Chapter 386 I love you
Chapter 386 I love you
Chu Chang wished that he could bring his children with him but the two were still young and the ride to the capital was a long one. If they were to come with him who knows what might happen? And little kids were bound to get sick during a long journey, and the ride to the capital was a journey of three weeks through dessert and villages that are suffering through the drought at the moment, it will be troublesome if he were to bring his children with him after all if they got sick or got a heat stroke because of a moment of his carelessness, who was going to be responsible for it?So, the right decision was to leave them with Yu Dong who was good with children.
As soon as he got ready to leave, Mu Zhu who was holding his tears back burst out crying, Mu Ran was surprised and immediately tried to calm him down but her brother was crying so badly that she couldn’t stop him and because her brother was crying, Mu Ran also started to get teary-eyed.
Chu Chang who just turned his back to his kids was startled and turned around in surprise, seeing his son crying so badly that he was fighting for breath, he immediately felt a bit bad and wanted to crouch down and pick him up but his overly inflated belly he couldn’t do it. ” Zhu Zhu…”
Just as he was trying to calm his son, a pair of arms stretched over and picked Mu Zhu up.
Surprised, Chu Chang turned to look at Yu Dong who was rocking Mu Zhu in her arms. ” You don’t want to let go of your daddy?” She asked as she rocked Mu Zhu who nodded seriously. Seeing his smile, Yu Dong smiled and said, ” But what should we do? Daddy is going to get you a good thing from the capital, if you don’t let him go how will he bring a good gift for you?”
Mu Zhu who was crying was distracted because of the word ‘gift’ and turned to his daddy who was looking at him with an anxious expression. ” Daddy gift?”
Chu Chang knew that Yu Dong was trying to distract his son, so he smiled and cupped his son’s cheek. ” That’s right, daddy is going to bring you a gift.” Though Chu Chang was feeling a bit guilty, he still assured his son, he knew that without him, his son will have a hard time but as long as Mu Zhu knew that he will come back with a gift for him, then his son will look at his arrival with hope and not with sadness because he missed him too much.
Mu Zhu did not know that he was being fooled by the adults, he nodded and didn’t cry anymore. When Yu Dong saw that he wasn’t crying she poked his cheek and raised his lotus root-like arm and said, ” If you want a good gift, why don’t you see your daddy off with a smile? Say come soon, daddy.”
The little boy turned to Yu Dong who was smiling at him and felt her face merge with that of his mother and then he blinked before shaking his head. No, his mother never smiled at him like this, but he still raised his hand and waved to his daddy with a smile on his face, ” Come soon, daddy!”
” Of course, I will,” Chu Chang pecked his son’s cheek and then looked at his daughter who was looking at the ground. He turned to Yu Dong who understood what he wanted at once, she crouched down and helped Mu Zhu on the ground before picking up Mu Ran who was surprised by her actions and looked at her with a shocked expression. ” What—-“
” I will come soon baby,” said Chu Chang as he pecked Mu Ran’s forehead, feeling his daughter’s face heating up. He chuckled and looked at his daughter who was acting angry even though she was feeling shy. ” Wait for daddy, alright? I will be back soon.”
Mu Ran nodded and then looked at Yu Dong before saying, ” You can put me down, now Auntie Dong.” Then after a small pause, she added in a whisper. ” And Thank you.”
” No worries,” said Yu Dong as she helped Mu Ran to the ground with a smile.
Once Chu Chang was done saying goodbye to his children, he got inside the carriage with the help of Yu Dong. Since the two of them were business partners, Yu Dong could at least show him a bit of chivalry.
After she was done helping Chu Chang, she turned to her husbands who were looking at her with reluctance and a bit of sadness. She smiled with a melancholy touch and walked over to Shen Li and Ye Liu. ” I hope that you two will have fun there, don’t think of me much and live your life as much as you want… don’t worry about me or anyone else. Because when you come back, I will be waiting for you two with my arms open, alright?”
” Is this what you are supposed to say to us?” said Ye Liu angrily as he stomped his feet and then buried his face in Yu Dong’s bosom as he hugged her and then slowly got in the carriage after pulling back.
Once he was inside the carriage, Yu Dong turned to Shen Li who was standing next to her with a sad expression that could be considered a mixture of reluctance and relief. Reluctance because he did not want to leave her, relief because he was going to start a new life as he wanted… this will be his first step towards the happiness that he has been looking for.
Yu Dong tilted her head and slowly opened her arms and jokingly said, ” What are you waiting for? Invitation?”
Shen Li snorted. ” Idiot!” Before he hugged her back and whispered, ” I will be back soon.”
” I know,” said Yu Dong as she hugged Shen Li tightly. This was why having too many husbands was a problem, she was bound to get attached to one of them a bit more than others, she nuzzled her nose in Shen Li’s hair and sucked in a deep breath embedding his scent in her senses. ” I will be waiting for you.”
” Of course, you will be,” said Shen Li with a smile as he pulled away but just as he was getting on the carriage Yu Dong pulled him back. ” And you know what Li?”
” What?” He asked as he turned around and looked at her.
” I love you.”
