He chuckled again.

At the mention of Youyou, he recalled that boy whom he had not met yet.

His son.

“Youyou? What’s his name?”

“Er… Tianyou,” she shared hesitantly as she watched his expression.

Tianyou…

With his back to the door and deep-set eyes trained on her, he muttered the name a few times under his breath.

It’s a good name. Tianyou… Tianyou…

“He almost lost his life upon his birth. It’s a blessing from the heavens that he managed to survive and is now strong and healthy, so I named him Tianyou1.”

She explained to him; As his father, she felt obligated to let him know the origin of his son’s name.

“It’s a good name. Is his surname ‘Yun’?”

She looked up in surprise as she studied his face. Taking this as just a casual question, she carefully replied, “Yes, he follows my surname…”

“Who is he staying with now?” he asked.

“He’s staying with me.”

“Isn’t he staying with your father?”

Her brows furrowed as she remembered their painful history.

Her father liked Youyou a lot now. However, everyone, including Yun Yecheng, was initially opposed to her keeping the child.

She was still a student, and their family was riddled with debts. It was doubtful that she would have the energy and capacity to raise a young child. At that time, commodities, like diapers and infant formula, were not cheap. Her monthly expenses were heavy.

On top of all these, the boy’s health was not good. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect upon birth and, due to his weak constitution, was constantly sick.

She initially found this odd!

The older twin was so healthy, so why was the younger twin’s health this poor?

She asked the doctor once and he explained that when the two boys were in her womb, they had to compete for nourishment.

Since the older twin received enough nourishment, he was able to sustain his good health despite his premature birth. At that time, his first cry after delivery was so loud and clear even the obstetrician was amazed!

However, the younger twin did not manage to absorb enough nutrients from her. Adding the fact that he was delivered prematurely at eight months, it resulted in him not uttering a cry when he was born no matter what the nurse did. He was so weak his face had turned blue back then.

Fortunately, the nurse was experienced and managed to detect a weak sign of life from the boy. Quickly sending him to the emergency care unit, they somehow managed to keep his life.

When she first brought Youyou home, her father only looked at this infant with fear and worry.

This child was beautiful and adorable; his big eyes sparkled with intelligence. However, her family was just in no condition to raise him. Would this not be harming the child, instead?

As Youyou grew older, he displayed extraordinary wisdom and obedience beyond his age. That was when Yun Yecheng changed his mind about the child and poured more love into him.

His nurture for the boy had undeniably incurred his wife and biological daughter’s wrath and jealousy.

Yun Shishi already robbed half of his affection as an adopted daughter, and now, another ‘bast*rd’ had to come along to take away more. How could Yun Na accept that? Hence, she would find opportunity to bully Yun Tianyou every few days.

Once, she returned home late and saw Youyou sitting dejectedly in a corner, looking at his toy that was smashed to bits by Yun Na.

When he saw her at the door, he pouted and asked miserably, “Mommy, is Youyou a bad boy? Why do grandma and auntie dislike Youyou?”
