Chapter 791: Stars and Oceans
Night quietly approached.
The five people who had been bustling about all afternoon now sat together contentedly in the dining room.
Seeing Chen Jiayi and Zhao Jiaqi present their specialty dishes, neither of which could be considered delicate, but were a testament to their filial piety, the elderly couple could not stop smiling. After all, they had suddenly gained two daughters-in-law, and city girls at that, eloquent and educated—a situation akin to pie falling from the sky for folks who had spent most of their lives in the countryside.
As the Wu Family’s security, though the old couple wasn’t accustomed to grandeur, they were no longer fazed by trivial matters like tea sets and cups. After all, for a prestigious family such as the Wu Family, Lin Fan being an only child and extending the family line was of great importance.
Lin Fan, sharing drinks with the old master, watched his father’s excited face with particular joy tonight. In bits and pieces, he had gathered some information about his biological parents from their conversations. It wasn’t much, but it was already a great deal to him.
After escorting his drunken father back to his room, Lin Fan then walked upstairs, his arms around the waists of the two women. Now, knowing that Lin Fan was flesh and blood of the Provincial City gentry fostered in this town, the two women had many of their previous doubts dispelled.
"So, what do you plan to do next?"
Chen Jiayi looked up tenderly into his face, her head resting on Lin Fan’s shoulder.
"Since Grandpa has given me a year, I might as well straighten things out here in Red Flag County. That would be a satisfactory answer for him."
Embracing Chen Jiayi’s jade-like body, Lin Fan stroked Zhao Jiaqi, who was kneeling between his legs, her simple mind already hard at work, her nimble tongue licking the gradually awakening Iron Pestle.
