Chapter 353 Good, she loves to hear it!
After seeing Tan Siqi, Fang Xiuli's fear that had been weighing on her heart for the past half day surged up, and she no longer had to pretend to be proud in front of her beloved.
Her eyes were red and tears welled up in them. She said in a trembling and panicked voice, "Siqi, I'm so scared. You don't even know what happened. How could there be such bad people? How could they hurt such a young child... There was also a little kid, only six or seven years old, so small, and he actually tried to stab me with a knife... How could there be such a kid... I... I..."
Because she was too nervous and frightened, Fang Xiuli's mind was in a mess. The scenes kept flashing back and interweaving, making her unable to speak clearly.
Tan Siqi hugged Fang Xiuli and held her in his arms, gently stroking Fang Xiuli's back as he did many times when he comforted Tan Rourou.
He comforted her, "It's okay, Xiu Li, you're okay now, don't be afraid."
Fang Xiuli smelled a familiar and reassuring scent on Tan Siqi. She closed her eyes tightly, but the wet tears did not fall, but stained her eyelashes, trembling with watery light.
She leaned on Tan Siqi's shoulder and nodded vigorously.
"Well, I'm not afraid. As long as you are here, I'm not afraid."
The proud rich lady and the gentle ordinary man, who were once in Chu Yue's eyes, this seemingly mismatched couple hugged each other tightly.
Fang Xiuli was still holding Tan Rourou. When she leaned on Tan Siqi's arms, Tan Rourou was sandwiched between her father and mother. She imitated Tan Siqi's actions and gently patted Fang Xiuli's shoulders.
"Mom, don't be afraid. Rourou will protect you and help you fight the bad guys so that they won't bully you."
Tan Rourou spoke in a very serious voice, her little fists clenched.
Fang Xiuli listened and suddenly burst out laughing.
She looked at Tan Rourou, gently stroked her daughter's face, and a smile flashed in her tear-stained eyes.
Tan Rourou remembered something. She touched her pocket and took out a plaid handkerchief. It was the one Lu Yuanbao had given her in the car not long ago.
The girl held a handkerchief in her small hand and gently wiped Fang Xiuli's face.
She coaxed, "Don't cry, Mommy. We won't cry."
Fang Xiuli's eyes flickered as she retorted with a smile, "Mom didn't cry. Only cowards cry. Mom is not one of them."
Tan Rourou had just said this a few hours ago, and now Fang Xiuli said it again. They are indeed mother and daughter, with the same proud temperament.
Tan Siqi looked at his wife and daughter with endless tenderness on his face.
On this side, the family of three huddled together, kissing and hugging each other; on the other side, Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin were much calmer. Apart from Lu Yuanbao holding Chu Yue's hand tightly, there was not even any close contact between them.
After all, Chu Yue was not Fang Xiuli, and she was not frightened by what happened.
She couldn't just throw herself into Lu Zhanlin's arms crying, and then sob, "Wow, honey, I'm so scared of being photographed." Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
But being too calm is not good either.
Chu Yue looked at Lu Zhanlin's tense expression and the deep worry in the man's dark eyes, and she felt soft-hearted.
She stood up, first let go of the hand that Lu Yuanbao was holding, then opened her arms and hugged Lu Zhanlin.
Lu Zhanlin was too tall, and Chu Yue was not tall enough, so she had to stand on tiptoe to touch Lu Zhanlin's neck when hugging him.
Chu Yue avoided the angle and gently touched the neck of Lu Zhanlin's military uniform collar with her lips where Lu Yuanbao couldn't see.
Whether it was a kiss or an accidental touch, let Lu Zhanlin guess.
Lu Zhanlin's black eyes were slightly stunned.
After Chu Yue hugged Lu Zhanlin, she realized how stiff the man's body was. The touch of his muscles was different when they hugged.
She still prefers the previous feeling, which is comfortable only when the touch is moderate.
"Zhan Lin, thank you for worrying about me and coming to see me. And... I missed you a lot these days."
If Chu Yue hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that the young couple hadn't seen each other for nearly half a month. Originally, this day should have been a time for them to reunite after a long separation, and a day when separation was better than a new marriage.
You should know that Lu Zhanlin didn’t get to eat meat the night Chu Yue went on the mission before.
Lu Zhanlin slowly raised his arms and hugged Chu Yue in return. He leaned over slightly and whispered in Chu Yue's ear, "Me too. I miss you a lot."
Chu Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect that an old man could say sweet words.
Yes, she loves to hear it!
Chu Yue not only enjoyed listening, but also blushed slightly, especially when Lu Zhanlin leaned close to talk to her, her ears felt very warm when his breath brushed against them.
It was clearly she who was flirting, but with just one word from the man, she became the one being flirted with.
after.
Chu Yue pulled Lu Zhanlin to sit down, hugged Lu Yuanbao in her arms again, and told Lu Zhanlin in detail what happened today.
When Lu Zhanlin heard that Chu Yue went to an unfamiliar family area alone and challenged Ye Zhigang's family 1V3, he almost tensed up his muscles again, ready to throw a heavy punch at any time, wishing to teach those people a lesson.
Lu Zhanlin looked at Chu Yue and his face darkened.
He said in a serious tone, "Wife, this is too dangerous. If you encounter something like this in the future, you can't go alone. You can ask me, someone else, or the police, but you must never go alone."
Lu Zhanlin has a cold face, but he has always been gentle to Chu Yue. He has never said a harsh word to Chu Yue since they got along, and he always stands on Chu Yue's side unconditionally.
This was the first time he felt an urge in his heart to teach his wife a lesson. It was really too risky.
"I was wrong."
Extraordinarily, Chu Yue admitted her mistake outright.
Even Lu Yuanbao was shocked and looked up at Chu Yue in astonishment. Chu Yue was an omnipotent being who had never lost. Why would she be willing to say she was wrong?
Chu Yue’s thoughts were simple: if it was wrong, it was wrong.
She said softly, "When I went to look for Ye Zhaodi, my initial thought was just to find someone and bring them out. I didn't expect the situation I saw to be so serious. By then, I couldn't leave anymore, so I had to try even if it was dangerous."
"Later..." Chu Yue said, turning her head to look at Fang Xiuli and Tan Siqi on the other side, and said to Lu Zhanlin, "It was Fang Xiuli who called the police in time and brought the police to help me."
Lu Zhanlin followed Chu Yue's gaze and looked at Fang Xiuli, with obvious surprise flashing in his eyes.
Can the two of them help each other?
When you think about it carefully, the matter is strange. Fang Xiuli clearly hated Chu Yue to the core before. Even after explaining it clearly, she still acted as if she wanted to never have anything to do with her again and she wished she would never see each other again in her life.
But today, the two incompatible people not only rode in the same car, but also shared the same hatred and fought side by side to face the same enemy.
Is this turning enemies into friends?
Fang Xiuli and Tan Siqi noticed the gazes coming towards them.
Fang Xiuli pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, holding back her tears. It was fine to cry in front of Tan Siqi, but she didn't want to cry in front of Chu Yue. That would be too embarrassing.
When she turned around, she wanted to let go of Tan Siqi's hand, but Tan Siqi held it tightly and looked at her intently.
Although they were an old couple, Fang Xiuli's heart still beat faster. She glanced at Tan Siqi with red eyes, and then turned to look at Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin.
Everyone said that it was Fang Xiuli who took the initiative to pursue Tan Siqi. How could a man who could catch the eye of the young lady be an ordinary man?
