Chapter 38: Mother and Son’s Heart-to-Heart

“What is my baobao saying?”

Truly, when had she ever forbidden her son from joining the show?

Yan Wang stared intently at his mother’s reaction.

Bewilderment, surprise, and confusion flashed across her face.

His heart sank…

She really does think I’m not presentable enough…

Yan Yueqing noticed her son’s faint disappointment and quickly embraced the little one, sincerely asking, “Does my baobao want to join Mommy on the show?”

The sudden hug made Yan Wang tense up!

He wanted to push away, yet couldn’t bear to leave the warmth of her arms…

After a symbolic struggle for two seconds, he nestled tightly against her.

His eyes held a trace of expectation, but his lips curled dismissively.

Who wants to join you on the show?!

Boring!

His small hand subtly pinched the hem of his shirt…

Having read countless novels, Yan Yueqing understood this reaction perfectly.

When a little tsundere says no, it means yes!

The harsher the refusal, the more they want it on the inside!

She smiled and confessed honestly, “Today, the little girl who joined Mommy on the show invited you to play with us next time. But my baobao is very independent, so I didn’t want to decide for you and thought to ask you later.

Then… Mommy got so caught up in the excitement of buying a house for us to live in together that I completely forgot about it! I’m sorry, it’s all Mommy’s fault for being careless. Thank goodness you remembered!”

Yan Wang, sensitive and almost distrustful of familial love due to past experiences, felt uneasy. Although she meant well, such comments should be avoided! Any slight misstep would make him feel like she was ashamed of his frailty!

Meticulous care and persistent tenderness were just what this sensitive child needed!

While gently patting his thin back, Yan Yueqing held him a bit tighter.

Yan Wang’s small face pressed against his mother’s chest, feeling her steady heartbeat.

For some reason, he suddenly felt… very safe.

Yan Yueqing brushed his messy hair aside, not rushing him to decide, and suddenly smiled as if recalling something.

She spoke softly, with warmth in her voice, “When you were in Mommy’s belly, you were just like this, always close…

I remember during the check-ups, you’d curl up your little hands and feet, not letting the ultrasound see you clearly. The doctor had to use a little speaker outside Mommy’s belly, calling out, ‘Wake up, baby, it’s time to get up!'”

Recalling those moments during the 4D scan, Yan Yueqing’s eyes curved into a gentle smile, her expression filled with tenderness. As she returned to the present, she continued softly:

“It was my first time being a mother too, feeling you grow day by day inside me, sharing the same heartbeat… the same blood… baobao, Mommy really loves you.” She looked down, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Yan Wang remained silent, leaning against her, quietly absorbing her words.

His curled eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, exuding an ethereal, dreamlike beauty.

They fell silent, and just as Yan Yueqing thought her son had fallen asleep, he suddenly spoke up.

In a soft, deliberate tone, he said seriously, “I want to go.”

The two words were firm and resolute.

Yan Yueqing smiled at him, “Okay, as long as you want to go, Mommy will take you anywhere, alright?”

Yan Wang didn’t respond, closing his eyes.

His stern little face showed signs of softening.

Yan Yueqing smiled, holding her little tsundere even tighter.
