1514 Priest Zhang
After speaking to Little Xiaxia, Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao, who was standing at the side. “I’ll leave your younger siblings to you.”
He had already said everything he needed to say to Xiao Bao that night. Xiao Bao was a very smart child. Jun Shiling knew that Xiao Bao knew what to do.
Ever since Xia Wanyuan left, Xiao Bao had not cried in a long time. However, at this moment, Xiao Bao’s eyes were filled with tears. He tried his best to hold them in. “I know, Daddy. You have to return safely with Mommy.”
Jun Shiling reached out and patted Xiao Bao’s shoulder. “Good boy.”
On the other hand, Bo Xiao looked at An Rao, whose eyes were red, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “Stop crying. If you cry again, I really won’t be able to leave.”
An Rao had always loved to cry. When she cried, Bo Xiao had never been able to resist.
“It’s even better if you don’t leave,” An Rao said, but in fact, she stopped crying and wiped her tears. “You promised me last time that you would bring me out to play. Do you remember?”
After Bo Xiao and An Rao got married, because of the nature of Bo Xiao’s work, the two of them had never held a honeymoon trip. Bo Xiao had once promised An Rao that when he had time, he would bring An Rao to the beautiful places Bo Xiao had once been.
Unfortunately, ever since the two of them got married, all sorts of things had piled up, causing them to have no time to go out at all. Bo Xiao’s previous promise became distant.
“Of course I remember.” A hint of guilt flashed across Bo Xiao’s eyes. He stroked An Rao’s head. “I’m sorry, if not for me.”
Bo Xiao had always felt very guilty towards An Rao. Because of the nature of his work, An Rao had to bear more responsibility alone. He did not spend much time at home, and Xiao Qingli was mostly brought up by An Rao alone.
Because of his position, even An Rao was protected and restricted. In the past, An Rao liked to walk around so much, but now, she was trapped in the few hundred square meters of their house.
An Rao knew what Bo Xiao was going to say. She covered Bo Xiao’s mouth in advance. “Don’t say anything to let me down again. You clearly know that I’m lucky to be able to marry you.”
The happiest thing about living in this world was not how much money one had.
Furthermore, to An Rao, she did not lack money or fame. What she lacked the most was someone who could stand by her side and accompany her no matter where or when.
And Bo Xiao was that person. She was even 100% sure that Bo Xiao would protect her with his life. It was a blessing for her to meet such a person.
Looking at An Rao’s beautiful eyes, a smile appeared in Bo Xiao’s eyes. “Wait for me to return.”
“Okay.” An Rao nodded.
Seeing that An Rao’s eyes were starting to turn red again, Bo Xiao turned around and isolated himself from everyone’s gazes. Then, he pulled An Rao into his arms and transmitted his firm love to her.
There was no need to say anything else. Jun Shiling glanced at Bo Xiao, who had already bade farewell to An Rao. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Jun Shiling and Bo Xiao got into the car together and drove towards the Jun family’s courtyard.
At the entrance of the manor, An Rao held Xiao Bao’s hand. “Baby, Auntie An Rao will definitely take good care of you during this period of time.”
Xiao Bao nodded at An Rao. “Auntie An Rao, do you think Mommy will come back?? Will Daddy come back safely??”
An Rao nodded heavily. “Of course!!! The two of them will come back safely. Don’t worry, Auntie An Rao can predict it.”
The two of them chatted as usual, but they were not fools. Instead of saying this to each other, it was more like comforting themselves.
After An Rao finished speaking, Xiao Bao smiled at her. “Auntie An Rao, I believe you.”
Looking at Xiao Bao, who was so young but had to carry a heavy burden, An Rao’s heart ached. She reached out and stroked Xiao Bao’s head. “Good child, our Xiao Bao is the most obedient.”
Lying in An Rao’s arms, Xiao Bao glanced in the direction Jun Shiling had left. At that moment, there was no trace of the car on that road.
It was already midsummer. Uncle Liu had persuaded him many times, but Old Master Jun was unwilling to leave the sun.
“Old Master, what are you waiting for??” Uncle Liu followed Old Master Jun’s gaze and looked at the entrance of the alley. The entrance of the alley in the afternoon was silent. Other than the chirping of cicadas, there was nothing else.
Old Master Jun was an old man in his seventies or eighties after all. After being under the sun for a while, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
However, he could not care less at this moment. He stared intently at the alley not far away, very certain that someone would definitely come.
Seeing that he could not persuade Old Master, Uncle Liu walked into the house and made a cup of cold tea for him. When he came out with the tea, he happened to see Jun Shiling walking towards the courtyard.
Uncle Liu was about to step forward when he saw Jun Shiling kneel down to Old Master Jun. Uncle Liu stopped in his tracks.
Looking at Jun Shiling kneeling in front of him, Old Master Jun sighed, as if he had instantly aged ten years. “Ah Ling, you’re my only grandson.”
He had raised this child single-handedly. Jun Shiling was smart, decisive, and the most outstanding child in his heart.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry.” Jun Shiling lowered his head. “I’m not asking for your forgiveness.”
“Then why are you begging?” In the end, Old Master Jun could not stand the sun. He supported himself against the wall and sighed deeply.
“I beg you, don’t blame Xia Wanyuan.” Jun Shiling looked up and looked at Old Master Jun seriously. “If she comes back.”
When Jun Shiling said this, Old Master Jun’s heart turned cold. He looked deeply into Jun Shiling’s eyes. After a while, he finally nodded. “I’ve never blamed her. She’s also my proudest granddaughter-in-law.”
After receiving Old Master Jun’s promise, Jun Shiling knelt on the ground and gave Old Master three kowtows. This was a greeting before he bade farewell.
Old Master Jun did not move. He stood there and accepted Jun Shiling’s three kowtows.
Seeing that the time was gradually approaching, Jun Shiling stood up from the ground. “Grandpa, take care.”
Tears flashed in Old Master Jun’s eyes. He walked forward and patted Jun Shiling’s shoulder. “You have to come back safely.”
Jun Shiling nodded. “I’ll remember.”
With that, Jun Shiling was about to leave when a panting person in a Daoist robe ran over from the alley.
That person’s hair and beard were all white, but his face was rosy and he looked a little immortal.
Seeing the person, Old Master Jun’s eyes lit up and he quickly welcomed him. “Priest Zhang, why are you here?? Didn’t you say that you wanted to travel back then?? I’ve been wanting to look for you for the past few years, but I haven’t been able to find you.”
