Chapter 1818: After Raising the Good Baby, I Faked My Death 12

That evening, Jin Chen received a call from the homeroom teacher.

At that moment the atmosphere at the dinner table was fine, but Wen Si Luo was suddenly picked up and placed aside, unable to continue sitting in Jin Chen's arms.

He looked at Jin Chen, bewildered, "Brother."

Jin Chen put down his phone, about to ask what happened today, but seeing Wen Si Luo hadn't finished his meal, he said, "Eat first, I'll ask you later."

Wen Si Luo: "……"

Who could still eat after that?

Not wanting to worry his brother, Wen Si Luo obediently finished his meal, then followed Jin Chen hand-in-hand into the study to be questioned.

Jin Chen had just sat down when a glutinous rice ball appeared in his arms.

Wen Si Luo blinked his eyes, then buried himself in Jin Chen's embrace.

Jin Chen couldn't help laughing, he held him so he could sit, flicked his fingertip across the nose, and asked, "Did someone bully you today?"

Wen Si Luo looked at his brother doubtfully and shook his head.

"No, the teacher called brother to ask if I bullied someone else, right?"

He thought it was that whatever Hu Ge who had reported him.

"It's this matter," Jin Chen said, "Our Xiao Luo is so well‑behaved, he could never start a fight, so was it self‑defense?"

"Hmm…"

Wen Si Luo hesitated a few seconds, then admitted it, leaning on Jin Chen's shoulder and telling him everything that had happened today.

He also emphasized, "The corn snakes aren't poisonous, and they weren't bitten."

Wen Si Luo lifted his wet eyes, full of reliance, looking at Jin Chen, "Will you blame me, brother?"

"No."

Jin Chen's soft gaze fell on Wen Si Luo's face, yet he still furrowed his brows, pondered his wording, and said, "But Guabao, today's situation is a bit dangerous."

"You don't know how many people were there, and besides, it was on the sixth floor with no safety measures."

He gently stroked Wen Si Luo's back, rubbing to soothe, "When protecting yourself, you must first watch your safety—if Guabao were shoved off today, what would brother do?"

Wen Si Luo rested his head on Jin Chen's shoulder, obedient and clingy; hearing this, he flinched slightly, only then realizing he felt a little afraid.

Most likely it was Jin Chen's tone that scared him.

"Brother… don't scare me."

Wen Si Luo softened his voice, pitifully, and rubbed his forehead against Jin Chen's neck.

"I won't do that again."

"Pinky promise." Jin Chen extended his finger, speaking solemnly.

Wen Si Luo exhaled in relief, stretched out his slender finger and hooked it with Jin Chen's, giving it a little shake.

"All right, tomorrow I'll go to school with you." Jin Chen was still soft‑hearted; his warm palm covered Wen Si Luo's little cheek.

"Leave this to me, brother; from now on there won't be anyone bullying you at school."

Wen Si Luo, feeling secure, curved a sweet smile.

According to Ling Gun Gun's investigation, Jin Chen learned that Hu Ge could swagger at school because he had an uncle who was a department head.

Under Jin Chen's intervention, the parents of transfer students who had been extorted by Hu Ge also learned of the matter, which blew up completely, rising to involve the interests of many student families.

And after Jin Chen acquired a stake, his care for Wen Si Luo became unprecedented.

But Wen Si Luo seemed to have poured all his limited feelings into relying on Jin Chen; nothing else could stir his emotions, and his response to the teachers' concern was appropriately distant.

Moreover, for Wen Si Luo, who was already busy with his studies, there were still other things that needed more attention.

Be wary of the people who appear around brother.

These people differ from ordinary friends; the perceptive Wen Si Luo noticed that whenever they got close to brother, they always tried to monopolize him, with strong intent.

From the parents' meetings, when other classmates' older sisters and aunts showed up, to when he grew a bit older and went traveling with brother, encountering all sorts of people—male and female—there were always some who harbored that intention.

This worried Wen Si Luo to death.

For a period of time, in Wen Si Luo's eyes Jin Chen was like his favorite little cake—whenever he showed his face, lots of people wanted to snatch him away.

This vigilance increased over time, growing more intense.

When Wen Si Luo turned fifteen, this became unprecedentedly heavy, and he didn't notice at all the gradual increase of eyes watching him.

As he aged and entered adolescence, Wen Si Luo became stunningly beautiful; the pampered, exquisite beauty coupled with its opposite coolness made Jin Chen likewise unable to stop paying extra attention.

At that time Jin Chen was twenty‑five; to give his child a better life, his business grew larger and larger, and he had practically become a delicacy in the eyes of his partners and acquaintances.

But Jin Chen was busy raising his child, and he didn't spare a thought for others who approached with hidden motives.

That day, as the year‑end approached, he had already given the household aunt and servants the day off, so he simply brought Wen Si Luo to the office to keep him company while working.

Though called "going to work," it was really just wrapping up the quarter's final tasks with the executives; when Jin Chen held meetings, he placed Wen Si Luo in the private lounge.

"Xiao Kui, the young master is in the lounge; President Jin instructed to prepare something hot for him to eat." The chief assistant was on his way to the conference room, saying to the new colleague in the CEO's office,

"Okay, I'm on my way."

Xiao Kui smiled with a hint of hidden meaning.
