"Zhouzhou, don’t cry, Wanwan is here, don’t be scared." Ye Wanwan held Zhouzhou tightly, comforting him while she herself couldn’t help but start shedding tears.
Zhouzhou clung to Ye Wanwan’s neck as if he had finally found his pillar of strength, crying loudly into her neck, as if to vent all his grievances.
"Zhouzhou, stop crying, mommy is sorry!" Right now, Ye Wanwan didn’t have time to think about all the messy things, but she truly regretted participating in this reality show.
Meanwhile, Zhao Zhenzhen kept crying out, "I don’t want a little brother! I hate little brothers! I don’t want a little brother!"
Zhao Yingling ran over to grab Zhao Zhenzhen, who was crying and causing a scene, sternly scolding her, "Zhao Zhenzhen, what are you doing!"
While speaking, Zhao Yingling had already raised her hand and started to hit Zhao Zhenzhen, who cried and fussed even more.
Perhaps influenced by Zhao Zhenzhen’s emotions, Zhouzhou clung even tighter to Ye Wanwan and wouldn’t let go.
Ye Wanwan took a deep breath, feeling too lazy to argue with Zhao Yingling at this moment. She picked up Zhouzhou and quickly walked upstairs, thinking that once they were out of this environment, Zhouzhou would soon be soothed.
Zhang Xuehan had gotten up late today and was in a hurry to get ready. Before she could go downstairs, she heard the noise below and quickly came out to see Ye Wanwan holding Zhouzhou and rushing upstairs.
"What happened?" Zhang Xuehan asked instinctively.
"We’ll talk later," Ye Wanwan dropped the comment and carried Zhouzhou back to her bedroom.
Zhang Xuehan, looking at the closed door and listening to Zhao Zhenzhen’s ongoing tantrum downstairs, couldn’t help but glance downstairs again, feeling utterly drained.
Ye Wanwan cradled Zhouzhou and soothed him for a while; her phone’s ringtone rang, and she glanced at the phone, then quickly picked it up.
"Zhouzhou, stop crying, let’s talk to daddy," Ye Wanwan said while answering the video call.
The video connected, and Ye Wanwan saw Shen Yi. He seemed to be walking; the image was a bit shaky.
When the video connected, Shen Yi saw Ye Wanwan and Zhouzhou with red eyes, and his heart clenched tight as if something was squeezing it, causing him so much pain he could hardly breathe.
Shen Yi took a deep breath, trying to speak as calmly as possible, "What happened?"
He had just opened the live broadcast to see what Ye Wanwan and Zhouzhou were doing when he heard Zhouzhou’s cries, followed by Ye Wanwan consoling him, but her voice was also tinged with sobs.
No one could understand how panicked he was at that moment.
With red eyes, Ye Wanwan felt truly self-reproachful; she should never have brought Zhouzhou to this lousy program!
"Wanwan," Shen Yi called out to her.
Ye Wanwan sniffed, her voice slightly choking up, "I still don’t know what’s wrong. Zhouzhou was so upset, I just brought him up here first, thinking of stabilizing his emotions before anything else."
"Good, I know. You did very well," Shen Yi affirmed.
Ye Wanwan took another deep breath, holding back her tears, then turned to Zhouzhou and said, "Look, Zhouzhou, daddy is right here."
Zhouzhou had stopped crying, but his face still bore the marks of tears, looking at Shen Yi through the phone with heartbreaking pitifulness.
