Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 628: Arriving at Loka Town (2)

Xuxu saw it in her eyes and grasped his hand tightly, "I’ll be back soon, don’t worry."

Dugu Chen indeed gave a bittersweet smile and gently kissed the wisps of hair by her ear, "I know, I’ll wait for you."

"Come on, what’s this, it’s not like I’m never coming back, making it out to be some tragic love story. Get up, I’m hungry." If this continues, we certainly won’t be able to leave today. The sooner we go, the sooner we come back, early in the morning or late at night.

"I’ll help my lady get dressed."

Xuxu turned her head to look at him with a smile, "Alright, today I’ll enjoy the care of my husband."

"If my lady likes it, I could dress you every day." Taking out the clothes he’d prepared the night before and gently helping her dress, layer by layer. After she was dressed, he carefully checked her over. Finding nothing amiss, he then allowed her to go and wash up.

Only after watching his lady disappear behind the screen did he quickly dress himself and follow closely behind her to wash up together.

After washing up, the big table in the side hall was already set with breakfast. Just as they sat down, two shadows darted into the hall entrance, one on each side of Xuxu, "Mom, I’ll eat with you."

"Mom~."

Xuxu, touching her daughter’s hair, surprisingly asked her, "You’re usually the talkative one, how come you’re silent today?"

"You make it sound like someone’s got a parched tongue, brother said everything I would have," Yueyue pouted, her hand clutching Xuxu’s long dress.

Qiqi just glanced at his sister and said nothing. Dugu Chen looked at the two little ones with a pitiable look, swallowing the bitter tears in his heart, "Your mother is hungry, let’s eat quickly, then we’ll send your mother out of the city."

"Oh," both of them replied faintly, letting go of their mother’s dress, picked up the porridge Aunt Yingsu had served, and ate tastelessly.

Dugu Chen kept putting food on her plate, reminding her, "It’s cold, eat more, so you can withstand the chill on the road."

"You eat too." Extending her chopsticks, she picked up a soup dumpling for him and said with a light smile, "You forgot, I’m riding in the Dragon Carriage, how could it be drafty? It even has a small red clay stove for heating inside."

"I really did forget." He picked up the soup dumpling from the plate and ate it tastelessly.

Breakfast was much slower than usual, and looking up, he saw Lou Qianyu’s guard pacing anxiously back and forth at the entrance of the hall. Feng Xuxu let out a soft sigh, "Alright, I’m full too. You two must be good and obey dad and your tutor, understand?"

"We understand, mom, we’ll be good," they replied.

Xuxu touched their little faces reluctantly, rising gracefully. Dugu Chen took the cloak from Yingsu’s hand, draping it over his lady. Feng Xuxu, holding Yueyue and Qiqi’s little hands, with Dugu Chen following behind, the family of four exited the hall.

"Go back to your master, we are setting off now."

The guard hastily bowed his head in response, "Yes, I’ll go immediately." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Watching his quick steps, Xuxu silently laughed, knowing he was eager to get back. His eager mood was apparent, with even the smile not leaving his lips. Turning to look at the Dragon Carriage approaching from afar, it drew closer and finally came to a halt right in front of her.

The two children stepped into the Dragon Carriage one step at a time, following the stirrup. She followed behind them, and the last to enter was Dugu Chen. The family of four sat in the large carriage, wordlessly, and soon the Dragon Carriage reached the entrance of the Imperial Palace. At the palace gate, they saw Lou Qianyu, who had been waiting there since early morning.

Two carriages set off, one after the other, exiting the palace gate and quickly heading towards the western city gate. The Dragon Carriage stopped at the West Gate. Dugu Chen clasped her warm little hands tightly, swallowing the unwillingness in his heart, but at that moment he had to let go, looking deeply into her eyes, "Don’t worry, I will take good care of the children."
