Song Yu Han did not know what Lu Che was doing. However, he suddenly had a chill running down his arms. He didn't think too much about it as he watched the mother and son pair swim in the swimming pool that Ran Xueyi requested to be built next to the sea.
Leaning against the edge of the pool as his lower body dipped into it, Song Yu Han saw Guo Yun approaching closer with a phone in his hand.
Guo Yun said as soon as he reached his side: "Brother Ma and Brother Hai asked if you are free tomorrow. It seems that the failed assassination towards Ran Xueyi has spread to the White Snake Troupe. They want to know when they can take part."
Song Yu Han frowned: "Who spread it around?"
Guo Yun scratched his nose and looked away: "Ahem, it's definitely not me."
Song Yu Han sternly stared at him until Guo Yun fearfully said: "Alright, don't be angry. It's my fault. But you can't blame all of it on me. White Snake is already chasing my butt and you and the Madam's are running around. Where am I supposed to pour all of my complaints to?"
"So, you revealed to them that there was an assassin and now, they can't sit back calmly and want to join in the fun?" Song Yu Han said in a voice that wasn't too loud.
Guo Yun thought he had already done something that made him angry so he dared to say: "That's right. Besides, you've been planning on how to deal with both the Song and Cao family. Isn't it time already?"
Several years had already passed and Song Yu Han worked so hard to get to where he is right now in order to bring down the two families that made him and his mother live a life that couldn't even be called living.
White Snake Troupe were not only composed of people who were talented in killing, they also had a grudge against the Song and Cao family. Of course, they swore their allegiance towards Song Yu Han because they thought that he was the only one who could make their desires come true.
On the other hand, Guo Yun didn't hold any grudges against the two families, but he had already promised to help Song Yu Han. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed beside him for so many years even after knowing that Song Yu Han had so many enemies flanking his sides.
Even though Song Yu Han thought that Guo Yun was right, he could not jump straight into action. It was not that he wasn't prepared or anything like that. He just didn't want any surprises.
Moreover, he didn't want to wrong both Ran Xueyi and Song Zhan.
Song Yu Han stared at the pair playing in front of him.
If it were in the past, he might agree with Guo Yun and really deal with the Cao and Song family. But he didn't want to put Ran Xueyi and Song Zhan in danger. Even more so now that the Cao family has set their eyes on Ran Xueyi.
Guo Yun saw where he was looking and said, "You're worried about them? It's okay to be concerned, but you should know that the longer the Cao and Song family run about, the more Ran Xueyi and Little Zhanzhan will be in danger."
"In any case, you have the final say so think about it carefully. Though, I did suggest accelerating the plan, but I also don't want to pull them to the frontlines."
After saying this, Guo Yun walked away with his phone.
At this time, Ran Xueyi was not only playing with her son, but also observing the other two at the edge of the pool from the corners of her eyes.
She could tell that Song Yu Han's mood was not right so she told Little Zhanzhan to chase after Guo Yun as she swam towards him.
"What's wrong? Did something bad happen?" asked Ran Xueyi.
Song Yu Han shook his head and replied, "No. It's just a bunch of impatient idiots who wants me to move."
Ran Xueyi tilted her head, confused. "Oh."
Song Yu Han pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly as he complained: "Your husband is so timid and weak that everyone wants to bully him. Wife, what should I do? I'm scared."
She could already tell that he was bluffing. She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry, but Ran Xueyi still had the heart to pamper her 'timid' husband and patted his head: "Husband, I'm here. Don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"
"Wuu~ Wife is so strong!"
Ran Xueyi sighed and pulled away enough that she could see his face and suddenly asked, "Did you sneak and read my books again?"
Song Yu Han blinked and smiled: "What books? Did you bring your books with you?"
Ran Xueyi: "..."
Ran Xueyi did not bring her book to the villa, but she had an electronic version in her tablet. Song Yu Han should have seen it and read a particular novel about a valiant wife protecting her timid husband.
