128 Chapter 127, I Will Protect You
Li Xu pursed her lips and did not speak.
Her silence seemed to be indulgent.
Zhang Kun walked forward bit by bit and hugged her.
But he only hugged her!
“Ah Xu, don’t be afraid. If he comes again, give me a call. I will protect you and the children!” Zhang Kun hugged her and said in a hoarse voice.
“Hmm!” Li Xu replied in a low voice.
Ever since the two of them were together, this hug was the closest they had ever been to each other.
After saying that, no one moved. No one spoke again.
They just hugged each other quietly.
Li Xu buried her head in Zhang Kun’s arms and thought to herself with some annoyance, “This is such a good opportunity. Should they just hug like this?”
Should she praise Zhang Kun for being honest or call him dumb?
She didn’t say anything. She just looked up at Zhang Kun and called out, “Ah Kun!”
The two of them stood in the darkness for a long time. Their eyes had already adapted to the darkness.
So Zhang Kun could see that Li Xu’s bright eyes were looking at him.
Zhang Kun only felt that there was a fire burning from his chest all the way to...
He licked his lips and moved his right hand from Li Xu’s arm to her face.
As soon as Zhang Kun put his hand on Li Xu’s face, she closed her eyes.
This action was no different from a hint!
Zhang Kun’s rationality was suddenly burned away by the fire!
He held Li Xu’s face with both hands and lowered his head!
...
Half an hour later, Zhang Kun held Li Xu’s hand and walked out of the shop.
Li Xu crossed her arms and stood at the door, waiting. After Zhang Kun locked the door of the shop, he handed the key to Li Xu.
Li Xu reached out, wanting to take the key away.
But as soon as Li Xu’s hand touched Zhang Kun’s hand, he held it.
Together with Li Xu’s hand and the key, he held it in his palm.
Li Xu looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head with a red face.
Zhang Kun held Li Xu with one hand and held the bicycle with the other, slowly walking home.
Li Xu lowered her head and thought sweetly in her heart, Zhang Kun’s face is clearly not good-looking, but why did I feel I haven’t seen enough of it just now?
The two of them did not speak on the way, first because they were shy. Second because they were afraid to light the fire again.
When they got home, the three children had already finished their homework and were reading together in the living room.
When she raised her head, Ji Yuanyuan noticed that something was wrong.
Why was her mother’s face so red? Why was Uncle Zhang’s expression so strange?
Her eyes moved between the two of them thoughtfully.
After looking back and forth twice, she had figured it out!
Oh~
She cheered in her heart!
Zhang Kun had long seen her small eyes darting around. He went forward and picked Ji Yuanyuan up, raising her high up. “Yuanyuan, did you miss me?”
Ji Yuanyuan hugged Zhang Kun’s head and said with a smile, “Of course, I miss you very much. I miss you more than my Mommy misses you!”
“Oh? Does your Mommy miss me?” Zhang Kun asked deliberately. When he asked, he tilted his head and looked at Li Xu.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded as if she was serious, “Of course, my Mommy will definitely miss you very much. Uncle Zhang, it would be great if you could stay in our house forever.”
Zhang Kun felt a wave of warmth in his heart. He could not help but look at Li Xu again.
Li Xu was tidying up the kitchen with her back to them.
Zhang Kun didn’t notice that Li Xu’s face had turned red again.
After playing with the children for a while, Zhang Kun was about to leave.
In the past, every time Zhang Kun left, Li Xu would have to go down and send him off.
But this time, it was unprecedented.
Zhang Kun also knew that she was probably a little shy, so he didn’t pester her and just left.
But what he didn’t know was that not long after he closed the door, Li Xu returned to the bedroom and watched Zhang Kun gradually walk away through the bedroom window.
Only when Zhang Kun’s figure was no longer visible did Li Xu return to the kitchen.
The moment Zhang Kun said, ‘I’ll protect you,’ Li Xu’s heart was very satisfied.
She had always been alone.
Even before the divorce, she had always been alone.
...
She was used to supporting and making decisions by herself.
Only now did she realize that she really had someone to rely on.
From then on, she was no longer alone.
This feeling made her feel as if she was floating.
Li Xu thought that Ji Jianguo wouldn’t come so soon.
But reality proved that she still didn’t know Ji Jianguo well enough.
The next afternoon, Li Xu looked up and saw Ji Jianguo.
Her expression turned cold and she said directly, “You can go, I won’t give you any money.”
Ji Jianguo was stunned on the spot. He didn’t expect Li Xu’s attitude to change so quickly after just two days of not seeing him.
She had clearly softened her attitude that day and even took the initiative to ask him how much money he owed.
Someone must have said something to her. Otherwise, how could she have been so resolute!
...
“Did that Zhang Kun say something to you? How can you believe his words? The child isn’t his. He definitely won’t care about the child!” Ji Jianguo said somewhat emotionally.
Li Xu, however, frowned, “How did you know that his name is Zhang Kun?”
How could there be a wall in the world that wouldn’t let the wind in? Ji Jianguo went around the village and learned a lot of things.
Only then did he know that Li Xu and this man named Zhang Kun had already developed to the point of meeting their parents.
They had already met their parents, and they were about to get married!
“You have to believe that in this world, I am the one who loves the children the most. After all, they are my flesh and blood. How could I just stand by and watch something affect their future because of me?” Ji Jianguo did not reply to Li Xu’s words.
Hearing this, Li Xu sneered, “Ji Jianguo, do you believe your own words? I will tell you clearly that I will not give you a single cent. If you continue to harass me, I will directly call the police. Believe me or not?”
Ji Jianguo looked at her in surprise as if he did not know Li Xu, after a long while, he said, “I have never seen such a heartless mother like you. Can you bear to watch the children’s future be affected by such a small matter? You...”
“Don’t talk about the children’s future!”
Li Xu raised her head in surprise. The moment she saw Zhang Kun, her eyes turned red.
Zhang Kun stepped forward and stood beside Li Xu.
“Ah Kun...” Li Xu subconsciously called out to him, her eyes fixed on his face.
Ji Jianguo looked at Li Xu in a daze.
At this moment, Li Xu was so weak that people couldn’t help but feel pity for her.
A long time ago, she was also like this in front of him. But later on, she changed.
How long had it been since he had seen this expression of Li Xu?
Ji Jianguo’s heart suddenly felt sour.
Seeing Ji Jianguo keep staring at Li Xu, Zhang Kun’s expression immediately turned cold. He grabbed Li Xu’s hand and gently comforted her.
