By the time Mrs. Ye returned to the room, Yan Ruoting had already pulled Su Xiaoyue aside. Now being smarter, she didn't confront Su Xiaoyue in front of Mingyu anymore, to prevent the little guy from siding with Si Xiaoyue again.
"Su Xiaoyue, I want to spend time alone with Mingyu. Please be sensible and don't follow us," Yan Ruoting whispered her request to Su Xiaoyue. She reassured Su Xiaoyue, "Don't worry, Mingyu is my biological son. I just want to bond with my son, and I won't hurt him. I have learned from last time's lesson, and I promise not to make the same mistake again, not to let my son suffer.
Su Xiaoyue looked at Mingyu and responded coolly to Yan Ruoting, "Let me ask Mingyu what he thinks."
Yan Ruoting hummed in agreement. She had already coaxed Mingyu, and he had agreed to go with her.
Su Xiaoyue walked back to Mingyu, squatted down, and lovingly touched his face. She looked at him and asked gently, "Mingyu, do you really want to go with her?"
