You hidden in my heart - Chapter 44.1

Chapter 44.1

After being knocked to the ground, Zhao Cichu lay motionless on the ground as if she had fainted. She did not make any sound for a long time and lay there like a lifeless puppet.

Her whole mind was confused; her vision was dark. She was dizzy, and her ears were ringing. Half of her face was swollen, blue, and purple, and swollen like a bun. There was also a thin nosebleed in the left nostril.

Others could imagine how much anger was contained in Lu Yuling’s slap.

“Young one!” Li Xiyan and Li Xichen both reacted now, but no one paid attention to Zhao Cichu. Instead, they ran towards Li Xining and the two little children anxiously and worriedly.

Li Xining was frightened, and her face was still pale. The two children were also frightened. They hugged their little aunt tightly, with their big black eyes filled with fear.

At the moment when the wolf dog was barking and charging at them, they all thought they were going to be bitten to death by the dog.

 The three children, one large, and two small, were stunned for a long time in their hearts before they came to their senses. Then the two children were frightened and cried. The cries started loudly, one after another. While wailing, they shouted. “Mom! Mom!”

Li Xiyan and Li Xichen quickly took the two children out of Li Xining’s arms and kept coaxing them softly.

Li Xining also wanted to cry, and her eye circles were red. 

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuling immediately walked over to her, hugged her tightly to his arms, held her back with one hand, and covered the back of her head with the other, speaking with an extremely gentle voice. “I’m here; don’t be afraid. It’s okay; it’s okay.”

His tender look was completely different from the fierce look when he kicked the vicious dog and hit Zhao Cichu just now. 

Li Xining was still frightened, and the image of the black wolf-dog rushing towards her still flashed in front of her eyes. She no longer held back, nor did she care about restraint and dignity, and hugged Lu Yuling’s waist tightly.

After a long while, Zhao Cichu regained her composure, and then she cried. 

“Wow.”

She cried hard as if it was she who had been wronged. 

To be honest, since she was a child, she has been the one supported by her mother and the Zhao family. No one dared to hit her, not even her father. Today was the first time in her life that she had been beaten. 

But no one cared about her.

Li Xiyan and Li Xichen looked at her with eyes that could almost spitfire. Although Zhao Cichu had always targeted their sister before, it was just a small fight, a little cunning, and a little trick. Who knew she would do such a thing this time? She was ruthless and let go of dogs to attack people, which might kill someone!

 However, due to the relationship between the Li and Zhao families, they had to try their best to restrain their anger; otherwise, they would have slapped Zhao Cichu like Lu Yuling.

The room was full of people from the Li family. Of course, Zhao Cichu knew that she was now outnumbered. She glared at Lu Yuling fiercely with tears in her eyes. Then she gritted her teeth and cursed at him. “Son of a bitch! Just wait for me!”

The words “son of a bitch” touched Lu Yuling’s bottom line again. He would not allow anyone to insult his mother. His face instantly became darker than before, and veins popped up on his forehead. He was as furious and irritable as a trapped animal that had just been released from its cage, turning around to deal with Zhao Cichu.

However, Li Xining hugged his waist tightly.

“Lu Yuling! Lu Yuling!” Li Xining knew that he was definitely furious, and she also knew why he was so angry—if someone cursed her father in front of her now, she would also be furious, but she could not let go of Lu Yuling; otherwise, Lu Yuling would beat Zhao Cichu to half a disability.

Although she didn’t like Zhao Cichu, the Zhao family liked her. The old man and the old lady of the Zhao family liked her, and Zhao Hailan liked her. If she wanted Lu Yuling to recognise his ancestor and return to the clan, she must not let him offend the entire Zhao family because of Zhao Cichu now. Otherwise, how could he return to Zhao’s family in the future?

Moreover, Li Xining was not sure about Zhao Hailan’s attitude towards Lu Yuling, nor the attitude of the two elders of the Zhao family towards Lu Yuling, so he and Zhao Cichu couldn’t completely break up. After all, Zhao Cichu was the child who grew up beside them. Their feelings for Zhao Cichu were definitely deeper than those for Lu Yuling, their grandson whom they had never met.

Lu Yuling’s face was still gloomy. He only knew that this person had insulted his mother, so he had to teach her a lesson. The violence in his expression only increased, but facing Li Xining, he tried his best to restrain his anger. He said to her as calmly as possible, “Let go.”

 Li Xining not only did not let go of her but stood up from the sofa holding his waist, then hugged his neck and hurriedly comforted him. “You don’t be angry, don’t be angry… I beg you, don’t be angry.”

Lu Yuling gritted his teeth.

Since the last misunderstanding between the two of them, he had sworn in his heart that he would never lose his temper in front of her in his life. So after listening to her words, he tried his best to calm down and reached out to hug her. He touched her waist, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm down his irritable mood.

He has had no father since he was a child, only his mother. She gave him life desperately and abandoned everything for him. Therefore, his mother was really important. Although she was gone, that part of her life was still there. The heavy feelings remain unchanged.

Li Xining could understand him very well. The little boy, who had not yet grown up, had only his mother around him. She was the only one to him and the only blessing in the world, so he did not allow anyone to insult his mother.

At the same time, she was also touched that he could endure this anger for her.

Then she patted his back and softly comforted him while giving Zhao Cichu a wink to tell her to leave quickly.

But Zhao Cichu never left, staring at Li Xining in surprise and jealousy.

Have a nice day!
