Chapter 279 - 278: Undercover Stake
"I can’t help it, I want to know," complained Chu Hanyan, sticking out her lower lip.
Should he tell her or not? Chen Dabao wrestled with this internal conflict, shifting his gaze towards Chen Afu as he fiddled with his plump fingers.
Chen Afu chuckled as he wiped Chu Hanyan’s mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Sweetheart, if you can’t wait, there will be no surprise. Wouldn’t you like to be surprised?"
"Yes," Chu Hanyan nodded.
"Then, try to be patient. Just for three more days," Chen Afu reassured.
Chu Hanyan agreed. However, as soon as they had finished eating, she asked Chen Afu, "Auntie, when will these three days finally end? I can’t wait."
At last, after enduring three days filled with longing and expectancy from Dabao and Chu Hanyan, the day arrived.
That afternoon, the rain that had persevered for days finally ceased. The vast sky was clear and azure, only the wispy clouds around the setting sun blushed slightly.
After school, Dabao was carried by Chu Xiaoniu. They, along with Marquis Chu, Chu Lingzhi, and Alu, headed for Fu Garden. From a distance, they could see Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan waiting at the entrance for them, with their skirts swirling in the gentle breeze.
In Dabao’s eyes, his mother and sister were the two most beautiful women in the world. He thought about how the scene would look if he were standing in between them, holding each of their hands—it would be that much more picturesque. This image was etched forever in his mind.
