Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Why So Cowardly? _1
Tang Zhou gathered trendous courage to reach the front gate of the villa, hearing Ye Xingguang’s excited voice before he even entered.
Song Chuanqi, Bai Lanwu, and Leng Chenmo did not speak. They just looked at each other.
The truth of the matter had actually been tacitly admitted by the three of them when the first paternity test results ca out. This second paternity test felt like they had been floating in a haze, afraid they were dreaming. Now, their fears were finally assuaged and their hearts were finally grounded.
Bai Peiluan pulled Ye Baixiu away, feeling there was no further need for her to be involved at this mont. It was a ti for the family of three to be together. Yet, she truly was happy for her sister. As she walked out, her face was lit up with a smile.
Bai Lanwu, having wiped away her tears for what seed like forever, didn’t know what to do next, “Chenmo, are you hungry? Should I make you so food?”
“No need, it’s pretty late. You and…you both should get so rest.”
Leng Chenmo’s throat tightened, the words ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ stuck in his throat, unable to co out. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to call them, it’s just…he couldn’t. At this mont, he missed Tang Zhou. If Zhou were here, he’d definitely help him ease this discomfort.
Leng Chenmo said, “I’ll co to see you both in the morning.”
“Then…what do you want for breakfast tomorrow? Tell in advance.”
“I’m not picky. Whatever’s available. Either rice porridge or eggs is fine.”
“Hmm, hmm,” Bai Lanwu replied twice.
Leng Chenmo, looking at the unfinished ga of Go, said to Song Chuanqi, “We’ll continue tomorrow.”
“Alright,” Song Chuanqi actually didn’t want his son to leave at this hour.
Leng Chenmo got up, unable to cope with the situation. Remaining in silence would have been hard for both, better to let them rest early, especially since his father had just undergone major surgery days ago. Rest was at the utmost importance right now.
“Bro, this is for you.” Ye Xingguang took out a diamond from his pocket and handed it to Leng Chenmo.
Leng Chenmo looked at the diamond, “What’s this?”
“It’s called ‘Light of Luck.’ Tang Zhou really wanted it. He’d been making a fuss about how much he loved it. Take it and make an engagent ring to propose to Tang Zhou. Don’t refuse, alright? After all, I’ve hogged mom and dad’s love for so many years. These affections were originally yours. Now, consider it as your little sister’s gift to welco you. I hope you’ll accept as your sister,” Ye Xingguang said earnestly.
Leng Chenmo accepted the ‘Light of Luck’ and nodded.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Tang Zhou standing in the moonlight, looking exceptionally gallant in the late hours. Even his hair seed to have been carefully styled.
He descended the stairs and walked toward Tang Zhou, asking, “How about so late-night snacks together?”
Tang Zhou, deep in his thoughts, absentmindedly asked, “What do you feel like eating?”
“Barbecue or hot pot works.”
No one knew more about the best late-night eateries in the city than Tang Zhou, a food lover who often indulged in late-night feasts, “How about barbecue? I know a great place called ‘Heavenly Palace.’ Their midnight barbecue is excellent, and it’s on the rooftop of a building. Enjoying barbecue under the moonlight is quite special. But we have to grill it ourselves. Do you want to go?”
Leng Chenmo nodded, put his arm around Tang Zhou’s shoulders, and said, “Let’s go. You can drive.”
Tang Zhou felt the force of Leng Chenmo’s arm on his shoulder. Although Ji Qishu also often slung his arm around his shoulder, Leng Chenmo’s felt different. It made Tang Zhou want to confess his secret several tis, but each ti the words nearly slipped out, he swallowed them back. He didn’t know why he was being so hesitant.
