Chapter 319: Moving Again

When Lu Xiwan and Fu Sijue rushed home, Lu Xixi was already asleep under the nanny's care, lying in the nanny's arms, uneasily curled up; seeing her like that, Lu Xiwan felt a pang of heartache.

"Fortunately, neither the young miss nor the young master was hurt; this situation is all my fault."

Uncle Chen lowered his head in shame; if he hadn't harbored wishful thinking, Xi Xi wouldn't have been frightened like this by a bad person.

Lu Xiwan stroked Yao Yao's little face with heartache, holding him tightly, and said, "The responsibility isn't yours alone."

Yao Yao sensibly hugged Lu Xiwan and, as if to comfort her, planted a kiss on her cheek, saying, "I've protected little sister Xi Xi very well."

He rarely initiates such closeness, and soon shyly buried his head in Lu Xiwan's embrace, while Fu Sijue watched Yao Yao, who was forcing calm, with mixed feelings.

"I've already had security tightened."

The silent atmosphere kept spreading until Fu Sijue's phone rang again.

"How is it? Have you decided?" Fu He Song, unable to wait for a reply any longer, called immediately.

He still didn't know what had happened, still imagining Fu Sijue paying the price for his actions, and his tone couldn't help but be gleeful.

Fu He Song's words were like a small stone dropped into a calm lake, sending out ripples.

"Say that to the police."

Fu Sijue heard the siren on the other end of the line and hung up without hesitation.

Uncle Chen carefully picked up Xi Xi and walked upstairs slowly; Lu Xiwan remained frightened, clutching Yao Yao tightly with her hands, and Fu Sijue had to use some strength to make her release Yao Yao.

"Don't worry too much."

Lu Xiwan lifted her eyes, her gaze deep, her eyes full of fear.

"How can I not worry?"

Today they could sneak into our home; what about tomorrow? Will they strike right under her nose?

Lu Xiwan dared not place her hopes on anyone; the only thing she could believe in was herself.

Yao Yao sensed the fear coming from Lu Xiwan, took her hand, and said, "I'll take good care of little sister Xi Xi."

Yao Yao's sensible behavior didn't give Lu Xiwan even a bit of relief; she, like a startled bird, clung tightly to Yao Yao.

"It's all Mommy's fault……"

Her guilt toward Yao Yao left Lu Xiwan barely able to think rationally; Fu Sijue gently separated her and Yao Yao, took her hand, and led her upstairs.

"Wanwan, you need to rest." Fu Sijue forcibly pressed her onto the bed, then went over and shut the door.

Lu Xiwan struggled to get up, but couldn't.

"I need to watch them to feel at ease!"

Fu Sijue turned her body and said, "We can't always stay by their side; today Yao Yao did very well."

It was only because Yao Yao bought time and Uncle Chen arrived promptly that we turned danger into safety today.

Their children aren't as fragile as they imagined; Fu Sijue earnestly comforted Lu Xiwan's already broken emotions.

"If I had been here, none of this would have happened!" Lu Xiwan's attitude was especially firm; she wouldn't even listen to Fu Sijue's words.

"They'll grow up; you can't protect them forever." Fu Sijue coaxed her like a child, his tone soft, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Rest a while, calm your mind; during this time I'll protect them."

Fu Sijue never denies the losses caused by his mistakes, but they only make him stronger.

This time was no exception; Fu Sijue tucked Lu Xiwan in and kissed her forehead.

"Go to sleep; everything will get better."

Yao Yao waited quietly outside the door; when Fu Sijue came out, he glanced inside to make sure Lu Xiwan was all right before withdrawing his gaze.

Fu Sijue and Yao Yao stared at each other; after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a word of praise.
