Chapter 276: The Kids

Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao were on their way to the village committee. Many children were playing around.
Gong Tianhao was afraid that these children would suddenly appear and clash with Xiao Lingyu, so he protected her carefully.
Xiao Lingyu saw this and felt touched.
If they wanted the child in her womb, they could just grab it after she gave birth. She wouldn’t be able to resist their power. However, they had shown deep concern to the child’s mother too. Xiao Lingyu didn’t dare to think too much about it. She was afraid. She was truly afraid.
However, for a moment, she thought that it would be great if she could give Xiao Tong a complete family. However, Xiao Lingyu was self-aware. This was not a Cinderella Story. She wouldn’t be qualified to marry into the Gong Family.
On top of that, she had another important concern. After what she had been through with the Chen kid, Xiao Lingyu was afraid of commitment. Even her lover of ten years could turn on her like that, much less someone who had the status and money of Gong Tianhao? Assuming they did get together, could the man stay loyal to her? Would she remain his only woman?
She’d rather be single and alone if she had to live with a husband who had mistresses on the outside, something which was common for the rich and wealthy.
She didn’t want Xiao Tong to have a father like that. It would only hurt him. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu had to protect Xiao Tong and stay away from the man from the start. It was why she had been so frosty to Gong Tianhao. She didn’t want Xiao Tong to be harmed again.
“Yu ‘Er, Yu ‘Er…” Xiao Lingyu was too immersed in her thoughts to hear Gong Tianhao. Gong Tianhao frowned when he didn’t get any reaction.
His sharp senses noticed a few children running their way. Gong Tianhao tensed. One of his hands quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Lingyu’s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace. Then, he turned to shield Xiao Lingyu from the advancing army of children.
The children stopped before them. Their little faces looked at them curiously. ‘What are these two adults doing, hugging each other?’
A moment later, an older child asked in puzzlement, “Uncle, why are you hugging Sister Lingyu?”
Xiao Lingyu’s face quickly turned red. She finally snapped back to reality. She was so embarrassed. Xiao Lingyu gritted her teeth and shouted, “Let go of me!”
This was so embarrassing! They were seen hugging by a group of children. This man… took advantage of her!
The last time this happened was in front of a group of adults. Now, it was in front of a group of children. She could hear the rumors starting in the village again.
Gong Tianhao was also a little depressed. He saw that the children were charging their way. Afraid that they’d crash into Xiao Lingyu, he subconsciously shielded her.
Who knew the children would stop all of a sudden and look at them hugging with puzzled expressions instead.
How was he going to explain this?
Xiao Lingyu sounded like she was angry. But then again, Gong Tianhao had to admit it was nice hugging her. He was addicted to the feeling of having her in his arms ever since their first hug. If possible, he wanted to hold her in his arms for the rest of their lives together.
Gong Tianhao reluctantly let go of Xiao Lingyu. If one paid attention, the tips of his ears were red. It was rare for Gong Tianhao to be shy. However, Xiao Lingyu didn’t notice this. Neither did the children.
Xiao Linglin looked at Gong Tianhao and then at Xiao Lingyu. He asked curiously again, “Sister Lingyu, why was this uncle hugging you?”
The redness on Xiao Lingyu’s face, which was about to fade away, suddenly rose again. Then, she explained, “Linglin, I almost tripped earlier. This uncle pulled me to prevent me from falling. However, he pulled me too hard and pulled me into his arms. Remember, he didn’t hug me on purpose. He was just trying to save me.”
Xiao Linglin was the oldest of the children, but he was only eight years old. There were many things that he didn’t understand. However, he understood Xiao Lingyu’s explanation.
Xiao Linglin nodded and said, “Yes, Sister Lingyu, we understand now. This uncle saved you and hugged you, correct?”
The corners of Gong Tianhao’s lips curled up, and his mood was very happy. ‘These kids are too cute.’
Xiao Lingyu, “…” The more I explain, the more complicated it gets. What exactly have these kids understood from what I said?
Xiao Lingyu sighed a little dejectedly and said, “Sure, if you want to see it that way.” She was also confused. Why did she need to explain herself to a bunch of children? The youngest among them was five, and the oldest was eight. How would they understand anything? They were just confused because they saw a man suddenly hugging her on the road.
Xiao Lingyu said to them gloomily, “Alright, Linglin, you guys go and play. Be careful, don’t bump into anyone.”
“Okay then. Goodbye, Sister Lingyu!”
Gong Tianhao looked at these little kids running away happily. He then lowered his head to look at Xiao Lingyu’s stomach. ‘My child must be very cute too because his mother is also a very cute person.’
Xiao Lingyu watched as the children ran away. She smiled. Then, she turned her head and saw Gong Tianhao staring at her stomach with a burning gaze.
She was so frightened that she shivered. Her entire person became alert and vigilant.
She hugged her stomach and asked nervously, “What are you looking at?”
Gong Tianhao, “….”
