Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Protect Your Mother

“No…”Xu Yanzhi immediately moved closer to the man and blinked his big eyes. “Daddy, I haven’t had enough fun yet. Can we not go home so soon?”

Just because of this “Daddy”, Li Jingran compromised without any preparation.

There was a haunted house next to them. At this time, a group of people was rushing out of the exit. They were so scared that they screamed and ran out.

The Emotions in Li Jingran’s eyes became more meaningful.

He suddenly thought of Xu Wanwan’s cowardice. If she went into the haunted house, she would definitely be afraid.

At the thought of this, the man chuckled. Then he pointed in the direction of the haunted house and asked Xu Yanzhi, “Do you want to go there to play?”

Xu Yanzhi only took one look before he quickly averted his gaze. “Not at all.”

“Why?”

“Mommy said there’s something very scary in there. Children will be scared silly if they go in.”

Li Jingran laughed lightly. “That’s because your mother is afraid.”

“But I’m also a little afraid of the dark.”

“You’re a man, why are you afraid of this?”Li Jingran enticed the little guy step by step.

“I… I’m still a little baby now. I Won’t be afraid of these things when I Grow Up!”Xu Yanzhi was not convinced and straightened his little body.

“Since you’re not afraid, then we’ll go play with that later.”

Xu Yanzhi pouted and looked at the big black spider hanging above the haunted house from afar. He could not help but shrink his neck.

“What, you don’t dare to go?”

“That’s not true!”Xu Yanzhi was unwilling to admit it. “I’m afraid that Mommy is afraid.”

“Can’t we two men protect her well?”

Xu Yanzhi tilted his head and thought for a long time. He did not want to lose face in front of Li Jingran. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll Go! I’m a man. I Won’t be afraid.”

Li Jingran curled his lips in satisfaction.

When Xu Wanwan came out of the bathroom, Little Tuan Zi hugged her thigh and said with a wronged expression, “Mommy, I really want to go to the haunted house to play. Can you accompany me?”

Xu Wanwan’s heart sank, and she immediately shook her head and refused. “No, you’re still young. It’s not suitable for you in there.”

“No, no, I just want to play in there!”Xu Yanzhi hugged Xu Wanwan’s arm and acted coquettishly. “I’m a man now. I can play in there against me!”

“Besides, Daddy will protect us. Why Can’t We Go?”

Xu Wanwan looked at Li Jingran helplessly. “Try to persuade Yanzhi. He’s too old for that.”

“I think it’s quite suitable.”Li Jingran held Xu Yanzhi’s hand and said in a low voice, “Since you want to go, you have to protect Mommy Well.”

Xu Yanzhi nodded hard. “Of course I’ll protect Mommy Well!”

The two of them echoed each other. Xu Wanwan was kept in the dark and couldn’t stand the little guy’s coaxing. In the end, she followed them into the haunted house.

The pitch-black underground cave was surrounded by a long and winding tunnel. Eerie and terrifying music filled the surroundings. Coupled with the strange atmosphere lights, it was really creepy.

Li Jingran walked in front with Little Tuan while Xu Wanwan followed behind the two of them alone. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Xu Yanzhi was also very scared. He only took a few steps before he grabbed Li Jingran’s hand tightly and buried his head quietly behind the man.

At a bend in front of them, a black monster suddenly popped out. A hoarse roar scared Xu Yanzhi so much that he started to scream.

Xu Wanwan also screamed. Her heart seemed to have been hit hard. Now, she did not dare to leave alone. At this moment, she did not care too much. She walked to Li Jingran’s side and gently grabbed his arm.

“Wait for me.”

Under the Dark Light, the corners of Li Jingran’s lips curled up. His palm was downward as he grabbed her hand.

The palms of the two of them were fused together. Xu Wanwan was still unconscious. At this moment, she was immersed in an atmosphere of fear. Every time she was frightened, she would tightly hold onto Li Jingran’s hand.

Finally, when she was about to leave, Xu Wanwan’s back was suddenly grabbed. A hand with sharp nails and pale skin tightly held onto her shoulder.

“Ah!”

The fear that she had been holding back for a long time reached its peak at this moment. Xu Wanwan instinctively turned around and hugged the man behind her, her shoulder trembling.

Li Jingran’s body stiffened slightly as he felt the warmth of the woman in his arms. His Adam’s apple slid down for a moment, and he hugged her back. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Xu Wanwan took a light breath and did not let go of the man. “It’s all your fault. Why did you bring Yan Zhi here to play…”

Xu Yanzhi, who was standing at the side, hugged his head and squatted down pitifully.

He looked at his mommy and this godfather hugging each other, and his eyes were filled with surprise. For a moment, he did not know whether to be angry or cry.

It was not until they walked out of the haunted house that Xu Wanwan finally got rid of her fear. She sighed lightly and then remembered Xu Yanzhi.

“Yanzhi, were You Alright Just Now?”

Xu Yanzhi pouted unhappily. “Mommy didn’t care about me anymore, and Daddy didn’t protect me either…”

Xu Wanwan felt guilty. She squatted down and hugged little tuan in her arms. “I’m sorry. Mommy was also very scared just now. I didn’t mean to throw you aside.”

Xu Yanzhi looked at Li Jingran angrily again, hoping that he would apologize to her.

“You are a man, you have to learn to protect yourself,”Li Jingran looked back at him and said lightly.

Xu Yanzhi pursed his lips, indicating that he was wronged.

But he had no reason to be wronged, and he was worried that Li Jingran would suspect that he was not a real man.

It was already very late when he returned to the Li family. Xu Yanzhi was exhausted after playing outside for a whole day.

He went to bed early to rest. Xu Wanwan only got up and walked out of the room when she saw that little treasure was asleep.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a tall man standing at the stairs.

Li Jingran’s back was facing her. His straight back added a bit of male charm under the halo of the lights. He was holding a cigarette at the tip of his finger. The flickering scarlet color was particularly dazzling in the night.

Xu Wanwan only glanced at him indifferently before looking away.

She turned around and was about to return to the room when her wrist was pulled.

“Li Jingran, let go.”

She did not turn around. She felt the scorching heat coming from her wrist and exhaled lightly.

Li Jingran’s voice was very hoarse. “Yan Zhi is asleep?”

“Yes, he’s asleep.”Xu Wanwan nodded and turned around to look at the man. She asked patiently, “It’s so late. Is there something you need me for?”

The profile of Li Jingran’s face was covered in a faint shadow under the dim light. “Are you used to sleeping in your old room?”

These words seemed to be reminding her of something.

Xu Wanwan nodded without batting an eyelid. “Yes, I’m fine. Director Li, you don’t have to worry about me living well.”

“But I didn’t sleep well.”Li Jingran took a few steps closer to her, and the strength in his palm deepened slightly. “Can you accompany me tonight?”

Xu Wanwan’s expression instantly darkened. “Li Jingran, such a joke isn’t funny.”

Li Jingran’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile. “When you left me, you didn’t ask my permission. Now that you’re back, shouldn’t you continue to carry out your previous duties?”
