Chapter 441 The High Priest Who Can Never Return 9



I sat there for the entire night.

Even though this was still on the top floor, Ahri was sometimes not satisfied, saying, "We should go to the top of the mountain."

Old Chen would sometimes come over to see Shen Silan and ask him, "Are you really not planning to act anymore?"

Shen Silan looked at the closed door and said, "Wait until the child is a little older."

Inside the door, Ahri was teaching Zai Zai to draw totems and incantations, and Zai Zai was learning very diligently.

When Old Chen noticed that Ali and Zai Zai weren't there, he asked, "Where are your wife and child?"

"Inside the house."

Right now, Shen Silan and Lao Chen are making tea, the corn and pork rib soup in the kitchen is still simmering, and the rice is cooked.

Old Chen drank a bellyful of tea, then suddenly asked Shen Silan, "By the way, I've never heard you mention your baby's name?"

Shen Silan said, "Call it Angelica sinensis."

Old Chen felt a pang of sadness. He said, "Dang Gui, this name is taken from a Chinese medicine, but it also has another meaning. It means missing your husband and hoping that he will return. This name must have been given to you before you came back."

Shen Silan put down his teacup and simply smiled.

He didn't name the baby before he returned; rather, he asked Ah Li about naming the baby after the baby was born, and Ah Li immediately said, "Angelica."

Danggui means "it is time to return" or "it is time to go back".

Shen Silan looked at the door again. From the moment the child learned to walk, she taught him to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. She even made a mask for him in advance, along with those incantations... Did she really want her child to become a high priest?

Why?

Things that Shen Silan had never thought about deeply before, he has now begun to ponder because of the word "angelica".

When she first arrived here, she wanted to go back and treated him like an enemy. Later, after they got together, she never mentioned it again, not even telling him she was pregnant.

It seems she did find a way back, but she didn't tell him.

Thinking of this, Shen Silan felt his mind go blank. He wanted to push open the door and ask Ah Li if it was what he had just thought!

Seeing that Shen Silan's expression was off, Old Chen asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you get sick from being a stay-at-home husband?"

Shen Silan forced a smile and said, "No, Lao Chen, would you like to stay for dinner?"

Old Chen patted his stomach and said, "Never mind, you've already made me drink so much tea, I'm full."

Old Chen left, and Shen Silan walked to the door of the room. Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock, a sound came from inside the room.

"Mom, why do we have to do these things every day?"

"You'll understand when you grow up."

Ali patted Little Angelica's head. He was very smart and learned very well.

Shen Silan pushed the door open and went in. He noticed that Ah Li's face was not painted, but Xiao Danggui was wearing the mask.

Since they got together, she doesn't seem to have painted those patterns on her face anymore.

"dad."

When Xiao Danggui saw Shen Silan come in, he even reached out his hand to Shen Silan.

Shen Silan calmly picked up Xiao Danggui and removed the mask from Xiao Danggui's face. Sure enough, his face was also painted with those totems.

Shen Silan felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart for some reason.

Seeing that Shen Silan seemed to be having trouble holding the mask, Ah Li quickly went up to her and tried to take the mask from her hands.

Shen Silan held onto the mask tightly, looking at Ah Li with a sorrowful expression, "You stayed with me and gave birth to Dangui, all so that we could go back, right?"

"You found out?"

Ahri admitted it, which surprised her quite a bit.

Shen Silan removed his mask and hugged Xiao Danggui tightly. He was like a wounded beast, whispering, "It seems that you only ever used me from the beginning, without a single bit of affection."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. You must have enjoyed being with us."

"Tao Li!"

Shen Silan glared fiercely at Ah Li, then carried Xiao Danggui out.

He made up his mind: he would take Xiao Danggui and run away from home, never to return!

Ahri quickly and carefully put the mask away and chased after them out of the room.

Shen Silan walked very fast, without taking anything or her phone. She took the elevator with Xiao Danggui in her arms and arrived downstairs.

As Ahri stepped out of another elevator, she noticed that Shen Silan was about to leave the residential area.

This person is walking pretty fast; they really are running away from home.

Ahri continued chasing after him, shouting, "Chen Silan! Stop right there! You can leave if you want, but leave the child behind!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Silan walked even faster.

Just then, Ahri suddenly twisted her ankle and fell flat on her face. "Ouch, that hurts!"

Shen Silan turned around and saw Ah Li sitting on the ground, raising her hand and breathing.

It's definitely fake.

But he still carried the child back, saying, "Where are you hurt? Let me see."

"No, just keep walking. You won't feel bad if you fall and get hurt."

Ahri covered her hands, turned her back, and sounded a little aggrieved.

Shen Silan put Xiao Danggui down and let it stand to the side. He wanted to reach out and help Ah Li up.

As a result, Ali suddenly stood up, rushed over to Xiao Danggui, picked him up, and looked smug, as if he had tricked someone again. "Haha, I tricked you again, didn't I?"

When Shen Silan looked over, Ah Li ran away instantly with the child in her arms.

Little Danggui was overjoyed, taking turns being held by her father and mother. It was so much fun.

"Tao Li!"

Shen Silan called out Ah Li's name, tears slowly sliding down his face. This person had been lying to him all along!
