Song Yu Han thought he had held back too much for the past three years. He wasn't usually like this and only tried to lessen the darkness that wrapped around him like a cloak after he met Ran Xueyi.
He didn't think that she could take it. Her soft heart might not be able to handle his dark side that was chained to his pasts. That was also the reason why he hadn't revealed as much to her.
However, tonight's event broke that chain.
"Take him to the mining team in City D," he ordered nonchalantly after wiping his hands.
Mr. Wang Linkai has heard of this mining team. He couldn't help but shudder because that place was where some of the people who went against Song Yu Han were taken. No one knows exactly what was going on past the gates that were erected on that huge plot of land since only those who were thrown or permitted to enter that place saw what kind of hell happened there.
But Mr. Wang Linkai had been there. Well, at least, he had been standing in front of the gate, but it was enough to hear the screams of help and desperate calls for someone to take them away.
"Young master, the Lan family might not agree to send Mr. Lan there."
Song Yu Han turned his head to him and stared at him.
"Let them choose what to do with them then," suddenly he said.
"Choose either to send him to City D or bury him alive."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSong Yu Han's lips were lifted as he added, "I don't mind doing both."
Mr. Wang Linkai shuddered and kept his mouth shut. Who could possibly get away from the young master's grasp? Once Song Yu Han decides on something, he never lets anything or anyone change his mind.
Will the Lan family even be able to stop him if he wanted to bury Mr. Lan alive?
Thinking about the rumor that spread across the Underworld where Song Yu Han had buried all his enemies alive, with the exception of those who were sent to City D; it was safe to say that Song Yu Han cannot be stopped.
Thankfully, Mr. Wang Linkai did great in choosing the young master's side.
...
Inside the other room, Ran Xueyi and Little Zhanzhan are served by the maids as if they were the real owners of the mansion.
Two maids were in the same room to take care of their needs and wants, and a tray of desserts and tea was also served for them.
"A'Yu's late."
Little Zhanzhan glanced for the fifth time towards the closed door. He dipped the cookie in his hand into a cup of warm chocolate drink and took a small bite from it.
His eyes went bright from the sweetness and tastiness of the cookie and drink.
Ran Xueyi looked at the crumbs that fell on her lap as her son sat there and said, "Your daddy will be back soon. He just has something to take care of."
She took a slight pause before asking, "Zhanzhan... were you scared just now?"
Little Zhanzhan shook his head, "Nope!"
"Really?" Ran Xueyi did not believe him. Someone tried to touch him, is he really not afraid?
Little Zhanzhan nodded, "Really! Mommy doesn't have to worry! Zhanzhan ish not hurt."
Ran Xueyi knew he wasn't hurt because a bodyguard stepped in before that middle-aged man stepped forward.
Earlier, she was preoccupied with the thoughts of her grandfather and didn't notice that someone had tried to approach Little Zhanzhan. It would have been alright if he was approached with good intentions, but Song Yu Han recognized the person and instantly jumped from the balcony.
It scared her a lot because she couldn't understand why he jumped. Then, she heard that Mr. Lan was someone who was kind and amiable on the surface, but had a sickening hobby of targeting and observing children like a doll or toy.
When she heard that, Ran Xueyi could not delay it anymore and followed Song Yu Han to the fountain side.
"Zhanzhan, next time when someone wants to touch you, don't let them do it, okay?"
"Why?"
"Because... their hands are dirty. You should avoid anybody touching you." Ran Xueyi became worried again. In the future, when she makes an official announcement for Little Zhanzhan's first appearance, a lot of people will surely try to get their hands on him.
Was it really alright to let him out in this messy world?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRan Xueyi felt guilty for thinking of keeping her son away from the world. Her overprotectiveness towards her son might become a shackle that would restrain him from getting freedom.
She didn't want him to experience the feeling of being caged like what she experienced before.
Little Zhanzhan finished the cookie in his hand. He patted his mother's cheek with both hands and smiled, "Don't worry mommy, I don't like being touched by others too!"
He only liked his mommy, A'Yu, brother Yun, and auntie Yiling to touch him. Little Zhanzhan had long hated being touched by other people, he just didn't show it nor expressed it because he didn't want to worry his mother.
After half an hour, Song Yu Han finally appeared inside the room they were in together with Mr. Wang Linkai.
Song Yu Han saw Ran Xueyi sitting on the sofa with Little Zhanzhan's head lying on top of her lap.
"Sorry, I made you wait too long," he apologized and gently moved Little Zhanzhan's body from her and let him lie his head on his lap instead.
Ran Xueyi whispered a thank you to him. She couldn't feel her legs anymore but couldn't move because Little Zhanzhan was asleep. Song Yu Han's quick action saved her legs.
Song Yu Han chuckled, "You should exercise more then you won't feel numb on your legs next time."
"You say that because you can't feel what my legs are feeling... My two legs had enough being tortured by you and Zhanzhan," Ran Xueyi complained to him.
The father tortured her back, waist, and legs in bed while on the other hand, the son tortured her legs.
The most important thing was they both didn't show any conscience even if they found out!
"Umm..."
"Huh?" Ran Xueyi glanced at Mr. Wang Linkai and became flustered. She thought he had already left.
Mr. Wang Linkai also didn't think that he would witness someone talking informally and casually towards Song Yu Han.
The tone that the woman used was bizarre. Isn't she scared of being punished by the young master? Oh wait, he forgot. She's the young master's lover, he should be able to tolerate her this much.
