They rushed upstairs and burst into Chu Lingzhi's room.
By the bed, Nangong Yehen sat there watching over her.
The two little ones were startled to see him sitting by the bed keeping vigil over Chu Lingzhi.
Was this cold-hearted Nangong Yehen actually worried about Mommy?
"Daddy..." Chu Junyu and Nangong Yichen walked in. He looked at Chu Lingzhi and asked, "Is Mommy badly hurt?"
Nangong Yichen's gaze fixed on Chu Lingzhi's face. Seeing her pale, bloodless complexion, his eyes turned several degrees colder.
"Mild concussion," Nangong Yehen said.
Chu Junyu's sharp eyes caught sight of the pool of blood on the floor, and his handsome face instantly turned cold.
That blood had come from his mommy.
Chu Junyu's small fists clenched tightly. That damned woman dared to hurt his mommy!
Nangong Yichen also saw the bloodstain. When his cold eyes caught sight of it, a flash of murderous intent quickly flickered in his gaze.
"Daddy, your estate isn't safe at all," Chu Junyu looked up, casting a reproachful glance at Nangong Yehen. "You didn't protect my mommy well. I don't like you anymore."
Hearing that he didn't like him, Nangong Yehen's heart tightened. He quickly crouched down, pressing his hands on Chu Junyu's small shoulders, looking at him urgently.
"Not protecting Mommy was Daddy's fault. I didn't know this would happen. Don't stop liking Daddy, okay?"
Chu Junyu pouted. Seeing the cautiousness in his eyes, he decided to forgive him.
"Mommy has been hit before, but she's never been knocked unconscious at home. Daddy, you have so many bodyguards inside and outside your estate, yet they couldn't protect my mommy."
"I'm sorry..." Nangong Yehen touched his little face, his tone sincere. "From now on, Daddy will protect Mommy and you two well."
Nangong Yehen pulled Nangong Yichen over, his gaze shifting between their faces. "You are the most important people to me. I won't let you get hurt again."
Nangong Yichen snorted coldly, his tone arrogant and proud, "Just protect your woman well. I don't need your protection. I can protect myself."
"Little old man, can't you drop your arrogance and coldness at a time like this?" Chu Junyu frowned, displeased as he looked at Nangong Yichen.
How could he have a brother like this?
Nangong Yehen raised an eyebrow, curled his lips, and patted his little face with his big hand, laughing, "It's good that you don't need my protection. Being able to protect yourself proves that my son Nangong Yehen is strong."
Nangong Yichen moved his head, annoyed, "Don't pat my face!"
Then he looked at Chu Lingzhi. "Did the doctor say when she'll wake up?"
"A few hours..." But several hours had passed, and she still hadn't woken up.
"Beaten like this by a woman, sigh..." Chu Junyu looked at Chu Lingzhi, shaking his head with a sigh.
"Which woman hit her?" Nangong Yichen asked coldly.
Nangong Yehen didn't answer him but said, "I definitely won't let her off. You don't need to worry too much."
"Daddy, have you been watching over my mommy the whole time?" Chu Junyu looked up, his eyes clear and pure as he gazed at him.
Nangong Yehen nodded. "Mm."
Chu Junyu curled the corner of his mouth. "Your performance isn't too bad."
"..."
"Daddy, now that Mommy's hurt, are you worried?"
"Would I be sitting here if I weren't worried?" He was also hoping she'd wake up soon.
Seeing her lying here unconscious made him feel terrible.
"Are you starting to like Mommy?"
