguity.
"Sleep with me."
Everyone present, including Xinwan, was dumbfounded by Wen Han-woo's words.
What was he talking about?
Xinwan's slender brows were tightly knitted together. She looked at Wen Han-woo in confusion.
Han Eemo felt that she had been taken advantage of just now and had nowhere to vent her anger. Now, she seized the opportunity. "Hanwoo, are you out of your mind? Damn it! "
Anyway, her grandson was no longer around. Now, no one would stop her from saying whatever she wanted to say, right?
"I know that she did contribute to Family Wen by giving birth to a son. If you don't like what I said at the door just now, then forget it. But now that she's no longer related to Family Wen, how can she stay tonight?"
Wen Haoxuan glanced at his wife and nodded in agreement with what she had just said. "I agree with your mother on this matter too."
However, his words were obviously much more tactful than Han Eemo's. He looked at Xinwan. "Previously, you tried so hard to divorce Hanwoo. No matter what your intentions were, now that things have come to this, I'm sure you know in your heart who exactly is at fault. You should also know about the child. This kind of thing, no one would be able to let go of, but I don't want to make things difficult for you. Today, since Hanwoo brought the child here, I'm also grateful to you for taking care of and nurturing this child for the past five years. But as for the future … "
"Tong Yanyu is my son."
"Uncle Wen, I've always treated you as my elder. Regarding the divorce, I'm indeed responsible for it. I did it for my son. I know that there's no point in explaining it now, but this child isn't like what Auntie said. If I really wanted to use this child to trap the Wen family, I wouldn't have hidden it for five years." Wen Xinwan's face was pale and she was calm as usual, but when she spoke, she said, "Uncle Wen, I've always treated you as my elder. Regarding the divorce, I'm indeed responsible for it.
She paused and softened her voice, but her tone was firm. "It wasn't easy for me to raise this child alone. The reason I persevered was not because he is Family Wen's child, but because he is my flesh and blood. I can't give him to anyone. I'm sorry, Uncle. I actually thought about this day, but since it's already here, I still have to face it. I'm really sorry for keeping it a secret from you for five whole years, but I won't change my mind about other things. Today, I brought Xiao Yu here because he has the right to know who his father, grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandmother are. "
"Tong Xinwan! What are you trying to say by spouting so much nonsense? Do you want to file a lawsuit against Family Wen for custody rights? "
Han Eemo snorted coldly with a look of disapproval. "Do you think you're worthy?"
Xinwan did not say anything. She did not want to argue with Han Eemo. There was no point in it.
Wen Han-woo had been silent all this while. At this moment, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xinwan's hand in front of everyone. He pulled her towards the staircase.
Xinwan was shocked. "You- Wen Han-woo, what are you doing? Let go of me …"
"Shut up."
Wen Han-woo held her wrist tightly and pulled her struggling body into his embrace. She could feel his strong and domineering aura. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to contain a magical power that made it easy for people to sink into them and not be able to extricate themselves from them.
Just one look from such a close distance and Xin Wan's heart was pounding uncontrollably.
She instinctively held her breath and pursed her dry lips tightly.
Wen Han-woo narrowed his eyes and pressed his thumb hard on the vein on her wrist. The pressure made Xinwan feel as though he was pressing on her heart. She trembled all over and heard him deliberately lower his voice. "Yes, that's it. If you don't want to see your son today, then be good!"
Xinwan's pupils contracted instinctively. She knew what he meant. In fact, ever since they returned from America, he had not been rude to her. If he really wanted to chase her out of Family Wen, she reckoned that she would not be able to fight back.
"Hanwoo …"
However, even if Xinwan did not struggle, the Family Wen people would not let the matter rest. Han Eemo chased after Wen Han-woo and pulled him back. "Where are you taking this woman?"
"My room."
Wen Han-woo's reply was concise and comprehensive. It seemed that he did not want to say much. However, when he saw the meaningful and unhappy looks in the family's eyes, he finally said, "Does it have to be what you think it is to return to my room? I have some important things to ask her in private. Also, if you let her go today, are you sure you can handle that five-year-old brat? "
…
Xin Wan was dragged all the way upstairs by Wen Han Yu. His room was on the third floor. Walking along this luxurious corridor that was completely unfamiliar to her, Xin Wan's heart surged with four words — — Fate makes fools of people!
Fate was really playing tricks on her!
She had been his wife for six years and had never been treated like this by him. It was as though he treated her like an invisible person. Of course, it was the same for her. She had never thought that things would turn out this way between them.
Divorce, children, and then they were tied together again. It was impossible to cut them off and it was a mess.
Xin Wan's mind was in a mess.
"You can let go of me now. I can walk on my own!"
The long corridor was covered with a thick carpet. Their footsteps were hurried, but they stepped on the carpet silently. It seemed that there was not even a servant on this floor at this time of the day. Xinwan felt that the sound of their hurried breathing was the most obvious. It slowly spread into the air and gave off a subtle feeling.
