Chapter 827
"Let's ask Doukou first, after all, this is a matter for the Shen family."
Jixiang stopped worrying about their relationship and turned to leave.
——
Meanwhile, in a residential house not far from the Yuelai Inn.
A man dressed in plain clothes came out of the kitchen, carrying a pot of steaming soup.
As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, the man called out, "Wife! Come and try my fish soup!"
Doukou responded, but did not come out for a long time.
The man simply put down the fish soup and got up to knock on the bedroom door.
"My dear wife, I've explained it to you so many times, but you just won't believe me. I've never even heard of this cousin!"
Doukou glanced at him: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, I swear!" the man said, raising his finger to the sky as if to swear, "If I've done anything to wrong my wife, may I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Doukou hurriedly interrupted him: "Alright, stop talking nonsense! You're about to become a father, how can you still be so unreliable? You keep making oaths, what will happen to me and the child if something really happens to you?"
Ding Yu chuckled softly twice: "I only swore this because I have a clear conscience. Otherwise, why would I leave you and the child here?"
Doukou sighed and put her arm around his waist: "Ding Lang, no matter what, you are the person the young lady is looking for. I think if there is any misunderstanding, it would be better to clear it up."
"You mean, you want me to go see her?"
Doukou nodded: "Yes, the young lady rarely contacts me. It was quite a feat for her to contact me this time, and I don't want to disappoint her."
Ding Yu sighed: "Silly Doukou, didn't you say there were only two days over there? Now two days have passed, what good would it do if I went there now?"
Doukou was momentarily dazed.
Yes, two days have already passed.
What should we do?
Seeing that Doukou's mood had dropped, Ding Yu sighed and said, "Alright, alright, don't think about it so much. Although two days have passed, I'll go see her in a bit. At least let the girl know that you tried your best."
Doukou nodded after hearing this.
Seeing that she was in a slightly better mood, Ding Yu said, "Let's go out for dinner first. I'll go after you've finished eating."
"good."
——
After having lunch with Doukou, Ding Yu prepared to go out.
"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"
Ding Yu nodded: "You're pregnant, and besides, I've been in Luoyang City for so long, I won't get lost."
Doukou blushed: "I wasn't worried about you getting lost..."
Ding Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, yes."
Ding Yu said he couldn't come empty-handed, so he went to the inner room to get some silver, intending to buy some gifts for Huo Zhao to take over.
“The young lady is of noble status, so not just any ordinary gift will do,” Doukou said, while stuffing some more into his hand. “If you’re going to bring something, bring something good, bring more, that’s the proper way to show respect.”
Ding Yu weighed the heavy silver in his hand, smiled and nodded, and finally went out.
Watching his retreating figure, Doukou couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a hint of confusion appearing on her face.
Is it really as Ding Yu said, that there just happens to be someone with the same name as him?
Doukou raised her hand and touched her still-flat stomach, a resolute glint in her eyes.
It must just be a coincidence.
That must be it.
