Chapter 256: Cai Ping Got Into Trouble (7)_1
Upon hearing about Cai Ping’s incident, Lady Du didn’t want the children’s ears tainted by such sleazy matters, and she couldn’t leave herself, so she asked Cai Wei to take them back to her home.
Nangong Yi and Manager Li also made their excuses and followed Cai Wei back home.
Wen’er saw Nangong Yi again and his face flushed with excitement, his big eyes stealing glances at him from time to time. As they were about to reach their front door, he suddenly dashed forward and fell on his knees before Nangong Yi, pleading loudly, "Master, please take me in too. I promise I will study hard and do as well as my sister!"
Cai Wei was startled by his unexpected action and scolded in a low voice, "Wen’er, stop fooling around, get up!"
Unexpectedly, Wen’er simply remained kneeling there, unmoved. He even insisted loudly, "If Master doesn’t agree to take me in, I won’t get up."
Nangong Yi glanced at Cai Wei, then looked down at the kneeling Wen’er, and smiled, "You’re so young, yet you have such ambition. Wait until you get to the capital and come find me!"
With that, he turned and left.
Wen’er watched the stiff departing figure, dazed for a moment, then suddenly leapt up, shouting joyfully, "Great, Master agreed to take me in, that’s just great..."
His cheers rang out, drifting far away into the man’s ears, causing him to smile and stride away with great vigour.
Finally, he had a legitimate excuse to stay in her life. Even if he could not possess her, at least he could watch her from afar, silently caring for her, relieving his yearning in this way!
Once Cai Wei got the children settled in at home and re-fired the fire kang, she quickly washed her hands and rushed off to Jiujin’s house.
