Chapter 134 - Nice Way Of Saying This

Sheathed, in the rich golden brilliance of the rising sun, Li Na walked out into the backyard garden, she sorely felt serene and quiet under the open sky. At that high altitude, the feeling of cool breeze coherently tousling her hairs as well as her wounds prickles against the gentle force as she walked watching pointedly them. Suddenly, Li Na came to an abrupt halt when she saw Little Tiger turned away from her. Seemingly, upset to see her following them.

Lu Jianjun was a little way ahead, walking at a gradual pace among the flowering bushes and trees as he was tenderly giving small talks to the absent-minded Little Tiger. The boy continued to watch the sprinkler spraying water on the moist field of grass and array of lovely flowers disregarding everything else. Lu Jianjun stopped near the rails at the end of the mounted cliff of the garden. 

Li Na stood there at a distance while struggling to decide whether or not to approach them when Lu Jianjun said something and Little Tiger suddenly looked at his father single-mindedly focusing on whatever he's been told. Moments passed as Little Tiger sometimes nodded and shook his head in agreeing and denying what Lu Jianjun was telling him while he was vigorously involved in listening, Li Na turned around to give them some privacy and space.

"Li Na," She stopped stagnant on hearing a throaty male voice that called upon her from behind. Lu Jianjun gave her a nod as if asking her to join them. Li Na's vision shifted on Little Tiger and the boy smiled towards her.

She slowly walked to the cliff and came to stand beside the rails. She looked up to Little Tiger's modified expressions. She then looked at Lu Jianjun in amazement, now dying to know what magic words have he spoke to bring the boy to normalcy so swiftly.

Tears of relief blurred her vision, Little Tiger is fine. But she felt a jolt at the sight of his tender face." You're ok? You have scared me. What happened...why do you shut me like this," she asked desperately, as she kissed the back of his hand lovingly. 

Little Tiger didn't answer and continued to stare at her, Li Na felt a small wave of dizziness defeat her to see Little Tiger numb and apathetic. She didn't like it at all. And then suddenly, in an action that turned her stiff with hysteria, Little Tiger spread his tiny arms towards her in a compassionate plea, and when she acknowledged back by bringing him into her embrace, Little Tiger instantly seized her in a crushing hug that drove the breath out of her body.

Amazed and caught totally unaware by this unexpected moment, she stood immobilized, her chin resting on his tiny soft yet firm shoulders, feeling emotionally paralyzed to ever get separated from him.

"Baby..." she whispered, with an involuntarily trembling voice, striving to make a lease of understanding between them. But at the sound of his mention from her, he only tightened his embrace further, as if he was afraid and tired of... losing her over and again. He wondered why can't he have her safe and harmless always by his side. Why can't this strange outside world leave her alone... as he doesn't know their ways of working...why were they hounding her like this. Every time she stepped out of the house and he had to be away from her, she had returned injured or by getting impaired both ways, mentally and physically. His love and care for her have grown up to grab the expressions of fear and anger whenever he discovers her painful situation out of his control to redeem her. 

The intensity of the grasped startled her, and still, she didn't try to disentangle herself, sensing the necessity of giving him the trust and ȧssurance that he will never lose her. She'll always remain by his side no matter what.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-mysterious-love._13271529106326605/nice-way-of-saying-this_52029804618250460">#&apos;s-mysterious-love._13271529106326605/nice-way-of-saying-this_52029804618250460</a> for visiting.

Then Little Tiger murmured something, though the words were muzzled. She only could figure out a couple of words...Li Na expectantly glanced at Lu Jianjun. The silently gazing man smiled lightly as he calmly translated it for her, "He's making a promise to you," Speechless and curious of what kind, Li Na's amusing eyes widened as she waited eagerly for Little Tiger to speak his heart and mind before her.

After a timeless moment, he loosened up his hold slightly and drew back a little. He looked up at that lovely face, which he found to be the most beautiful one. His eyes set on the faint red mark of a bruise on her forehead...he inspected it closely and couldn't stop himself from slowly blowing the gentle air to soothe the pain. He exactly emulated Butler Wu and Lu Jianjun's actions wherever he got a cut and the old man would blow air on it before tending the injury. Little Tiger wanted to touch it, but he knew the sėnsɨtɨvė pain of touching so he didn't dare. He again muttered something, this time looking straight into her eyes. 

The subtle sigh that went through her at the fuzzy words in his muffling sweet voice melted Li Na's heart this time she doesn't need to listen to know it from Lu Jianjun she had understood Little Tiger's intent very well.

"If you can not only protect me when you grow up but I'm only letting you to protect me now," Li Na said softly.

Like a babe in the woods, perplexed, Little Tiger couldn't unravel the implication as of considering ways how could he protect her at this little age when he absolutely depends on his father.

"You might not know it yet but you protect me from yesterday's sadness...today's sorrows and tribulation of tomorrow. Your presence is enough to give me hope and light in the darkness." Li Na confessed and smiled seeing the immense shock in his features.

With the conflicting emotion flashing through him, Little Tiger closed his eyes wanting to believe her blindly but somewhere a defensive part of him doesn't allow him to. Though a flame was lit inside to keep it alive he embraced her again and stayed quietly relishing the precious moment. 

Uncertain if she was accepted wholly Li Na tightened her arms around the fragile one. She knows it's easy to establish novel trust than to mend the broken one. But she's ready to give whatever it takes to reform in Little Tiger. 

A little while later, Butler Wu was called by Lu Jianjun as he told the old man to take the worn-out boy and let him rest. As Li Na hand over the silent boy with an endearing twinge of unwillingness to Butler Wu that drove away the fear and doubts Little Tiger had of having ridiculously underestimated the intensity of her feelings disappeared immediately. The wounded little cub felt his scars healing under the care of his mother and father's comfort as Lu Jianjun tousled the boy's soft hairs telling him to be good cause no matter what he'll make his all wishes true. With elevated spirits, Little Tiger went into the comfort of his sweet home.

"How did you do that?" Li Na asked speedily, turning to face the man beside her.

" I did...what?" he said impassively.

"I meant to ask you, what magic words you said to Little Tiger that he...."

"Oh...that thing," he cut in smoothly and a frown etched on his forehead, "I don't think I should tell you," 

"And why is that?" Li Na viciously glared at him.

"I might lose the little importance I have leftover with you and him," he stated gravely.

"Really! Is this your nice way of saying that I'm taking monopoly over our kid?" Li Na enquired with outwardly teasing tenor and Lu Jianjun's expressions turned gravely serious as if he couldn't deny the fact she had articulated out of his worry.
