However, Yu Xiaobao knew very well that this was Wen Zhanyan.
Wen Jin fell silent for a moment before explaining calmly, âHeâs my son, Wen Zhanyan. Iâll take you to meet him, and you can call him Brother Zhanyan.â âGood!â Yu Xiaobao was quite adaptable.
Wen Jin nodded without saying much. He naturally carried Yu Xiaobao and walked toward the door.
It seemed like Yu Xiaobao was following Wen Jin. She didnât need to walk. Wen Jin was her support.
As the father and daughter exited, Wen Zhanyan happened to enter. Wen Zhanyan observed Wen Jinâs gentle and doting attitude towards Yu Xiaobao. He stood there with a half-smile, not saying anything.
However, Wen Jin seemed to be evaluating Wen Zhanyanâs emotional response as he looked at him.
When Yu Xiaobao spotted Wen Zhanyan, she spoke sweetly, âBrother Zhanyan, uncle said I could call you that. Iâm Yu Xiaobao. Nice to meet you.â
She climbed down from Wen Jinâs arms and ran toward Wen Zhanyan.
Wen Jin felt a bit nervous, fearing that Wen Zhanyan might reject Yu Xiaobao. After all, Wen Zhanyan didnât like physical contact, whether from adults or children.
However, Wen Jin was surprised by Wen Zhanyanâs response to Yu Xiaobao.
When Wen Zhanyan looked at Yu Xiaobao, he was extraordinarily gentle. âHello, Xiaobao.â
âBrother Zhanyan, Daddy made a lot of delicious food,â Yu Xiaobao immediately held Wen Zhanyanâs hand.
âDaddy?â Wen Zhanyan raised an eyebrow.
âYes, your daddy,â Yu Xiaobao replied confidently.
She understood that Wen Zhanyan was subtly reminding her not to reveal too much. But Yu Xiaobaoâs sweet demeanor and words wouldnât get her into trouble. No one would take issue with anything she said.
Wen Zhanyan raised an eyebrow but remained composed, silently observing Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao realized that Wen Zhanyan wanted to know when she had arrived. She blinked, indicating that it wasnât the best place to discuss it.
Wen Zhanyan naturally understood and nodded, seeming somewhat indifferent. âLetâs have breakfast.â
âAlright.â Yu Xiaobao was still quite assertive.
Unlike Wen Zhanyanâs condition after recovering from his fever, Yu Xiaobao was full of energy.
Even though Wen Zhanyanâs fever had subsided, he was still somewhat weak, and his complexion wasnât great.
Yu Xiaobao looked at Wen Zhanyan seriously. âBrother Zhanyan, are you feeling unwell?â
âIâm fine. My fever has subsided,â Wen Zhanyan reassured her.
âThen you should eat more to stay healthy. My mommy is super talented. Let my mommy take a look at you. Iâm sure youâll be fine!â Yu Xiaobao praised Yu
Anwan.
âAlright,â Wen Zhanyan agreed.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaobao had already pushed her favorite omelet in front of Wen Zhanyan.
Wen Zhanyan accepted it without changing his expression and began eating it in small bites.
Wen Jin couldnât be more surprised.
Ironically, Wen Zhanyan detested eggs the most, in any form. He would refuse to eat them.
If eggs appeared on the table, Wen Zhanyan would promptly leave, without caring about anyoneâs feelings.
Even if the Emperor were present, Wen Zhanyan wouldnât yield.
But now, Wen Zhanyan was eating the food Yu Xiaobao had given him.
As Wen Jin observed, he increasingly felt that Yu Xiaobao and Wen Zhanyan were like twins. Otherwise, why would Wen Zhanyan naturally obey Yu Xiaobao?
After all, in the past, Wen Zhanyan wasnât so easy to deal with.
However, Wen Jin didnât show this surprise on his face. He coaxed Yu Xiaobao, â
âIf you give your omelet to Zhanyan, uncle will make you another one, okay?â
âOkay, thank you, uncle,â Yu Xiaobao sweetly replied with a smile.
Wen Jin tousled Yu Xiaobaoâs hair and returned to the kitchen.
Yu Xiaobao watched as Wen Jin disappeared and scooted closer to Wen
Zhanyan.
Wen Zhanyan continued eating and asked casually, âXiaobao, how did you get here?â
âI had a fever!â Yu Xiaobao stuck out her tongue. âI called Mommy, but Daddy answered, and then Daddy brought me here.â
Wen Zhanyan was somewhat surprised, but he quickly nodded in understanding without saying anything.
It was a twist of fate as if it had been destined.
But soon, Wen Zhanyan suddenly remembered something. âWhat about Dabao?â
âDonât worry, he wasnât discovered,â Yu Xiaobao waved her hand. âThen I heard Uncle Butler muttering that Uncle left early in the morning. Iâm afraid he went to find Dabao. Theyâre only happy when weâre not around. They sit around and play games all day like itâs nighttime.â
Wen Zhanyan breathed a sigh of relief.
The two little ones lowered their heads and chatted, speaking softly so only they could hear.
To outsiders, though, their bond seemed strong, as if it were completely natural.
âWhat are you talking about?â Wen Jin asked casually, then placed a new omelet pancake in front of Yu Xiaobao. âHereâs your omelet, Xiaobao.â âThank you, Uncle!â Yu Xiaobao replied crisply.
There was still a ring of milk around her mouth. When she smiled, her eyes resembled two crescent moons, making her especially adorable.
Wen Jin couldnât help but reach for a tissue to wipe Yu Xiaobaoâs face, but Wen Zhanyan was even quicker and had already taken care of it.
Wen Jin felt speechless.
Wen Zhanyan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, acting as if nothing was amiss. âDaddy, Iâd like some millet porridge.â
He didnât spare Wen Jin a glance, his disdain couldnât be clearer.
Wen Jin suddenly had a feeling that Wen Zhanyan was vying for his favor.
Yu Xiaobao could be coaxed by Wen Zhanyan, but he wouldnât allow anyone else to touch him.
Was this a rebellion?
But, surprisingly, Yu Xiaobao also smiled at Wen Jin and said, âUncle, Iâd like a bit of millet porridge too. Mommy said millet porridge is the best for sick kids.â
Wen Jinâs expression immediately changed. He coaxed Yu Xiaobao in a fawning manner, âAlright, then Uncle will get you some millet porridge.â
Yu Xiaobao nodded eagerly, looking even more like a little groundhog as she munched on the omelet.
She sent Wen Jin away with a smile.
Wen Zhanyan covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Yu Xiaobao immediately looked at Wen Zhanyan with concern. âBrother
Zhanyan, are you not feeling well?â
âNo, just eat your food,â Wen Zhanyan replied in a hoarse voice.
Yu Xiaobao nodded and resumed eating. Wen Zhanyan watched her, feeling content.
For all these years, the Wen family had been too quiet, almost lifeless. Yu Xiaobao was like the brightest star, appearing in your life and illuminating the darkest nights..
