At the end of her statement, Yu Anwan fell silent once again. It was as if she had chosen not to dwell on those chaotic years.
Wen Jin listened with an expression that appeared indifferent, although his true emotions ran deeper.
Yu Anwan spoke in a casual tone, but Wen Jin knew how tragic the situation was.
A woman without a place to hide was pregnant with triplets. It was far more than just challenging.
Yet even in these dire circumstances, Yu Anwan refused to return and compromise with him, let alone consider other options.
Thinking about this, Wen Jin sneered.
Yu Anwan didn’t know what Wen Jin was laughing at, but she continued in a firm tone, “You know the subsequent events. I went to London, and Xiaobao looked younger than her peers due to her poor health.”
The circumstances had allowed Yu Anwan to keep the truth hidden from Wen Jin until now.
Xiaobao wasn’t like Dabao. When someone merely glimpsed Dabao, they would know that he was Wen Jin’s son.
As they both listened, Wen Jin’s eyes remained fixed on Yu Anwan, but he remained silent throughout her explanation.
Yu Anwan was unsure whether this person believed her or not, yet the thought of Xiaobao’s cries amid such conditions filled her with anxiety. Regardless of whether Xiaobao was frightened, her health was too fragile to withstand any hardship.
Therefore, when Yu Anwan looked up at Wen Jin once more, she took the initiative and said, “Wen Jin, Xiaobao is your daughter. You cannot stand idly by. Only you have the power to take Xiaobao out of Jiang City.”
Yu Anwan articulated each word confidently, not adopting a servile tone.
Wen Jin finally broke his silence, his voice cold as he questioned, “Yu Anwan, you concealed this from me for so many years. If it weren’t for Xiaobao’s accident, would you ever have disclosed this to me?” Yu Anwan chose to remain silent.
Because the question was based on a harsh reality.
Her silent acknowledgment led Wen Jin to issue a short, disdainful laugh.
When he gazed at Yu Anwan again, his eyes held a trace of hidden meaning. Yu Anwan called out his name once more, “Wen Jin…”
Yet her tone conveyed a sense of negotiation, maintaining her pride while refraining from outright supplication.
Wen Jin’s response was an insinuating sneer, but he continued to listen to Yu Anwan’s plea.
Yu Anwan continued, “You have always held custody of Zhanyan, and Dabao and Xiaobao have grown up under my care. They can’t adapt to the Wen family’s environment. Their temperament is unique and can only be nurtured in the environment they’re used to. In the Wen family’s environment, they’ll only be pushed into a corner.”
She sounded increasingly anxious.
Wen Jin just looked on and listened to Yu Anwan’s words with uncertainty.
“So, I won’t fight for Zhanyan’s custody. Can you not do anything to Dabao and
Xiaobao? I won’t stop your visitation rights. You can even send Dabao and Xiaobao to the Wen family for a few months every year. But can we maintain our current state?”
Yu Anwan’s tone became more and more nervous, but she still said her thoughts in one breath.
Wen Jin looked at Yu Anwan and scoffed.
Yu Anwan didn’t say anything.
“How can my child wander outside? This is something no one can question.”
Yu Anwan listened to Wen Jin’s words with a disappointed expression, and then that disappointment slowly transformed into despair.
It seemed to be consuming Yu Anwan’s heart bit by bit. It was as if, when she had confidently returned to Jiang City, she had intended to bring Wen Zhanyan back, but now she not only failed to do so but also put Dabao and Xiaobao at risk.
She probably hadn’t experienced such significant losses and defeats.
This grievance seemed to surge into her heart in an instant. She wanted to turn around and leave, but Yu Anwan didn’t dare.
This was because Yu Anwan knew that with the intervention of the military, she could only look for Wen Jin.
She was at her wit’s end.
“As for you…” Wen Jin’s judgmental tone came quickly. “Yu Anwan, let’s get married.”
Yu Anwan looked at Wen Jin in bewilderment, never imagining that she would hear those words from Wen Jin’s mouth. It seemed surreal, almost like a fairy tale. Yet, Wen Jin’s expression was devoid of any humor, and he spoke each word.
“Zhanyan wants you, and I don’t have time or patience to deal with his unpredictable actions. Once Zhanyan stirs up trouble, no one can control him, and I don’t want to bring any problems upon myself,” Wen Jin said with a straight face, showing no emotion.
Wen Jin didn’t allow Yu Anwan to interrupt and continued, “As for Dabao and Xiaobao, as you’ve said, they’ve been with you all along. So you being there is the best option. I cannot allow them to sever ties with the Wen family again.”
Wen Jin’s eyes bore into Yu Anwan with an intense gaze, exuding a sense of coercion that weighed heavily on her.
Yu Anwan found herself no exception to this pressure.
She remained silent, and her breathing became increasingly strained.
“So, the only solution is for us to get married,” Wen Jin concluded calmly. “Once we’re married, I will naturally locate Xiaobao.”
Yet Wen Jin didn’t disclose that he had already pinpointed Xiaobao’s whereabouts. He had ascertained that Xiaobao was safe until the other party made a move. Their willingness to kidnap Xiaobao had to be due to either their knowledge of Xiaobao’s condition and threatening Wen Jin or they were targeting Yu Anwan.
After listening to Wen Jin for a while, Yu Anwan finally looked at him and asked, “Do we have to get married?”
Wen Jin sneered. “What’s the matter? Feeling aggrieved about marrying me?”
It seemed as though Wen Jin might take immediate action if Yu Anwan expressed any grievances.
In that instant, Yu Anwan’s rebellious spirit felt like it was being pushed to its limits.
“Of course, I feel wronged marrying you,” she admitted, her eyes reddening.
Wen Jin’s gaze shifted, and he instantly seized Yu Anwan’s neck with his well-defined fingers. It was as if Wen Jin was prepared to follow through with whatever he had in mind at that moment.
“Say it again,” Wen Jin warned Yu Anwan.
Yu Anwan couldn’t denv feeling fearful. After all. when this man lost control. there was virtually nothing he wouldn’t do. However, she stood firm on this matter.
“I should feel wronged if I marry you,” she affirmed, her eyes still red. “After all, if I marry you, I would be Lu Nanxin’s backup, and my pride doesn’t allow me to do that.”
She stated it bluntly, delivering a deep stab to Wen Jin. “But when it comes to feeling wronged, I’m still better off than you, President Wen. After all, I’m the only one who can make Lu Nanxin unhappy and force her to return to your side, right?”
“You…” As expected, Wen Jin’s expression changed..
