Hence, she became even angrier when she saw Little Yichen losing his temper at Gong Fan. She was determined to figure out the whole story.

Except, in Gong Fan’s opinion, this was nothing more than charity! Little Yichen turned away awkwardly, refusing to say anything. He didn’t want his mother to be disappointed in Gong Fan. Mommy would be greatly saddened if she heard those words! Little Yichen was thoughtful and, therefore, reluctant to say anything.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ turned back to Gong Fan, but his face was expressionless as he looked away from her and stared coldly at the floor. It appeared that he would rather stare at the cold ground than look at her.

“What is it … Xiao Fan?” The woman was baffled.

The sight of the two children turning their heads away sulkily, not looking at each other, momentarily put her at a complete loss.

Why was he behaving so coldly towards her for no reason? Could it be that the child was more sensitive and realized that she had silently made a choice?

“Mommy, don’t talk to him anymore!” Little Yichen snorted. “I don’t like him! I prefer Youyou much more. He’s good and obedient and gentle. He’ll never upset Mommy.”

“What did he do?”

“Nothing!” The boy refused to say more.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ started to get anxious. The more he refused to talk about it, the more important it seemed to her that it was serious.

Gong Fan didn’t say anything either. He turned around and was about to leave when Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ called out to him. She walked around to face him, put her hands on his shoulders and said uneasily, “What’s wrong with you? Why do I feel that you’ve been unhappy since early this morning, as if you have something on your mind? Did something happen? Why don’t you tell Mommy?!”

Gong Fan finally looked straight at her, but at that moment, the disappointment in his eyes was unmistakable. For some reason, his heart was filled with emotions. He forced himself to clench his fists and hold back his sobs. He pretended to be calm and asked, “If there comes a day when Mommy has to choose between Youyou and me, I think Mommy would have already made a decision!”

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was stunned to hear this!

She didn’t know why Gong Fan suddenly said that, but could it be that he had some sort of telepathy with her? She had not been able to sleep well the night before because of her restlessness and guilt. Even after Mu Yazhe had left for work the next day, she found herself unable to get any real rest.

She was uneasy, guilt-stricken, and shocked. She could even imagine how desperate this child, who trusted her wholeheartedly, would be the moment she decided to give up on Gong Fan!

She felt terrible at the thought of this! However, no matter how reluctant she was to let him go, she had no choice but to make such a decision. Just that, for some reason, Gong Fan seemed to have sensed this?

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ could feel her face burning.

On the other hand, Little Yichen was stunned as well, being unaware of the connection.

However, he did not expect that Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ would make such a cruel decision. He insisted stubbornly, “Are you kidding me?! Don’t you know what kind of person Mommy is? Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, she’ll try her best to protect you. Whether it’s Youyou or you, Mommy won’t give up easily!”

HIs words made the woman’s face burn even hotter. All she could think about was how much the older boy trusted her not to let any of them go, and how easily she’d made her decision! For a moment, she couldn’t hide the guilt she felt towards Gong Fan. Her eyes reddened.
