Her son not only needed a mother, but also a father, peers of the same age, and a normal group life.

Only after they moved to Jiang City did her son start living a normal life that every child should have.

Seeing her son’s affection for Lingyue, Ye Xingbei, in her love for her son, also grew fond of Lingyue.

Seeing a few scratch marks on Lingyue’s face, she felt a sudden surge of heartache.

She gently touched Lingyue’s head and asked sympathetically, “Does it hurt? When we get home, I’ll put medicine on it.”

After that, remembering something, she glanced around, “By the way, where are your parents?”

Her son had inadvertently hurt this child, she had to inform his parents, expressing gratitude and apologies.

Before Lingyue could respond, her son rushed to answer, “Mom, Brother Xiaoyue’s dad is often not home due to work, Brother Xiaoyue has a stepmom, and the stepmom doesn’t pick him up, Brother Xiaoyue goes home by himself.”

Ye Xingbei frowned.

He goes home alone at such a young age?

With child traffickers so rampant, what would happen if such a beautiful child were kidnapped?

Ye Xingbei looked at Lingyue with a furrowed brow.

She always knew that her son was a beautifully groomed child, fair and lovely.

Standing by her son, ordinary children would pale in comparison, overshadowed by her son’s brilliance.

But this child called Lingyue wasn’t overshadowed.

Besides her son, this was the most beautiful child she had ever seen.

With lovely features, snow-white skin, pitch-black eyes, a straight nose, maple-red lips, and long, curly eyelashes, his features were even more delicate and beautiful than a girl’s.

The only flaw was that the child seemed too skinny.

The snow-white skin was not the healthy, rosy white of her son’s, but rather a slightly sickly pallor.

Though he wore an oversized school uniform that appeared clean, his otherwise thin, frail frame appeared even more scrawny and skeletal shrouded in the baggy uniform.

The more Ye Xingbei looked at him, the more pity she felt for the child.

It’s often said, an orphan is like a rootless weed.

Isn’t this child just like a malnourished little weed?

She gently carressed Lingyue’s head and said, “What’s your mother’s phone number? I’ll call her and let her know that you’ll stay at my house tonight, and tomorrow I’ll send you and Xiao Shu to school together.”

The child’s face was injured, she didn’t know if his stepmother would attend to him when he got home.

This child was hurt because of her son, so she had to take care of him for a few days, until his face healed and ensured it won’t leave any scars, before returning him home.

Of course, this would be subject to his stepmother’s consent.

Even if she was just a stepmother, Ye Xingbei had to get her approval before bringing the child home.

“No need, Auntie,” Lingyue pursed his lips, “I can go home by myself.”

“Come on, come on!” Xiao Shu grabbed Lingyue’s hand and shook it enthusiastically, “Brother Xiaoyue, my house is so big and beautiful! You should see it, come on!”

Xiao Shu was looking up at Lingyue, his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had never had any friends over to his house before!

His house was so big and beautiful.

The meals at his house are exceptionally delicious.

And his home had lots of delicious fruits and snacks.

The books say that good friends should share everything.

He wanted to share everything with Brother Xiaoyue!

“Yeah, you should go,” Ye Xingbei turned to Lin Yajing, “Teacher Lin, do you have Lingyue’s mother’s phone number?”
