Mu Silin listened, his heart pounding with emotion. After waiting for so long, he had finally heard him say "Father"!
This moment had finally arrived.
He immediately crouched down.
"Er Bao, Father promises you, Father will never, ever bully your female mother."
"Father is a man of his word. I will be the best father in your heart and become your hero."
As Er Bao listened, a sense of happiness spread through him. For the first time, he faced Mu Silin seriously, with the respect and affection one has for a father.
"Then you have to protect my female mother, okay? I love my female mother the most, but you didn’t protect her well this time. You let the bad guys take her away!"
"Even though I’ve accepted you as my Father, I still love my female mother the most. You have to promise Er Bao that you’ll protect her."
Mu Silin’s heart melted.
This was the first time Er Bao had made a request of him, the first time he had spoken to him with the emotion and expectation befitting a father.
He was overcome with excitement.
"Okay, Father promises you. Father won’t compete with your female mother for a place in your heart."
"Father also promises to protect you and your female mother. It was Father’s fault this time. I didn’t protect your female mother. Father was useless."
As Mu Silin spoke, the usual masculine strength in his eyes vanished as he looked at Shen Yue, replaced by an overflowing love.
"Shen Yue, I, Mu Silin, swear that I will protect you and the children with my life from now on. I will never let you fall into danger again."
Shen Yue met his gaze and was almost pulled into the inescapable vortex of his love. To say she wasn’t happy at this moment would be a lie.
After coming to this Beast World, she knew better than anyone what she had hoped for and longed to possess.
Before, she had never dared to trust anyone, living in constant fear.
But this time was different. Even without her memories, she had instinctively come to like and rely on them.
So, she wanted to treasure and hold onto this feeling.
Thinking of this, she didn’t avoid Mu Silin’s gaze.
She looked back at him with the same earnest and heartfelt expression, responding:
"Okay. I believe you."
"I’ll protect the children with you."
The moment she said this, it undoubtedly struck a chord deep within the man’s heart. The feelings that had long awaited her response were finally consoled.
Mu Silin’s heart pounded like thunder, and his eyes instantly filled with fervor.
He wished he could just pull Shen Yue into his arms.
And he did.
’I can feel it. Shen Yue has accepted me.’
’I truly belong to her now.’
’She wants me.’
’I’m no longer just the person watching her from the sidelines. My love and feelings have been returned.’
Mu Silin felt that in these few short months, only at this very moment had his happiness been magnified a hundredfold, flooding every cell in his body.
He desperately wanted to hold her fiercely in his arms right then and there, to possess her.
But feeling the cold air emanating from someone beside him, he managed to restrain himself with great difficulty.
He didn’t need to guess who was releasing that chilly aura.
Who else could it be but Huang Ziyue, who had been scowling and staring daggers at him the entire time?
After all, the fact that Dabao and Er Bao had called Mu Silin and Ye Lüqi "Father" one after another was both touching and a blow to Huang Ziyue and the others.
They couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
Gu Fangqi, in particular, was frustrated. ’The four of us defended Barbaric City together, so why did those two get to win the children’s approval in this one battle?’
’And what about me?’
’Si Bao’s gaze toward me has changed slightly, but other than that, there’s been no reaction at all.’
’I even tried to hint with my eyes, but Si Bao remained indifferent.’
