Chapter 44 - She has no chance to bully you again! (1/2)

“Do you… know who he is?”

Wan Wan’s gaze returned to Yi Liangze as she followed the direction of Xiao Chi’s finger. The truth is, she had seen him when she first came in – this uncle was almost as handsome as her father!

Yi Liangze was overwhelmed with emotions. He bent his tall body and slowly squatted down. Looking at Wan Wan’s pretty little face, he extended his trembling hand and tried caressing her cute little braids.

“Hello, Uncle.” Wan Wan had always rejected close contact with strangers, but she had a strange sense of trust in this uncle, just like the first time she met her mother. Therefore, she addressed him politely.

Uncle! Yi Liangze’s heart trembled violently because of this form of address, and then it faded.

He was completely absent from Wan Wan’s growth process. If it weren’t for Old Lady Yi and Fang Yaqin’s unintentional discovery, he wouldn’t even know of her existence.

Yi Liangze remained silent for a long time. He stared into the child’s large, dark eyes. These eyes were so similar to He Yi’s and so similar to Baby’s. Who would have thought that the children who grew up in two different families would be twins of the same mother?

“Wan Wan.” Yi Liangze finally gently stroked Wan Wan’s cute little head. His movements were so gentle as if he was caressing an easily startled kitten. “It’s a very nice name. You are as beautiful as your name.”

Hearing the praise, the little girl smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Yi Liangze saw the charm of another woman from her lowering her head. It was so similar. Without a doubt, Wan Wan was more like her mother.

“I heard that your Aunt Su took your brother away from home recently. Only you and Chu Tianyi are living together.” Yi Liangze suppressed the waves in his heart and began to deal with things rationally. Since they didn’t have much time, he had to seize every moment he spent with Wan Wan.

Wan Wan raised her head again in surprise. “How do you know?”

Yi Liangze’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. He asked gently, “Are you happy that he’s not at home?”

“…” this was a very dangerous question, and Wan Wan cleverly didn’t answer it.

However, Yi Liangze read the answer from her eyes. Recently, after a detailed investigation of Wan Wan, Su Anqi often used the excuse to beat and maltreat Wan Wan. Her behavior was extremely vile. Although Chu Tianyi didn’t directly abuse Wan Wan, he treated her coldly and violently. He didn’t pay attention to her for a long time and even turned a blind eye to Su Anqi’s atrocities.

Due to the above reasons, Yi Liangze decided that before he took Wan Wan back to the Yi family, he would not give Su Anqi the chance to return to the Chu family and continue to abuse Wan Wan.

“Don’t worry, she won’t have the chance to go back to the Chu family to bully you in the future.” Yi Liangze made a promise in the child’s ear – A promise was a promise!

“Really… Really?” Wan Wan’s big eyes lit up, but she still couldn’t believe it.

During this time that Su Anqi had been absent, she felt that her life was so wonderful. Every day, only her father accompanied her. There was no sarcasm from her stepmother, no beating, scolding, or framing… she prayed selfishly, hoping that Su Anqi would never come home, but she never expected that her prayers would come true.

“Of course.” Yi Liangze blinked his eyes, he continued gently, “And you will have the love of your parents again. You will no longer have to wait for others to give birth. You will return to your real home. There will be your grandparents, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother. There will be a large family there. I know that they will love and dote on you the same way. They will make up for the negligence and neglect that they have shown you all these years. You also have a smart, beautiful, and cute brother like you. He would be your playmate at home and your protector in Kindergarten!”
