In the corner, a man trembled, realizing he had failed to recognize the Prince’s wife and had even provoked her. He muttered anxiously to himself, worried about the trouble he might face later.
Just as Lan’er and the others were moved by Long Junhao’s passionate declaration, a childish cry suddenly disrupted the atmosphere.
“Mommy, what’s wrong? Don’t bully my mommy!”
Zhen, with his small stature, rushed out and stood in front of Lan Lan, seeing Long Junhao holding her face and the men around with swords. He thought bad people were bullying his mother and displayed the bravery of a little man on his resolute face.
“Good son, well done! Mommy’s kiss for you! When we go back, Mommy will give you a gift!” Lan Lan hugged her adorable son and kissed him repeatedly. She loved him so much – he was brave enough to protect her even at such a young age.
Seeing Lan Lan’s joy, some people’s faces turned ugly.
“Mom? When did you become a mother? How come I didn’t know?” Long Junhao angrily pulled her up, speaking through gritted teeth.
“Why should I tell you? This is my son. What does it have to do with you?” Lan Lan flung his hand away and adopted an indifferent attitude. Remembering past events made her angry, and she had a chance to infuriate him.
Long Junhao, appearing guilty, said, “I’m sorry, Lan’er, it’s all my fault. If you want, you can hit me to vent your anger.” He then took her hand and slapped himself a few times.
“What are you doing? Don’t think I’ll forgive you just like that.” Although her words were harsh, her tone sounded weak and powerless.
The two children looked at each other, and Zhen spoke up with tacit understanding.
“Mom, who is this uncle?”
Looking at her son’s innocent face, Lan’s eyes darted around, and she gave a sly smile.
“This uncle is an old friend of mine.”
“Lan’er, what are you talking about?” Long Junhao was speechless.
“Baby, I’m your daddy!” Long Junhao said, quickly changing his approach and putting on an innocent smile.
“Mom, is this uncle really my biological father? What about our foster father?” Zhen’er asked in confusion.
Lan broke out in a cold sweat. What should she do now?
