Chapter 23 -23: Discovered a Big Secret

Cen Bao surely knew where Mommy was.

He usually contacted Mommy with his tablet and, naturally, had a location tracker on Mommy’s phone a long time ago, he could find her regardless of whether her phone was on or off.

Yin Hehe hugged her son for a while before she remembered there was another child sticking close by.

“Xi Bao, why have you also come? Did you accompany your younger brother here?”

She looked at the little guy with surprise and reached out to pull him into her embrace as well.

But Sheng Xi immediately took a step back.

He had never been this close to anyone before, and, it seemed he had just overheard a significant secret.

Sheng Xi turned to leave.

“Xi Bao? Where are you going?”

Yin Hehe became anxious, quickly letting go of her son to grab the little guy.

“Xi Bao, are you upset because Auntie ignored you? I’m sorry, Auntie was just so excited seeing you two that I didn’t do it on purpose.”

She hurriedly explained, meaning that she had not intentionally ignored him.

This child, she knew, was both reclusive and sensitive; if she didn’t explain things to him in time, he might genuinely become angry.

Indeed, upon hearing her say this, the little guy still radiated a sense of resistance, but he finally spoke up quietly.

“No.”

“That’s good then, let’s quickly go inside. Auntie will make you something to eat.”

Yin Hehe was delighted to take the two children inside.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than she saw the just appeased child suddenly shrug her off with an electrified effort.

“I want to go back!”

He said coldly.

Yin Hehe, hearing this, became instantly anxious.

“Go back? By yourself? That’s not okay, it’s too unsafe. Sweetheart, be a good boy, eat your meal, and Auntie will personally take you back afterward, okay?”

She knelt down in front of him again, her voice reaching an ultimate level of tenderness to persuade the stubborn child to change his mind.

Sheng Xi paused.

Perhaps, always having grown up amidst scolding and criticism, it was his first time hearing someone coax him so tenderly.

He was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Also, he heard the words “sweetheart”…

Sheng Xi finally agreed reluctantly.

“That’s great, then I will cook right away. Cen Bao, come look after your brother.”

“Got it.”

Cen Bao had also returned to his lively and cheerful self by then.

Upon hearing Mommy asking him to take care of his brother, he immediately came over enthusiastically and took his brother’s small hand.

“Brother, Auntie’s cooking is really delicious. We can play a game first, and soon Auntie’s food will be ready.”

He brought him to the sofa in the living room and generously took out his own tablet.

Sheng Xi: “…”

Looking at him with a cold and indifferent gaze, suddenly, he asked, “Isn’t she your mommy?”

“…”

In an instant, Cen Bao, just recently all smiles, seemed as if he had been frozen in place, his handsome little face rapidly paling.

“I… I…”

In just a second, he became so flustered it was almost unseemly.

Sheng Xi looked away, his indifferent expression returning as he fiddled with the tablet, as if the question was of no concern to him.

Seeing this, Cen Bao suddenly clenched his small fists.

“Yes!”

He actually bravely admitted it.

Sheng Xi immediately looked up again, his handsome little eyes slightly widening.

“She is my mommy, and to treat my illness and prevent bad daddy from finding out, she had to look like this.”

Cen Bao affirmed again, with anger and certainty.

Sheng Xi: “…”

After a while, from the usually reticent boy, came the question, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell others?”

The moment the words left his mouth, Cen Bao shook his head.

“You won’t do it, we’re good friends, and brothers too, you couldn’t possibly betray me!”

He actually revealed those resolute little eyes again.

Except this time, it was trust in a half-brother from the same father.

Sheng Xi was stunned.

This was the first time someone trusted him so unconditionally, and the first time someone called him a friend.

“How boring!”

In the end, he just coolly dropped these words and lowered his head to continue playing his game.

Cen Bao was extremely happy.

He was certain that his brother would definitely help him keep this secret.

After half an hour, Yin Hehe had finally finished cooking the meal.

“Alright, my darlings, dinner is ready. Sorry, today is Auntie’s first time moving here, and I haven’t had the chance to buy groceries, so I made noodles. Come and try them.”

She brought them out, warmly inviting the two children to eat.

Upon hearing this, Cen Bao immediately put down his tablet and with his little hand, pulled his brother up next to him.

“Brother, let’s go eat. The noodles Auntie made are delicious, with eggs and ham too.”

“…”

A bowl of noodles could be that good?

Sheng Xi, who had always eaten delicacies, showed no great reaction upon hearing that it was just noodles.

Until he tasted the seemingly ordinary bowl of noodles on the small table.

“Delicious, right?”

Cen Bao watched as his eyes shone like stars, and he too smiled happily.

After the children finished eating, Yin Hehe also tidied up a bit, preparing to take them back.

“Mommy, I don’t want to go back!”

In the room, upon hearing that Mommy would send him back too, Cen Bao was unwilling and protested angrily.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

She didn’t want to send him back either, but the child needed surgery soon, and in this world, only that bastard could save him.

She slowly squatted down in front of the little guy.

“Baby, be good. Once your surgery is over, Mommy will take you away immediately, okay?”

“But… but he’s just a big bully, he only knows how to torment Mommy, I don’t want to see him!”

The little guy finally burst into tears.

He clung to Mommy’s neck, and no matter how Yin Hehe tried to console him, he refused to let go.

Yin Hehe: “…”

Outside in the living room, Sheng Xi: “…”

“Thump, thump, thump—”

Just then, there was actually a banging on the door outside the house.

“Who is it?”

Hearing such a heavy knocking, Yin Hehe, a lawyer, immediately felt something was amiss.

She quickly let go of her son and walked out.

She found that Sheng Xi, hearing the sound, had already turned his little face white with fear.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe immediately pulled the little fella over as well.

“Who on earth is hammering the door outside?”

“Ms. Han, please hand over the two children quickly, otherwise, you’ll be in trouble.”

It turned out to be Sheng Siyuan’s bodyguard, Xu Guannan.

So fast?

Yin Hehe’s face changed.

She looked at the two children in the room who were anxiously staring at her, and after a long moment, she replied, “Captain Xu, I just promised the children that I would send them back.”

“There’s no need for that, Ms. Han. What you need to do now is quickly hand over the children.”

Still no room for negotiation.

Moreover, there was a hint of danger in the bodyguard’s tone, as if Yin Hehe were to not hand over the children then and there,

she would die here!
