Arc 6 – Slag that Little Wolfhound
Chapter 142

Very soon, Wen Yu left.

The southern branch was more than 300 kilometres away and it would take a few hours to reach there by car. Although it didn’t sound very far, it was still in another city so the Wen Family probably wouldn’t see Wen Yu for the next six months.

In this regard, the children didn’t have much of an issue. After all, they were all used to long partings like this and what’s more, half a year wasn’t long. Wen Yu would be back before they knew it.

The children managed to accept this fact very easily, but Chi Zhao couldn’t maintain such a steady state of mind.

Ever since Wen Yu’s departure, Chi Zhao had become a lot more silent and he would also have a frown on his face, looking like he was thinking about something serious.

The others could see that Chi Zhao’s mood wasn’t right, but none asked about it. To them, when Wen Xijun is unhappy, it wasn’t a big deal but if the reason for Wen Xijun’s unhappiness was themselves, then it was a big problem.

…

One or two heart-warming actions didn’t mean that Wen Xijun’s heart had changed. In the past, Wen Xijun would also occasionally do things that didn’t conform to his personality, but it was later revealed that every one of Wen Xijun’s actions were done in his own best interest.

Merchants wouldn’t get up early if it is not profitable. This line fit very well with Wen Xijun’s actions.

The others still maintained strong vigilance towards the current Wen Xijun, even Wen Yu was like that. He was aware that he may have fallen for Wen Xijun but so what? Even if he liked him, he had no intentions to pursue him, let alone lower his defences and give up his heart.

His initial thoughts haven’t changed. He still wanted to see Wen Xijun kneel in front of him, but the way of kneeling and the location had undergone some changes.

Almost a month had passed. Everyone had gradually became accustomed to the taciturn Wen Xijun. In fact, there was no need for them to get used to it because it was only like they were going back to how it was in the past.

Basically no one dared to bother this big boss who was in a bad mood, all except for one person.

The city the Wen Family was in was spring all year round and would rarely have bad weather. It was one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Chi Zhao sat on an outdoor swing chair in the front garden with a book in his hand. He had sat there for more than an hour but the book in his had only turned a few pages.

Wen Xi quietly sat down next to him. Noticing that there was an extra weight on the swing chair, he looked over. Seeing that it was Wen Xi, Chi Zhao closed his book and asked, “Need something?”

Ever since returning from the Jiang Family’s cocktail party, Wen Xi’s attitude towards Chi Zhao had changed. It wasn’t very obvious, but she would occasionally look at Chi Zhao with bright eyes, as if she really liked him.

Chi Zhao also understood that his actions that day had probably created a heroic image in this young girl’s heart. If it were before, Chi Zhao would be happy to see this outcome because he truly regarded these children as his own. If they liked him, it would give him a great sense of accomplishment.

But now, Chi Zhao regretted it a little.

He shouldn’t have changed Wen Xijun’s image in these children’s hearts so quickly.

If Wen Yu really was just an ordinary protagonist and not the person he thought he was, there was no reason for him to stay here anymore.

The original plot had been disrupted and the plot following on from here could no longer be played out by Chi Zhao. In any case, he couldn’t do something like sending a young girl to a pervert’s bed and if the protagonist wasn’t that person, he wouldn’t fall in love with him again and therefore he would no longer be abused. The plot unable to continue and unable to get abuse points, there really was no reason for him to stay in this world.

Then why was he staying here? It would be better to die early and move on.

…….

As such, Wen Xijun should ‘disappear’, but no matter how he disappears, it would bring great harm to these children, especially Wen Xi.

Chi Zhao sighed. He then heard Wen Xi ask, “Father, the courses you have given me will be completed next month. If I pass them all….can I ask for a reward from you?”

Wen Xi asked this very cautiously. Chi Zhao was stunned. He then remembered that Wen Xi was about to finish her undergraduate coursework and when she reaches thirteen, she will be starting her master’s degree.

……Even the youngest child in the family already has a higher education than the father who has not graduated from university.

Chi Zhao nodded silently, “What do you want?”

“I want father to take me out to play.”

Chi Zhao had thought that it would be a very valuable reward but, in the end, it was just this. But even this request was difficult to agree to.

If he agreed now, when he leaves in the future and is unable to do it, wouldn’t it become the legendary death flag………?

The young girl was still wanting for his answer, her clear eyes staring fixatedly at him. Chi Zhao was silent for several seconds and in the end, he could only answer ambiguously, “If there is time.”

Wen Xijun’s words were gold. He would never back out from a promise he had made. As such, when she heard those words of his, Wen Xi’s eyes lit up, “Thank you father. Then father, can I choose the location myself?”

