One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife

look was a pretense to comfort his worried heart or the injuries were truly superficial.

As he was not the one in pain, he could not tell what his brother was feeling; still, the latter’s torn and tattered clothing was unbearable to see.

Somehow, he felt apologetic and guilty inside!

After all, between his older brother and his mother, he had chosen the latter!

His face held mixed emotions at the thought of this.

His brother saw the self-censure on his face and asked worriedly, “What is it?”

“It’s nothing!”

“What is it exactly?” He suppressed his volume and asked, “Where’s mommy?”

“We suggested to Mu Lianjue to free one of you first, but he refused, so we settled for exchanging hostages, instead.
Mommy is safe now!”

Little Yichen exhaled heavily in relief upon hearing that.

“That’s good!”

Youyou was surprised.
“Why don’t you blame me?”

“Why should I blame you?” The older one looked quizzically at him.

He hesitated and then explained apologetically, “I could’ve exchanged for your safety first, but I had chosen to be exchanged with mommy, instead; I want to protect her above all—”

“What you did was right!” He cut him off brashly.

His younger sibling was rather startled by his resolute tone.

“Mommy’s injuries are more serious than mine, so your choice was correct.
I would’ve done the same too if I were in your shoes!”

Right now, both brothers had a tacit understanding.

The younger one relaxed for a moment and then smiled reassuringly.

How could he forget that his older brother was always responsible and dependable!

In his heart, he probably would have the same idea to put mommy as the top priority!

He smiled gently.
“Brother, I promised daddy and mommy that I will bring you home safely so trust me!”
