Chapter 145: Chenbao Runs Away from Home, Disappears

Jian Si clenched her hands into fists, using the action to suppress the heart-wrenching pain emanating from her heart.

Just as she was about to step out the door, Lu Youting's voice suddenly rang out from behind her, "Wait..."

Jian Si halted her steps, but still did not turn around.

Lu Youting asked, "What's really going on here? Why are you giving Chenbao to me? I promised him that I wouldn't fight with you for custody. He has always been with you. Don't you want him anymore? Isn't this too cruel for him?"

Jian Si hurriedly denied it, "I don't not want him. I... I just..." She paused, then painfully added, "Compared to me, you can protect him better. He's just moving to a different environment to live, but we are still mother and son. Our relationship will not change."

Having said that, she didn't wait for any reaction from the two of them behind her, and quickly left, afraid that staying even a moment longer would soften her resolve.
