Originally, he had no intention of remarrying.
Although his wife had passed away, she left behind a charming son.
Ling Yue was the fruit of his and his wife’s love.
He made a promise to his wife that he would take care of Ling Yue and raise him well.
But one day, his graduate advisor unexpectedly came to him and said that his daughter, Xie Wennan, had liked him for a long time.
His advisor said that his wife was critically ill with not much time left, and her dying wish was to see Xie Wennan get married and start her own family.
His advisor also noted that Ling Yue was still young and needed a mother.
Considering his busy work schedule and inability to spend enough time with his child, the boy needed a mother’s care even more.
He didn’t want to agree initially, but he was the prized pupil of his advisor who had been exceedingly kind to him.
His advisor pleaded persistently and, coupled with his budding affection for Xie Wennan, he eventually agreed to talk to her.
When he met with Xie Wennan, he made it clear to her that he had a son.
He told Xie Wennan that his wife had died to save him.
His son, the only child he had with his wife, was his life.
No matter how many children he had in the future, none would ever surpass Ling Yue’s importance to him.
If she had issues with this, he hoped she wouldn’t waste her time on him.
Even now, he remembered Xie Wennan’s soft smile, similar to now, her voice quiet and tender.
She lowered her head slightly, blush tinting her face as she shyly said, “I don’t mind at all! I really like Xiao Yue and after we get married, I’ll care for him as if he were my own son!”
Her words moved him deeply.
In gratitude to his advisor and to provide Ling Yue with a mother’s love, he agreed to marry Xie Wennan.
When he announced that he would remarry, Xiao Yue’s grandmother didn’t make any comments. She only said, “You are going to be busy with your wedding and won’t have time to take care of Xiao Yue. I will take him to our hometown to live for a while. After you have settled down, you can bring Xiao Yue back.”
Busy preparing for his wedding with Xie Wennan, Xiao Yue’s grandmother took Xiao Yue back to their hometown.
After he and Xie Wennan got married and the honeymoon phase passed, he suggested bringing Ling Yue back to live with them.
Xie Wennan told him she was feeling a bit under the weather, perhaps from the wedding fatigue.
She was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to take care of Ling Yue adequately at this time and asked him to wait a little longer before bringing Ling Yue back.
After some time, he brought up the matter again.
That time, she bashfully lowered her head, her hand caressing her abdomen, as she softly said, “Honey, I’m pregnant…”
And then, she explained that she was feeling uncomfortable as a pregnant woman and needed someone to take care of her. She couldn’t possibly care for another child and asked him to wait until she gave birth before they brought his son back.
Later on, their twins were born.
Again, he proposed the idea of bringing Ling Yue back.
That time, she said the twins were still too small and she would have trouble caring for three children all at once. Fearing she wouldn’t be able to take good care of Ling Yue, she asked him to wait until the twins were a little bit older before bringing Ling Yue back.
That time, he didn’t listen to her and chose to drive back to his hometown with the intention of fetching Ling Yue.
But Xiao Yue’s grandmother, after putting Xiao Yue to bed, told him earnestly that Xie Wennan did not want to raise Xiao Yue.
The grandmother explained that Xiao Yue was still too young, he was rarely home, and it would be too easy for Xie Wennan to make Xiao Yue disappear from this world if she wished.
She couldn’t take that risk.
The grandmother forbade him from bringing Xiao Yue back.
At the time, he had blamed the grandmother in his heart, feeling she had unfairly accused Xie Wennan.
Xie Wennan seemed so gentle and intelligent. How could she possibly do such a terrible thing?
