Jian You could naturally tell the difference in those people, as they were all trained similarly.
And Xuan Mo Han would definitely not be at ease leaving her alone, so he would have Lu Hao Ran accompany her. Since she already had so many people protecting her, why was he still so worried, and what need was there for him to return for her sake?
"I don't feel at ease with anyone by your side, not even myself."
Jian You clutched her chest. This man, truly, would occasionally blurt out words that, while not love confessions, were better than any love confession.
"I promise you, nothing will happen, alright..." Jian You, in a rare display, adopted a coaxing tone.
However, Xuan Mo Han showed no sign of being moved, his brows furrowed even deeper, his face etched with profound worry.
Seeing no reply from the man, Jian You bit her lip, hesitated, and then typed another line: "If you come back, we'll get married, okay?"
This was a considerable temptation, yet it still didn't capture Xuan Mo Han's attention.
Finally, after a long period of soft pleas and even a direct phone call filled with her charming cooing, Jian You managed to get Xuan Mo Han to reluctantly agree.
"Phew~"
This man was just too difficult to handle. If it were always like this, wouldn't she be sacrificing too much?
Alas, it was like coaxing a child to get an adult to appease them…
Jian You couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. After tidying her clothes, she strode out.
As she reached the turn of the stairs, she saw a young man and woman embracing downstairs.
Perhaps it was Xuan Mo Han's incorrigible and thick-skinned nature that made Jian You unfazed by the scene before her. Instead, Xia Han, with red eyes, pushed Lu Hao Ran away.
She turned to look at Jian You, her gaze filled with a resolute intensity that warmed the heart.
"I'm going with you!"
She had only just learned that the phone call they had received might have been a trap, waiting for Qian Qian to fall into it. Therefore, she was determined to go, using both cajoling and threats to get Lu Hao Ran to agree.
Jian You raised an eyebrow and then nodded slightly. Since Lu Hao Ran had agreed, she certainly wouldn't say anything.
"Let's go…"
With that, Jian You simply walked out.
...
The group of them soon arrived at a secluded intersection near Peter Kindergarten. A distinguished man in a black overcoat was sitting in a car.
Lu Hao Ran glanced at the license plate and immediately walked forward to knock on the car window, "You, why are you here?" He didn't believe he was just passing by.
The car window rolled down. Qi Jia You glanced at the woman beside him without speaking. Lu Hao Ran quickly understood and involuntarily sighed with relief. With You here, he felt much more at ease; otherwise, he truly feared he wouldn't be able to protect his sister-in-law.
"I'll go in alone later. I'll explain to Xuan Mo Han."
"..."
The relief he had just felt suddenly got stuck in his throat…
If he allowed… no, if he let Jian You go in alone, he feared his good brother would skin him alive.
Even Qi Jia You was surprised. Lan Qian Qian seemed very different this time, possessing a newfound composure and calmness, even exuding a subtle aura.
However, he wasn't specifically here to wait outside.
"The situation inside is unknown. It's too risky for you to go in alone. I'll go with you."
He had disguised himself today and could hide in the shadows. Most importantly… his father-in-law was already providing inside support.
Naturally, no one dared to keep their father-in-law in the dark about today's events.
Actually, given today's situation, so many people wouldn't have been needed. But someone insisted on seeking death by targeting their father-in-law's daughter. If he didn't show up, he wouldn't even be able to enter his father-in-law's house any day.
He even suspected… that his little woman's call had been hung up by his father-in-law… which was why he hadn't dared to call her.
Qi Jia You smiled helplessly. His father-in-law, without a doubt, must not be in a good mood right now. If he didn't handle this impeccably, all his efforts would be in vain.
Similarly, if he did well, it would be an opportunity to impress his father-in-law. He might then pull far ahead of Xuan Mo Han…
Perhaps because Qi Jia You seemed more reliable, Jian You nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing.
Lu Hao Ran: "..."
Why was there sibling discrimination? Weren't they all Mo's friends?
Looking up, he saw Qi Jia You getting out of the car and giving him a meaningful look. He quickly composed himself, nodded, and realized he had other matters to attend to…
"I'll go in first…"
Seeing that they all had their plans, Jian You left them with this statement and strode towards the main entrance.
Xia Han gazed at her petite back and murmured, "I hope nothing happens…"
She couldn't stop Qian Qian's decision, but she would always be by her side!
...
The closer they got to the main entrance, the more people there were.
Jian You frowned as she weaved through the crowd. The number of adults and children today was unusually high.
Looking at the open gate before her, Jian You couldn't help but feel that this time she had returned as a mother, attending her child's commendation ceremony.
As Jian You was contemplating this, she entered the school along with the crowd.
Hiss~
Sensing someone grabbing her arm, Jian You inwardly gasped, her body reacting faster than her mind. She quickly retaliated, but the moment she turned her head, she immediately froze all her movements, stunned as the person led her towards a secluded spot.
"...Sir, why are you here?"
Norman Nise displayed a stern expression towards his beloved daughter for the first time: "How could you do something so dangerous?!"
He had been furious when he first heard the news. Providing support? How could he possibly agree to his daughter being in danger!
Those two unreliable men!
If it weren't for the time constraint, he would have caught them and lectured them!
Norman Nise was angry, but Jian You didn't seem to care much. She blinked her eyes, "What did I do?"
Ignoring her words, Norman Nise found his daughter's actions to be truly adorable…
Ahem~ No matter how cute she was, he wouldn't agree today!
"You come with me. From now on, you are not allowed to put yourself in danger, nor are you allowed to gamble with your own life!"
Jian You lowered her head, looking at Norman Nise's hand as he held hers, remaining silent. The man's grip was firm, as if afraid she would run away.
After a while, Jian You stopped dead in her tracks.
When she stopped, Norman Nise had to stop as well, turning back with an anxious expression, "Good girl, I'll take you home. We won't stay here..."
As he spoke, Norman Nise suddenly noticed his daughter staring intently at him. His heart skipped a beat, and he feigned nonchalance, asking, "What's wrong?"
Jian You withdrew her sharp gaze and asked casually, "Sir, why do you care about me so much?"
Norman Nise clasped his hands behind his back, the fingertips of both hands rubbing unconsciously, "You are the same age as Zi Yue. Seeing you not cherishing your body, it's inevitable that I would think of my own daughter."
After speaking, Norman Nise wanted to observe his daughter's reaction, but Jian You turned around directly, "Sir should know that hiding is useless…"
If Norman Nise hadn't denied it just now, she would have let this matter pass.
But… he had instinctively concealed it…
And he cared about her so much…
And why did Xuan Mo Han notify Sir the first moment something happened today…
Norman Nise looked at his daughter's back, his eyes filled with an inscrutable depth, his face adorned with an unreadable expression…
