Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Get as far away as possible.

This woman is poisonous at heart and must not be allowed near the madam.

Xu Xingguang said, ”That’s a real pity. I was hoping to check on Little Madam’s health.”

Huo Canghai paused when he heard this.

He turned around, eyed Xu Xingguang suspiciously, and asked her, ”What did you say?”

Huo Wen’an answered for Xu Xingguang, ”Xingguang heard that Little Madam is mentally unstable, and wanted to check on her. But since you’re so unwelcoming, we won’t go.”

Huo Canghai’s expression changed several times. Finally, he said quite unnaturally, ”The Moon Palace is very quiet. It could use some liveliness. If you want to come, then come.”

Huo Canghai then said to Huo Wen’an, ”You should go too. Your Little Madam hasn’t met you yet.”

Nodding, Xu Xingguang smiled sweetly and charmingly, ”Then I’ll go over with Brother A Zui tomorrow morning.”

Huo Canghai gave them both a deep look, hurriedly had Uncle Chun push his wheelchair out of the manor. As he passed under the city gate, Huo Canghai furiously raised his cane and struck the gate a few times.

Uncle Chun heard the racket and didn’t dare to make a sound.

After getting into the car, Huo Canghai unexpectedly laughed, ”Good kid, he’s got more spine than his useless father.” Who knows how Huo Yunsheng, that bastard, managed to have a son like Huo Wen’an.

But recalling the things Huo Yunsheng had said earlier, Huo Canghai felt suffocated with anger again.

Uncle Chun keenly sensed Huo Canghai’s change in mood and quickly found a topic to distract him.

Thinking of how the Old Helmsman is most concerned about the madam, Uncle Chun said, ”When the madam sees young children, she easily gets agitated. Tomorrow, when the madam sees the Young Helmsman and Miss Xu, her condition might worsen.”

Huo Canghai’s attention was indeed diverted.

He suddenly mused, ”Xiao Chun, I’m already 92 years old. I can’t accompany her for many more years.”

Uncle Chun’s expression slightly changed, and he quickly said, ”Pilot, you are still very robust.”

Whether his health was good or not, Huo Canghai knew well himself.

He said worriedly, ”Whether her condition is good or bad, I’m not at ease. Xu Xingguang, that girl, is ruthless but indeed skilled in medicine. If she can cure Andariel’s illness, I could die in peace.”

Huo Canghai leaned against the chair back, closed his eyes, and murmured softly, ”Andariel could have lived a different life. I forcibly dragged her into mine, causing her to suffer the pain of losing a child. I’ve wronged her.”

Uncle Chun felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this.

”What Mister said earlier were all nonsense. He deliberately wanted to upset you. We all see how you treat the madam, and the madam herself can feel it. Love is not something to be judged by others but felt by oneself.”

”Mister is immature, Old Helmsman, don’t take her words to heart.”

Huo Canghai was not comforted.

He twirled his cane and suddenly said, ”That child named Song Chi, if he really is Huo Yunsheng’s illegitimate son, then the massacre video the Rashomon Sect Leader sent me back then is highly likely forged.”

”Xiao Chun, do you think Lan Yue could still be alive?”

Uncle Chun didn’t dare to answer.

He feared giving the Old Helmsman hope only to lead to even greater despair.

”Don’t let the madam know about Song Chi.” Huo Canghai was afraid Andariel would be upset.

”Xiao Chun will remember.”

.

After all the commotion, the meal was left uneaten, and everyone was offended.

After everyone had left, Uncle Xia stood in the hall nervously, asking Huo Wen’an, ”Pilot, shall we still have the meal?” He thought today’s lunch would be a joyful gathering; the chefs had prepared a large table of dishes.

But now, everyone had been offended, and no one ate the dishes.

”Yes.”

With so much food, Xu Xingguang felt it would be wasteful for only her and Huo Wen’an to eat, so she suggested, ”Zheng Lie and Cheng Yue worked hard today too. Why don’t we set aside some dishes for them, and send the rest to them so we don’t waste them?”

”Whatever you say.”

Thus, Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang stayed in the garden restaurant eating small portions, while Cheng Yue and others ate large portions in the main dining hall, making it quite lively.

After the meal, Xu Xingguang pushed Huo Wen’an through the racetrack in the back hill, strolling along the sea-view boardwalk on the hill. Huo Wuyi accompanied them. Huo Wuyi carried a bag on his back, which contained Huo Wen’an’s warm water bottle and Huo Wuyi’s water flask.

Watching Huo Wuyi’s swaying backside, Xu Xingguang couldn’t help but lift her foot and kick his behind with the sole of her sandal.
