Chu Liyuan came over and wrapped his arms around Jian Jianâs waist. âJian Jian, letâs go! Ying can handle things here!â
âYing?â Jian Dan looked toward the man behind her. âUncle, is he someone you arranged?â
âOtherwise?â
âUncle, why didnât you tell me?â
âBefore I left on my business trip, I was worried about you, so I had Ying secretly protect you. If you had known, it wouldnât have been secret protection anymore.â
âUncle, are you doubting my abilities? Do you think I canât protect myself?â Jian Dan pouted mightily.
âWhat happened today then?â
âToday was an accident! And it was all because of Uncle!â
âHow did this become my fault!â Chu Liyuan said with a smile.
âHow can it not be Uncleâs fault? If Uncle hadnât ignored my video call last night, why would I have been so worried that I couldnât sleep all night? Itâs because I didnât sleep last night that I was out of spirits today and got caught by them! Right, Uncle, why didnât you answer my video call last night?â
âThatâs a long story! Iâll tell you when we get back.
Itâs a good thing nothing happened today, so it was necessary for me to have Ying protect you, right? Of course, itâs not that I doubt your capabilities. Sometimes accidents happen, and Yingâs presence is to prevent such accidents,â Chu Liyuan explained confidently.
âReally!â
âOf course, you know what you mean to me, I wonât allow any accidents to happen to you!â
Jian Dan, who was still a little upset, felt her mood lift after hearing Uncleâs words.
âLetâs go back,â Chu Liyuan said as he took Jian Danâs hand.
âUncle, Iâm tired!â Jian Dan had not slept well the previous night and had been through a lot that day.
Without a word, Chu Liyuan picked Jian Dan up in his arms and left the placeâ¦
Huo Siyu almost thought she was hallucinating at the sight; Chu Liyuan, known to outsiders as the Demon King, was so gentle in front of Jian Dan, showing not the slightest hint of temper.
And the affection in his eyes was impossible to hide.
At this moment, Huo Siyu could finally understand why Chu Liyuan had acted the way he did when he thought she and Jian Dan were involved.
The wedding rumors had finally been confirmed at this moment.
âSiyu, arenât you leaving?â Seeing Huo Siyu still in a daze, Jian Dan spoke out.
Huo Siyu then came to her senses and quickly followed!
After the others had left, only Ying, Tan Anqi, and her two companions remainedâ¦
Although it was unclear how Ying dealt with the three of them, from that day on, Tan Anqi never appeared in public again.
And afterwards, the Tan Family chose to suppress the incidentâ¦
By the time they returned to Li Garden, Jian Dan had already fallen asleep on Chu Liyuanâs chest, so he didnât get out of the car so as not to wake her.
Chu Liyuan held Jian Dan tightly in his arms, and all the longing of the past days flooded his heart.
Looking at Jian Jianâs sleeping face, he gently kissed her forehead.
Jian Dan felt the warmth and slowly opened her eyes, meeting Chu Liyuanâs passionate gaze.
âUncle~â Jian Danâs soft voice entered Chu Liyuanâs ears.
He hadnât seen the little one for so long. Although they video-called every day, the longing had not lessened one bit; on the contrary, it grew more intense upon seeing Jian Dan!
Chu Liyuanâs Adamâs apple bobbed as he carried Jian Dan out of the car and straight into the roomâ¦
