His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1412 Weirdos

Long Hui continued carrying his son until they finally left the restaurant section of the mall. Earlier today, he disdained the presence of the bodyguards following him and his son wherever they went. He thought that it was an insult to him as a father, not only from Jiang Ying Yue but also from Iris and Jin Liwei. They must have thought that he was unfit to keep his own son safe from danger. Or maybe they felt that he was a danger to his own son. This had been a source of resentment for him for almost the entire day.

Now, however, he changed his mind. If it weren't for the bodyguards, his wife might have done something worse to his son besides screaming insults and scaring the poor little boy. If Mao Qiuyue somehow managed to physically hurt his son, Long Hui would go crazy. For him, the woman crossed the line today.

Little Jun was no longer howling at the top of his lungs, but he still looked pitiful with his aggrieved expression. He only whimpered as tears continued flowing down his face.

Long Hui's chest tightened seeing his son like this. He didn't even mind that he couldn't breathe properly because of how tight Little Jun was hugging his neck.

"It's fine now, Little Jun," he comforted his son. "The bad woman is now gone. She won't be able to hurt you. Dad won't let her hurt you."

"Wuwuwu. Junjun scayed. Bad monstah, ugly! Bad! Wuwuwu." (Wuwuwu. Junjun is scared. Bad monster is ugly! She's bad! Wuwuwu.)

"I know, son. Don't cry anymore."

"Junjun go home. Dada, home! Wuwuwu. Junjun want Mommi. Want Mama, Papa. Popkohn, Gwaby. Anko Domdom. Wuwuwu." (Junjun wants to go home. Daddy, let's go home! Wuwuwu. Junjun wants Mommy. I want Mama and Papa. Popcorn and Gravy. Uncle Dom. Wuwuwu.)

Long Hui's lips pressed into a thin line. He wanted to spend more time with his son today, but everything was ruined because of Mao Qiuyue. There was still time before he was supposed to return his son to Jiang Ying Yue, but now, he had no choice but to return Little Jun earlier than expected. Of course, he could always delay returning his son until the appointed time, but Little Jun was too scared about what happened. He looked at the bodyguards. "I'll drive my son to Dragon Palace."

"Sir, no need for that. Miss Jiang told us that we'll take the little master home."

"I'll drive my son," Long Hui repeated in a firmer tone. The bodyguards looked at each other. Then, finally, one of them stepped away and fished out a phone, presumably to contact Jiang Ying Yue.

Long Hui gritted his teeth. He hated this complicated arrangement just to spend time with his own son. Regardless of his complaints, he still restrained his temper. He admitted that he was responsible for what happened with Mao Qiuyue today. He should have been more careful and prevented the woman from getting the opportunity to even get close to his son. The bodyguard returned and handed him the phone. Long Hui took it. "Hello?"

All he could hear was some heavy breathing. He could almost see Jiang Ying Yue's furious expression in front of him. "Y-ying Yue?"

"Don't call me that! I already told you! Long Hui, if I find a single scratch on my son, I swear I'll beat up your wife with my bare hands until no teeth are left inside her dirty mouth! How dare she attack my son?! How dare you let your wife attack our son?! Long Hui, I shouldn't have let you take my son out today! Look what happened!!!"

Long Hui wanted to explain and defend himself but couldn't find the opportunity to interrupt Jiang Ying Yue's tirade. Little Jun heard his mother's voice on the phone and began crying for her. "Mommi? Uwah! Mommi! Junjun scayed! Junjun want Mommi! Go home! Mommi! Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" ("Mommy? Uwah! Mommy! Junjun is scared! Junjun wants Mommy! I want to go home! Mommy! Wah!!!)

"Is that my son?" Jiang Ying Yue finally stopped her tirade. "Give the phone to my son. I want to talk to him."

Long Hui sighed and held the phone to his son's ear. He could barely hear what his ex was saying to their son, but her tone drastically changed from furious to gentle and comforting. Little Jun stopped crying and began to calm down a little. His pitiful whimpers continued, though. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

After the call, Long Hui followed the bodyguards out of the mall. Along the way, they encountered a bunch of weird people. "I finally found our dear Little Junie boy!"

