Ye Wanwan stood up and quickly walked over to open the door, then she saw Shen Yi standing at the entrance.
Her face was filled with an uncontainable surprise, mixed with a bit of excitement, "Why have you come?"
Shen Yi knew there were others in the bedroom, so he simply raised his hand to touch Ye Wanwan’s head, speaking affectionately, "I’ve come to take you home."
Upon hearing Shen Yi’s words, Ye Wanwan felt both surprised and an irresistible sense of grievance. Although nothing had happened that was too difficult to resolve, she couldn’t help but have tears well up in her eyes when she heard what Shen Yi said.
"Then, Wanwan, we’ll head back to our room first. We can hang out with you and Zhouzhou some other time," Su Tong said from behind. With her husband having come for her, they felt it wouldn’t be polite to stick around like spare wheels.
Ye Wanwan turned around and nodded at them, and Su Tong along with Zhang Xuehan took the children and left, each returning to their own bedrooms.
After Shen Yi entered and closed the door, Ye Wanwan was about to speak but was already embraced by Shen Yi, who slightly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
It was just a light kiss, yet it seemed to be filled with longing.
At that moment, Zhouzhou also ran over from the side, stretching out his hands to hug the legs of both Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi.
Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi exchanged a glance, but the only person feeling awkward was Ye Wanwan. She let go of Shen Yi, and naturally, he let go of her and then picked up Zhouzhou.
"Does Zhouzhou miss Daddy?" Shen Yi held Zhouzhou, looking at him and asking softly.
Zhouzhou vigorously nodded his head, then clung to Shen Yi’s neck, using this gesture to express his longing for him.
There weren’t many places to sit in the bedroom, so they simply sat down on the couch.
Ye Wanwan asked, "How come you suddenly came over?"
Shen Yi replied, "I turned on the live stream this morning and saw Zhouzhou crying bitterly. Zhouzhou has never cried so hard before; I couldn’t rest easy."
His words were not an exaggeration. Zhouzhou was the first child of the Shen Family, and his character had always been quiet and calm, not prone to crying or making a fuss. The maid took great care of him at home, making sure he never got hurt, and there were no other children at home to bully him.
So this morning’s bout of Zhouzhou’s crying was the first time he had ever cried so painfully since he was born.
There was also Ye Wanwan. Zhouzhou was crying in her arms, and while comforting Zhouzhou, she couldn’t help but cry as well.
He had turned on the live stream and witnessed that scene, and God knew how worried he was at that moment, wishing he could transport himself directly to Wanwan and Zhouzhou’s side.
With her head lowered, Ye Wanwan whispered, "I’m sorry."
"This isn’t your fault, you’ve already done very well," Shen Yi freed one hand to stroke Ye Wanwan, comforting her. He had already learned about what had happened on the way here.
Ye Wanwan shook her head, the "I’m sorry" was not just because of Zhouzhou’s crying today.
It was also because she had not truly taken to heart the countless times Shen Yi had comforted her before.
"You said you want to quit, have you talked to the director about it?" Shen Yi changed the subject and asked.
Ye Wanwan nodded. "I’ve already spoken to them. I told them to contact Assistant Chen. They can discuss the breach of contract fee with Assistant Chen."
"Alright," Shen Yi nodded, then he asked, "So when do we go back?"
