Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“There’s nothing to fear…” She held both the boys tightly in her arms. “Mommy will definitely protect you, it doesn’t matter whether mommy is by your side; mommy will always use other methods, other identities, to protect you, to look after you. I’ll never let anything happen to you.”
By now, she could vaguely hear the voices of Ye Shuyun and the two housekeepers calling for the three children.
Yan Huan immediately released her grip on the two kids and secretly wiped a tear. She clasped her hands around Lu Qi’s little face. Xiao Qi, you are the oldest, please take good care of your younger siblings, never ever let them onto the road, got it?
Lu Qi nodded as if he understood what she had said, his grip on his younger brother’s tiny hand tight as ever.
The footsteps in the distance gradually neared. Enduring the pain emanating from her leg, Yan Huan stood up and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction. As she did, she accidentally glimpsed at the red sports car. The windows were wound down and seated in the car was none other than Lu Qin as well as Sun Yuhan.
All of a sudden, she felt an immense urge to die together with them, and bit hard onto her lips.
As long as they were dead, that’s right, as long as they ceased to exist, her Xunxun, her Xiao Guang, and Xiao Qi would never be in danger again. No one in this world would lay their hands on them again.
As long as they were gone, as long as they could leave her Xiao Qi, Xiao Guang, and Xunxun alone forever, she was willing to take the risk, to do whatever she had to. Since she had already been like this for a while, she had long since become a monster.
She was willing to put her life on the line, to help her children get rid of the people who would eventually become their enemy in the future. She would make sure that all these threats were utterly terminated before they arise.
When Ye Shuyun rushed over, Lu Qi and Lu Guang were crying, screaming for their mother. Especially Lu Guang, who had dirt all over himself. His shirt, which was originally sparkly clean, had now become a dirtball having gone through all the tumbling. Coupled with a fair amount of tears and snot, he had now transformed into a dirty little kitten.
The children raised in the Lu family had always been mindful of their personal hygiene. There did not exist one instance where they had made themselves unkempt. Other than the reason being that the Lu family treated them as precious gems, the triplets themselves were not naughty at all.
Yet now, Xiao Guang had smudged himself entirely, and it even seemed like there were scratches on his little face.
Because of her petite figure and stubby legs, Xunxun was a lot slower than her brothers. Seeing her brothers burst into tears, she too wailed along with them.
“You got me frightened to death…” Someone sprinted over to them with a hand continuously patting her chest.
“Your kid almost got knocked over by that car. Who would drive on a pedestrian lane? To top it off, at such an insane speed. If it weren’t for that person who rushed over to save this kid, he might have been long gone.”
To be met with such force, not to mention a child, even a fully grown adult would be guaranteed death on the spot.
It was impossible for such fragile flesh and bones to win against sturdy steel and metal.
Ye Shuyun was panic-stricken, her complexion deathly pale. She quickly picked Lu Guang, who was rubbing his eyes from time to time, up. Not only was his little face injured, but his arm also shared the same fate.
She examined Lu Guang’s arm and ordered the two housekeepers to hold the two other children. She was afraid that Lu Guang might be suffering from major injuries.
Only when she turned back to take a look at the car did she see the two inside. Rage boiled in her veins as she clenched her teeth so hard it felt like they might snap.
Not long later, Lu Jin rushed back home as soon as he got the news. When he arrived, Lu Yi was just dashing in. Ye Shuyun must have informed him and had him return.
Lu Yi hoisted Xiao Guang into his arms. He seemed lethargic, his little face listless. He did not speak, smile or even move about like usual. Only his eyes had an endless amount of tears welling up in them, red and watery like a rabbit’s.
The other two were also in a daze. Though after a round of bawling, fatigue kicked in. They fell asleep right after having some milk. The only one left was Lu Guang, still wide awake.
“Darling Xiao Guang, be good, we are not sleeping, okay?”
Lu Yi cajoled his son, making sure he stayed awake. He still needed to take him for a full-body examination at He Yibin’s. He might look fine now but that did not rule out the possibility of any unseen injuries.
“Okay.” Lo Guang nodded obediently. Daddy said no sleeping, so he would not sleep.
Lu Yi had already contacted He Yibin. Son in his arms, he swiftly walked out.
Lu Jin and Ye Shuyun stayed at home. They still had to take care of the two other kids, who might still be terrified and cry their lungs out after they had awakened. Also, regarding the perpetrator, she was still here.
“Auntie…” When Sun Yuhan blurted the word, it did not sound sincere at all. It was perfunctory.
Ye Shuyun had always turned a blind eye to her actions out of respect for the Ye family. It had nothing to do with her anyway. This time around, however, was it not considered outrageous? They had almost hit Xiao Guang! Driving on the pedestrian lane? Good. Very good. How very good.
She made her way over and, without a twinge of hesitation, slapped Sun Yuhan in the face. Fine, if men can’t hit women, then she will.
“Ye Shuyun, how dare you hit me?” Sun Yuhan could barely remember the last time she was beaten. She had always been living her best life in the Ye family. She was always placed on a high pedestal with both hands by everyone there, she was the pride of the Ye family. As a result, she evolved into a spoiled maverick.
A crisp sound echoed through the room as Ye Shuyun’s hand came into contact with her face a second time. Everyone had a bottom line and for Ye Shuyun, her three grandchildren comprised her bottom line. So what if Sun Yuhan was the Ye family’s recently tracked-down granddaughter, whom they had devoted so much effort to find and reunite with? If the Lu family had ever owed the Ye family, they would have already cleared it up. They returned them to their airport which in turn returned to Ye Chuji and Ye Xinyu. The Lu family did not owe Sun Yuhan anything.
“Enough.” Lu Jin trudged over and patted Ye Shuyun on her shoulder, “Tone down a tad, Xunxun and Xiao Qi have just fallen asleep, you don’t want to wake them.”
Ye Shuyun was originally raging as her chest heaved up and down with her harsh breathing. Finally, she began to slowly calm herself down.
For the sake of her grandchildren, she must suppress her anger no matter what.
Meanwhile, at the Lu family’s lingering garden, Old Master Lu glanced up lightly at Lu Qin.
“What, did you expect me to share the Lu family’s property with you after running over Xiao Guang?”
Old Master Lu’s tone seemed to be exceptionally calm. Despite that, the guards who were standing aside trembled as they heard his statement. Boss’ tone doesn’t sound right. This is the classic calm before the storm.
Lu Qin did not explain himself. This is because he was well aware that even if he tried to justify his actions, Old Master Lu would never believe him. In fact, he had never believed anyone’s words. Moreover, Lu Qin figured that Old Master Lu had always known his ambitions.
“Get lost!” Old Master Lu pointed a finger at the door, “Do not let me see you ever again, Lu Qin. Or else, mark my words, I will kill you.”
