Chapter 857: Chapter 853
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brows, "Wanwan, you’re pregnant now, and for safety reasons, you can’t stay with Little Mantou and the one in your belly. Otherwise, Helian Si will be in danger!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned.
This was not the outcome she wanted!
She had already left Jinxuan, did she still have to leave Little Mantou?
"Wanwan."
Le Zhengsheng frowned, softly persuading her, "I’ll take Little Mantou away, you stay here for now..."
"No!" Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I don’t want to!"
"Wanwan." Le Zhengsheng sighed, "Don’t you trust me?"
"No..." Yu Sangwan’s eyes turned red, "I can’t bear to... I can’t bear to leave Little Mantou!"
"Trust me!" Le Zhengsheng put his hand on her shoulder, "I’m doing this for your good. I also hope you and Helian Si can overcome this hardship... But right now, it’s his most difficult time! Absolutely nothing can go wrong!"
Yu Sangwan looked at him with red eyes, unable to say a word.
"Listen."
Le Zhengsheng also felt reluctant, "You brought Little Mantou here to be with me for medical treatment. Qin Shaoju knows that! So, Little Mantou must leave! Otherwise, things like today will happen again. Do you want a second time? Little Mantou is still young, and he was already scared today."
As a mother, Yu Sangwan ultimately couldn’t bear it.
She bit her lip and shook her head, "I don’t want to... of course, I don’t want to."
"Wanwan, I will take Little Mantou to a safe place. Don’t be sad... you and your son will reunite with the family soon!"
Yu Sangwan choked up and finally nodded with difficulty, "I... understand."
She paused, "Qingming will surely be saddened; this child... I owe him too much."
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brows; indeed, being born as Lu Jinxuan’s child, was that truly a blessing?
...
"Wanwan!"
Gong Xueyan hurriedly came back, only to find out that something happened to Little Mantou.
"How did this happen? Is Little Mantou alright now?"
"He’s fine now." Yu Sangwan shook her head, but her eyes were red.
"What happened?" Gong Xueyan asked when she saw it.
Yu Sangwan was sad, "Asheng wants to send Little Mantou away, saying it’s unsafe for him here."
Gong Xueyan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That’s true... Even I know Little Mantou is here, so Qin Shaoju must know it too."
She held Yu Sangwan’s hand and found her palm cold, "Wanwan, don’t worry... Le Zhengsheng will definitely handle it well."
"Mm." Yu Sangwan nodded, but her brow still did not relax.
...
The next day, Yu Sangwan and Le Zhengsheng explained the situation to Little Mantou.
Upon hearing it, Little Mantou stubbornly turned away.
The young boy was noticeably taller than children his age, and as he turned, Yu Sangwan immediately shed tears.
"Qingming."
"Seriously!" Little Mantou’s voice was choked, "You want me to go again! Why can’t I be with Mom?"
"Qingming." Yu Sangwan stepped forward, holding her son’s hand, "Listen to Mom..."
Little Mantou was stubborn, turning away again, refusing to look at his mother.
"Qingming." Yu Sangwan felt very sad, "Dad’s going through a difficult time... Many people want to harm him! You’re his son, but he can’t acknowledge you now!"
"Why?" Little Mantou suddenly lifted his head and yelled at his mother, "Why? Why can’t he acknowledge me! I’m the president’s son, why can’t I openly let people know I’m Helian’s son?"
Yu Sangwan was stunned; she had never seen her son like this.
The child had grown; even though he was still a child, he already understood!
"Qingming." Yu Sangwan choked up, "Your dad doesn’t want it either, and he’s endured a lot! He’s not an ordinary father... He has the entire nation’s people to care for. Qingming, haven’t you always admired him?"
Little Mantou’s eyelids drooped, tears cascading down.
"But, Mom..." Little Mantou cried, "I also want to be with Dad and Mom! Even if Dad isn’t a great president!"
"I know!" Yu Sangwan hugged her son, "Mom knows everything! But, Qingming, a man’s responsibilities can’t be easily shirked, a real man must be brave enough to bear them, right?"
Little Mantou kept his mouth tightly shut, tears rolling down in streams.
Finally, he nodded, "Yes, I know."
"Good boy." Yu Sangwan squeezed out a smile, "So, Little Mantou, don’t blame Dad! As his family, we should support him, especially now, right?"
"Mm!" Little Mantou nodded vigorously, though he still felt wronged.
He looked up at Le Zhengsheng, "Asheng, where will you take me? When are we leaving?"
Le Zhengsheng squatted down to look at him, "Mr. Lu, you’re truly amazing. You’ll grow up to be a man as strong as your father! Well done! Soon, in the next couple of days, so Mr. Lu won’t have to go to class and can spend more time with your mom, okay?"
"Mm!" Little Mantou nodded, eyes red.
Yu Sangwan’s heart ached, wishing for this life to end soon!
Two days later, Le Zhengsheng set off with Little Mantou, along with Gu Xiaoning.
"Qingming." Yu Sangwan tidied her son’s clothes, "Be good and listen to instructions, you’re a big boy now."
"I know." Little Mantou gently stroked his mother’s belly, "When we come back home, will my sister be out?"
Yu Sangwan choked up as she nodded, "Yes."
"Then..." Little Mantou, with red eyes, tried hard to hold back tears, "I must be the first to kiss my sister! Not even Dad can go first!"
"Alright." Yu Sangwan laughed through her tears, "Mom promises you."
"Pinky promise!"
"Okay."
Mother and son linked their pinkies, making a promise.
Chapter 548: Disaster Will Eventually Pass
After Little Mantou left, Yu Sangwan became very silent and seldom smiled.
Gong Xueyan specially took leave to stay with her at home.
"By now, they should have arrived, right?"
"Mm." Yu Sangwan nodded.
Gong Xueyan sighed silently, "How’s everything on Guan Chao’s side? Have you been keeping up these past few days?"
"Nothing special, it should be fine."
"Wanwan." Gong Xueyan didn’t know how to comfort her, "Think more about positive things. If you’re always unhappy, this little one in your belly won’t be happy either."
Yu Sangwan reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "I know, I’m fine... It’ll get better."
...
Le Zhengsheng and Gu Xiaoning took Little Mantou to F City, a tech city.
Le Zhengsheng was driving, with the two kids in the backseat... the older one, Gu Xiaoning, and the younger one, Lu Qingming.
"Hey!" Gu Xiaoning leaned against the car window, pointing to a tall spire in the distance, "What’s that place? The top of that tower is so unique! Very pretty."
Little Mantou glanced over, "That’s a school, not a tower."
"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning stuck out her tongue, "You’re so young, but you know a lot. What school is it?"
"B University." Little Mantou replied listlessly, speaking briefly.
B University? Gu Xiaoning repeated, suddenly excited, "Oh! I remember! When I was in school, a teacher... He studied here."
Le Zhengsheng looked back, his tone rising, "Hmm? Your teacher? Doctor?"
"Haha! Yeah!" Gu Xiaoning laughed, nodding, "Actually, he wasn’t a formal teacher! Just, when we had practice lessons, there was a professor with his students who demonstrated to us... That teacher was one of the students."
As she described in detail, Le Zhengsheng listened, his brow furrowing more and more tightly.
Suddenly, he gripped the steering wheel tightly and roared, "Enough, I don’t want to hear it."
"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning was stunned, "What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?"
