CH 113

Xu Fan’s tender, milky voice was loud and powerful. Not only did it shake Mother Xu out of her daze, it also reminded Mother Xu that—Cui Dingchen was hugging Xu Zhao.

Mother Xu was suddenly shocked out of her wits. She looked at Xu Zhao and Cui Dingchen, who had quickly pulled apart, and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you guys doing?”

Xu Zhao’s face was red, and he didn’t know how to answer.

Since things had come to this, there was no point in hiding it. Cui Dingchen confessed, “Auntie Xu, we’re dating.”

Dating?

Dating with the Cui family’s youngest uncle?

Xu Zhao and the Cui family’s youngest uncle were dating?

The Cui family’s youngest uncle also changed the way he called her to “Auntie Xu?”

These questions twirled in her mind, making Mother Xu overwhelmed. In such a short period of time, it was difficult for Mother Xu to accept all of this at once. Her conflicted expressions were clearly seen by Xu Zhao and Cui Dingchen.

Cui Dingchen’s heart squeezed.

Now wasn’t the time to have a conversation, so Xu Zhao whispered to Cui Dingchen, “Youngest uncle, you should head back first.”

Cui Dingchen looked at Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao didn’t speak, but Cui Dingchen understood what Xu Zhao meant. At this time, Xu Zhao needed to have a talk with Mother Xu, so he didn’t stay any longer. After bidding goodbye to Mother Xu, Xu Zhao, and Xu Fan, he reluctantly left.

It wasn’t until then that Xu Zhao finally looked at Mother Xu and Xu Fan.

Mother Xu questionably looked at Xu Zhao as well.

Xu Fan was stunned and asked, “Daddy, why was Second Grandpa Cui hugging you?”

He asked again!

This baby wanted to dig a pit for his father!

Xu Zhao bent down and picked up Xu Fan, then said to Mother Xu, “Mom, let’s go home and eat.” He then carried Xu Fan and went home together with Mother Xu. As soon as he arrived home, Da Zhuang’s father came over to call Xu Zhao and Xu Fan over to their house to drink fish soup. Xu Zhao didn’t go. Xu Fan, who loved eating, ran over. And so, there was only Mother and Father Xu at their home’s dining table. Xu Zhao took this opportunity to confess all the matters of his heart to the two elders.

At this moment, even Father Xu froze. After a moment, he put his chopsticks down and fell silent.

Mother Xu furrowed her brows. She looked at Xu Zhao and asked, “When did it start?”

Xu Zhao honestly replied, “Last year.”

The person who answered was Mother Cui. Hearing that it was Xu Zhao, Mother Cui asked about Xu Fan’s matters and told Xu Zhao to bring Xu Fan over to the county town to play when they were free. She then called Cui Dingchen over to take the phone.

“How did it go?” Cui Dingchen anxiously asked on the other side.

This was the first time Xu Zhao heard Cui Dingchen sound so serious. He didn’t know why Cui Dingchen was so anxious, so he asked, “How did what go?”
