She could not see Yun Tianyou's face as she was carrying him in her arms, but the little lad's aggrieved sobbing was enough to break her heart.

"I'm so sorry; I'm very sorry! It's mommy's fault for leaving Youyou alone at home! I'm wrong this time; Youyou can punish mommy…"

Mu Yazhe furrowed his brows as he stood beside the bed.

This little rascal might be young, yet he was quite the schemer; he knew how to milk his mother's guilt for all it was worth. Piteous cries incessantly went past his lips, but the eyes he used to gaze at his father were hard and cold. He could not help but marvel at his son's excellent acting.

Yun Tianyou provocatively raised a brow at him. Toward Yun Shishi, though, the child's tone was mushy. "Stupid mommy! How will Youyou bear to punish mommy? Mommy was probably busy, so mommy couldn't go home for two days. Youyou doesn't blame mommy. Still, mommy can't leave Youyou alone again next time; Youyou is really scared…"

The slight smirk on his lips seemed to be a way of showing off his victory to the man. He continued in his sweet tone, "If there's really a need for punishment, then mommy must come home every night and send Youyou to bed by telling stories!"

"Alright!"

"Pinky promise!" He reached out his little finger for the pinky swear.

She gently wiped away the heart-wrenching tears in her eyes and hooked her pinky with his. "Pinky promise!"

The boy's eyes crinkled with happiness, and he lay his forehead on hers. With lips pouting petulantly, he said, "Mommy, Youyou forgives you!"

"Youyou is such a good boy!"

Yun Tianyou turned to Mu Yazhe out of the blue and, pretending to be surprised, asked, "Er? Mommy, who is this uncle?"

She had a look of awkwardness.

She had no clue that Youyou already knew of the man's identity in reality, so when the little lad asked about him, she was at a loss on how to reply.

How should she introduce the father to the son? Should she say 'Youyou, this is your daddy'? Surely, the child would freak out.

For six years, she had not once divulged any information pertaining to his biological father to him. If she were to bring up this subject suddenly and tell him that he had a father all along, her child would naturally have issues accepting this fact.

Once she realized this, her face sank. She subconsciously sneaked a peek at the man standing beside the bed and saw that the latter was also looking at her, seemingly waiting for how she would introduce him.

Taking in a deep breath, she miserably bit her lower lip as she deliberated. She was really at a loss on how to introduce the man to their son!

Her normal life consisted only of work and home, so she did not have many friends!

Youyou had already met all her friends and colleagues.

The boy was observant despite his young age.

As she ruminated, Li Hanlin gave a slight cough and signaled Youyou with his eyes. Mu Yazhe also withdrew the intense expression on his face and regarded her with a calm and gentle look, instead.

She abruptly responded and explained with a smile, "Youyou, he is a professor from mommy's alma mater! His last name is Mu. He used to take very good care of mommy!"

She hardly told lies, so she felt guilty right after she had said this.

She stole a look at the man after her introduction. He was still wearing a gentle smile on his lips. Although he did not deny her words, he did not display any other emotions as well. Occasionally, he would throw her a mysterious sidelong glance.

Li Hanlin tried hard to suppress his laughter at her introduction. Meanwhile, Yun Tianyou's face did not express any surprise, yet his lips twitched ever so slightly that it was barely perceptible.
