Wen Zeru's voice came clearly through the receiver to Wen Yin and Shao Yinan's ears.
Wen Yin's gaze faltered. She seemed unable to believe it.
After all, in both lifetimes combined, her interactions with Mother Wen had been few and far between.
Father Wen had always protected her very well.
Now he was actually asking her to meet Mother Wen on his own initiative?
Wen Yin pursed her lips and finally agreed.
"Okay, I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yin spoke with a hint of apology.
"Sorry, I can't finish the meal with you."
Shao Yinan reached out and gently scraped the tip of her nose.
"A Yin, go attend to your business first. I'll come pick you up later."
There was undisguised doting and tenderness in his peach blossom eyes.
No matter how many times Wen Yin looked into them, she would still uncontrollably drown in them.
When Wen Yin returned to the Wen family mansion, only Wen Zeru was sitting in the huge living room.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Wen Yin's expression was calm.
But Wen Zeru in front of her looked extremely exhausted.
Since Wen Yin had returned to the Wen family, she had met Mother Wen less than five times in total.
That was why she was so confused. Father Wen had protected Mother Wen so well. Why would he allow her to meet Mother Wen so easily?
Wen Zeru's lips moved a few times, as if he didn't know how to start.
Finally, he sighed and explained, "Mom... she's been making a fuss, saying she wants to see you."
Wen Zeru's answer was beyond Wen Yin's expectations.
But she only paused for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."
Wen Yin followed Wen Zeru up to the third floor.
She had never been to the third floor before.
When she had first been brought back to the Wen family, Father Wen had strictly forbidden her from coming up here.
She had only occasionally seen Wen Zhi skipping up to the third floor, with a flash of disgust in her eyes when she came back down.
Wen Yin's expression was calm, and it was hard to tell her emotions from her face.
Wen Zeru couldn't help but turn his head. He spoke slowly, giving Wen Yin the final psychological preparation.
"A Yin, you should be mentally prepared."
Wen Yin blinked, looking a bit innocent.
What did he mean by that?
Rarely, she showed her innocent side in front of Wen Zeru, which relieved some of his tense emotions.
Wen Zeru couldn't help but curl his lips.
Forget it. After all, they were mother and daughter.
A Yin should know.
There was only one door on the third floor, in the left - most corner.
Wen Yin's doubts grew.
Previously, she had felt that there was something strange about the third floor. She never thought that Mother Wen had been living on the third floor all this time.
The person Wen Yin had had the most contact with in the Wen family was Father Wen.
Mother Wen was very mysterious, and the two of them hardly had any communication.
Wen Zeru stood in front of Wen Yin. His hand was on the doorknob. He turned his head and gave Wen Yin a deep look.
Finally, he turned the doorknob and opened the door.
"A Yin?"
"Is it A Yin?"
The first thing Wen Yin saw was a huge French window, and then came a strange yet familiar voice.
Then there were footsteps, mixed with Father Wen's voice.
"Yes, A Yin is here. Slow down."
Wen Yin frowned slightly. There was an indescribable strangeness in the tone of that voice, like a naive child.
She slowly lifted her feet and walked in with Wen Zeru.
Wen Yin's pupils suddenly constricted.
At that moment, she understood why there was only one room on the third floor.
All the rooms had been knocked down to form a long corridor.
This room had been carefully decorated.
It had everything, and all the entertainment facilities were complete.
Wen Yin looked at the children's toys on the floor and pursed her lips.
Her doubts deepened.
Mother Wen lived here?
But why?
Wen Zeru stepped forward and patted Wen Yin on the shoulder, speaking softly.
"A Yin, don't be afraid."
A complex emotion flashed through Wen Yin's eyes quickly.
She wasn't afraid. She just couldn't figure it out.
"Dad, A Yin is here."
Father Wen picked up the doll that Mother Wen had just thrown on the ground out of excitement and replied indifferently.
On the contrary, Mother Wen seemed very happy. She ran over and grabbed Wen Yin's hand.
Wen Yin only felt that the woman in front of her was very strange.
Clearly, just a few years ago, the Mother Wen she had seen was not like this.
Father Wen glanced at the somewhat surprised Wen Yin and explained indifferently.
"Your mother wanted to see you."
There was already a hint of pressure in this sentence, as if forcing Wen Yin to come back to her senses.
Wen Yin nodded, opened her mouth, and finally called out, "Mom."
Mother Wen was very happy after hearing this. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Wen Yin's hand.
"A Yin... A Yin called me Mom..."
She giggled, grabbed Wen Yin's hand, and turned to look at Father Wen.
Mother Wen showed off like a child. "Shanglin, she called me Mom!"
Wen Shanglin was Father Wen's name.
In front of Mother Wen, there was rarely a hint of tenderness and doting on Father Wen's face.
"Now that you've seen her, can you come over for dinner?"
Mother Wen nodded heavily and was lured over by Father Wen's words.
"The dinner tonight has your favorite Coke chicken wings..."
Mother Wen let go of Wen Yin's hand and ran happily towards Father Wen.
But after taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something.
She suddenly turned around and trotted towards Wen Yin.
"A Yin... I miss A Yin..."
"A Yin must come."
She stammered, and her words were a bit jumbled, but Wen Yin still understood what she meant.
I miss A Yin.
A Yin must come often.
Wen Shanglin gave Wen Yin a deep look and finally silently led Mother Wen away.
The two of them sat in front of a cute table. All of Wen Shanglin's patience seemed to be reserved for her.
He fed Mother Wen mouthful after mouthful of food without getting annoyed.
Wen Yin wanted to take a few more looks, but was pulled out of the room by Wen Zeru.
Mother Wen was like a huge rock weighing heavily on Wen Yin's heart.
Her heart was filled with more confusion.
Wen Yin clearly remembered that the last time she had seen Mother Wen, she had been a normal person.
"Mom had some lingering health problems when she gave birth to you."
As if seeing through Wen Yin's low mood, Wen Zeru explained.
"As a result, sometimes she is a bit delirious."
"Father has always taken good care of her. It's just that tonight..."
Wen Zeru paused, remembered the scene tonight, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Mom made a fuss to see you tonight."
"So we called you back."
Wen Yin pursed her lips.
Just now in the room, she had already guessed most of the reasons, so she wasn't surprised by Wen Zeru's explanation.
She had guessed it.
After saying goodbye to Wen Zeru, Wen Yin left the Wen family mansion.
The studio was getting busier and busier. Wen Yin had to deal with a large number of business partners every day and also draw design drafts. She wished she could split herself into two people.
"A Yin?"
At the office door, the person gently knocked on the door. The voice was soft yet powerful.
The beautiful woman stood at the door with a smile. Every move of hers exuded elegance and nobility.
