"Wanwan? Are you really with Wen Han-woo? I was so worried. Why was your phone turned off? Don't you know that your father and I have been looking for you? "
"My phone ran out of battery." Xinwan massaged her temples. Tong Qing Meng's anxious tone made her feel guilty. She apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom. I made you worry. But I'm fine. I'll bring Xiao Yu home later, okay?"
Tong Qing Meng originally wanted to confirm Xinwan's condition. She knew about the child earlier than Jiang Youyi. Previously, she was still thinking about how to break the news to her husband. But now, the whole world knew about it. But this was good. It saved her a lot of trouble.
"Come home soon. Your father is anxious to see his little grandson. I didn't tell your father about Xiao Yu when I found out about it. Don't let it slip when you come home. Let's forget about it. Anyway, everyone knows that you have a five-year-old child."
"I know."
Tong Qing Meng was a reasonable person. She knew that Xinwan had a five-year-old son and it would be troublesome for her to stay with Family Wen. So, she didn't rush her. She was the one who kept Jiang Youyi in check.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford to offend Family Wen. After all, Xinwan was the one who hid the truth about the child from Family Wen for five whole years. They were in no position to criticize her at this time.
She felt that some things should be left to the child. If the child couldn't handle it well, as the elders, it was understandable for them to interfere.
Tong Qing Meng reminded her again. As a mother, she always hoped that her child would be safe. Although she didn't like Wen Han-woo too much, now that they had a child, she naturally hoped that her daughter could remarry Wen Han-woo.
"I know, Mom. Don't worry too much. I know what I'm doing. The phone is Wen Hanyu's now. He still has a call. I'll have a good talk with you when I get back. I'll hang up first."
She hung up. When she turned around, she realized that Seo Dong-jun was standing behind her. The man's dark eyes were fixed on her. Xinwan was shocked by his gaze.
Seo Dong-jun always gave her the impression that he was gentle and refined. Before she picked up the phone, he didn't have such an expression on his face. It was as if he was looking at someone who was too familiar but also completely unfamiliar.
She didn't know how to describe it. There was a bit of heat, disbelief, and speculation. It was complicated and difficult to distinguish. It was as if her whole body was being pulled by two forces. Those kinds of emotions all surged out from the bottom of his eyes.
Tong Yanyu had already jumped onto the stool and stretched out his two little arms. When he saw that Xinwan had returned, he snorted and said weakly, "Mom, I'm so hungry. Uncle also went out to make a call. When will the dishes be served?"
The little guy's words broke the strange atmosphere.
Xinwan walked over with the phone in her hand. Seo Dong-jun seemed to have snapped out of his daze in a hurry. He probably realized that he had lost his composure just now. He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. Covering his mouth, he coughed softly. "I think Hanwoo called. It should be about the company."
"Oh, it's okay."
Xinwan didn't take it to heart. Thinking that her son was hungry, she wanted to ask the waiter to serve something first. However, Seo Dong-jun was standing beside her, so she felt embarrassed. Just as she was about to speak, Seo Dong-jun unexpectedly beat her to it. He suddenly said, "Your mom is Tong Qing Meng?"
The man's voice sounded a little low. It was probably because he was suppressing some kind of emotion, but it also sounded a little tense.
Xinwan was stunned and nodded. "Do you know my mom?"
She seemed to have never heard her mother mention that she knew a man who was an artist.
"No, I."
Seo Dong-jun seemed to hesitate for a moment. He was hemming and hawing, probably organizing his words. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Wen Han-woo walk in after answering the phone. He glanced at Xinwan again. This time, the man's gaze was a little unreadable.
"It's nothing. Hanwoo, Xinwan, I still have people waiting for me upstairs. I'll go up first. I'll contact you when I have time."
Tong Yanyu seemed to have returned to normal. The smile at the corner of his mouth was as gentle as before. "Xiao Yu, granduncle will go up first. I'll contact you next time."
"Okay, bye, granduncle."
Xinwan looked at Seo Dong-jun's back and muttered in her heart. He did look very strange just now, and he even mentioned her mother.
"Mom, uncle is back. Can we eat now? I'm so hungry. "
Tong Yanyu's words successfully pulled Xinwan back to reality. The moment Wen Han-woo sat down, the waiter had already served the food. Xinwan helped her son tidy up the cutlery and moved the set meal in front of him. The rest of the dishes were served one after another. The three of them had a very good habit. They didn't like to talk too much when they were eating. When they were almost done eating, Xinwan finally spoke.
