"Is Zhouzhou only calling for me?" Ye Wanwan looked surprised, tilting her head to look at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi pondered for a moment before seriously saying, "Perhaps it’s because Zhouzhou likes you more, so he called you first."
"Really?" After Shen Yi said that, Ye Wanwan suddenly felt that it was a delightful thing that Zhouzhou could now only call for her.
He hadn’t called for "Daddy" first, but instead for "Mommy", which surely meant that Zhouzhou preferred his mother!
Although she knew Shen Yi was trying to comfort her, hearing that Zhouzhou liked her still made her irresistibly happy.
Ye Wanwan felt an indescribable sense of contentment deep in her heart, as long as Zhouzhou liked her, as long as Zhouzhou liked her!
She had not been a competent mother before, so she was very afraid that Zhouzhou wouldn’t like her, very afraid that Zhouzhou wouldn’t want to be her child again.
Now that Zhouzhou had come back to her side, once again becoming her child, this time she would be a good mother, never to let Zhouzhou down again.
The rain outside continued to fall, and when lightning flashed, it was still terrifying, and Zhouzhou was still very scared.
But now with Ye Wanwan by his side, even if he was scared, he only clung tightly to Ye Wanwan’s neck, no longer crying incessantly.
After reaching home, Shen Yi sent a message to Lin Xu, telling her they had arrived home safely.
Zhouzhou was not a child who used to be clingy with his mother, but tonight, he was unusually attached.
A whole day had passed, and he had cried a lot, drenching his whole body in sweat, and now it was already past eight o’clock, about time for Zhouzhou to rest.
So as soon as they got back, Shen Yi asked Aunt Yang to prepare a bath for Zhouzhou.
After hearing this, Aunt Yang went to run the bathwater, and Shen Yi went to the kitchen to prepare some formula for Zhouzhou, who hadn’t eaten anything all evening and must be hungry.
Zhouzhou enjoyed the formula, lying in Ye Wanwan’s arms, feeling very comfortable.
Once the formula was finished, and Aunt Yang had prepared the bathwater, Shen Yi was ready to take Zhouzhou for his bath, but Zhouzhou was reluctant and hugged Ye Wanwan’s neck tightly without letting go.
Seeing Zhouzhou so attached to her naturally delighted Ye Wanwan. She said to Shen Yi, "You haven’t eaten yet. You go ahead and eat. I’ll bathe Zhouzhou tonight."
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Ye Wanwan carried Zhouzhou to the bath, and he behaved well, not making any fuss at all.
But after the bath, Zhouzhou didn’t want to leave Ye Wanwan, following her like a Little Weiba.
Seeing that it was already past nine o’clock, Ye Wanwan said softly to Zhouzhou, "It’s time for bedtime, Zhouzhou. How about Mommy tells you a story before sleep?"
"Together." Zhouzhou looked at Ye Wanwan, his voice milky as he spoke.
Ye Wanwan agreed readily, "Okay, together."
In the children’s room, Ye Wanwan skillfully told Zhouzhou a story, and his eyelids fluttered until they gradually closed.
When Zhouzhou was completely asleep, Ye Wanwan carefully left the children’s room, asking Aunt Yang to keep an eye on him.
By that time, Shen Yi had finished his meal, taken a bath, and Ye Wanwan also went back to their bedroom, picking up clothes to bathe.
Shen Yi, who was leaning on the bed headrest reading a book, was startled by the sound of knocking. He paused, put down the book, and went to open the door.
But as he opened the door, Shen Yi saw a remorseful Aunt Yang, and in her arms, the child Zhouzhou.
