From as long as he could remember, he was a child without a father .
He was not bothered at first by the absence of a father figure . His father only existed in his mind . His mother, on the other hand, was very much real and had been by his side, loving and indulging him .
Children were sensitive, so even if the memories were hazy, they could still subconsciously feel their parents' love for them .
Growing up in a single-parent household, he inadvertently invited gossips . His mother had him when she was still studying, and news of her illegitimate child somehow spread through school like wildfire .
Many took this chance to slander her . The girls in school, who were jealous of her, ganged up on her and petitioned for her dismissal .
His mother was suspended from school for half a year because of this .
After much persuasion by Yun Yecheng, the principal unwillingly agreed to let her stay, but she lost the chance to further her studies .
When Youyou became older, he had cried for a daddy then .
He had seen his classmates with their loving parents in kindergarten and was envious of them for having both their father and mother .
That was when he realized the significance of having a man to hold up a family .
If there was no man in it, a household would be despised!
Their pair of single mother and illegitimate child was always getting bullied; he could not forget the shame and despise he had to endure when he was younger .
Oftentimes, his mother would sit by his bed and cry her regrets of keeping him by her side while he pretended to be fast asleep .
“If I hadn't selfishly taken you away back then, you would not be suffering like this and would have a happy life, instead . ”
With his eyes shut, he felt droplets of tears falling cold on his face .
“She's been enduring all the grievances in silence just to protect me . She thought she can fool me, but I know everything!”
He took a deep breath; his eyes revealed pain and resolve that were unusual for his age .
“Mommy is not strong, so I'll be strong for her! The household doesn't have a man, so I'll be one!”
He gazed up at Li Hanlin as he was saying this and saw the latter looking at him wretchedly, deep in tears .
Youyou was taken back . “Agent Li, why are you crying?”
“Director Yun, you had such a terrible experience; I didn't expect…” he turned teary-eyed again as he replied .
He gave a disdainful look at his agent . “How can a grown-up man cry so much? It's embarrassing . ”
Li Hanlin was dumbfounded .
“Director Yun, I feel sorry for you!”
Youyou coolly replied, “If you really feel sorry, make sure you take the best pictures of my mommy when she comes out later . ”
“How…”
Yun Tianyou turned around and looked annoyingly at Little Yichen with his perfect side profile . “It seems that I can't bear to share my mommy with another child,” he commented resignedly .
His mother was his and his alone . He was unwilling to share her love to anyone, not even to his father or his twin brother . No one!
Inside the dining hall, the camera flashes would not relent .
Little Yichen was blinded by the glaring lights . They hurt his eyes too much .
He reached his little hands to rub his eyes . His father caught his movement and immediately signaled the assistant to restrain the desperate media reporters .
“No more pictures!”
“Daddy…” Little Yichen suddenly rubbed his chest, his brows forming a deep crease . “My chest is a little stuffy . ”
