Chapter 609: I’ll Take You Home
Su Yu took the cloth and carefully wiped Xiao Xue’s mouth, then glanced outside: "It’s getting late, I’ll take you back."
Xiao Xue peeked outside from Su Yu’s arms, seeing that it was already dark. If she didn’t return home soon, Mother would definitely be angry!
But...
Xiao Xue looked up at Su Yu. She couldn’t let Daddy take her back! If Daddy took her back, wouldn’t their secret be exposed?
Xiao Xue hesitated with her two little hands for a moment but sensibly said to Su Yu: "No need, no need, I can go back by myself. I know the way!"
Su Yu picked her up and walked towards the outside.
Xiao Xue was a bit flustered, clinging to Su Yu’s shoulder, her little face scrunched up like a bun. What to do? It would be terrible if Mother found out!
But she was so reluctant to leave Daddy’s embrace!
When they reached outside the hall, they saw Xiao Han still standing in the courtyard. Su Yu paused slightly and said in a clear voice, "Why are you still here?"
Xiao Xue turned her head to look at Xiao Han: "Big brother, sorry, you should go back first. I have to go home too. Thank you for today!"
Xiao Han looked up at the two, somewhat dumbfounded.
Then he nodded blankly.
Su Yu carrying Xiao Xue walked past him, and Xiao Han quickly followed them out of the barrier of Liuyun Hall.
Then stood there watching their backs disappear.
He suddenly realized something. He finally understood what that strange feeling was and remembered why the Sect Leader seemed somewhat familiar. Just now, the Sect Leader held Xiao Xue, standing there. Although it was dark and the lights in Liuyun Hall were not too strong, he still saw clearly... Those two faces were obviously very similar!
At least seven parts similar! Especially the eyes...
One with deep ink green, the other as clear as water’s blue, but the color of their eyes and their appearances had similarities. Isn’t this enough to explain the issue?
Xiao Han stood dumbfounded under the old pine tree outside Liuyun Hall, suddenly feeling a bit lost in the wind. Had he discovered something?
Su Yu carried Xiao Xue to the island at the center of Jingluo Lake. Han Jing had sent An Chuxue and Ting Luo away to rest. She was alone, moving a deck chair to lie in the barren garden outside the hall, waiting for that heartless little thing, Xiao Xue.
It was already dark. If she didn’t come back soon, Han Jing would have to find a way to look for her.
Could having a meal take this long?
Han Jing was somewhat irked.
She lay on the deck chair, squinting her eyes. Suddenly, hearing a slight noise, she instinctively jumped off the chair and yelled without looking: "You heartless little thing, where did you go to eat, you’re finally coming back!"
Xiao Xue, lying in Su Yu’s arms, couldn’t help but cover her face, turning away as she looked at her mother’s improper demeanor.
Only then did Han Jing see Su Yu holding Xiao Xue.
...
Two words roared through her heart, Holy—Shit!
Her gaze fell on Su Yu’s familiar face, and her breath momentarily caught. They had once been so intimate, yet now they stared at each other like strangers, afraid and unable to step closer.
She slightly lowered her eyes, only adding a bit of sternness in her voice, "Are you not coming down!"
Stupid maid, I’ll deal with you later, the words I said to you just moments ago have gone in one ear and out the other, haven’t they?!
Xiao Xue, sensing the subtle threat from her mother, quickly slipped out of Su Yu’s arms and ran off.
