Chapter 1106: Chapter 1112: One Day?
The children at the farmhouse were plentiful, and the two kids had a blast playing together until after dinner when they finally remembered it was time to head home.
Having played so hard during the day, they fell into a deep sleep shortly after getting in the car.
Looking at the children’s innocent sleeping faces, Tan Zhenghong asked, "Do you think we should shield them from these upsetting matters?"
Children of that age should be innocent and carefree, but his two seemed to know too much.
If things continued this way, would they still be able to have a happy childhood?
"They’ll have to become independent sooner or later, and if this issue is resolved smoothly, it won’t be an upsetting matter anymore,"
Qiao Duo’er shared her thoughts.
She always believed that only those with high emotional intelligence could achieve happiness, and emotional intelligence was something developed over time.
Moreover, it was now the time for the children to establish their principles, to know what was right and what was wrong.
Merely talking about it wasn’t enough; they had to be involved in the process.
"That’s true. Once they grow up, we can enjoy our time as a couple again,"
Tan Zhenghong calculated that the children should be able to stand on their own feet by the age of ten. By then, both he and Duo’er would be under thirty, with plenty of beautiful times ahead.
He hoped that day would come soon!
Back at the inn, Duo’er settled the children in bed and got some water to wipe them down.
They had sweat a lot today, and they would need another bath once they woke up.
Qiao Duo’er had just finished wiping down the children, but Tan Zhenghong, who went to another room to get clothes, hadn’t returned. She covered the children with a blanket and prepared to go check on him.
The moment she opened the door, the County Magistrate’s voice came to an abrupt halt.
Qiao Duo’er swore she hadn’t intended to eavesdrop; it’s just that her hearing was too good, and she had overheard most of the County Magistrate’s conversation.
Tan Zhenghong was becoming more impressive by the day, with confidantes in every place, and astonishingly one of them was a maidservant bought by Yue Ming from Hua Building.
Isn’t that taste a bit too much?
The County Magistrate sneaked a glance at Tan Zhenghong, feeling a chill down his spine at that moment.
He guessed that Master Tan must have been a previous patron of that woman, and Mrs. Tan would surely make a big scene.
If he had known that Madam would suddenly appear, he wouldn’t have mentioned it even if it was tied to his neck.
"Master Tan, I’ll take my leave now," the County Magistrate quickly bid farewell.
Tan Zhenghong was exasperated. Couldn’t he have cleared things up before leaving?
"Another confidante?" Qiao Duo’er gave Tan Zhenghong a piercing look.
Tan Zhenghong’s head shook like a rattle-drums, "No, absolutely not, this must be a misunderstanding."
"From Hua Building?" "That means you’ve been to Hua Building so often you can’t even remember which one."
"I’ve really never been!"
"I’m truly wronged! I have no idea who Lord Tao is talking about!"
Tan Zhenghong felt like crying; he didn’t even know the woman’s name, and Lord Tao hadn’t had the chance to say it.
"Then what does she want with you? As the saying goes, ’Even a day-old marriage has a hundred days’ grace.’ She must be hoping you’ll look kindly upon your past relationship and possibly even rekindle what you had." 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
As Qiao Duo’er closed in, Tan Zhenghong found himself backed against a wall with nowhere to retreat.
With a look of grievance, Tan Zhenghong said, "One day amounts to a hundred days of grace? Considering how many times we’ve been together, that accounts for a lifetime. How can you not have the slightest trust in me?"
His heart and his body recognized only Qiao Duo, impossible to be involved with anyone else.
Qiao Duo’s face turned red all of a sudden; she meant ’one day’ literally, so why did it become ’one time’ when it came to Tan Zhenghong?
They were discussing a serious topic; could he avoid making off-color jokes?
