MSRV Ch 91 â Persistence
Fu Yunruo had to return quickly, so she didnât prolong the conversation and hastily bade farewell to Si Yue. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her son had been waiting with accusing eyes.
âWhere have you been, Mom? Why did it take you so long?â
Fu Yunruo hurriedly explained: âIt was the community manager. I didnât pay attention, and we ended up talking for so long.â
âI didnât see you when I went out!â Wenwen widened his eyes. His mom was actually lying to him! Could it be that the person who came was Si Yue?!
âThatâs because we went to another place to talk,â Fu Yunruo almost couldnât find an excuse. She quickly held Wenwenâs hand and said, âHave you finished your dinner? Mommy is so hungry, she hasnât eaten!â
Qian Shengnan carried a tray out of the kitchen and explained: âWenwen refuses to eat. He insisted we must wait for you to come back.â So she took the dishes back to the kitchen to keep them warm.
Fu Yunruo gently touched Wenwenâs belly, feeling distressed that this little watermelon had lost some weight. She couldnât help being annoyed with Si Yue. Why couldnât he choose a better time!
âItâs Momâs fault. Mom shouldnât have forgotten about the time.â
After being appeased for a few moments, Wenwenâs expression softened, and he said with a stern face, âYou cannot do this again next time, or else Iâll get angry.â
âMom will never make the same mistake again!â Fu Yunruo quickly promised. Then she hurriedly urged her son to eat, lest he got starved and lost more weight.
After dinner, Fu Yunruo accompanied Wenwen to do his homework. Then came the mother-son time. Fu Yunruo really wanted to ask Wenwen why he rejected Si Yue, but after giving it some thought, she decided to let them resolve it on their own.
Anyway, she would always be on Wenwenâs side, no matter what.
Fu Yunruo didnât say a word, so Wenwen brought up the matter on his own. âMom, Iâm going to tell you something. You must listen well.â
âOkay, Momâs listening.â
âYou must never be affected by Si Yueâs sweet words. He is very cunning.â Wenwen emphasized. He didnât believe that it was the community manager who had kept his mother occupied during the dinner.
âOkay! Donât worry, I wonât!â Fu Yunruo nodded. Then she flicked Wenwenâs forehead, âBe polite. You cannot call older people by their names directly.â
âWhy should I be polite to him?â Wenwen snorted.
Fu Yunruo elongated his voice: âWenwenâŠâ
âOkay. Itâs Uncle YueâŠâ Wenwen said reluctantly.
As Fu Yunruo patted his head, Wenwenâs chubby cheeks puffed out in discontent. âDonât change the subject!â
Wenwen gave several other instructions, which Fu Yunruo complied cooperatively. Seeing her good attitude, he ended the topic with satisfaction.
Early the next morning, Wenwen and Fu Yunruo departed for kindergarten as usual. When they left the house, Si Yue was already on the stand by, ready to send Wenwen to school together.
Wenwen refused to even give him a glance and hurriedly pulled his mother into the car.
But Si Yue personally drove his own car and trailed behind them.
After arriving at the school, Si Yue stayed in the car and watched until Wenwen entered the gate before leaving.
This continued for several days in a row, causing Wenwen to almost explode in anger. Whyâs this person so persistent?!
âWhatâs the deal with that guy?!â Wenwenâs eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Fu Yunruo glanced back and noticed a considerable distance between them and an unfamiliar car in between. She hesitated and said, âMaybe he wants to accompany you to school?â
Although Si Yue had been following them, the distance was far enough that they could totally ignore him, so she didnât pay him much attention.
Wenwen, on the other hand, was very sensitive. From such a long distance, he could recognize Si Yueâs car and the person himself in the driverâs seat.
Wenwen said in a proud tone, âDo I need him to accompany me?â Itâs unnecessary, a waste of time. Hmph! Donât think that doing this will impress him!
Fu Yunruo refrained from saying anything. She had made up her mind not to express her thought and let the two solve the problem between themselves.
But Wenwen turned to her and asked: âMom, why arenât you speaking?â
âMom listens to Wenwen,â Fu Yunruo replied. Seeing the boy furrowed his brows again, she patted his forehead. âStop frowning. Frowning at such a young age, itâs easy to age quickly. Youâll become an old man in no time.â
Wenwen touched his own eyebrows. Just as he relaxed, it subconsciously furrowed again. He sighed, âIâm too worried!â Nothing could make him feel at ease!
Seeing the little guyâs serious look, Fu Yunruo suppressed her laughter. âKids shouldnât worry too much. Otherwise, they wonât grow taller.â
Height was Wenwenâs personal obsession. He would even secretly measure his height every other week, but there was no sign of him growing taller, which bothered him even more.
So, when he heard his motherâs warning, he immediately put his worry aside. What if thinking too much would really hinder his growth?
Letâs pretend he was seeing nothing. As long as Si Yue didnât appear in front of them, he would treat him like an air!
The next day, Fu Yunruo woke Wenwen up early in the morning and dressed him in a cool and stylish outfit.
âMom, where are we going?â Wenwenâs little head tilted, wondering if they were going to the flower garden.
âWeâre going to the film set,â Fu Yunruo replied. âThe director said there are some scenes that need to be taken.â
Wenwen was suddenly struck by lightning. Going to the set⊠seeing Si Yue?!
Fu Yunruoâs expression grew serious. âWenwen, do you want to break the contract?â
Wenwen lowered his head and remained silent. He just didnât want to see Si YueâŠ
âWe have signed a contract. If you refuse to continue shooting before completing your scenes, it will be considered a breach of contract, and we will have to pay tenfold as compensation. Do you want to become someone who breaks their word, Wenwen?â
Wenwen recalled the high salary he received from this contract. He was so happy back then, but now felt down when calculating the compensation for breaking the contract. He couldnât afford itâŠ
Aggrieved, he had no choice but to agree. âOkayâŠâ
