Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1098: I Don’t Know, Let’s Try

An Jing said, ”Gong Jue Chen probably wouldn’t side with them. If he really wanted Xiyun, back in Nan Shen, he had no need to save Chengyu at all.”

”Hmm.”

”I hope Chengyu can trust him as we do, believing that he doesn’t want Xiyun.”

But Xiao Changyi didn’t respond.

An Jing understood the deep meaning behind Xiao Changyi’s silence, so she didn’t say anything more, simply gave Xiao Changyi a tender smile and whispered softly, ”Let’s sleep, it’s very late.”

”Hmm.”

...

The next day, An Jing and Xiao Changyi dressed the four little ones in their clothes and shoes, then held the children’s hands, ready to leave the master bedroom to have breakfast.

But as soon as they opened the door of the master bedroom, they saw Gong Jue Chen squatting by their door with his knees hugged to his chest, his expression especially pitiful, like a stray dog that nobody wanted.

Upon seeing Gong Jue Chen like this, An Jing and Xiao Changyi immediately thought of Su Chengyu who used to sit at their door with a small stool.

They truly were brothers.

As soon as Gong Jue Chen saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi open the door, he first looked up at them with his pitiful gaze, then rested his chin back on his knees and said in a very sad voice, ”Changyi, Jingjing, I’m in a bad mood.”

”And then?” An Jing asked.

”You should make me a meal yourselves. I’ve already had breakfast, so just make lunch, and the more dishes the better. It would be best to call Lanlan and Jade Jade over as well; seeing their pretty faces, I might be able to eat a lot.”

”...” An Jing was silent, but still asked, ”Eating the food we make will cheer you up?”

”Don’t know, let’s try,” Gong Jue Chen answered nonchalantly.

An Jing felt speechless.

Xiao Changyi couldn’t be bothered with Gong Jue Chen and was about to leave with An Jing and the children.

However, the children felt great sympathy for Gong Jue Chen, clutching An Jing’s and Xiao Changyi’s trousers and saying in their babyish voices, ”Daddy, Mummy, Uncle Chenchen looks so pitiable, like a little unwanted dog.”

”Woof woof,” Gong Jue Chen even cooperated by barking twice.

An Jing: ”...”

Xiao Changyi: ”...”

But the four little ones were amused and immediately let go of An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s trousers. Instead, they gathered around Gong Jue Chen, giggling and asking him to bark again.

”Woof woof,” Gong Jue Chen complied crisply with the four little ones’ request.

The four little ones asked Gong Jue Chen to bark again.

And Gong Jue Chen really did bark again.

In the end, the laughter nearly took the children’s breath away: ”Daddy, Mummy, Uncle Chenchen is so much fun.”

”Only your Uncle Chenchen would play with you like this,” An Jing said, with a smile as she gently patted the little ones’ heads, then turned to look at Gong Jue Chen still squatting like an unwanted big dog, and said, ”Alright, we’ll make it for you, no need to keep pretending.”

Gong Jue Chen immediately sprang up from the ground, not a hint of the pitiful expression remaining, instead cheerfully said, ”Then I’ll just wait for lunch!”

An Jing looked outside at the early morning sky: ”Don’t you think it’s too early to wait now?”

”Not early at all,” Gong Jue Chen continued with a playful grin, ”after all, I have nothing else to do.”

An Jing: ”...” The, words, really, do, make, sense!

However, considering the twenty years of pain and misunderstanding Gong Jue Chen had suffered, both An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t bother to argue with him.

In fact, they truly did as Gong Jue Chen wished and had someone call over Meng Lan Qing and Tobanya – two great beauties – to attend the lunch table.
