Chapter 301: Am I just going out like this?
Chenchen puffed out his chest, looking proud:
"Of course I was trying to protect Mommy! Last night, I woke up and wanted to look for you, but I saw this big bad wolf sleeping in the living room. I was afraid he'd get up in the middle of the night and disturb you, so I wanted to sit here and watch over him. But I was so sleepy I fell asleep... But don't worry, I was sleeping on top of him on purpose. I'll wake up if he moves!"
Chenchen feels good about himself now. He thinks he is a hero who protected his mother.
Lu Yiran's expression was brilliant and varied, changing like an overturned palette. First, he was helpless and at a loss whether to laugh or cry, then he understood with an expression of "as expected", and finally he froze in an indescribable complexity.
His slender fingers unconsciously stroked the armrest of the sofa, his eyes fixed on Chenchen.
This little guy actually thought he was a big bad wolf that needed to be guarded against?
A bitter taste rose in Lu Yiran's chest, as if he had swallowed an unripe green plum.
What made him even more amused and helpless was that the so-called warmth last night was not a blanket at all, but this little ancestor directly treated him as a human cushion.
"puff--"
Mu Nanyan hurriedly pursed her lips, but couldn't hide the smile that spread across the corners of her eyes.
The morning light gave her a soft outline, and even her hair sparkled with tiny rays of light.
When Lu Yiran raised his eyes, he happened to catch her rare lively look. When their eyes met, Mu Nanyan quickly restrained her smile, coughed lightly, and said to Chenchen:
"Go wash up and have breakfast, then we'll be leaving."
"good!"
Chenchen jumped towards the bathroom like a happy little deer.
When passing by Lu Yiran, he did not forget to give him a warning look, just like a little knight guarding a treasure.
Chenchen's footsteps gradually faded away until they completely disappeared at the bathroom door. Lu Yiran then slowly stood up. His tall body cast a shadow in the morning light, covering Mu Nanyan completely.
Mu Nanyan subconsciously took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Lu Yiran. She raised her eyes, her voice deliberately distant:
"Now that Mr. Lu is awake, isn't it time to leave?"
"I'm going out like this?"
Lu Yiran chuckled softly, his slender fingers casually fiddling with the wrinkled collar of his shirt.
The originally crisp fabric was now covered in wrinkles, and a few suspicious water stains could be vaguely seen. They were Chenchen's saliva...
He raised his eyes to look at Mu Nanyan, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes:
"Besides, I'm not here to stay overnight. I'm here to watch over you. How can I give up halfway?"
Mu Nanyan's fingertips pinched her palm unconsciously. She really wanted to know how Lu Yiran could say this so naturally.
"I'm going to go change next door and have breakfast with you guys later."
Lu Yiran slowly adjusted his cuffs. He suddenly leaned forward, his warm breath brushing against her ear:
"If you dare to leave first..."
The unfinished words turned into a chuckle, spreading ambiguously in the air.
Only he himself knew that this was just a bluff, and now in front of Mu Nanyan, he was the loser.
In fact, he had no idea what could threaten Mu Nanyan, because she didn't love him... He could only be threatened by Mu Nanyan... That's why he said this hesitantly.
Mu Nanyan looked up at him, turned around and went back to her bedroom, ignoring what Lu Yiran said.
Lu Yiran looked at Mu Nanyan's back as she left, smiled helplessly, and walked towards the door...