"Comrades, into our formation! Protect our Little Junjun!"

"Don't be too overexcited! You'll scare our dear nephew."

Long Hui was bewildered. Who were these weirdos? How did they know about his son?

He hugged Little Jun closer and cast a suspicious look at the weirdos. Then he glanced at the bodyguards. They didn't seem to treat the weirdos as threats to his son's safety. As a matter of fact, they even nodded to the weirdos. "Hmph! We don't care about you, Long Hui. We're doing this for the sake of our Boss Iris' dear nephew, not for you!"

"You really know how to choose a woman to marry! Big Sis Ying Yue is super cool and awesome, and yet you cheated on her with an ugly witch instead. Now, look at what the ugly witch did to our dear Little Junie boy!"

It was only then that Long Hui understood the identity of these weirdos. So they were Iris Long's fans. Crazy people.

Although their words angered him, he chose to ignore them instead. This wasn't the time to lash out. His frightened son was still trembling in his arms. His first priority was to comfort Little Jun and bring him to safety. If these weirdos could help him, he had no choice but to swallow his complaints against them. At least, for now. "Hmph! At least you know what's good for you. Don't worry. We're not shameless like you and your evil witch of a wife. We're proud Black Stars and know our limits. We won't cause trouble for our Boss Iris."

"Let's hurry up. I can hear the police sirens. I want to see what happens to that evil witch after we get Little Junie boy to safety."

"Don't worry. Our comrades are providing live updates on our group chat. They're not going to let Mao Qiuyue off so easily for all the mean things she said to our dearest nephew."

Long Hui stopped in his tracks. "What do you mean?"

The Black Stars weirdos rolled their eyes at him. Their dislike of him was clear as day, but they still answered his question. They explained that some of their comrades mobbed Mao Qiuyue for what she did to Little Jun. Since they were far from the restaurant section, their group was assigned to help escort Little Jun out to safety instead, even though they also wanted to join the mob against Mao Qiuyue. "Did my sister order you to do this?" Long Hui asked. One of them snorted. "No, Boss Iris didn't. We did this on our own accord. Don't underestimate us, the Black Stars, especially those who are hardcore members of the Slippers Army. Two of the best leaders of the Slippers Army alerted us about the situation. They requested backup from any Black Stars in the vicinity of this mall. Those two leaders are really good with computers. That's why they could direct us so accurately to find either your evil witch of a wife or you and Little Jun."

Long Hui fell silent. He could believe what they said. Wasn't the current CEO of Planet Monkey and head developer of the popular game "Supreme Ascension" a member of Black Stars and Slippers Army?

Long Hui also knew other more impressive members of his sister's fan club. A few of the most respected ladies in high society were known Black Stars, including the wife of the Police Chief.

He pursed his lips and stopped talking about this topic. He wouldn't admit his admiration of the wide variety of Iris' fans. The loyalty that her fans had for her was something that he could only imagine. In many ways, he was envious. But right now, he was actually thankful. The timely response of Iris' fans gave him an odd sense of security, especially after what happened with his wife. Little Jun also began to smile again. The Black Stars escorting them were friendly and called him by his name. The child could sense their friendliness. Finally, they reached the parking lot. "Bye-bye!" Little Jun waved at the friendly aunts and uncles.

"Aaaw, so cute!"

"Goodbye, Little Junie boy! Take care!"

The Black Stars gave the child some snacks and little toys that they were able to grab in a hurry along the way. One even gave him instant cup noodles.

Long Hui didn't bother stopping them from giving trash to his son. It was enough to see Little Jun happy again. He tossed his car key to one of the bodyguards. He wanted to drive by himself at first but changed his mind. His current mental state wasn't too good. He couldn't risk driving with a distracted mind while his son rode with him.

Long Hui could see some police officers entering the mall as his car drove away from the parking lot. It was a good thing that he could take his son away so quickly, or they would have to stay longer to speak to the police. He didn't want that to add stress to his already frightened son.
