Chapter 573: Chapter 572: As if Having Been Wronged for a Very Long Time

After leaving the villa, the outside world was caught in a raging wind and pouring rain. Lin Xu wanted to help with holding the umbrella, but Shen Yun’an snatched it away.

Shen Yi wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but Shen Yun’an glared and said, "Don’t flatter yourself, I’m worried about Zhouzhou getting wet."

Hearing this, Shen Yi decisively chose to keep quiet and then carried Zhouzhou quickly to the car and sat down inside.

Outside, Lin Xu was still shouting, "The rain is heavy, be careful on the road, and let us know once you get home."

"Okay, you guys go inside quickly," Shen Yi said.

After coming out of the villa, the sound of the rain and thunder outside became clearer, and Zhouzhou seemed to be extremely scared, clinging tightly to Shen Yi’s neck without letting go.

Shen Yi told the driver an address, not Bihai Bay but the restaurant where Ye Wanwan was dining.

On the way, Shen Yi called Ye Wanwan, and the phone rang for a while before being answered.

"Hello," Ye Wanwan’s soft voice came from the phone.

Shen Yi glanced at Zhouzhou in his arms, who still had tears welling up in his eyes and was eagerly looking at him, and softly said, "You probably can’t go to the bar with them tonight."

Ye Wanwan on the other side of the phone first fell silent for a bit, then, with concern in her words, quickly asked, "What happened? Did something happen?"

"Yes, the thunder and lightning outside frightened Zhouzhou, he is crying and looking for you."

"I’m coming home right now!"

As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, Ye Wanwan immediately chimed in, and Shen Yi heard faint voices coming through the phone, followed by someone asking Ye Wanwan what happened.

Shen Yi continued, "Don’t worry, finish your meal first, Zhouzhou and I are already on our way to you."

"You’re already on your way?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"We’re already on the road, but there’s some traffic today, so it might take a bit longer to get there," Shen Yi added.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed outside, accompanied by an explosive sound, and Zhouzhou, frightened, pursed his lips and began to tear up again.

"There’s thunder. Zhouzhou is very scared. Is it convenient for you to talk to him?" Shen Yi, seeing Zhouzhou cry, felt a deep pang of distress.

"What’s inconvenient for me? I’ll hang up and video call you," Ye Wanwan said, and then directly hung up the phone.

Zhang Xinyue asked, "What’s the matter?"

Ye Wanwan explained, "It’s thundering and raining outside, and Zhouzhou got scared. They said he cried."

While speaking, Ye Wanwan had already found Shen Yi on WeChat and sent a video call invitation to him.

Shen Yi quickly answered on the other side. The lighting in the car was dim, so Shen Yi asked the driver to turn on the lights, and Ye Wanwan could suddenly see Zhouzhou in the video.

But the sight of Zhouzhou pouting with red eyes and shedding tears was just too pitiable, "Zhouzhou, don’t be scared."

However, seeing Ye Wanwan in the video, Zhouzhou cried even more miserably, as if he had been holding onto his grievances for a long, long time, and had finally found the person who could comfort him, finally allowing himself to cry out loud.

Ye Wanwan felt anxious, truly wishing she could immediately be by Zhouzhou’s side, to hold him in her arms and comfort him, but that was obviously impossible.

"Zhouzhou, stop crying. You’ll see Mommy very soon," Ye Wanwan kept coaxing.

Zhouzhou, while crying, said in a pitiful tone, "Want Mommy."

Ye Wanwan was taken aback first, then unexpectedly, her eyes welled up with tears. This was the second time she had heard Zhouzhou, now so grown up, calling her "Mommy!"
