Chapter 287: Enjoy The Two People’s World, I’ll Look After The Younger Sister
Tang Boqian did not interrupt Tang Zhimo, even if he was upset by the latter’s speech. Instead, he waited patiently until the boy finished speaking before posing the question in a soft voice. “Zhimo, what’s your opinion on your Mommy’s marriage?”
Zhimo had always known his own mind and it was evident that he held a strong opinion regarding this matter. Otherwise, he would not have addressed the man as his Mommy’s husband.
Tang Boqian reckoned Tang Zhimo had already accepted this fact mentally.
The little boy appeared surprised and regarded Tang Boqian strangely. He replied suddenly after a brief moment of consideration, “Uncle Tang, don’t you think it’s a miracle that Mommy got married?”
Tang Zhimo knew his Mommy’s sudden marriage was not innocent. He knew she never considered marriage before to ensure she would always be there for her two darling children.
Despite that, he wished she could find herself a husband that would love her dearly.
The little boy did not wish for his younger sister and himself to become a burden to their mommy. This was why he always worked hard, so he could take on the responsibility to look after his younger sister, for when his mommy got married and could not take after both of them for some reason. He promised to take care of his younger sister well so she could live like a princess.
Mommy had gotten married to Ye Lanchen.
They never met before so he did not know much about him. However, he already admired Ye Lanchen for the sole reason that he made mommy agree to marry him.
Many men had tried asking for Mommy’s hand using numerous methods throughout the years, but none among them succeeded.
However, Mommy became legally married to Ye Lanchen after returning to Jin City for a few days. This went to prove that no one could compare to this man’s ability.
That was an irrefutable truth.
Shocked, Tang Boqian darted his eyes toward Tang Zhimo. The corners of his lips twitched but no words came out from his mouth.
Indeed, he never entertained the possibility that Wuyou would get married. He could not believe his ears when he first learned about that news.
He only felt the burden being lifted off his chest when Wuyou told him that it was only a contract marriage that would last for a year at maximum.
However, Tang Zhimo’s unexpected reply at this moment pierced through his heart like a sharp sword.
He had been so distracted by the contract that he overlooked the root of the problem.
A child’s mind worked in a simpler and purer way thus they always seemed to grasp the essence of a situation.
Even if it was only a contract marriage, the fact that the man had gotten Chu Wuyou to agree to marry him was already an inconceivable occurrence.
“Uncle Tang, I always thought you would marry Mommy. Younger Sister and I will choose you to be our father, if it’s up to us.” Tang Zhimo regarded the man sincerely. If Uncle Tang was the one that married Mommy, then he would not have to worry about his younger sister and him not being accepted.
Tang Boqian blinked back blankly at the little boy. To be honest, he always thought he would have a chance with Wuyou.
A sigh escaped the little boy’s mouth out of the blue. “But Mommy gets to choose, not us.”
“Younger Sister and I can move in to live with them if her husband accepts us.” Tang Zhimo paused for a brief second, his eyebrows raised before continuing again, “Otherwise, I’ll take care of Younger Sister and make sure she gets to live like a princess.”
He promised to provide the best quality of life for his younger sibling.
