I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists Novel - Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Protecting “Song Yan”
Qiu Tong used a lot of strength and left a clear mark on the side of Jin Yang’s face, which was quickly swelling up.

Jin Yang could feel the fear in Qiu Tong’s heart at the thought of losing her children. He didn’t want to reveal his identity by explaining himself.

Song Yan’s warning lingered in Jin Yang’s ears, making him realize that his cover had been blown. Qiu Tong would never forgive him.

At the thought of this, Jin Yang lowered his head in silence and said, “I’m sorry.”

He did not try to explain himself, making it seem as if he was admitting his terrible prank. Qiu Tong’s anger towards him intensified.

When Qiu Xingyu saw that Jin Yang had been slapped, she hurriedly ran to his side. She tugged at Jin Yang’s sleeve and explained to Qiu Tong, “Mommy, we secretly planned to sneak away. It has nothing to do with Uncle Song Yan!”

“We wanted to help you, but we were afraid of being scolded, so we wanted to head back…”

“But we met Uncle Song Yan on the way back. He didn’t do anything wrong! It’s wrong for Mommy to hit people.”

Little Yu stamped her feet in dismay. She took the initiative to grab Jin Yang’s sleeve. “Uncle Song Yan, does it hurt? Squat down!”

Seeing that she was about to cry from anxiety, Jin Yang had no choice but to obediently squat down.

Qiu Xingyu used her hand to gently rub the mark on the side of his face. She pouted and blew at it. She muttered, “It won’t hurt if I blow on it!”

Jin Yang was so touched that his heart seemed to melt as he hugged her. “Uncle doesn’t feel any pain.”

He raised his slender fingers to wipe the tears off Little Yu’s face, not forgetting to speak up for Qiu Tong. “Mommy is worried about you guys, that’s why she’s so anxious. Uncle understands…” Qiu Tong widened her eyes in surprise. Was he pretending to be magnanimous now to win over her children?!

As expected, Little Yu turned to look at her with clear eyes, her expression a little resentful.

“Come here!”

Qiu Tong placed her hands on her hips and ordered in a low voice.

Qiu Xingyuan saw Qiu Tong’s furious expression. He knew that this was happening only because they had run away. He took the initiative to step up and admit his mistake.

“It really has nothing to do with him. He just happened to meet us.”

“If you want to punish someone, punish me. I was the one who ran off with my siblings.”

Qiu Xingyuan wanted to shoulder all the blame. Qiu Xingqiao also put on a brave front and stood in front of Little Yu and Jin Yang. “I have a part in this too!”

These children seemed to all be on Song Yan’s side!

Didn’t they know how dangerous the mountains were?!

Qiu Tong’s gradually quelling anger was once again ignited by their protective actions. She pulled Little Yu over and held her in the crook of one arm, before grabbing Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao also to drag them back towards the camp. “Looks like I have to let you kids suffer a little!”

Jin Yang looked at the lights in the camp and turned to leave bitterly.

Late into the night, Song Yan and his men searched the mountains but could not find any trace of the children. He returned to the camp with regret and guilt.

He had just stepped into the camp when Little Yu ran out of the tent. She threw herself into Song Yan’s arms joyfully and hugged his neck especially intimately. “Uncle Song Yan, why are you only back now?”

Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao’s attitude towards him also eased a little as they took the initiative to welcome him. They stood a couple of steps away and stared at him.

Song Yan hugged Little Yu in surprise. Seeing that they were not injured, his worried heart gradually relaxed.