"I'll be taking Xiao Yu home in a while. My parents are back, but he hasn't met his grandparents yet."
Wen Han-woo had just put down the glass of water in his hand. When he heard this, he lifted his eyes and glanced at Xinwan. His gaze landed on his son. He naturally recalled how Xinwan had hurriedly explained to Seo Dong-jun that they weren't a family of three. He couldn't help but curve his thin lips and scoff. He said in a sarcastic tone, "You're really heartless. Even your own parents don't know about the existence of your child."
When he saw Xinwan's expression freeze, he looked at his son and said, "Xiao Yu, all these years, haven't you ever wondered who your father and grandparents are?"
Tong Yanyu quickly added, "Mom has shown me photos of my grandparents. I know what they look like."
Wen Han-woo's heart skipped a beat. "Then what about your grandparents?"
"I've seen them in a magazine once. I'm not unfamiliar with them."
In the end, there was only one crucial question left. The man's slender fingers gently brushed the sides of the glass and stopped at the edge. He reached out and pressed it gently. His breathing quickened as he said, "So you've known that I'm your biological father for a long time? You've also seen me on television or in a magazine? "
Wen Han-woo felt that it was unforgivable for Tong Xinwan to have shown his son photos of his parents while her own parents were shown in a magazine. However, on second thought, she might not have had any photos of her Family Wen, so she might have made up an excuse.
But to him, since Tong Yanyu had already seen the other family members in photos or magazines, then he should have seen the worst of them on TV or in the media.
To his surprise, Tong Yanyu shook his head decisively. His innocent eyes stared unblinkingly at Wen Han-woo. The word 'honesty' seemed to be written clearly in his black pupils.
"No, I haven't. I've never seen you before."
Although Xinwan and Wen Han-woo hadn't spent much time together, they had crossed swords several times. She could feel the cold aura emanating from his body at that moment. It was obvious that he was angry.
She could roughly understand the reason for his anger. Her face tensed up slightly as she grabbed a tissue and stuffed it into Tong Yanyu's hands. "Wipe your mouth. The corners of your mouth are covered in blood."
Tong Yanyu didn't realize that he had just said something wrong. He took the tissue from his mother and happily wiped the corners of his mouth.
The man sitting across from her was emitting a sharp aura. Xinwan glanced at his exquisite features several times from the corner of her eyes. They were emitting a bone-chilling coldness.
This man was really temperamental.
Although she had to admit that Xiao Yu's words might have hurt his "self-esteem" a little, the matter of hiding the child from him was still a thorn in his heart. She was clearly the one who had placed the thorn in his heart and was in the wrong. However, what was done was done. Was there a need to be so calculative over a photo?
She couldn't sit still any longer. She had originally intended to go home, but when she saw Tong Yanyu wipe his mouth clean, she waved her hand to the waiter and prepared to pay the bill.
Tong Yanyu jumped down from the stool and suddenly said, "Mom, you still want to pay the bill at this kind of event? Then what about Uncle's face? Every time you and Uncle Qin Fangang go out to eat, he pays the bill. Uncle Qin Fangang said that this is what a man should do. "
Xinwan.
Wen Han-woo's smile became even colder. He suddenly stood up and reached out to hold his son's little hand. He said in a deep voice, "I'll take you to the car."
Xinwan thought that Wen Han-woo was going to take her son away. She didn't even bother to pay the bill. She picked up her handbag and chased after them. She didn't want to get into an argument with Wen Han-woo in a public place like the restaurant. The three of them walked out of the restaurant one after another. She then grabbed her son's other hand and looked at Wen Han-woo with furrowed brows.
"Didn't I say that I was going to take Xiao Yu home? Yesterday, he spent the night at Family Wen. Shouldn't I let him meet my parents today? "
"You really know how to calculate. Yesterday, you went to Family Wen, so today, you should go back to Family Jiang. Then, what you did to me in the United States before, can I do the same to you? "
In other words, since you slept with me before, can I sleep with you too?
Xinwan was really angry and anxious. Her face was alternating between red and white. She was stunned by his words. She only felt a surge of anger in her chest. Before she could think of a way to refute him, Tong Yanyu heard the veiled words and immediately interjected excitedly.
"Hey, Mom, what did you do to Uncle in America before?"
Xinwan.
Looking down, Xinwan wanted to dig a hole and hide in it when she saw her son's innocent gaze and his "curious baby" face.
She glared at Wen Han-woo in annoyance, but he didn't seem to think that he said anything wrong. Xinwan reached out to nudge Tong Yanyu and said softly, "Xiao Yu, get in the car first."
