Chapter 894
Although Granny Liu hadn't had much contact with Le'an before, she knew that Le'an was sent to Huo Zhao's side because of his skills. In any case, he was at least better than her.
So Granny Liu had no choice but to nod: "Then, Miss Le'an, I'll leave things at home in your care."
As she spoke, Granny Liu stood up again and solemnly bowed to Le'an.
Le An stepped forward and helped the person up: "Don't worry."
Doukou said, "Mother, to be on the safe side, you should stay at the inn for the next few days."
Granny Liu nodded: "Alright, you don't need to go to the inn these next few days. I'll keep an eye on things there, so don't worry."
"good."
Before Ding Yu returned, Granny Liu packed her things and went to the inn.
As soon as she left, Doukou couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She took a deep breath and managed to calm herself down.
Le'an stood beside her: "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Um."
Doukou looked towards the direction of the courtyard gate.
Judging by the time, he should be back by now.
“Miss Le’an, please go inside first. I have something I want to say to him alone.”
"good."
Not long after Le'an hid inside, Ding Yu returned.
He walked briskly, carrying a box of pastries in his hand. Seeing that Doukou was standing and waiting for him, his smile deepened, and he quickly went to greet her: "Wife, why are you standing? Be careful not to get tired!"
He approached, but Doukou subtly avoided his hand: "What have you been busy with lately?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yu's expression froze almost imperceptibly.
But Doukou could still see clearly: "Hmm?"
"Hey, it's just about studying! You know, I failed the exam last year, but not by much, so I'm planning to take it again!" Ding Yu said, trying to sound relaxed.
“Really?” Doukou smiled. “Then why don’t you study at home? Don’t you have everything at home?”
“It’s because we have everything at home, and more importantly, with you here, how can I focus all my energy on preparing for the exam?” Ding Yu’s words became increasingly ambiguous. “When I’m with you, I don’t want to do anything serious.”
In the past, if Doukou had heard him speak like that, she would have blushed and scolded him with a laugh. But today, Doukou's expression remained indifferent, without a trace of a smile.
Ding Yu looked at her, feeling puzzled and even began to wonder if he had given himself away and Dou Kou had discovered him.
But he quickly dismissed that possibility.
He was always cautious in his actions, and Doukou was either at home or at the inn, so she had no time to chase after him.
Right now, there's only one possibility: I've been living too comfortably these past few days and have neglected Doukou.
That's quite possible.
So Ding Yu softened his voice a bit more: "I've been too busy studying these past few days and have neglected you for a while. It's really my fault, my wife, please don't be angry."
As he spoke, Ding Yu wrapped his arms around her waist, his large hand gently resting on her lower abdomen, his eyes filled with tenderness.
But Doukou's eyes were icy cold: "If you can't concentrate on your studies at home, you can blame me. But if you study outside and still fail the exam, who are you going to blame?"
