My Son is a Reborn Villain

Chapter 128

After realizing what he’d just called Si Yue, Wenwen’s face instantly turned as red as a monkey’s bottom. He hesitated for a moment, then defiantly said, “So what? He’s my dad!” Though surprised at his own outburst, Wenwen felt it was easier to call ‘Dad’ with each repeat.

“Dad!” He called out with a crisp voice.

“Mm,” Si Yue smiled, gently caressing his son’s face, “Good boy.” After so long, he was thrilled to finally hear Wenwen call him dad, and at the same time, he also felt the weight of responsibility that came with the title.

Si Tang stared blankly at Wenwen, then at Si Yue, envy beyond words. Fifth Uncle had a real son now, would he still consider adopting him?

Si Yue continued stroking Wenwen’s soft hair, only retracting his hand when the boy was on the verge of exploding again. His eyes then turned to the other two children. He didn’t say anything to them and simply instructed the bodyguards to take them to his parents. After they left, Si Yue explained to Fu Yunruo and Wenwen that he had no plans to adopt any other children. The rumors might have stemmed from a casual joke his mother made, which was taken seriously by some relatives.

Si Yue also shared Si Tang’s background, clarifying that the child was well cared for by the clan with an uncle who acted as his guardian. Si Tang wasn’t a threat to his uncle’s immediate family; in fact, they got several benefits from the clan for taking care of the boy, so he was treated well.

Of course Si Yue, who had a child on his own, had no intention of adopting anyone else. And even if that were not the case, he wouldn’t consider the matter of adopting an heir for another ten years or so. Furthermore, he didn’t believe that he had enough love to spare for another child. Just one Wenwen had given him enough headache, and he couldn’t imagine having another one…

Upon learning that Si Tang was an orphan, Wenwen felt a sense of empathy. Having been parentless in his past life, he understood the feeling of being an orphan. Despite this, he wasn’t willing to share his own parents with others but committed to treating Si Tang more kindly.

Similarly, Fu Yunruo also pitied the boy who had lost both parents at such a young age. She was relieved to know he was well provided for and had an uncle who cared about him. In any case, it was not Si Yue’s responsibility to take care of Si Tang, so she didn’t voice any further opinions.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared, Wenwen calmed down. Si Yue then went off to address the rumor and gave a few relatives some strong words. He wasn’t one to blame children for their ignorance, but he needed to ensure the adults understood the importance of not spreading such talk around children.

The next day, Si Tang and Si Zhongsheng, having been reprimanded by the adults in their family, appeared much more reserved around Wenwen and were no longer as lively. Noticing this, Wenwen took the initiative to befriend them again. Soon, the kids made up and merrily played together like yesterday.

Si Tang had learned that his aunt’s previous words were false. After receiving an apology from her, he felt downhearted a lot but still forgave her. He couldn’t bring himself to dislike Wenwen, whom he found very lovable, and felt a protective urge towards this soft and chubby little brother. Even if he didn’t get adopted, Si Tang felt satisfied as long as he could stay by this little brother’s side.

After spending a month on the island, Fu Yunruo’s family of three finally embarked on a journey back home amidst Si Zheng and Xie Zhiyun’s reluctant farewells. Back in Beijing, Fu Yunruo busied herself with distributing souvenirs to friends and relatives, reconnecting old contacts, and finally reviving her stagnant career. She shared some scenic photos from the month-long trip on the forum to update her fans about her return while simultaneously announcing a livestream schedule.
