3377 Protect Upon hearing those words, Sima Lan’s face paled. When she saw her child’s angry expression as he hugged Feng Jiu tightly, she felt a tightness in her heart, like someone was slicing into her heart. The pain was so unbearable that she was unable to breathe. “Hao’er, you can’t behave this way.” Feng Jiu sighed softly. She looked at the pale-faced Sima Lan and apologised: “Don’t worry, it’s only because he can’t accept the news at the moment.” “I know, I understand.” Sima Lan said, then she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: “I didn’t come to take him away, I just wanted to see him and see if he was doing well.” Hao’er lips pursed tightly and he looked at her sullenly when he heard her words: “I want to stay with my Father and Mother, I don’t want to go with you.” “We are not anybody, we are your birth parents.” Black Tortoise Monarch sighed when he saw that their son refused to acknowledge them. His heart filled with sorrow. So what if they were his birth parents? He didn’t grow up by their side, of course they were like strangers to him. Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at the couple, then he looked at Hao’er. When he saw the little guy hugging Feng Jiu so tightly, like he was afraid of being taken away, he said immediately: “Hao’er, they came here specially to see you. No matter what, you should still greet them.” Upon hearing his Father’s words, Hao’er pursed his lips, then he looked at the couple, and finally at his Mother. “They are your birth parents, you have to greet them.” Feng Jiu said softly and stroked his head with one hand. On seeing this, Hao’er walked away from Feng Jiu and walked towards Black Tortoise Monarch and his wife. When he was in front of them, he greeted them respectfully saying: “Hao’er greets Father and Mother.” He didn’t want to call them as affectionately as he did with his parents, his parents were here, and his parents were unique! When Black Tortoise Monarch and his wife saw that their son had knelt down and bowed to them, they couldn’t help but were moved and helped him up quickly: “What a good child.” “Hahahahaha, good good good!” Black Tortoise Monarch was overjoyed and laughed loudly. The couple hugged Hao’er. His little body was tense and he stood there in a state of bewilderment. Feng Jiu shook her head when she saw this, and she said to the couple: “Since the two of you have come today, why don’t you stay for a while?” This way, they could get to know Hao’er. “In that case, thank you for your hospitality.” The couple didn’t refuse. After all, they knew that such an opportunity was rare and if they wanted their child to accept them and get along with them, it was essential for them to spend time together. They chatted for a while, and although Hao’er was in Sima Lan’s arms, she was unable to resist Hao’er’s struggle. So, she let go and he returned to Feng Jiu’s arms. Feng Jiu asked Elder Mei to take them to rest, then together with Xuanyuan Mo Ze, they took Hao’er back to the main courtyard. On the way, Feng Jiu asked: “Hao’er, what do you think of them?” “Nothing much.” Hao’er said. He looked at her worriedly with his small lips pursed together: “Mother, don’t chase Hao’er away. Hao’er wants to stay with Father and Mother.” Feng Jiu rubbed his head with a smile upon hearing this and said: “Silly boy, how could Mother chase Hao’er away? Mother just hopes that there are more people to love and protect Hao’er. Hao’er will always be Mother’s precious son, Mother will not chase you away.”
