My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 335 - 139: Adoption

[...]

Yun Wanqing was baffled, her eyes wide open as she looked at Yun Wanye, then at the little guy in his hands.

The little guy clung to Yun Wanye, with emotions reflected in his brows and eyes that were hard to decipher. His pitch-black eyes were fixed on her, and his lips were tightly pressed into a thin line.

"Uh, Yun Wanye, who is he?"

Yun Wanyao held Yun Wanqing, her gaze full of interest as she examined the little guy.

She knew the little guy in front of them was the one mentioned in their little sister’s thoughts, but she didn’t know why Yun Wanye had brought him back.

"He’s our brother."

Yun Wanye replied nonchalantly.

Yun Wanyao: "..."

How come she didn’t know their parents had given them a brother?

[Oh my, second brother, your words are so misleading, aren’t you afraid our mother might overhear and mistakenly think that father had a child outside the family?]

[No wonder people say you have a loose tongue, you really say whatever comes to your mind without filters...]

Yun Wanqing wrapped her arms around Yun Wanyao’s neck, looking at Yun Wanye with disdain and couldn’t help but silently criticize him.

Yun Wanye: "..."

Would mother really think that?

He quickly glanced toward Lady Yun, only to see her face was as usual, showing no emotion, which made him uncertain. He hurriedly explained the situation aloud.

"Mother, his name is Xiao Rui, his parents passed away, he has no home to return to, and he often gets bullied."

"When I was coming back, I happened to see him being bullied by several older kids, feeling sorry for him, I brought him back, hoping mother can adopt him."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanqing’s attention once again fell on the little guy.

[Ah, no wonder my spiritual power noticed this little guy, it seems he really is connected to our family.]

[But why has second brother become so strange?]

[Not only did he randomly bring back a child, he actually wants mother to adopt him, this isn’t like him at all.]

[Hasn’t second brother always been indifferent to others’ lives and deaths? When did he become so kind-hearted?]

[Really strange...]

Yun Wanye: "..."

The little sister always said he’s not a good person, is he really that bad?

He seems to, probably hasn’t done anything evil, right?

Yun Wanye touched the tip of his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed and uncertain.

In an instant, he suppressed all his thoughts, looking at Lady Yun with a smile, and asked eagerly, "Mother, what do you think?"

Lady Yun did not answer immediately but looked at the little guy.

The little guy was all dirty, in tattered clothes, his face was unclear, but many scars could be seen, and his eyes were shining brightly, staring at her without a blink.

Such a pitiful little guy, Lady Yun’s heart involuntarily softened, recalling Yun Wanqing’s words from that day.

This little guy, although his fate is noble, it’s also fierce, and she wondered if adopting him would cause any trouble for the Yun Family.

She walked to the little guy, bending down to squat in front of him, speaking gently, "Your name is Xiao Rui, right? How old are you this year?"

The little guy pressed his lips, although it was their first meeting, he showed no fear.

He looked at Lady Yun, shook his head, and uncertainly said, "Four years old, maybe five."

Upon hearing this, Lady Yun’s eyes instantly grew moist.

Not knowing his own age, perhaps not only were his parents gone, it seemed there were no other adults around him either.

Such a small child already starting to live alone, it’s hard to imagine how tough his life has been.

Since becoming a mother, Lady Yun couldn’t bear to see such things.

Suppressing her emotions, she continued to ask, "Do you have any other relatives at home?"

The little guy shook his head.

Lady Yun sighed, reaching out to gently touch his head, the little guy instinctively wanted to avoid but eventually held back, letting Lady Yun touch him.

[To accept a great task from heaven, one must first endure hardships and trials to strengthen their resolve...]

Listening to Lady Yun’s conversation with the little guy, Yun Wanqing’s thoughts again flew astray.

[Ahem, going off-topic, what I wanted to say is that great people often have troubled childhoods.]

[In other words, only by experiencing all kinds of difficulties and enduring hardships can one be determined to undertake great accomplishments.]

[Such people are usually more likely to succeed than ordinary ones.]

[Because having been through numerous ordeals, they develop iron-like willpower, nothing can easily bring them down.]

[If they don’t succeed, what justice is there?]

Everyone: "..."

Yes, yes, yes, makes sense!!!!

The little guy’s glance slightly shifted, secretly peeking at the little baby being held in someone’s arms, a dark flicker swiftly crossing his eyes.

Suddenly, his other hand was held by someone.

He snapped back to reality, turned to look, and saw Lady Yun smiling at him, taking him by the hand toward the little baby.

"Xiao Si, look at this little brother, how about letting him be your big brother?"

Lady Yun reached out to touch Yun Wanqing’s little face, chuckling as she asked the little one’s opinion.

She knew that her abilities were limited, and when faced with someone with such a unique fate, she didn’t have the capability to avoid risks for the Yun Family, so she didn’t dare to agree right away.

