They were twins in the first place; their eyes were especially identical.
The only difference was their aura.
Little Yichen, although childlike, tended to look serious and haughty, which fitted his identity as a rich man’s son. He was detached and not easy to get close.
Li Hanlin was muttering to himself at this juncture, “He lacks maternal love, after all.”
Yun Tianyou asked with a raised brow in return, “Does that mean that I lack paternal love?”
“Even without your father, Director Yun has managed to grow strong and steady.”
Agent Li had other thoughts in his mind, though. It isn’t actually strong and steady but abnormal growth, instead – a genetic anomaly to be precise. He has super brain and is already so scheming at this tender age…
Yun Tianyou frowned and looked concerned. “I’m just worried that, because he’s been deprived of motherly love at such a young age, he’ll develop psychological abnormality.”
“Not to worry, Director Yun—cough, cough…”
No one can be as psychologically abnormal as you, Director Yun…
You have genetic anomaly! Young Master Mu should be the normal one!
“Agent Li, what are you thinking about?” Yun Tianyou turned around and gave him a look.
He might only be six years old, but his observation skill was exceptionally sharp and alert; he could tell what the other party was thinking of with just a glance.
Li Hanlin stammered, “It – It’s nothing important. I’m just thinking that Director Yun really cares for his brother!”
“I care for him?”
Yun Tianyou raised his brow in half-jest as he forlornly shook his head. “Don’t be mistaken, Agent Li. I don’t feel much for this father and brother of mine.”
The listener was stunned momentarily.
“Why do I want to acknowledge them?”
His voice trembled slightly, and he gripped the railings so tightly his knuckles turned white.
This unusual behavior of Yun Tianyou caused him worry.
From what he knew, this little lad had always been calm and collected, and before his mother, he was innocent and childlike, looking after her without complaints.
No matter how challenging an obstacle might be, he was always that warm and kind Youyou. He was his mother’s support at her weakest point in life.
However, upon removing all those visages, Yun Tianyou was just a lonely boy standing alone at an obsolete corner. The child’s loneliness affected the adult so much he began to ache for him.
“Director Yun… What do you mean by your words?”
The warm and elegant smile had been eradicated from Youyou’s face. His face turned wan as he pursed his lips; he seemed to be struggling to keep his pain in check.
“Blood ties are useless stuff. Why should I call a stranger ‘daddy’ and a child ‘brother’ when they haven’t done anything for me in these past six years? Why should I care for them?”
Li Hanlin, who could no longer hold off the aching pain, walked up to the boy and held him tightly.
Youyou regained his composure thereafter and quietly went on, “Agent Li, my stupid mommy is really useless, isn’t she? She’s always being bullied and always giving in. No matter how heavy the grievances she faces, she’s always smiling when she’s at home. She wants to be the invincible mother before me. Isn’t that stupid?”
“Your mommy loves you dearly. She’s willing to give in for your sake.”
“Yes, you’re right… Stupid mommy.”
Youyou’s eyes looked distant and hollow as his thoughts dwelled on his nightmarish days.
From as long as he could remember, he was a child without a father.
