Youyou rebuked him, then patted his head and snorted. "Did you take good care of Mommy and Little Sister while I was gone?"
"Of course! Whether you're here or not, I'll take good care of Mommy and Yueyao." His expression suddenly froze as a thought struck him. He hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Now that you're back, you won't leave us again, will you, Youyou?"
The boy's expression was calm as he shook his head. "Not anymore."
"Really?!" For some reason, Little Yichen was not happy to hear this response. He hesitated. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
Youyou laughed. "If you want to ask something, just ask. There's no need to be so secretive."
"You're back, but what about … him?" Little Yichen looked troubled.
Although he only used the word "he", Youyou understood who Little Yichen was referring to. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you hoping to have him come back?"