Since Xiao Si knew the little one’s fate was unique, he should also know whether the misfortune in his destiny would affect the Yun Family.

She wasn’t hoping that the Yun Family could bask in the glory of the little one’s future success, only that it wouldn’t bring disaster to the Yun Family.

If the misfortune in the little one’s destiny was truly that of a lonely star bringing death, she absolutely couldn’t afford to get involved.

Ye’er is working tirelessly every day now, and the Yun Family as a whole is walking on thin ice, isn’t it all to change the fate of the family’s annihilation?

How could she dare to personally plant a seed of destruction for the Yun Family?

[Alright, if he is truly alone, mother, if you want to adopt him, then adopt him.]

[I happen to want to see if his fate will change after our family adopts him.]

[I also want to see how formidable he can become when he grows up.]

[Although his fate carries misfortune, with me around, nothing will happen.]

[A little evil star, just suppress it a bit, it certainly won’t affect our Yun Family...]

As she thought about this, Yun Wanqing suddenly realized something important, her eyes widened as she looked at Lady Yun.

[No, no, mother why are you asking me? Isn’t this a decision you make yourself?]

[Why would you come to ask me?]

[I can’t talk, even if I could, you wouldn’t understand me.]

[Alright, alright, let’s not overthink it. Just take it as a sign of respect from mother. Suddenly having an extra brother, it indeed makes sense to ask for my opinion.]

[But the question is, how do I tell mother my answer?]

[Got it, I’ll just smile. When mother sees me smile, she’ll know I’m happy. Then the question arises, why am I happy? Of course, it’s because I agree with the proposal.]

[Mm mm mm mm, let’s happily decide on this.]

Yun Wanqing hooked one arm around Yun Wanyao’s neck, the other stretched towards Lady Yun, displaying a big, bright smile, even with a bit of sound.

[I look so cute, my smile is so bright, and it even comes with a joyful sound, mother should understand, right?]

Everyone: "..."

Several were amused by her inner thoughts, trying hard to suppress the upward curve of their lips, Yun Wanyao found it particularly hard, nearly bursting out laughing.

Why are little sister’s inner thoughts always so amusing?

She couldn’t hold it much longer, suppressing it any further, her mouth would split open.

In a corner unseen by Yun Wanqing, Yun Wanyao was laughing hysterically.

Xiao Rui pursed his lips, his dark eyes glanced at Yun Wanyao, then at Yun Wanye and Lady Yun, a peculiar emotion flashed within them.

"Ahem, Xiao Si smiles so happily, he must really like his new brother."

Lady Yun coughed lightly, trying to muster an elegant smile, speaking softly.

Hearing this, Yun Wanqing furiously nodded and shook her head in her heart.

[Oh my, mother, your words are both right and wrong.]

[You did understand my meaning, which is good, please continue, mother. But the part about liking the new brother, that’s a misunderstanding, mother.]

[As for this little one, I feel some pity and interest, but not quite liking.]

[But it doesn’t matter, really, it doesn’t seem that important.]

Lady Yun: "..."

She ignored Yun Wanqing’s inner voice, bending down to look at the well-behaved little one beside her.

"Xiao Rui, are you willing to stay with us and become my son?"

"I can promise you, as long as you become my son, I will treat you as my own, and do my best to be good to you."

As for treating everyone equally, she didn’t dare to say that.

She couldn’t guarantee, in case of future events, whether she could treat Xiao Rui and her four children equally.

After hearing her words, the little one’s face became serious, appearing earnest and without any excess emotion.

The room remained quiet, everyone watched him patiently, waiting for his response.

"Okay, I am willing."

Finally, the little one nodded firmly, solemnly speaking up.

Lady Yun was overjoyed, reaching out to embrace him.

Strangely, before this, she only felt sympathy and pity for the little one, but after he agreed to become her son, she felt excitement, distress, and various complex emotions that were indescribable.

Evening ~

Yun Zheng and Yun Wanchen arrived, and Lady Yun brought out the little one to introduce him, telling the father and son about his situation.

The little one had been washed clean, his once tattered and dirty clothing replaced with new, his little face beautifully chiseled.

"Husband, I have decided to adopt Xiao Rui, and Xiao Si likes his new brother very much as well. I hope you too can later view Xiao Rui as your own child, treating him with love."

Before Yun Zheng could express his view, she continued, "I know, such a significant matter should have been discussed with you..."

"But I thought, knowing your benevolent and compassionate nature, you wouldn’t oppose, so I’ve taken the liberty to decide, you won’t blame me, right?"

Yun Zheng: "..."

With such high praise, how could he oppose?

Moreover, involving Xiao Si, opposing would make him the bad guy, wouldn’t it?

If Xiao Si ends up not liking him because of this, what could be done?
