264 He Did Not Need a Father

It's him?

Why is he here?

He thought that his mommy came alone. Why did she bring this man along?!

Youyou's face tensed up. His thin lips formed a straight line from evident unhappiness.

Although he had initially seen him in an article from a finance magazine, this was his first time being up-close to this man, his biological father.

Back then, he thought that the photograph had been processed, or how could there be such a perfect-looking man?

His father's handsome features appeared extraordinarily dignified and calm. Especially with that solemn face of his, one would intuitively be terrified of him just by looking at it through a mere photograph.

The last time he had met him was at the gala, and he clearly saw for himself that the man genuinely had handsome features and a tall stature. He believed there and then that it was possible for such a flawless man to exist in reality.

Finally, in this moment, the father and son got to see each other in person. He scrutinized the little boy, and the lad similarly judged him with disbelief growing in his eyes.

He was outstanding… and domineering to boot!

He should be the same as him – a man with a propensity to be dominant. He had an extremely powerful presence; wherever he went, his aura influenced every corner.

This was his biological father.

For as long as he could remember, when he was much younger, he did not have a father. As he observed other children with a father, he once held envy and perplexity.

Why was everyone else a happy family of three or more, holding their mommy's hand with the left hand and their daddy's with the right? Why was his right hand empty instead?

He often witnessed other children riding on their fathers' shoulders. On each occasion that he saw this, he felt nothing but jealousy!

A father was such a great figure!

It felt that, with a father's presence in his life, he would be unafraid of anything in this world.

If their household had an indomitable man, let alone not getting bullied, mommy and he would surely not be looked down by others as well, right?!

However, growing up without one, he gradually came to resent his father who had been absent all these while.

Why did daddy not want him and mommy? He had asked his mother this several times, but she had always glossed over the question and had never given him a proper answer.

Eventually, having a father had become superfluous to him.

Since there was no man at home, he would act the part, instead.

He would risk everything to protect his mommy via any means.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Li Hanlin, Yun Tianyou's maturity was unrivaled by any normal child, but he was unaware that the latter was simply carefully hiding away his weak self.

In front of Yun Shishi, he was sensible, thoughtful, and very obedient.

He did not need a father anymore!

He did not want to share his mommy's love with others!

At the thought of this, his little hands clung on even tighter to his mommy's shoulders!

This man was taking up more and more of his mommy's life; he could not stay idle.

"Mommy, why didn't you come home for two days?! Youyou's scared of being alone at home…"

Yun Tianyou lay his small face on her shoulder. His tiny lips opened and closed, letting out a youthful voice that was crying and trembling incessantly. He sniffled with his hoarse but tiny voice; anyone who heard this would surely have a heartache.
