other form of entertainment inside.

As soon as he walked into the bedroom, Yu’s gaze was drawn towards the photo on the reading table. It was a family picture; in it was Yu Tong, a shrunken version of Yu Yin, and a woman he had never seen before. She had shining, black hair and slender eyes, somewhat similar to that of the current Yu Yin.

“Sorry, could you help me close the door too?” Yu Tong watched Yu shut the door and then sat down on the bed, patting the spot next to him. “I have some things to talk to you about. Come sit here.”

Yu eyed him for a long while before slowly walking over and sitting down on the bed.

“Mmm...we’ve already confirmed that Ye Xiao Xiang and Ji You Yin are half siblings. Ji You Yin knew this. It seems like before Mister Ye had married, he was pretty close with that teacher.” Yu Tong said in a casual and indifferent tone, “During the interrogation, Qi Rui Xue admitted that Ye Li Sheng had asked her to help take watch over Ye Xiao Xiang while she was ill. However, she hadn’t imagined that the moment she walked into the home, she saw that Ye Xiao Xiang had discovered the skull hidden inside the storage cabinet. In her panic, she accidentally killed the child—apparently, she had originally just wanted to knock the child unconscious.”

Upon hearing the follow-up information, Yu simply lowered his head without showing any particular response.

Yu Tong patted his shoulder and let out a sigh as he looked over. “I didn’t say anything about this to Ah Yin and Yu Xia, but when you met Ye Xiao Xiang in the elevator, did you...actually choose to take her hand despite knowing what would happen?” After hearing Yu Yin summarise what had happened, Yu Tong had subconsciously felt this. “Xiao Yu, did you think you should have gone with her at that time?”

The air in the room grew heavy.

Yu Tong wasn’t in a rush and didn’t press Yu. He just quietly sat there.

After a long while, Yu slowly nodded.

“Mm...I know you refused afterwards.” Yu Tong took his gla.s.ses off and reached his hand out to rub Yu’s head. “I’m very glad that you noticed you still have something important. That is a really amazing thing. If possible, we hope that you can continue to live out of your own will; you still have lots of time, so there’s no need to rush to make a decision or refuse anything. Just as Xia and I said in the beginning, you are now our child. So you can take your time. No matter what happens, we will always support you. Alright?”

With a raise of his head, the violet eyes gazed at Yu Tong, and then Yu nodded.

“With regards to your matter, we will definitely make sure the truth comes to light. Until then, you should just stay here with us.” Yu Tong smiled and wrapped his arms around the child next to him and patted his back.

He could feel the child hesitate slightly, but Yu eventually reached out to hug him back.

This was something that he never could have done a month ago.

As a result, Yu Tong’s smile grew brighter.

“Welcome home.”
