Mo Yixuan frowned and looked at his mother unhappily.
“That’s enough, mum. The child has already come home with us, so stop saying such terrible things. The judge had also ruled that Yan Yan could see the child anytime she wanted to.”
Mo Yixuan couldn’t understand why his mother was being so unreasonable. Li Qin sighed unhappily and said, “Although that was what the judge had ruled, He Xiyan is currently so emotionally unstable, so I’m afraid of letting her near the child. How about this? If she wants to see the child, she has to come to our house to see him and she can’t bring him anywhere else.”
She didn’t want He Xiyan to pull another disappearing act on her along with the child.
Mo Yixuan sighed in annoyance, then turned around to carry Yuan Yuan into his bedroom. He couldn’t be bothered to entertain his mother’s unreasonable attitude.
Li Qin followed after him and yelled at her son, “Yixuan, why are you carrying him into your room?”
It was almost 11 PM, so the child had to sleep.
Mo Yixuan closed the door to his room and snapped back in irritation, “Yuan Yuan is sleeping with me tonight.”
Li Qin was enraged and said through gritted teeth, “No way. I forbid you from sleeping with such a young child. You’re a man, so what do you know about taking care of him? Besides, Yuan Yuan is still so young and will need to eat when he’s hungry and he’ll also need someone to tuck him back in if he kicks his blankets away.”
Li Qin yelled angrily outside. She refused to believe that her son could take care of a child.
She couldn’t afford her grandson to catch a cold.
Mo Yixuan ignored his mother and placed Yuan Yuan on the large bed that was two meters wide.
Yuan Yuan curled up into a ball, as though he was a little frightened. This place was completely unfamiliar to him and although he had slept on large beds before, this was not his mother’s bed.
“Ma ma…” Yuan Yuan couldn’t help but call out for his mother again.
His voice was so hoarse that it made Mo Yixuan feel terrible.
Mo Yixuan quickly took off his clothes and took a quick shower, then threw on his pajamas that were suitable for winter. When he returned to the room, he discovered to his surprise that Yuan Yuan was no longer on the bed.
“Yuan Yuan…” Mo Yixuan called out in surprise and quickly scanned the room.
He finally saw Yuan Yuan at the doorway, standing on tiptoes as he tried his best to turn the doorknob, as though he wanted to get out of the room.
He quickly rushed over to carry the child back to the bed.
He had never spent the night with a child, so he wasn’t aware that he shouldn’t let a child he could walk out of his sight. The child could have done something dangerous during the ten minutes he had spent in the bathroom and could have climbed out of the window, or fallen off the bed.
Mo Yixuan heaved a long sigh and he was still a little worried. He had also finally realized how negligent he had been earlier.
“Ma ma…” Yuan Yuan cried out again. He hadn’t said anything else other than ‘ma ma’ since he arrived at the Mo family home.
Mo Yixuan felt his heart clench tightly as though needles were pricking at it.
He looked at Yuan Yuan and his arms tightened around the child.
His child had returned but his wife had not, so his heart was still empty.
He turned to look out of the window and saw that snow was falling outside once more. Snowflakes fell gently from the sky but disappeared the moment they landed.
“Yuan Yuan… I’ll definitely bring your mother back. I swear!” Mo Yixuan said with determination as he gently stroked his son’s head.
They were a family of three and thus, they couldn’t leave one member behind. Moreover, he couldn’t let Yuan Yuan grow up without his mother.
