283: Happiness

Happiness

On the urban village's dilapidated and narrow street, Huo You, who was wearing expensive clothes, looked out of place. The passersby subconsciously looked at her, many of them with malicious gazes.2

Huo You quickly noticed other people's gazes. She didn't want to stay too long nor meet her neighbors from the past, so she left in a hurry.

Just like the time when she found her true identity, Huo You fled from the urban village in a hurry. However, this time, she had no direction to go.

Although the Ding Family's small house had four people staying in it now, it was always on the quieter side during the day.

It was because Xi Cheng and Ding Chen both had their own work to do. When Ding Rong's tailor shop was not busy, she would go out with Xi Cheng sometimes. If the tailor shop was busy, or if Huo Tian was at home, she would stay at home.

This was also why Huo You hadn't seen anyone other than Huo Tian and Ding Rong when she came to the Ding Family.

In the evening, Xi Cheng arrived home before Ding Chen.

As soon as he got home, he headed straight for the kitchen. When he saw the back of the woman who was busy at work in the kitchen, he couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

He walked over and wrapped his arm around the woman's slender waist. The arm that suddenly appeared on her waist gave Ding Rong a shock.

After so many surprise attacks, her reaction wasn't as big as the first time. She only patted the back of the man's hand helplessly and said reproachfully, "Aren't you childish? You always like to scare me like this."

Xi Cheng could not help but laugh when he recalled the first time he had hugged Ding Rong from behind and how Ding Rong had almost hacked his head with a kitchen knife. "At least this time, I'm prepared to be able to catch a blade with my bare hands at any time and snatch the weapon in your hands."

Ding Rong could not help but laugh too. She rolled her eyes at Xi Cheng and said, "I almost hacked your head, yet you're still joking about this."

"Because it's not your fault. I was the one who had accidentally frightened you." Xi Cheng rested his head on Ding Rong's neck and watched as Ding Rong skillfully washed and cut the vegetables. He took a deep breath and sniffed the gentle and tranquil scent on Ding Rong's body. He sighed and said, "Rongrong, I'm really too happy."

Ding Rong's cheeks turned a little red. She was a little embarrassed and patted the back of Xi Cheng's hand again. "Alright, alright, I understand. Don't cause trouble here. Go find Tiantian. She probably has something to tell you."

Xi Cheng leaned over and planted a soft kiss on Ding Rong's cheek. Then, he left the kitchen and went to the small workshop on the second floor to find Huo Tian, who was fiddling with a part.

Xi Cheng knocked on the door. Huo Tian said without looking up, "Please come in."

After getting permission, Xi Cheng walked in and leaned against the work table as he asked, "Tiantian, your mother said that you have something to tell me?"

Huo Tian looked up at Xi Cheng blankly. She thought about it for a long while before she recalled what it was. "Oh right, I do have something to tell Dad."

Huo Tian put down the part she was fiddling with and casually wiped off the black motor oil on her hands. She said, "Huo You came to look for me today. Oh, Huo You is the girl I was mistakenly switched with. Her parents asked her to come to me to apologize and ask for my forgiveness. They also wanted the invitation to the banquet."

Xi Cheng frowned slightly. Clearly, he did not want to talk about the despicable couple either. "I remember you telling me yesterday that you wanted to ask for a few invitations for your brother. Why did they get Huo You to apologize to you again?"

"I asked Huo Feng just now. He said that his parents found out about my true identity and immediately forced Huo You to come to apologize to me. Huo You left the house after being slapped last night, so he didn't have the time to tell Huo You about this."
