Chapter 416: Chapter 423: What Happened?

“`

Han Yu looked at the warm and affectionate scene of the mother and children laughing together, his heart softened into a puddle. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind: nothing could compare to a family being together like this, happy and harmonious—career ambitions weren’t so important after all.

However, this thought merely flashed through Han Yu’s mind without taking hold. The truth was, he couldn’t truly give up, for building a career and achieving things had always been his wish and belief. To speak of giving up was only possible after truly achieving his ambitions, and the young Han Yu still had a burning desire for recognition and revenge to realize.

Knowing that Dad hadn’t mistreated Mother, all three little ones had smiles blooming on their faces, but there was still a hint of uncertainty and worry on Brother Xing’s face. He didn’t know what changes had taken place in this life, everything seemed different—Father and Mother, who had been distant in the past, were now loving and caring in this life, giving him a happy family and two additional siblings. Everything was moving in a positive direction, which was the greatest dream he had in his previous life, and he was determined to maintain it.

But today, seeing the tears on Mother’s face, Brother Xing suddenly felt a sense of crisis, fearing that Father and Mother might return to the estrangement and coldness of his previous life, or even worse than being strangers. He knew he had to find out what the argument was really about. After all, he wasn’t truly a three-year-old child who would believe such excuses meant for fooling children.

Su Wenyue didn’t miss the thoughtful expression on Brother Xing’s face, but with Han Yu and the other two children present, it wasn’t appropriate to probe or ask too much. It was only after Han Yu took Brother Chen and Sister Yu out to the Courtyard to play that Su Wenyue took the opportunity to sit Brother Xing on her lap.

“Brother Xing, Mother sees that you have something on your mind. Is there anything you can share with Mother?” Su Wenyue asked softly.

But Brother Xing merely hung his head low. Although he knew that Mother had noticed something, she didn’t explicitly point it out. At his tender age of not quite three, there were things he felt he couldn’t discuss, even with Mother. The events of his previous life made him especially crave Mother’s affection and left him feeling insecure, making it hard for him to completely trust someone.

Su Wenyue saw Brother Xing’s reluctance to speak. Having gone through a rebirth herself, although she did not understand whether Brother Xing experienced the same, she could empathize with his complex feelings. She looked at him intently and waited patiently for him to respond.

“Brother Xing, Mother has something she would like to consult you about,” Su Wenyue said when Brother Xing remained silent for a long time, feeling a slight disappointment in her heart. Perhaps Brother Xing couldn’t fully trust her, which was why he remained silent; indeed, she had been an unfit mother in her previous life. If this really was her Brother Xing, then having what they have now was already more than she could ask for.

Hearing Su Wenyue’s words, Brother Xing looked up at her. Though he said nothing, his face clearly asked for her to continue.
