This charming and lovely young boy looked just like a little fairy. However, right now, the little fairy had a serious look on his face, seemingly possessing the maturity of an adult.“150 dollars… too expensive…” The youthful voice had a grave tone which was somewhat inconsistent with his age. He was like an old man; the way he furrowed his brows, as he started counting with his fingers. He then sighed in distress and his shoulders drooped, as though he was in a world of darkness.Yuna helplessly chuckled at his dejected demeanor, yet her heart was slightly bitter. She pursed her lips and reached out her hand to tap his shoulder. The little boy, shocked, twisted around. Realizing that it was her, his face turned a strange shade of red. “Mommy….”“Mommy looked for you for so long! Didn’t mommy ask you to follow me obediently and not to run around?”Yuna pretended to be mad, and the little boy clearly felt more guilt. His small hand carefully latched on to her neck. With his lashes sli
When Youyou was born, she had to breastfeed him, and this coincided with her studies. It was the toughest period of her life. She could not even sit through confinement properly. As she was accepted into a prestigious university, her workload was heavy. Whenever she was free, she had to catch up with overdue work. On a normal day, she had her part-time job while she took care of Youyou. Her body was on the verge of collapsing.After graduating from university, she managed to land herself a high-paying job, hence the family’s financial situation improved. With her adoptive mother and sister staying at home while she was out working, she was afraid of Youyou being treated in the same way as her by them.Back then, when she first brought Youyou home, Nasi apathetically sneered at her. She was unable to forget her calling Youyou a ‘little b*stard’ even till now. Therefore, as soon as she got herself a job, she left the house with Youyou and rented an apartment for the both of them.When s
She did not suspect this only once. If grandpa had not decided their engagement and this marriage was not established on grandpa’s wishes, this man would probably not have looked at her more than once. If he loved her, then why would he not allow her to kiss him and not even say an “I love you” to her?However, she loved him, with an almost servile manner, so she endured, gave in, and accepted all of him. He was noble, proud, and arrogant. He was the crown prince of the Azhe Group. Despite her being deeply doted on by Grandpa Azhe, this man was simply out of her reach.Thus, she comforted herself, for who knew how many times. She told herself that she was the Azhe family’s fiancée; she was, in the future, going to be the young mistress of the Azhe family. In a few months, their engagement ceremony would be held, so she should not make a fuss. She should be satisfied with that. Unfortunately, she was greedy. She did not only want him in that way – she wanted his heart even more!Manrou
On Friday night, Yuna brought Youyou back to the family household. At first, Grandpa Chang was against her and Youyou moving out, but, understanding her circumstances and her difficulties, he settled for having her visit the house once a week to accompany him for dinner.Despite Yuna feeling a little fearful, there was no other way to go around this. After all, she owed him a lot. If he had not taken her away from the welfare center, her fate would have probably been a lot worse.Yuna carried the groceries she bought and walked behind her son. Youyou bounced up the stairs and saw that Chang had long been waiting for them at the corridor. After the company’s closure, they sold the villa that they had previously stayed at and moved into a condominium far off from the city center. It was on the eighth floor, and there was no elevator.Seeing his grandpa, Youyou happily ran over to him and threw himself into his embrace. When Chang saw his adorable, little grandson, his heart was immediat
Lisa lowered her head and shot Youyou a cold glance. No matter which angle she looked at his youthful face, she could only feel annoyance. The flames in her heart raged even more. She squinted her eyes, raised her hand, and swung it down his face. “You little bastard, stop pretending to be a good boy! What are you, anyway?! Get out of my way! It’s all because of you!”Youyou’s face twisted to the side from the force of her slap. He slowly lowered his head and touched his cheek with his small hand. The strands of his bangs hid his eyes from view, thus except for his tightly pursed lips, his facial expression could not be seen.Yuna heard the commotion and rushed out of the kitchen. When she saw that Youyou had been hit, her anger was instantly provoked. With an aching heart, she dashed over to Youyou’s side and held him in her embrace. Looking up, her eyes were cold.Witnessing this, her father was unable to suppress his rage. He stood up and rushed toward Lisa. He lifted his palm at h
Yuna whispered into her son’s ear, “I’m sorry… Youyou…”Youyou opened his little mouth to speak but hesitated. He really wanted to ask: Did his daddy really not like him – not want him – so he threw him away and did not bother with him anymore?Was he really what those adults said? ‘Born to a father but acknowledged by none’?These questions sprang to his lips, but he forcefully swallowed them back.Youyou flipped his hand and held his mom’s tender, delicate fingers. He lifted his small face and gazed up at the night sky, speaking softly, “Mommy, even if my daddy doesn’t want us, I still have mommy! I love mommy the most, so don’t be sad! It’s all because of daddy that mommy is sad! When I grow up, I will definitely protect mommy!”Yuna raised her eyes, followed his line of sight, and gazed outside as well. She eventually gave a long sigh and hugged him even tighter.“Youyou is such a good child….”*The Azhe residence*In the living room, Yuki Azhe, who was sitting on the sofa, sudden
When Yuna returned from her meeting with the department head, she was shocked by what she saw, but she quickly regained her composure.Once the few bossy youngsters saw her, they immediately recognized her. They approached her and forcibly dragged her by the arm outside the office.One of them, who seemed to be the leader, ruthlessly slapped her on the face. He was evidently vexed. In a threatening manner, he asked, “You’re that b*tch’s sister?!”Yuna was stunned. She cradled her stinging cheek and studied them. She then realized who the ‘b*tch’ that they were talking about was! Nasi!“Y’know how much that sister of yours owes me?” He chewed on gum, his eyes looking her up and down a few times.Yuna docilely pursed her lips and kept her silence. Very quickly, she sorted everything out and understood the entirety of the situation.Calling Nasi to mind, she probably incurred this huge debt while she was out having fun. Her family’s financial situation was still unstable, so she had no m
Unsure whether it was the pain or something else, Yuna’s eyes suddenly filled with moisture. Tears soon streamed unabatedly down her cheeks and steadily dripped onto the ground. She was so upset that she wept. From a young age, she had led a wandering life. Although she later had a place to call home, other than Chang, no one welcomed her. She was, all alone, reliant on no one. With her job gone, she really did not know what to do. Her deeply suppressed indignation finally burst out. The unforeseen events over the past few days had mentally and physically taken a heavy toll on her, and she was already at her limit of what she could endure. On top of shouldering Nasi’s debt, she also lost her job. At this very moment, she was without a penny to her name. What should she do now? She was very resilient to the point of unyielding even when she was in a difficult situation, she fended for herself. No matter how tough or how tiring it was, with Y