Chi Zhao was a little puzzled. He didn’t seem to have explicitly agreed but why did Wen Xi look so happy?

After nodding slightly, the smile on Wen Xi’s face grew bigger. The Wen Xi right now still had some baby fat on her cheeks but even if she hadn’t fully developed yet, Chi Zhao could tell that she would be a beauty when she is older.

No wonder that pervert had his eyes on Wen Xi. She really is beautiful.

Getting the promise she wanted, Wen Xi soon left. On the way back, she ran into Wen Hu. She stopped, raised her head and exchanged a few words with Wen Hu. Chi Zhao sat too far away so he couldn’t hear what Wen Xi was talking about, but he could see the expression on Wen Hu’s face.

Wen Hu listened patiently to Wen Xi and when she was done speaking, he smiled and patted her head. The two then continued to walk in opposite directions.

The direction Wen Hu was heading in was Chi Zhao’s direction.

From the distance, Chi Zhao could see Wen Hu’s peach eyes looking his way. Very soon, Wen Hu arrived before him, but he didn’t sit beside him like Wen Xi did and instead sat opposite him.

A lot of orchids were planted next to the swing. These were the kinds famous for their delicate fragrance. A large patch of orchids slowly swayed with the breeze, the wind carrying along its scent. Sitting here, it helped improve one’s mood.

Wen Hu seemed to also feel this way. He turned his head and looked at the sea of flowers close at hand and then said with a smile, “A’Xi just told me that you promised to take her out to play next month. She even reassured us that she will choose a place that is suitable for the whole family to go.”

Wen Xi didn’t mention anything about travelling as a whole family earlier and Chi Zhao had thought that he was just taking her out alone. It was estimated that she was afraid that Chi Zhao wouldn’t want to go out with so many people, so she had hidden that information.

At such a young age, she has already learnt to deceive someone.

 Chi Zhao only complained about it inside and didn’t express his opinion. Wen Hu turned his head back, his eyes moving back from the sea of flowers to Chi Zhao’s face, “Actually, we’re taking turns. A’Xi mainly wants you to relax.”

Chi Zhao lowered his eyes, “I know.”

Wen Xi wasn’t the type who liked to go out to play. Her personality had been nurtured by Wen Xijun into: quiet, curious, strange. Those were her labels.

Hearing Chi Zhao’s answer, Wen Hu didn’t show any surprise. He placed his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together and his knuckles supported his chin.

Wen Hu was a very sophisticated-looking young man. Today, he wore a well-fitted brown shirt made of soft fabric, helping him emphasise that characteristic.

He looked very harmless like this. He looked at Chi Zhao’s eyes and said softly, “My brothers and sisters have been wondering about this these days, but they don’t dare ask. I also want to know but I don’t know if you will tell me.”

Ever since that night when Chi Zhao helped make a bowl of noodles for Wen Hu, Wen Hu’s attitude towards him had changed and even the way he referred to him had changed. Although there was no particular problems with his actions, Chi Zhao felt that this Wen Hu seemed to no longer regard him as an elder.

Chi Zhao was silent. Wen Hu also didn’t expect a response from him. He looked at Chi Zhao inquiringly, “What is the reason for your unhappiness?”

Wen Hu’s peach eyes were too lethal. It made Chi Zhao feel uncomfortable being stared at like that. He turned his head to break off the eye contact. Wen Hu naturally noticed that he was trying to escape and create a distance between them. He slowly lowered his eyes and voiced out a guess of his.

“Is it because of A’Yu?”

The Chi Zhao in front of him didn’t show any reaction. Wen Hu couldn’t tell if his guess was correct. After a short pause, Wen Hu changed his sitting position and his voice became a little more frivolous, “I envy A’Yu. If I have seen right, you have always liked A’Yu, and you also like A’Yu the most.”

Chi Zhao still didn’t show any reaction, as if he didn’t hear him.

After a pause, Wen Hu continued, “A’Yu also seems to like you a lot too.”

Chi Zhao’s eyes wavered slightly.

With a light chuckle, Wen Hu added, “But A’Yu is someone who flits between extremes, and he is also stubborn. He may like you now but the next second it can change into hatred.”

He was speaking the truth and because it was the truth, Chi Zhao found it hard to listen to. He turned his head back and looked at Wen Hu expressionlessly, “And you?”

“Don’t you also dislike me?”

Wen Hu shook his head, “Not the same.”

“How is it not the same?”

Wen Hu smiled faintly, “If you can always be like this, then I will like you.”

“And I will like you a lot.”

When he said the last line, Wen Hu’s tone changed slightly. He seemed to be very serious, but he also seemed to be joking. It was very difficult to tell.
