Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 487: Caterpillar Mom Doesn’t Bite (1)
The excitement of going shopping had ended in disappointment and a return home.
The next day, Zhang Junyao hurried to the Fuyuan Inn early in the morning to pay respects to his master.
"Rise," said Dugu Chen, seated in a chair as he glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
"Thank you, Master," Zhang Junyao stood up, properly took his place to the side, and looked around the room, but did not see the lady of the house.
His every move had not escaped Dugu Chen’s sharp eyes. "Let go of your thoughts," he said with piercing gaze.
Zhang Junyao was startled by his master’s words, and by the time he recovered, he felt a chill down his spine and had difficulty swallowing his saliva. "Yes."
Seeing him like this, Dugu Chen was satisfied and withdrew his gaze.
’Bang,’ the door was flung open from the outside, and a small, green-clad figure came in, her young voice tinged with annoyance, "Dad, what are you dragging your feet for? We’ve all been waiting for you."
Hearing his little daughter’s voice, his previously gloomy face instantly brightened up, looking tenderly at Yueyue with pursed lips at the door.
"Here I come," he said as he stood up and picked up the little girl from the floor, planting a kiss on her rosy cheek. "Dad is here, why the pout?"
"Humph, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, and still, you dawdle."
"Yes, yes, yes, Dad will pay attention next time," Dugu Chen hurriedly appeased his daughter.
Seeing her father’s agreeable attitude, Yueyue finally smiled lightly, pinching Dugu Chen’s nose, "Seeing as you’re in such good spirits, I’ll forgive you this time, but don’t let it happen again!"
"My lady, your wish is my command."
Zhang Junyao silently watched his master from the side, wondering when his master had become so openly cheerful, and when he had revealed such a gentle side.
Just as he was setting foot outside, Dugu Chen, who was holding Yueyue, turned and looked at Zhang Junyao, "Just do your job well. You know who to contact if something comes up!"
"Yes, Master, I will bear it in mind," he replied, bowing with a fist and casting his eyes downward.
Feng Xuxu saw Dugu Chen emerge with Yueyue in his arms, turned to pick up Qiqi from the ground, placed him in the carriage, and then stepped into the carriage herself. Once she received her daughter from her husband’s hands, and after Dugu Chen boarded, Huang Yi began to drive the carriage straight to the estate outside the city.
"Why did it take you so long to come out?" Inside the carriage, Feng Xuxu glanced at Dugu Chen beside her.
"Zhang Junyao came to pay his respects, it delayed me," he explained.
"Oh, that so? Speaking of which, he and I are still business partners," she nodded, having heard her husband mention after their wedding that he was a subordinate.
Dugu Chen tapped her nose teasingly, "What business partners? That ended the day you married me."
"Dad, Mom, is it okay for you to be like this in front of us?" Qiqi rolled his eyes, unable to bear the sight of his parents being so affectionate.
"Okay? Okay?" Yueyue tilted her head and looked at her father in confusion, repeating her brother’s words.
"You little rascal, what do you know? I haven’t checked your homework these past few days, and I’ll be sure to do so thoroughly later. If it’s not up to standard, well, you know the consequences," Dugu Chen said with a hint of a mischievous smile in his eyes.
Qiqi saw the bad smile in his father’s eyes and felt a twinge of panic, hurrying forward with a flattering smile, "Dad, you’re so tall and powerful, majestic and elegant, suave and charming, how could you possibly compare to a little kid like me? Right?"
Yueyue burst into giggles, her shaking finger pointing at her brother, "Hahaha, that’s so funny! Brother, you can be scared too! Ahahaha, the way you kiss up is hilarious."
