Chiu Chiu offered to help her mother arrange a meeting with Grand Tutor Chen.
Xu Ruyun nodded and said, "Okay!"
Chirp clapped happily: "Great!"
[There's candy to eat! Let's sprinkle some candy!]
Xu Ruyun: Candy? Qiuqiu doesn't want me to get married, does she? I just want to clarify what happened back then. This little brat, wanting his mother married off so early, and he even wants candy.
As soon as Grand Tutor Chen finished his court session, he felt his eyelids twitching.
Grand Tutor Chen covered his left eye and said, "What's wrong with me today? My eyelid keeps twitching, I can't stop it even if I cover it."
His colleagues joked with Chen Taifu, "Is it your left eye that's twitching? Maybe something good is coming."
Grand Tutor Chen: "What good things could come of a lonely man like me?"
A colleague laughed and said, "You might just find a daughter on your way out!"
Grand Tutor Chen stumbled and almost tripped.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Grand Tutor Chen heard a little girl sweetly call out, "Father!"
Grand Tutor Chen turned around in surprise and saw Qiuqiu.
He happily picked up Chiu Chiu.
"My darling, you're being so sweet today!"
Chirp: "I have great news for you, you're going to be my dad soon!"
Grand Tutor Chen said, both amused and exasperated, "Really? How come I didn't know that?"
Chirp: "My mom invited you to dinner at Wangyue Tower tonight. Don't be late!"
Grand Tutor Chen's eyes lit up: "You said your mother invited me? Did I hear that right? Really?"
Chirp: "Absolutely true!"
Grand Tutor Chen happily hugged Qiuqiu and spun her around several times.
Grand Tutor Chen: "Thank you, Qiuqiu! Come on, Daddy will buy you something delicious!"
Chuchu: "Okay! Time to go buy some delicious food!"
Qi Jiating felt uneasy watching Chen Taifu holding Qiuqiu.
He called out to Chiu Chiu, "Chiu Chiu, come down quickly! Come with Daddy!"
Chiu Chiu pretended not to hear and hugged Chen Taifu's neck again.
Chiu Chiu: "I like a dad who has good character, a good personality, and is good to my mom."
Grand Tutor Chen quickly echoed, "I remember! I will definitely keep in mind and follow Qiuqiu's instructions!"
Chirp chirped and laughed.
That evening, in Wangyue Tower, Xu Ruyun wore a light blue dress, her hair was tied up, and she wore the lipstick that Qiuqiu had given her, which made her skin look even whiter and her eyes even more lively.
Grand Tutor Chen brought over some of Xu Ruyun's favorite snacks.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Xu Ruyun: "No, I'm just early. Please sit down."
Grand Tutor Chen nodded and sat down opposite Xu Ruyun.
The table was laden with a sumptuous meal.
Xu Ruyun poured a cup of wine for Grand Tutor Chen.
Grand Tutor Chen excitedly held the wine cup with both hands.
Xu Ruyun: "Jiahang, there's something I want to ask you, and you have to tell me the truth."
Grand Tutor Chen Jiahang said, "Alright! Ruyun, ask away, I will tell you the truth."
Hsu Ju-yun: "Back then, I was so frightened by the robbers that I fainted. Wasn't it you who saved me then?"
Grand Tutor Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Xu Ruyun's eyes involuntarily reddened.
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Grand Tutor Chen said, "You were still an unmarried young woman at the time, so I had to consider your reputation and keep this matter completely under wraps."
Xu Ruyun: "You didn't say anything, and Qi Jiating stole the credit. If it weren't for that incident, why would I have married him? He lied to me for so many years, he deceived me so much! Waaah..."
Xu Ruyun's crying made Grand Tutor Chen feel sorry for her.
He couldn't help but take Xu Ruyun's hand and wipe away her tears.
Xu Ruyun neither resisted nor pulled her hand back.
Grand Tutor Chen was overjoyed. He sat even closer to Xu Ruyun and then embraced her.
"Don't worry, Yun'er, I will never let you suffer any more grievances in the future!"
Xu Ruyun gently pounded Chen Taifu's chest.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? Otherwise, I might have married you!"
Grand Tutor Chen was trembling with excitement. He looked at Xu Ruyun with deep affection and said, "Yun'er, what did you just say? Can you say it again? You said you were willing to marry me? Right?"
Xu Ruyun shyly buried her head in Chen Taifu's arms.
Grand Tutor Chen: "Yun'er, don't worry! I will treat you like a precious jewel. I saw all the suffering you endured before, and it pained me deeply. From now on, I will take good care of you and cherish you. I love you, Yun'er!"
Grand Tutor Chen stroked Xu Ruyun's face and affectionately brought his lips close to hers.
Chirp was rolling around happily on the bed.
[Grand Tutor Chen went on a date with his mother!]
[Grand Tutor Chen is about to become my father!]
I wonder if they've hugged yet? Or lifted each other up high? Hahaha! Just thinking about it makes me so happy!
Xu Ruyun had just stepped inside when she heard Qiuqiu's excited shouts.
When Chiu Chiu heard that her mother had returned, she ran out barefoot without even putting on her shoes.
Xu Ruyun picked up Qiuqiu with a pained expression: "Why aren't you asleep yet? You came out without putting on your shoes, your feet are so cold!"
Chiu Chiu looked at her mother happily and said, "Mommy, are you happy today?"
A blush appeared on Xu Ruyun's face, followed by a smile, and then she nodded.
Wow! Mommy's blushing! Mommy's in love!
Did they actually hug?
[I never imagined that the first couple I'd ship would be my mom and my stepfather!]
I want to see Grand Tutor Chen and my mother on a date! I want to see them being all lovey-dovey! I…
What Qiuqiu was thinking at that moment sounded deafening to Xu Ruyun.
It was such a subtle thing, yet she had to say it out loud, even if she only said it in her heart. Xu Ruyun felt somewhat embarrassed.
Xu Ruyun casually took out a bag of candy and stuffed it into Qiuqiu's hand.
Chuchu: "Wow! There really is candy!"
Xu Ruyun peeled a piece of candy and put it into Qiuqiu's mouth.
Chuchu looked delighted.
[My mom actually fed me candy! Women in love really are different!]
My mom usually doesn't let me eat candy, but this time she actually gave me some!
Xu Ruyun: Didn't you tell me to spread candy?
This is so sweet! It's even sweeter than watching my mother and Chen Taifu fall in love!
Xu Ruyun peeled another candy and gave it to Qiuqiu.
Xu Ruyun: You really can't shut up even with a single candy! Right, she's not speaking with her mouth, so even two candies wouldn't shut her up!
"Xiao Feng!"
Xiao Feng: "Yes!"
Xu Ruyun: "It's getting late, quickly take Miss to rest!"
"yes!"
Helpless, Xu Ruyun had no choice but to call out Xiaofeng and have her bring Qiuqiu into the house.
Xu Ruyun: "Keep an eye on her and make sure she eats less sugar!"
Xiao Feng: "Yes, Madam!"
[Mother, I haven't finished asking yet! How far have things progressed between you and Grand Tutor Chen today?]
