1938: As long as I am with her...

As long as I am with her...

Maternal instincts could turn a threatening woman into one who was as gentle as water.1

She lamented God's work and the impermanence of life. She was certain that the moment these twins were born, they would be separated from her.

Still, despite that, she wished for both to grow up healthily.

Little Yichen was taken away by the Mu family upon his birth, but the sick and frail child was unintentionally left behind by them.

They did not know about his survival.

The first time Yun Shishi saw the child was when he was in an incubator.

His skin was wrinkly all over and his small face was extremely red. His eyes had yet to open, but his eyelashes were long and enchanting, just like a butterfly's fluttering wings.

"I hope you survive. I wish to see you grow taller than me. I want you to be healthy."

With this wish, she gave him the name 'Tianyou'.

She wanted the heavens to protect the child and allow him to survive the critical period.

The boy seemed to be very intelligent. It felt as if he had understood her prayers. His vital signs began to stabilize day after day, and on the eighteenth day that he was born, he finally averted the danger.

However, most of his childhood had been spent in the hospital.

She always felt that she owed him too much. Therefore, unlike other parents who imposed an excessive burden on their children, she allowed him the freedom to do whatever he wanted.

Gong Jie added to himself, Giving him the freedom to do whatever he wanted resulted in such a gifted individual.

"That fella is young yet very smart. His mouth is very sweet, and he knows how to coax people very well."

Yun Shishi was amused by his words. "That's right! I don't even know whom he learned that from. He'll definitely be a lady-killer once he's older."

"I doubt it will be just that. With the way he is now, I am sure that he will be a married woman-killer in the future. He'll devour females from as young as seven to as old as seventy!"

"Ha ha!"

She began to imagine the long row of girls chasing after her son once the boy was older. There would certainly be a lot.

She could not help but find it amusing.

Time went by fast. It had already been seven years in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps, in another blink of an eye, Youyou would be all grown up.

The woman thought of how she would certainly be jealous and unwilling to part with him when the day he brought home a wife came.

"Sis, where are we going to play today?"

"The zoo!"

"To look at animals?"

Gong Jie raised a brow and was filled with anticipation. "I've never been to a zoo from young till now."

"Why not?"

"I've been given heavy missions since I was a child. Father arranged many plans for me, so I never had the effort to play," answered her brother indifferently.

"The zoo is very fun. It's going to be a road trip. We will drive the car and tour the area."

"Okay!" he happily agreed.

As long as he was with her, he would like it no matter where they went.

When they arrived at the ticket gantry in the zoo, they were charged a fee for the car.

Yun Shishi had reserved tickets online earlier.

Now that the network was flourishing, everything had become convenient. All she had to do was scan the QR code while entering the zoo, and she could smoothly obtain the passes.

The zoo had a route especially for road trips. The difference here compared to other zoos was that they were permitted to get near the gentle animals.

In this zoo, apart from the zone with fierce animals, visitors could stop their vehicles at one side to play and interact with the animals. It was an interesting concept!

This zoo was exceptionally popular. Even though it was not weekends, it still attracted many visitors and the lines were long.

She happily chatted with her brother as they slowly drove in.
