572: Usurper!

Usurper!

Lu Hui replied, "Someone tried to assassinate the three kids, and Lu Cheng was severely injured while protecting them. He's still lying in the hospital, unconscious."1

Assassinate the three kids...

Suddenly, Shen Ruojing's heart sank. She asked directly, "Are the kids okay? And what about Chu Cichen?"

Chu Cichen must have had the ability to protect the three kids, otherwise, he would have informed her earlier. Besides, she just video-chatted with the three kids last night.

Lu Hui replied, "He is slightly injured, but he's okay. He's at home now."

"That's good then." Shen Ruojing breathed a sigh of relief.

She suddenly became eager to return home. Since she gave birth to the kids six years ago, she had been in retirement mode and rarely spent long periods of time away from them.

Soon, the car arrived at the Chu Manor, but Shen Ruojing did not let Lu Hui inside. She only got off at the gate and knocked on the large iron gate.

Since she left China and went to Country A, Chu Cichen had no reason to stay with the three kids in the Shen residence. Therefore, they moved back to their own home long ago.

The butler of the Chu family was delighted to see Shen Ruojing and immediately shouted, "Madam is back! Madam is back!" He then ran inside to report the good news.

Shen Ruojing chuckled and then walked inside. Before she even reached the living room, the three little ones already came running out. Chu Yu ran the fastest and was in the front.

Chu Tianye and Chu Xiaomeng followed behind.

"Bang!" Chu Yu crashed straight into Shen Ruojing's arms and looked up at her, saying, "Mommy, you're finally back! I miss you so much!"

Shen Ruojing rubbed his head.

At this moment, Chu Tianye brought Chu Xiaomeng over. Chu Tianye looked up at Shen Ruojing with shining eyes, like he had just seen a pot of gold. "Mommy, Daddy said you're the Crown Princess of Country A now? Will you inherit the throne in the future? Can you make me a little prince? Will a little prince have a lot of money?"

Shen Ruojing. "..."

Chu Xiaomeng also looked at her with shining eyes, holding her dinosaur plush in her hand. "So, am I a little princess? Can a little princess have a lot of rare martial arts? Will there be many books to read?"

Shen Ruojing. "..."

(These two children…one cares about money, and the other cares about books!)

(Well, it's still good that Chu Yu cares about himself!)

Shen Ruojing hugged the three children, touched their heads one by one, and took the opportunity to check their bodies. After confirming that they were okay, she put her mind at ease and looked toward the living room. "Where's your father?"

"Daddy is injured and is in the bedroom," Chu Tianye replied.

Shen Ruojing spoke up, "Let's go see him."

"Okay."

Shen Ruojing led the three little ones into the room and saw Chu Cichen sitting on the bed. His face was a little pale, probably due to his injury...

Thinking about this, Shen Ruojing suddenly realized that Song Chen's complexion seemed to have improved a lot during her time in country A...

"Jingjing, you're finally back," Chu Cichen looked at her with a deep gaze, making Shen Ruojing feel a moment of guilt because she was thinking about Song Chen in front of him.

She frowned.

For some reason, there was a slight discomfort in her heart.

She looked at Chu Cichen again and asked, "Where did you get hurt?"

"On my leg, it's not serious, just inconvenient to walk," Chu Cichen replied.

Shen Ruojing quickly lifted his blanket and found that his leg was wrapped in bandages and plaster. If she had to remove the plaster to check the wound, it would be troublesome, so she simply didn't check and just covered him back up.

Just then, the man suddenly spoke, "Jingjing..."

Shen Ruojing raised her head and hesitantly looked at him, only to hear the man say, "I missed you."

After speaking, he directly stretched out his big hand and hugged Shen Ruojing.

His hand was shaking, and his strength was overwhelming, making Shen Ruojing feel a strange feeling for a moment.

Shen Ruojing. "!!"

She turned her head and struggled to push away Chu Cichen's embrace. "The children are still here."

Shen Ruojing felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and didn't want to have too intimate contact with him.

Chu Cichen looked at the three little ones. "You guys go out first, I'll talk to your mommy for a while."

Shen Ruojing frowned.

She stood up suddenly. "I've been away from the kids for too long, and I miss them too. You rest first, I'll accompany them."

Chu Cichen sighed. "Jingjing, don't you miss me?"

Shen Ruojing. "?"

Chu Cichen would always act as if he was being wronged, so she softened her heart. "After I'm done with the kids, I'll come and be with you."

Chu Cichen's eyes deepened a bit. "Jingjing, I'm not very mobile right now. Can you come and keep me company at night?"

Shen Ruojing looked at him again.

This man hadn't seen her for half a month, so why did he suddenly become so thick-skinned?

But Chu Cichen had always wanted to be with her...

She remained silent for a moment and then suddenly smiled. "Okay."

Taking Song Chen to Country A by herself must have made him feel uneasy.

Shen Ruojing took the three little ones out the door.

-

At this moment, in a hospital in the capital.

Lu Cheng was in a deep coma in the ICU, with Ye Lu looking after him.

Ye Lu went in and prepared to wipe his face, but her hand was suddenly tightly grasped by Lu Cheng. Then he heard him whisper. "Brother Chen, come back... the usurper has taken over!"
