C178 (1/2)

After Yu Huan finished her shower, Chu Yufeng tidied up the buttons on her shirt in a serious manner. A wicked smile was plastered on her handsome face.

”Little demoness, I need to go out first. Wait for me tonight.”

Yu Huan walked over and helped button him up. She ignored his profound words and asked in a muffled voice, ”I'm going back today. I can't stay here forever. It's not convenient.”

”Hmm, it is indeed inconvenient.” Chu Yufeng looked at the strawberry on her neck with a satisfied expression on his face as he stroked it with his fingers.

”I think your balcony is pretty good.” Chu Yufeng breathed hot air on her face.

”Indecent.” Yu Huan rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, ”Then I'll go discuss it with mom in a while.”

”Alright, I'll go out first.” Chu Yufeng cupped her cheeks and gave her a deep kiss before leaving.

Yu Huan stood in front of the mirror. She frowned as she looked at the deep purple colored kiss mark on her neck. Helplessly, she grabbed a long shirt and put it on.

Fortunately, it was late autumn, so he did not find it strange.

When he went downstairs, he bumped into Elder Chu and Ruo Lan. Elder Chu pushed his wheelchair in from the door, and the two of them seemed to have gone out for a walk.

Yu Luan laughed as he walked down, nodding to Elder Chu.

”Huanhuan, let's go eat breakfast first. I don't know what you like to eat, so I've got a variety of dishes prepared by the servants.” Her eyes were full of love.

At the bottom of Yu Huan's heart was a wave of emotions. Her eyes were sore. Mother's love was truly very warm, making her feel very touched.

He walked to the dining table and saw that a lot of breakfast had been prepared. He casually drank a bit of soy milk before returning to Ruo Lan's side.

Ruo Lan smiled at her. ”You ate too little. No wonder you're so thin.”

”Mom, thank you.” Yu Huan sat beside her with tears shining in her eyes.

”That's what I should do. After not taking care of you for so many years, I'm already ashamed.” Ruo Lan said in a low voice.

Elder Chu sat beside the two and read the newspaper. Seeing Ruo Lan's expression, she also felt very comforted. No matter what, as long as she was happy, it was fine.

”Mom, what happened to your leg?” This was the first time Yu Huan had ever asked why Ruo Lan's leg was paralyzed. What had happened to her?

The smile on Ruo Lan's face vanished as she stretched out her hand to stroke her hair. ”It was caused when I was giving birth to you.”

Yu Huan's expression stiffened. She had never thought that the reason why Ruo Lan was paralyzed was entirely because of her?

He felt sour inside and his mouth trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

”It was all an accident back then. It's a good thing that you're fine.” Ruo Lan smiled and patted the back of her hand. Back then, she had suffered such a huge blow, no matter if it was losing her legs or losing her children. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been tortured to death that year.

Yu Huan's eyes reddened as she looked at Ruo Lan. She didn't say a word, and could only tightly hold her hand.

Actually, she was very curious about who her father was, but she didn't dare to ask.

”Alright, alright, let's not talk about what happened that year.” ”Huanhuan, don't ask me about what happened that year. Anyway, you and your mother have now acknowledged each other. Why do you need to bring up the matters of the past?”

Yu Huan silently looked at Elder Chu. These words of his were obviously warning her not to ask any further questions. What was Elder Chu trying to guard against?

A strange feeling flashed through his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

”Mom, I want to go back today.” Yu Huan said in a soft voice.

”Why are you going back? ”Are you not comfortable staying here?” Ruo Lan looked very surprised, her eyes filled with reluctance, ”Didn't Xiaolong like it here? You can stay with me from now on. ”

Yu Huan raised her head and glanced at Elder Chu. No matter what, this place belonged to the Chu Clan. Elder Chu obviously didn't like her, so why did she have to stay here?

”Mom, it's the same for me to visit you often in the future. Xiaolong's kindergarten is very far away, so it's not very convenient.”

Ruo Lan couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes and nodded. ”Okay, but you have to come here often.”

Yu Huan nodded her head. With a trace of doubt in her eyes, she carefully asked, ”Mom, there's actually something I want to ask you.”

”What is it?”

”Mine …”

”Huanhuan, stop asking.” Elder Chu's expression turned ugly, ”There are some things that you don't have to know the answer to. Perhaps the answer isn't as good as you think.”

The living room was completely silent. Yu Huan's face was filled with puzzlement and confusion. She really didn't understand why Elder Chu didn't let her continue asking. Even before she could say anything, he had already stopped her.

Ruo Lan's face didn't look too good either. She remained silent with a sullen face.

”Big brother Chu, that thing finally happened. Huanhuan also came back at that time …” Ruo Lan could not continue. Her eyes reddened, as if she had remembered something sad.

Elder Chu sighed and patted the back of her hand in consolation before turning his gaze back to Yu Huan.

”I know what you're going to ask. I'll tell you about it, but not now.” His words paused for a moment, then he looked at Ruo Lan. ”Your body isn't well, you don't want to remember the past, understand?”
