Chapter 446: Chapter 446: I Want to Protect You

Qin Juan looked at him and smiled helplessly, "You really are... it’s not worth losing your life for such scum."

Jia Liang was dazzled by her smile, and his own smile broadened naively, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I was just trying to scare him; I didn’t expect him to be so easily frightened, even wetting himself."

Qin Juan looked down at the puddle of urine with disgust and quickly stepped over it.

Jia Liang saw her heading toward the Bun Shop and followed her along the road.

The early spring sunshine was always exceptionally bright, as tree branches had already burst into tender green buds. Bathed in the sunlight, they seemed full of vitality.

Everywhere was thriving, reflecting Jia Liang’s current mood.

He glanced at the woman walking a step away from him, squeezed his fist again and again, then took a deep breath before he finally spoke.

"Qin Juan, if you ever need anything in the future, just tell me. I... I want to protect you."

Qin Juan paused briefly in her steps, then continued walking.

"Let’s hurry back, there’s still a lot to deal with at the shop. The accounts from the foreign trade side shouldn’t be difficult to settle. I won’t accompany you. I haven’t been at the shop these last few days and left the front desk work to Lele, she has enough on her plate."

Jia Liang’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he eventually agreed, "Alright, let’s do that."

......

The news that Zhang Wenbin came to the city still reached Lin Chuxia’s ears.

In the afternoon, after school, Lin Chuxia personally drove her jeep to the school gate to pick up Ningning.

Seeing Lin Chuxia arrive, Qin Juan knew that she was aware of the issue with Zhang Wenbin.

"It’s not a big deal. Jia Liang arrived in time and gave him a beating. I heard that the guy has already left. I know Zhang Wenbin too well; he only acts tough inside his own hole. Actually, he’s quite cowardly."

Qin Juan spoke lightly, but Lin Chuxia had learnt about the whole situation from Jia Liang earlier.

It had been almost half a year since the divorce, and Zhang Wenbin had not paid any attention to the child. His effort to show up now clearly meant no good.

Even from Jia Liang’s brief words, she could sense the danger of the situation.

But now that Qin Juan seemed emotionally stable, Lin Chuxia was also relieved.

She picked up the mother and daughter and got them into the car.

The shop had received some fresh and juicy chives today. Lin Chuxia took some home, planning to make pork and chive dumplings for dinner.

Eating pork and chive dumplings at this time of year was truly delightful.

Back home, Ningning happily saw Yuan Bao and began running around in the yard with the pet, chattering away.

Qin Juan couldn’t help but feel a wave of gratitude inside. This time, they really owed Jia Liang.

Yesterday, Ningning was frightened and even had nightmares at night. If that man had insisted on causing trouble, who knows how they would have coped in the future.

Lin Chuxia picked up Ningning today also out of fear that the child might have been traumatized. Now, seeing her playing happily with Yuan Bao in the yard, she was finally able to relax.

She then noticed Qin Juan’s wistful expression.

There was something she had suspected before, and after meeting with Jia Liang today, she felt even more sure about it.

While making dumplings, taking advantage of no one else being around, Lin Chuxia brought it up.

"Sister, actually I think Jia Liang..."

"Sister-in-law," Lin Chuxia hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Juan interrupted her.

She knew what her sister-in-law wanted to say.
