Chapter 37 (2/2)

It was around four o’clock in the afternoon which was fortunate for them as the weather in Port City was the most comfortable at this time.

The arrival of fall had swept off the remaining heat from summer, bringing in fresh, crisp, and cool air. The place the kids got dropped off was near a park where a few men in simple clothes played chess. The bicycles on the path stirred up the fallen leaves as they breezed past the group of four.

Xiao Rongyu walked ahead with her hair tied into a ponytail that swayed as she moved. She was almost 1.7 meters tall with a slim figure. A girl with such a back view would definitely not be ugly.

Chen Hansheng was secretly admiring her and did not expect Xiao Rongyu to suddenly turn around. Her pretty oval face looked at Chen Hansheng.

“What?”

Chen Hansheng was shocked.

“Why didn’t you want to help me carry my luggage just now? You would have been the first one to rush up in the past.”

Xiao Rongyu’s eyes looked a little unhappy.

Chen Hansheng didn’t think that it mattered who carried her luggage as long as the job was done. But instead, he said, “I wanted to, but Zibo and Gao Jialiang beat me to it.”

“Really?” asked Xiao Rongyu suspiciously.

“It’s true. I’m just too embarrassed to fight with them,” said Chen Hansheng sincerely.

“Don’t be so timid next time.”

Xiao Rongyu frowned.

Right now, Chen Hansheng only wanted to send Xiao Rongyu off and then go home to lie down. Therefore, if Xiao Rongyu had any strange requests, he would try his best to satisfy them.

They were about to walk past a cotton candy stall and Xiao Rongyu wanted to eat some.

Chen Hansheng shook his head. “I don’t have any change on me.”

He indeed did not have any change, except for an entire hundred yuan note.

However, Xiao Rongyu took out a one yuan note from her pocket and handed it to Chen Hansheng. “I have it. Go buy it.”

Chen Hansheng widened his eyes. ‘Did women have triangular brains? Why does she have to make buying something so complicated? Why can’t she just buy it herself?’

However, in order to get home early, Chen Hansheng still did as he was told. After getting the cotton candy, Xiao Rongyu’s mood became better.

“Do you want to eat one?” asked Xiao Rongyu.

“No.”

Chen Hansheng shook his head. He was not very interested in these sweets. However, the more he refused, the more Xiao Rongyu insisted that Chen Hansheng eat one.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll eat it.”

Chen Hansheng sighed helplessly and silently swore, ‘If I ever go home with Xiao Rongyu again, I’ll be a dog.’

Xiao Rongyu raised the cotton candy to Chen Hansheng’s mouth. Chen Hansheng reluctantly opened his mouth but was suddenly horrified. It turned out that his dad, Chen Zhaojun, and a group of people were walking over from the opposite side.

Chen Zhaojun was also very surprised. He did not expect to meet Chen Hansheng here. What was even more unexpected was that a girl was feeding his son cotton candy.

However, neither father nor son took the initiative to greet each other. They just ignored each other.

After Chen Hansheng had sent Xiao Rongyu home safely, he refused her mother’s invitation to have dinner with them and returned to his own house.

Liang Meijuan had just gotten off work and complained that Chen Hansheng did not know to give her notice in advance about his plans as she took out the food in the refrigerator to defrost. Even Chen Zhaojun was implicated after work.

“Chen Zhaojun, your son is so capable now. He doesn’t even know how to make a phone call when he’s on vacation. I bet he’ll secretly bring a daughter-in-law back for you. You’ll see!”

Liang Meijuan chattered non-stop, but Chen Zhaojun and Chen Hansheng looked at each other at the same time.

The moment their eyes met, the bored father and son turned their heads away in unison
