Chapter 260 The one who loves first always has concerns
"What grandma? Do you mean great-aunt?"
Before Wu Zhao could answer, Wu Xingyun's loud voice rang out from outside.
"puff."
Wu Zhao couldn't help but smile.
"I should be a grandmother by now."
Although she was the great-aunt Wu Xingyun mentioned.
Gu Chen: ...
I suddenly feel a bit itchy to use my hands.
Wu Xingyun, carrying Xiao Xuan under his arm, jogged in, his face still covered in a thin layer of sweat.
He didn't notice the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Xiao Xuan, who was being held by him, was clearly much more relaxed and was struggling under his arm with a smile.
Wu Xingyun approached the dining table and examined the dishes on it.
He took a deep breath.
"It smells so good! I'm starving! Let's eat!"
He said he would take Xiaoxuan to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then he quickly met Qingyao's somewhat resentful gaze.
"Your appearance has come at just the right time!"
Qingyao muttered under his breath, his voice trembling with rage as he finished speaking.
Wu Xingyun: "Huh?"
He didn't hear what Qingyao said clearly, and instead grabbed Xiaoxuan's hand and rubbed it under the tap.
"It's nothing, little one. Would you like some dessert after dinner?"
"We have peach pudding today."
Xiao Xuan waited obediently for Wu Xingyun to wipe his hands, then looked up at him.
"Thank you, Uncle. I like peaches."
His little face was rosy and he looked very cute.
You're welcome, no need to be so polite.
Looking at his face, Qingyao couldn't help but imagine that the children of the family head and Miss Wuzhao would definitely be even cuter in the future.
Holding Xiao Xuan, Wu Xingyun sat down in the dining room, glancing longingly at Wu Zhao and then at Gu Chen.
Neither of them knew how to use chopsticks, and Wu Xingyun simply sat down.
Wu Zhao chuckled, "Since you're hungry, eat. Xiao Xuan is still young, so please keep an eye on him."
Gu Chen felt Wu Xingyun's gaze and nodded.
"Don't worry, I was the one who took care of Nini when she was little."
Wu Xingyun chuckled and first used serving chopsticks to pick up a shrimp for Xiao Xuan.
Because Gu Chen doesn't like shelled foods, the shrimp were all processed.
The perfectly peeled shrimp meat was plump and looked incredibly delicious, coated in Qingyao's specially prepared thick sauce.
"Xiao Xuan, try it! If you like it, I'll get you more."
As Wu Xingyun spoke, he picked up another piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks.
"Have some more vegetables. I saw there was some pork rib soup in the kitchen. I'll have a bowl of it later."
Xiao Xuan is very well-behaved and not picky about food. He will eat whatever food Wu Xingyun puts on his plate.
Their eating manners were also very refined, and they did not appear vulgar at all.
She is a very well-mannered child.
Wu Zhao couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the orphanage that had raised him.
Wu Xingyun was indeed very good at taking care of children; he didn't just force Xiao Xuan to eat more.
"Eat until you're about 70% full, otherwise you won't be able to sleep if you eat too much at night."
Wu Xingyun was very observant. Noticing that Xiao Xuan was eating a little slower, he reminded him.
Xiao Xuan touched her stomach and obediently put down her chopsticks.
"I'm full, Uncle Wu."
He took the napkin that Wu Xingyun handed him and wiped his mouth.
"Have a small bowl of soup."
Qingyao took a small bowl and filled it halfway with pork rib soup.
After watching Xiao Xuan finish his soup, Wu Xingyun said, "Wait for me a moment, let's rest for a while and then go for a walk in the garden."
Xiao Xuan nodded, then said to Gu Chen and Wu Zhao, who were still eating, "Uncle Gu, Sister Wu, I've finished eating."
Gu Chen: ...
Wu Zhao:
"Puff, cough cough cough——"
Wu Xingyun, who was drinking soup, almost spat it all over the table.
He put down the soup bowl, his face flushed red.
"Hahaha, I'm really growing to like you more and more, you little rascal. Why don't you come with me? I'm sure I can raise you better than he can."
Wu Xingyun slammed his fist on the table, causing a vein to bulge on Gu Chen's forehead.
Xiao Xuan was laughing like this for some unknown reason, and his somewhat confused look made Wu Xingyun laugh even louder.
Wu Zhao sighed, "Let's go quickly."
This brat is truly unafraid of Gu Chen now.
Before, they were like mice before a cat, both respectful and fearful of Gu Chen, but now they dare to joke with him.
After he and Xiao Xuan left, Wu Zhao put down his chopsticks.
"He's becoming more and more like you."
Gu Chen suddenly spoke, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Wu Zhao looked up, his expression puzzled: "Like me?"
"Really?" She frowned.
Wu Xingyun's unconventional personality doesn't seem like her at all!
Gu Chen didn't explain, but said softly, "He is indeed very good at taking care of children. Why don't we let him spend more time with Xiao Xuan?"
"Xiao Xuan is a little too shy."
It's less about being shy and more about being timid.
However, Wu Zhao thought it might be because he was suddenly in a different environment and was therefore a little scared.
"Then let Xingyun stay here for a few more days. I'll talk to Shiyu about it."
However, since Xiao Xuan likes Wu Xingyun so much, let them spend a few more days together.
Wu Zhao made the decision happily.
Gu Chen watched her text Wu Shiyu and casually asked, "Do I look old?"
"Hmm? No, maybe you're being too serious and the child is scared... uh."
Wu Zhao answered casually, only raising his head sharply when he realized what was happening.
"You...you still remember Xiao Xuan calling you 'uncle' just now?"
She suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Why has this person suddenly become so calculating?
Gu Chen paused slightly before slowly standing up and walking to Wu Zhao's side.
"Zhaozhao, I just don't want the gap between us to be too big."
"Actually, I'm just an ordinary person who has concerns and worries about the people I like..."
……
The night air was already getting warm.
Wu Zhao stared blankly at the dark sky.
It has been more than half a year since she came here from the Yellow Springs Gate.
The weather gradually changed from slightly cold to somewhat hot.
Her relationship with Gu Chen seemed to have changed, much like the weather.
The atmosphere became somewhat tense as she recalled that she hadn't answered Gu Chen's question in the dining room.
"Love..."
Wu Zhao's expression was somewhat complicated.
She had been asleep for three thousand years, and even before she fell asleep, she had never truly experienced what love was.
The crazy little emperor gave Wu Zhao a very bad feeling, making Wu Zhao even avoid the topic of relationships.
Therefore, Wu Zhao avoided the topic when she learned about Gu Chen's feelings.
However, Gu Chen gave her a very different feeling. Although she was somewhat surprised, she did not dislike Gu Chen's approach.
Is this what liking someone is?
Wu Zhao was a little confused.
She turned the ring on her finger and lowered her eyelids.
The aura of the Yellow Springs Yin Gate was faint, but the connection that came from the depths of her soul convinced Wu Zhao that the seal between her and the Yellow Springs Yin Gate was very close.
"Ugh……"
Wu Zhao shook his head and sighed.
Fine, I'll tell Gu Chen the truth when the time is right!
"Master, I'm back!"
Nar's voice suddenly rang out, and his figure appeared in front of Wu Zhao in the blink of an eye.
"You guessed right, Yan Xuzhe really did end up in the military compound!"
