The car arrived at the maternity and baby store an hour later. Zhou Yi checked the time and realized that she had only a dozen minutes left before her work start time, which was just right.

"Thank you, Assistant Song."

"It should."

Soon, Zhou Yi got out of the car and went into the store.

Song Xingwen watched Zhou Yi enter the maternity and baby store, get into the car, and in just a few moments, the car drove into traffic.

"Zhou Yi, what brings you here in a Maybach?"

Zhou Yi usually arrives early, half an hour before the store opens, but today it's considered late; Xiao Li and another employee are already in the store.

When Xiao Li saw the car disappear into the traffic, he quickly grabbed a rag and came over to ask Zhou Yi.

Xiao Li is very interested in luxury cars; she can tell what kind of car it is just by looking at it.

Zhou Yi put the bag in the closet and said, "Last night..."

She told Xiao Li what had happened last night. After listening, Xiao Li was surprised: "Sister Zhou Yi, you went to Xiao Yuyu's house?"

Xiao Li's voice was loud and full of shock, which startled Zhou Yi.

Before Zhou Yi could answer, she asked, "Sister Zhou Yi, what's Xiao Yuyu's family like? Are they particularly wealthy? Is their home decorated very nicely and grandly?"

Xiao Li is younger than her, but she is lively and many customers like her. Naturally, she is curious about these things at her age.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'll go next door to buy some. You can continue cleaning."

As they were talking, Zhou Yi left the shop to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop next door.

As a new day began, Zhou Yi went about her work as usual, doing what she was supposed to do. Before she knew it, it was evening. Zhou Yi finished get off work, tidied up the store with two employees, and left.

She usually takes the bus or subway, but by the time she gets off work, the buses have stopped running, so she takes the subway home.

It was the last train.

The subway was fast, and she arrived at her apartment complex in less than half an hour. Zhou Yi took out her access card and was about to enter the complex when her phone rang.

Zhou Yi paused, then took out her phone.

The screen displayed an unfamiliar number, from Yunzhou City. Zhou Yi, puzzled, answered, "Hello, who is this?"

She thought the call was probably a wrong number.

"Miss Zhou, I am Song Xingwen."

A familiar voice came through, and Zhou Yi was startled, remembering the phone call that had suddenly come in last night—it was this number.

She didn't notice at the time and forgot about it later.

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Yi was briefly stunned before reacting quickly: "Assistant Song, is Yu Yu crying again?"

In an instant, Zhou Yi thought of that little person, with that adorable face, and her heart ached.

Yes, we are now opposite you, behind you.

Opposite her?

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and saw Song Xingwen standing opposite her.

Song Xingwen nodded to her and said, "I'd like to trouble Miss Zhou to come over for a moment."

Zhou Yi didn't see the child, but she did see the car parked in front of Song Xingwen.

Aunt Dong must have been holding the child here, which is why she didn't hear the crying.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

When Zhou Yi thought about how the child was so young and had lost his mother, and how his father was so busy and all alone, her heart softened terribly. She immediately put away her phone, looked at the cars on both sides of the road, and ran across the street.

After Song Xingwen hung up the phone, he opened the back door of the car, and Aunt Dong got out of the car carrying the crying Wenren Yu.

"Young Master, Aunt Zhou Yi is here, she'll be here soon. Don't cry, we won't cry."

Aunt Dong held Wenren Yu and tried to comfort her, her face showing barely concealed anxiety.

Wenren Yu had been crying for a long time, from home to here, and nothing could soothe her.

They can coax you during the day, but they really can't at night.

Zhou Yi ran over and immediately threw her bag on the ground, but Song Xingwen said, "Give it to me, Miss Zhou."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Zhou Yi quickly handed the bag to Song Xingwen and then went to hug Wenren Yu.

The little guy was very clever. When he heard Zhou Yi's voice, he cried even harder, his voice several times louder, as if he was complaining to Zhou Yi about his grievances.

Hearing the little one's heart-wrenching cries, Zhou Yi felt as if her heart was breaking.

She quickly hugged the little one and patted her gently, coaxing, "Yuyu, don't cry. Aunt Zhou Yi is here. She's right here with Yuyu. Aunt Zhou Yi won't leave. She'll stay with our Yuyu. Don't cry."

Zhou Yi spoke softly, then kissed the little guy, carrying him as they walked slowly.

"Aunt Zhou Yi has been very busy all day and just got off work. Aunt Zhou Yi didn't mean to not come to see Yu Yu. Yu Yu, don't be angry, okay?"

Regardless of whether the child could understand or not, Zhou Yi explained earnestly. Whether it was because of her explanation or because the child was finally in her arms, the little one's crying gradually subsided, turning into sobs, and eventually, the child fell asleep.

Seeing the little guy finally close his mouth, his eyelashes wet, and his face covered in tears, Zhou Yi felt incredibly heartbroken.

He was so young, and he could sense that his parents weren't around; he felt very uneasy.

Perhaps because he had a similar experience and lacked parental love, Zhou Yi could clearly sense the child's emotions as he looked at him.

She felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

However, despite feeling distressed and heartbroken, Zhou Yi knew that she was an outsider and could not interfere in the child's life.

Seeing the tear stains on the little one's face, Zhou Yi turned around, holding the child, and walked towards the car.

Once the child stopped crying, it was natural to hand the child over to Aunt Dong so they could take the child back.

Aunt Dong was standing outside the car. When she saw her carrying the child over, she immediately went over to look at the person in her arms.

The little guy fell asleep peacefully after crying, and if it weren't for the tears still on his face, no one would have guessed that he had been crying for a long time.

Looking at that little face, Aunt Dong said helplessly, "Young Master really only wants Miss Zhou, there's nothing we can do."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I guess I'm destined to meet this child."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi handed the child to Aunt Dong. However, as soon as she moved, the little guy frowned, and then his face scrunched up, looking like he was about to cry.

Aunt Dong quickly withdrew her hand and said, "Miss Zhou, you should hold him. The young master only wants you."

Seeing the little guy like this, Zhou Yi quickly withdrew her hand and patted him gently. Without even listening to Aunt Dong's words, she coaxed him softly, "It's okay, it's okay. Aunt Zhou Yi was just talking to Aunt Dong and didn't want to leave."

"Aunt Zhou Yi won't leave, Aunt Zhou Yi will stay by Yu Yu's side. Yu Yu, sleep well, sleep well..."

Zhou Yi gently coaxed the little guy, and he stopped crying and soon became a well-behaved little guy again, making people doubt that he had actually slept.

Song Xingwen walked over and said, "Miss Zhou, please get in the car."
