" Yu Dong wait.. wait a bit" Shen Li knew if he didn't stop her soon then she will definitely do something that might cause a ruckus in the village. He knew that she was in the right and her anger was justified but she needed to calm down a little in case she did something that might slip the cat out of the bag, if he didn't stop her now the consequences would become dire " Yu Dong listen to me" he grabbed her arm just as she marched to the front door when she didn't stop he snapped " Think about little bun and Chen Mi will you!"
That got her attention, she turned to look at him with a frown well it was still better than her blank expression right? Now that he got her attention Shen Li immediately whispered " I know you are angry but you can just march out to the villagers with all swords and blazes, if you slip up and the villagers find out that something is wrong with you – they will not just try to harm you but also Little bun who is your son, you need to think about a bit too"
" I will see who dares to harm my son.." said Yu Dong her expression fierce, she couldn't believe what just happened to her family members in her absence. She was only gone for a day, just a day and yet someone did something so sinister. If they just stole a bit of money that was left in her house, she would have just complained about it and forgot all about it but they dared to hurt her brother and intended to do the same to little bun who was just a baby!
He wasn't even a year old yet, if he got hurt and something devastating happened to him, who would have taken responsibility for it?
How can she let this go!
Shen Li understood what was going on in her head as he reached out to hold her hands in his " I am not asking you to let go of the matter, I am just asking you to calm down. You should return back with us and see what exactly happened, and try to treat Mai and brother Zhu, he got hurt while protecting little bun, you should treat him too …Lang would be upset as well once she finds out what happened, don't you think that you should be there to give her a reasonable explanation, her husband got hurt while protecting Little bun, Dong Dong." When he saw that she was no longer resisting, he softened his tone even more "and I think that little bun must be missing his mommy too like Mai, don't you want him to see him at least before leaving? They need you more than you think "
Yu Dong didn't want to return home, not when she was so weak that she couldn't even protect her family but Shen Li was correct as Lang Ru said little bun got scared after the incident and might be waiting for his parents' return, it almost killed her to stop herself from chasing those thieves but she still stopped herself when she saw just how pale Chen Mi had gone. He wasn't trembling but he didn't look good either, pursing her lips she turned to Shen Li " I hate it when you are right"
" I know you have told me this countless times," said Shen Li as he chuckled softly.
Yu Dong took Chen Mi from Ye Liu's arm and carried him over her back. The latter was so winded that he couldn't even walk straight without stumbling in his hurry to get to his son, Yu Dong securely carried him on her back before turning to Xiao Hua " You are in charge, make sure that no one goes out in the middle of the night and if something happens to call me instead of rushing out yourself" then she turned to Lang Ru " Go and call your mommy to hurry home, I will check up on your daddy by then"
Lang Ru looked at Yu Mai who was still crying in Ye Liu's arms and gritted her teeth, she didn't want to leave Yu Mai alone when he was crying like that but – she gotta do what she gotta do when the situation was calling for her to take responsibility. So, she nodded her head at Yu Dong and rushed to look for her mother.
After giving some pointers to the mers such as locking all the windows etc, etc – Yu Dong returned home with her husbands. Throughout the journey she could feel Chen Mi shiver and tremble, she understood his feelings .. as a father even though he heard from others that his son was alright, his heart would only settle down when he sees his son completely fine with his eyes, this was the reason why she walked as fast as she could and once they reached home, she didn't even have to crouch down.
Chen Mi jumped from her back as he rushed into the house, calling for little bun. Yu Dong followed suit as she too strode inside with a particularly fast pace.
" Little bun, little bun" Chen Mi was so worried that his voice was trembling and when Zhu Qian walked inside the house with little bun safe and sound in his arms, only then did Chen Mi's hanging heart settle down. He might scold little bun a lot but he was the son he gave birth to after knocking on the doors of hell, how could he not be worried when he heard that his son was almost attacked?
Chen Mi wasn't the only one who was startled but little bun was also scared stiff by what happened today. He was the little precious of his family and everyone loved him, even his daddy who often complained that he will smack his butt wouldn't touch him, no matter how angry he made him but today those two bad people not only pushed his little uncle down so ruthlessly one of them wanted to kick him like a ball!
Little bun who had never seen something as fierce and scary was so terrified that he was scared stiff if not for uncle Zhu he would have been kicked like a ball and would have slammed into the wall behind him. Just thinking about it made him tremble all over but he didn't cry because he didn't want to worry Uncle Zhu who was hurt so badly because of him, it was Uncle Zhu who pushed the culprit away who later retaliated by kicking him in the gut.
He couldn't be a bad boy by making Uncle Zhu worried but now that his daddy was back – the string that was holding little bun back snapped and big, fat tears filled his eyes as he cried " Da.. da …dahhh".
