Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

He closed his eyes, murmuring sadly, ”It’s not that my parents don’t love me, they just lost me.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang felt both relieved and a little distressed. This poor child, with just a little bit of love, thought he was a happy kid.

Too pitiful, she had to kiss him a few more times to let him fully feel the affection of a fiancée.

Beside the azalea bushes, hidden under the dim light, Jiang Heng stared venomously at the shameless couple. He clenched his fists, muttering under his breath, ”Already sitting in a wheelchair and still not behaving!”

Under the light, Xu Xingguang held Huo Wen’an’s chin, kissing him even more suggestively.

Jiang Heng frowned frequently as he watched.

Only when her breathing became uncomfortable did Xu Xingguang finally release Huo Wen’an. She tapped Huo Wen’an’s chin and said, ”Get better soon, I can hardly wait anymore.”

Huo Wen’an’s breath caught, once again cursing his useless body.

At this moment, Zheng Lie finally drove the car over.

After the two of them got in the car and left, Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment before stepping out from the shadows.

He stared at the red-glowing surveillance camera in front of the Moon Palace and said to the camera, ”I am Jiang Heng, the adopted son of Jiang Mantian from West Continent City, and I wish to visit the Old Helmsman.”

Soon, Uncle Chun received a call from the Moon Palace security department.

Learning that a young man named Jiang Heng wanted to meet the Old Helmsman, Uncle Chun thought for a moment before reporting it to the Old Helmsman. ”Sir, a young man named Jiang Heng is outside the palace, wishing to see you.”

”Jiang Heng.” Huo Canghai closed his eyes and sneered, ”Let him in!”

The doors of the Moon Palace opened, and Uncle Chun, accompanied by two sturdy bodyguards, personally came to welcome Jiang Heng. ”Mr. Jiang Heng, please follow us inside.”

Jiang Heng looked warily at the bodyguards behind Uncle Chun; their expressions were somber and their gazes sharp like an eagle’s. Jiang Heng felt he might not withstand a single kick from them.

Steadying his nerves, Jiang Heng still followed them into the Moon Palace.

Jiang Heng was taken to the Rose Garden of the Moon Palace, where he immediately recognized the woman’s identity standing next to Huo Canghai.

It was Belial!

Belial was dressed in an off-white suit; she and Jiang Heng shared the same hair color, a light brown. She had her hair tied back, wearing a steward hat and a pair of pearl earrings.

Having been alongside Andariel for many years, Belial lived a life of luxury; she appeared to be at most forty years old.

That was his mother.

Jiang Heng stared at Belial, and suddenly, fragments of memories burst into his mind, all featuring Belial. But the Belial in his memories was younger than now, always wearing light-colored dresses, standing gracefully and elegantly beside another woman.

Jiang Heng couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Lady Daphne?”

Upon hearing the name Lady Daphne, Belial finally raised her head to look at Jiang Heng.

The look in her eyes was extremely complex.

It was more like looking at an enemy than at a son, as if he was the culprit who dragged her into an abyss.

Jiang Heng had long since forgotten his childhood memories, but the look in Belial’s eyes instantly pulled him back to his childhood.

At a very young age, Jiang Heng already knew that his mother did not like him.

His mother would not allow him to call her mom and made him address her as ’Lady Daphne’ respectfully every time. In contrast, the beautiful lady beside his mother always looked at him with a smile, giving him candy, and buying him clothes and toys.

Compared to Belial, Andariel was more like Jiang Heng’s mother.
