"Brother, when did you bee so awesome?" Xiaoxin hopped and skipped to Jian Xiaokai’s side.
"Wasn’t your brother always awesome?"
"No! It’s just that you’re even more awesome now!"
"Of course, how else am I supposed to protect our family’s eldest princess and the little princess?"
Eldest princess? Was he talking about her? Jian Dan looked at Jian Xiaokai, and their eyes met just then.
Although Jian Dan had many questions she wanted to ask Jian Xiaokai, she held back and decided to ask after returning to the hotel.
The little episode just now didn’t affect the mood of the six people at all. On the contrary, Jian Xiaokai’s mood became even better, after all, this was the first time he had put his long-term training into practical use, and it seemed quite effective.
The six of them played until almost nine in the evening before returning to the hotel. After Jian Dan had finished her bath, she waited at Jian Xiaokai’s door. As soon as Jian Xiaokai came out of the bathroom after his shower, Jian Dan pulled him into her room.
"Mom, I know you have something to ask me, but I didn’t expect you to be in such a hurry?"
"If I don’t get it clear tonight, I won’t be able to sleep all night!"
"Alright, alright! Ask away~"
"Xiaokai, tell me, when did you start learning Martial Arts?" From the moves that Xiaokai had just used, they were clearly formal Martial Arts. "Who taught you? Why did you learn it? How e I didn’t know about it?" Jian Dan asked all the questions that were in her heart in one breath.
"How am I supposed to answer with so many questions all at once?"
"One by one!"
"Okay! I’ve been learning Martial Arts for almost a year now. As for who taught me, you should ask Chu Liyuan. He’s the one who found the teacher for me. And the reason you didn’t know can only mean that Mom’s heart is too carefree, so you didn’t find out. As for why I wanted to learn..." A trace of sadness flashed in Xiaokai’s eyes, "Because I don’t want what happened last time to happen again!"
"Last time?"
"That’s right, I don’t want to be Mom’s weakness; I want to be the person who protects Mom."
Xiaokai learned Martial Arts for her?
Jian Dan felt her eyes getting a bit wet.
"Hey, Mom, don’t cry, okay? It’s not my intention to make you cry," Jian Xiaokai said nervously, seeing Jian Dan’s reddening eyes.
"Xiaokai~" Jian Dan hugged Jian Xiaokai into her arms.
Ever since he was little, Jian Xiaokai had been a very sensible child. Back when she was on her own, even though she said she was taking care of two children, most of the time it was Jian Xiaokai who looked after both of them.
"Suddenly getting so emotional, I can’t take it! If you feel really touched, why don’t you talk to Chu Liyuan and let him know not to charge me for the cost of this trip, how about that?"
"No way!"
"Why? Your husband is so rich!"
"I can spend my husband’s money any time I want, but spending my son’s money is a rare opportunity I can’t miss. Besides, when you grow up, I won’t have this chance anymore because you’ll be spending all your money on your wife."
A moment passed and three black lines appeared on Jian Xiaokai’s forehead. "Don’t worry, even if I have a wife in the future, I won’t forget about my old mom!"
"Really? You truly are my good son!" Jian Dan hugged Jian Xiaokai and gave him a big kiss on his face.
"Ah, that’s enough, Mom~" Jian Xiaokai struggled free from Jian Dan’s embrace, wiping the spot she had just kissed, "I’m going to sleep!" With that, he turned and headed to his room...
But what Jian Dan didn’t see was the corner of Jian Xiaokai’s mouth curving up into a smile as he turned his head.
