Chapter 368 A good daughter.
She deliberately made such plans because she wanted Shen Li and Ye Liu to spend some time with Chu Chang who was living his life without any trouble even though he had no wife. She seemed to have forgotten how many times, she and Wu Junfen had to scold a bunch of women who teased him when he left his house.—————————————
Of course, that was what she thought would happen but she didn\'t have much control over Shen Li and Ye Liu, it was up to them whether they could learn it or not.
So, early the next day, she sent the two of them to Chu Chang\'s house who lived just three houses away from them. Shen Li was surprised by the excitement she was showing and Ye Liu couldn\'t help but think that she had some underlying intentions and that was why she was doing this, of course, the two had thoughts like such in their heads but they didn\'t dare to say anything and simply did as she asked them to do. They dressed up early as possible and then walked to Chu Chang\'s house with dubious expressions on their faces.
Though they knew that Yu Dong will never purposely harm them, they could not help but think that maybe they were being fooled by Yu Dong.
As the two reached Chu Chang\'s house, the two exchanged a look at each other before knocking on his door.
Chu Chang was putting his youngest son to sleep when there was a knock on the door surprised at the sudden arrival he looked at his daughter Mu Ran and whispered, " Ran Ran, go and see who is at the door,"
Mu Ran nodded and rushed outside before she opened the door and looked at Shen Li and Ye Liu who was standing at the threshold with hesitant expressions on their faces. " Uncle Li, Uncle Liu? Good morning, how may I help you?"
The two were stunned by Mu Ran\'s excellent manners but after two seconds sighed, sure enough, this was the difference between the children who went to the academy and those who couldn\'t… if they had daughters then—— simultaneously, their expressions worsened and Mu Ran who was quick to catch on the change carefully asked, " Uncle Li...Uncle Liu, did I say anything wrong?"
Realising that they have slipped up, Shen Li morphed his expression at once to that of a gentle one, though Ye Liu had a little difficulty as he forced a smile. "It\'s nothing, we are here to have some discussion with your father, is he at home?"
Mu Ran nodded and motioned the two of them to follow her. " Please follow me, father is putting my brother to sleep, I will call him." Then she brought Shen Li and Ye Liu to the living room and hurried to the kitchen before she brewed an aromatic tea and served it to Shen Li and Ye Liu with walnut cakes that her father have made a day ago. " Please have these, I will call father and then you two can have your discussion with him."
Then she bowed politely and ran inside the house leaving a very shocked Shen Li and Ye Liu behind. A girl was serving tea and cakes? Back when they were at home, even if the sky were to fall, neither of their sisters ever did housework. So, how come Mu Ran was doing it? And that too with an air of great practise like she has been doing it for a long time.
It didn\'t take long for Chu Chang to come outside, he looked at Shen Li and Ye Liu with an apologetic expression as he greeted the two of them. " I am really sorry about this, my son was a bit fussy last night and didn\'t sleep, it was with great difficulty that I was able to make him sleep now." He carefully caressed his pregnant belly and sat down. Ever since Yu Dong started taking care of his pregnancy, Chu Chang has recovered a lot, now his complexion no longer looked as yellow as it once was.
Instead, he looked rather delicate with his skin and features recovering their youth.
"It\'s alright," said Shen Li as he raised his hands and shook off Chu Chang\'s apology. "It\'s us who turned up uninvited, it\'s not your fault at all."
"That\'s right," Ye Liu chimed up as he watched Mu Ran totter over and clean the table. She picked the cups in which they drank tea and placed them on the tray before taking them back to the kitchen. " Little Ran did a good job welcoming us, I have to say that she is really good at helping around the house."
" Not to mention, ever so polite as well." praised Shen Li feeling a bit eager, if he too had a daughter one day, then he will raise her just like Mu Ran.
Chu Chang tittered lightly, as he patted Mu Ran\'e head when she returned with fresh cups of water and placed them on the table. " I know that she is a bit too mature for her age, she saw me suffer quite a lot and started to help me around in a little this and a little that, before I knew it, she was helping me a lot more than I expected her to," as Mu Ran walked away to check up on her brother, the smile on Chu Chang\'s face dropped a little. " But I would have liked it if she acted a bit according to her age, she is always so calm and collected that I can\'t help but think if I went wrong with her somewhere."
"Of course not," said Shen Li at once. " From what I have seen you have done a very good job raising her."
Chu Chang heard the genuine sincerity in Shen Li\'s smile and nodded before saying, " Did Yu Dong send you here?"
