Chapter 572: Chapter 571: Looking for Mom

Lin Xu’s eyes were also red. She didn’t know why suddenly everything had turned out this way. She turned back to Shen Yun’an and said, "Quick, call Shen Yi and ask where he is!"

She didn’t want to rush him, but Zhouzhou looked so distressed that Lin Xu felt heartache and could only ask Shen Yi to hurry over.

Shen Yun’an stood up quickly to find his cell phone to make the call, but before he could dial, Shen Yi had already arrived.

The commute was already at its peak, and the heavy rain made the traffic even worse; Shen Yi arrived half an hour later than expected.

He psychologically detested such torrential downpours, and was restless all the way over.

When he reached the villa, he got out of the car with an umbrella, only to get drenched by the pouring rain regardless. Shen Yi was feeling somewhat irritable as he placed the umbrella at the entrance of the villa and pushed the door to enter.

But at the moment he pushed the door open, he saw the scene of Zhouzhou crying his heart out. His cries were loud, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice, while Lin Xu was comforting him, surrounded by several servants.

"What happened?" Shen Yi asked.

Upon hearing his voice, Lin Xu looked up, and the moment she saw Shen Yi, it was as if she had seen a savior. She quickly waved him over, "Come quickly!"

Without even changing his shoes, Shen Yi hurried towards Zhouzhou.

"What happened to Zhouzhou?" Shen Yi crouched down, and Zhouzhou immediately reached out his arms to be held.

Lin Xu explained from the side, "He suddenly started crying. At first, I thought he wanted to go home, but then realized he was scared by the thunder and lightning outside and said he wanted to leave."

After hearing the explanation, Shen Yi, looking at Zhouzhou still crying in his arms, tenderly picked him up and comforted him, "Zhouzhou’s not afraid, Daddy’s here now."

However, Shen Yi’s arrival was only a brief comfort for Zhouzhou; he still pointed outside, yelling to Shen Yi, "Go!"

"Go where? Home?" Shen Yi asked as he wiped away Zhouzhou’s tears.

Choking back sobs, Zhouzhou said, "Find Mommy."

When Shen Yi heard the words "Mommy," his heart felt as if it had been struck by something, painfully stiffening.

He gave Zhouzhou a faint smile, softly comforting him, "Alright, we’ll find Mommy."

Zhouzhou nodded forcefully, repeating, "Find Mommy!"

Shen Yi spoke to Lin Xu, "Grandma, I’ll take Zhouzhou back with me today."

"But it’s raining so hard outside," Lin Xu was somewhat worried at her core.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi’s expression nearly failed to hide a fleeting struggle. He took a deep breath, his voice a bit hoarse, "It’s okay, it’s just rain."

Lin Xu also felt sorry for Zhouzhou, who had been crying heartbreakingly for so long. "Alright then, be careful on the road, and let me know once you get home," she said.

"Okay," Shen Yi nodded in agreement.

By now, Zhouzhou was not crying as uncontrollably as before, but still pouting, with tears rolling down his cheeks, he said to Shen Yi, "Go!"

"Okay, Daddy will take Zhouzhou home, don’t cry anymore," Shen Yi said, holding Zhouzhou and kissing his forehead.

"Say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma, we’re going home," Shen Yi whispered.

Zhouzhou really did raise his hand to wave and earnestly said, "Goodbye, we’re going home."

Lin Xu, who had been full of worry, now that Zhouzhou had stopped crying, found the strength to be happy, reining in her inner joy as she said to Zhouzhou, "Goodbye, Zhouzhou."