Otherwise, he wouldn't pretend to act in such a way that would make people want to cringe if he didn't read it.
Song Yu Han forbade her to read those books because of how unrealistic and exaggerated the stories could turn, but she still sneakily read them when he's not looking.
Now, she regretted letting him find out her tastes in books because he would always tease her and sometimes, reenact some of the scenes with her to the point that she never wanted to open those books anymore!
The next morning, Ran Xueyi was awakened by Song Yu Han after he tossed her all night to 'reenact' the scenes he read once again.
"Mommy!" Little Zhanzhan also rushed into their room, looking aggrieved.
Ran Xueyi groggily sat up and watched her son bury his head in her arms. She pinched his cheeks and said, "What's wrong?"
Little Zhanzhan pouted and blinked his eyes: "Mommy, you promised to sleep with me last night. But when I opened my eyes, Brother Yun was sleeping next to me!"
Ah… Ran Xueyi then remembered that ever since Little Zhanzhan arrived in the villa, he would stay in their room and sleep in between her and Song Yu Han.
But last night, just after Little Zhanzhan fell asleep, who would have thought that Song Yu Han would carry him and put him to sleep in Guo Yun's room.
Thus, the reason why Little Zhanzhan felt that his father was so hateful!
Bad Stinky A'Yu!
Little Zhanzhan continued to complain: "Mommy, let's have Stinky A'Yu stay in Brother Yun's bedroom tonight."
Ran Xueyi: "Well, you and your daddy can stay with me."
Little Zhanzhan: "No!"
Ran Xueyi was stunned: "Why not?"
Little Zhanzhan sat up and crossed his arms in front of his chest as he indignantly said: "A'Yu can't be trusted. He makes mommy cry all night. And… and… look at those marks. Did A'Yu hurt mommy?"
Ran Xueyi had stayed up too late last night and woke up early. So she was still a little bit confused when Little Zhanzhan arrived. Hence, she was unable to cover the kiss and bite marks that Song Yu Han left on her neck and collarbones.
Actually, the marks on her neck and shoulders weren't as many as the marks he left below.
But still, she could not help but heat up and turn bright red when she heard her son mention this!
At this time, Song Yu Han finished washing up and came out from the bathroom and saw them on the bed.
Little Zhanzhan noticed him and immediately threw himself to his mother as if he was trying to defend her from a big bad wolf.
Seeing the little wolf cub stick to his mother like this, Song Yu Han moved his gaze towards Ran Xueyi as if he was asking 'What happened?'
Ran Xueyi shot him a reply with her eyes, 'You talk to him.'
Little Zhanzhan did not see the exchange in his parents' eyes as he glared at Song Yu Han and said: "Stinky A'Yu! Don't hurt and make Mommy cry!"
Song Yu Han: "...Oh."
Ran Xueyi: "..."
His lack of reaction made Little Zhanzhan blow up even more as he said: "I will sleep with Mommy from now on. You… A'Yu can sleep with Brother Yun!"
Ran Xueyi was even more speechless: "..."
Sleep with who?!
Song Yu Han was in between laughter and anger when he heard his son speak. But he kept a smile on his lips as he responded with a shrug, "Your Mommy doesn't seem to agree though?"
Little Zhanzhan glanced up at his mother and saw nothing out of the ordinary from her face aside from the way her lips were shaking.
Assuming that she was holding back, Little Zhanzhan snorted: "Mommy is just scared you will bite her again so she won't say it. Anyway, you will stay with Brother Yun from now on!"
"She's scared I will bite?" Song Yu Han was interested in how his son's mind worked. But he could not allow this to continue as he think that Little Zhanzhan would really convince his wife.
Song Yu Han: "Don't say anymore. You only see the bites on Mommy, how can you be biased?"
Little Zhanzhan frowned when he heard this.
As for Ran Xueyi, a bad premonition came rushing into her mind.
As she had expected, Song Yu Han proudly untied his robe and showed the marks she left on his upper body to their son.
