203: Attend an auction
The next day, dawn.
A ray of sunlight poured in through the window.
After a night of adjustment, Chen Tianming's condition had improved significantly.
After changing his clothes, he came straight down.
Qu Huaixuan was already up, busy in the kitchen.
Chen Tianming hugged her from behind.
“Stop it.”
Qu Huaixuan reminded him in a low voice.
A blush also appeared on her face.
“What, can't I?”
“Qu Wan'er is already awake. It would be hard to explain if the child saw us.”
The more Qu Huaixuan spoke, the more obvious the blush on her face became.
However, her hands didn't stop for a moment.
In a few swift movements, she put the eggs into the pan.
“Really?”
Chen Tianming subconsciously looked towards the living room TV.
But he didn't see Qu Wan'er's figure.
Usually, the first thing Qu Wan'er did after waking up was to rush to the TV to watch the morning children's programs.
But she was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Tianming suddenly felt a little curious.
“Where is she?”
“She should be in Chen Yun's room.”
Although Qu Huaixuan was already asleep when Chen Tianming returned yesterday, Chen Yun, who was doing his morning exercises, was still seen by the mother and daughter.
“I originally planned for Qu Wan'er and I to move out after you arranged a place for us, but now that there's suddenly an Older Brother in the house, the child is making a fuss and refuses to leave.”
Older Brother.
Hearing this title, Chen Tianming actually found it a little funny.
Chen Yun was currently only a little over a month old.
If it weren't for his spiritual power, he wouldn't have grown so rapidly.
However, judging from his current physique, he could indeed be Qu Wan'er's Older Brother.
“Isn't that good? It's much easier for children to get along, and besides…”
Chen Tianming's lips gently approached Qu Huaixuan's ear.
His breath at this moment swirled around her ear.
It made one's heart itch, yet they couldn't grasp it.
“You are mine, why do you always think about moving out?”
The kitchen was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Qu Huaixuan no longer had the mind to cook.
She could only endure, and first shoo Chen Tianming out of the kitchen.
Soon, the aroma of a meal wafted out.
Chen Tianming couldn't bear to tease her anymore.
He immediately went to the courtyard.
“Wow, you're amazing, Older Brother Chen Yun.”
As soon as he stepped out, he heard Qu Wan'er's voice full of exclamation.
Looking at Chen Yun, he had also temporarily restrained his spiritual power.
With the spiritual energy recovery now, cultivating was the best choice.
Moreover, Chen Yun's body had only just recovered.
He still needed to practice diligently to improve.
“It's not enough yet.”
Chen Yun muttered.
“Your basic physical fitness is too poor; you still need to train to control the Qi within your body.”
Suddenly, Chen Tianming's voice came from behind.
Qu Wan'er reacted first.
Her big, watery eyes were filled with smiles.
“Daddy, is this Older Brother going to live with us from now on?”
As Qu Wan'er spoke, she immediately pounced into Chen Tianming's arms.
“Mommy said a few days ago that she wanted to take Qu Wan'er back, but now that Older Brother Chen Yun is here, Qu Wan'er doesn't want to leave.”
Looking at the little girl's delicate appearance, Chen Tianming smiled and gently picked her up.
“This is your home; you can stay as long as you like.”
A joyful smile immediately appeared on the little girl's face.
The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy.
“Mommy has already prepared the meal; hurry and change your clothes and come out to eat.”
Chen Tianming put Qu Wan'er back on the ground.
This little one was still wearing her pajamas.
She must have been so happy to see Chen Yun that she forgot everything else.
Qu Wan'er immediately nodded and went back to her room.
Chen Tianming, meanwhile, turned to look at Chen Yun.
“Next time you want to cultivate, just tell me. It's hard to say if anyone is watching when you're out in the open like this.”
Chen Yun immediately nodded.
Chen Tianming reached out and gently stroked his head twice.
His eyes were full of affection.
This child had a temperament very similar to his own.
Although Chen Tianming couldn't pinpoint exactly where the similarity lay, he just felt a sense of closeness.
“Alright, go wash your hands and get ready to eat.”
The father and son turned and went inside.
The house was exceptionally lively today.
Qu Huaixuan specifically made a few extra dishes.
At this moment, she was full of affection, picking dishes for Qu Wan'er.
At this moment, footsteps came from upstairs.
It was Wan Yue coming down.
Chen Yun, who was originally sitting at the dining table eating, suddenly had his expression darken.
His eyes just stared at Wan Yue.
How strange.
Yesterday, when Chen Yun saw Wan Yue, his expression wasn't very good either.
However, there were still a lot of unfinished matters yesterday, so Chen Tianming didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that he saw it again, he couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Wan Yue also noticed Chen Yun's strange gaze.
However, she didn't take it to heart; instead, she sat down and enjoyed her lovely breakfast.
There was no need to be too serious with a child.
Chen Yun didn't speak.
Instead, he lowered his head, carefully savoring the food in front of him.
He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Throughout breakfast, Chen Yun didn't speak again.
Instead, his expression was solemn.
Even when Qu Wan'er picked food for him, Chen Yun didn't respond at all.
“What's wrong with Older Brother?”
Qu Wan'er blinked her eyes.
She couldn't understand why Chen Yun, who had been playing so harmoniously with her in the courtyard just now, had suddenly become distant.
Chen Tianming gently comforted her.
“Older Brother is a little tired; he can play with you after he rests for a bit.”
Saying this, Chen Tianming turned to look at Chen Yun.
“Come with me for a moment.”
Chen Yun nodded.
He immediately followed Chen Tianming upstairs.
“What's going on?”
Chen Tianming didn't like beating around the bush.
He asked directly.
“Why are you looking at Wan Yue with such a strange gaze? Have you seen her before?”
Chen Yun's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
“I couldn't be mistaken about that face; the person in my memory is her.”
As Chen Yun spoke, his heart surged with emotion.
“It was too late last night, and the light was dim, so I couldn't see clearly. But just now, I saw it clearly; it's that face.”
“What? Are you saying the person in your memory is Wan Yue?”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Tianming's brows furrowed tightly.
But he couldn't be certain that this matter was related to Wan Yue.
Wan Yue's memory hadn't fully recovered yet.
Moreover, she still had divine essence fragments that hadn't been recovered.
However, no matter what the outcome.
It was all the same to Chen Tianming.
Chen Yun was a person who had been reborn.
What happened in his previous memories would likely come true one by one in the future.
This meant that in the future, someone would kill his woman, steal his son, and eventually even kill Chen Yun.
How could he tolerate such a thing?
“Don't worry, with me here, you won't be in danger. This time, I will definitely protect you and your mother well and never let the tragedy unfold.”
A glimmer of joy flashed in Chen Yun's eyes, “I understand.”
