Chapter 221 - 213: Better and Better
The subsequent journey was sweet yet fleeting, with the two people who broke through the metaphorical window paper occasionally glancing at each other, or grinning foolishly like a pair of happy fools.
Tian Sisi finally fulfilled her long-held wish and completed the climb of the Badaling Great Wall, albeit on Tian Xinhua’s back. If it had been before, she might have felt embarrassed, but not anymore. Having allowed you a long kiss, shouldn’t she get some interest?
And so, the new couple willingly endured and blissfully finished climbing the Great Wall, returning home sweetly.
They got home just past noon, and He Chengsi had not yet returned. He Xuewen was accompanying Mr. Yun in the front courtyard, enjoying the sun and playing chess, with the faint scent of osmanthus lingering in the air—apparently, Mr. Yun couldn’t help but secretly indulge in osmanthus dew again.
Tian Sisi’s lips were still a bit swollen. Fearing that Mr. Yun and He Xuewen would notice something off if she stayed, she excused herself to make some snacks in the kitchen and left.
Mr. Yun took a meaningful glance at the fleeing Tian Sisi, then gave a knowing look to the triumphant Tian Xinhua. He smiled mysteriously at Tian Xinhua and, with a flick of his wrist, took He Xuewen’s piece on the chessboard.

Mr. Yun chuckled triumphantly, saying ambiguously, "It’s hard to defend against the unexpected! No matter how tightly you guard, there will always be a gap!"

Tian Xinhua stealthily glared at Mr. Yun, signaling him to speak less, as A Yin had specifically instructed before she left that Uncle He should not be informed!
