Chapter 237: Chapter 237: I Can Give You Everything They Have
"I won’t cry, my parents were heroes, they died in battle to protect our family and our people, that is glory."
Wen Xiao’ai said she wouldn’t cry, but she still couldn’t control herself.
She cried so hard in Jun Moyan’s embrace that her body shook with each sob; it was heartbreakingly sad.
Glory? This kind of glory, really, no one likes it, nobody wants it...
Wen Xiao’ai didn’t want to be labelled as the daughter of heroes either.
She just wanted her parents alive and well, to be cherished, pampered, and protected by them, just like everyone else.
Speaking of these things made Jun Moyan’s heart heavy too, but he wasn’t good at comforting others, so he could only hold her like that.
Before long, Wen Xiao’ai fell asleep in his arms as she cried.
After she was fast asleep, Jun Moyan let her go, stepped back, and created some distance between them.
Looking at her tear-stained little face, Jun Moyan’s eyes were filled with pity.
He reached out to brush the wet hair from her face and wiped away the tears.
His large palm caressed her face as he softly said, "Don’t be afraid, you still have me."
After Jun Moyan spoke, he brought her back into his embrace, "I can take care of you just the same, protect you just the same, cherish you just the same, whatever your little friends have, I can give you that too."
As the night deepened, the faint moonlight shone in, casting a cosy scene over the two of them sleeping in each other’s arms.
The next day, Jun Moyan thought Wen Xiao’ai might feel sad for a day or two after waking up, perhaps being emotional and insisting on going home, but unexpectedly, she acted as if she had forgotten about crying for her parents the night before, still lively and mischievous.
While helping her brush her teeth, she was playfully touching him, caressing his face, tugging at his ear, and sitting on the washstand, swinging her little legs happily, occasionally kicking him.
Indeed, she was just a child, never carrying worries in her heart.
But that was for the better, living without the weight of worries.
Otherwise, being able to live for hundreds or thousands of years like her, yet carrying as many worries in her heart as he did, that would be exhausting.
Jun Moyan picked up a towel, about to wash her face, but then stopped and handed it to her instead, "You haven’t learned how to brush your teeth, but you can wash your face, right?"
Wen Xiao’ai looked at the towel in front of her, placed both her hands behind her back, then shook her head, "No."
Jun Moyan smiled, stayed silent.
He placed one hand behind her head and laid the towel on her face, beginning to wash her face for her.
In the morning, after breakfast, Jun Moyan left for the company. Wen Xiao’ai initially wanted to follow, but when she heard Jun Moyan say he was only going to the company for a meeting, which would last three hours and would be very boring, she decided to stay at Wu Garden and watch cartoons.
Seeing Xiaocha bustling about in the living room, one moment asking if she wanted something to eat or drink, and the next busily cleaning, Wen Xiao’ai, with nothing better to do, thought to help her clean so that time would pass faster and she could see Moyan sooner.
But Xiaocha refused to let her help, almost to the point of red eyes. Wen Xiao’ai, feeling helpless, decided to wander outside the villa on her own.
Coming to the flower bed she had previously explored, Wen Xiao’ai suddenly remembered something important.
After looking around to see if anyone was there, she quickly ran into the flower bed and hid behind a tree.
Once she made sure no one was around, she flipped her right palm over and a dazzling purple light appeared in her hand.
Wen Xiao’ai closed her eyes, made a fist with her other hand with two fingers extended. As the purple light sparked on her fingertips, Wen Xiao’ai recited an incantation under her breath.
