Chapter 806: Chapter 802: Stay Behind

After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Xueying emerged from the kitchen, carrying several bowls of fragrant dishes.

"Chen Yang, sorry to keep you waiting. I got off work a bit late today, which delayed things," Zhang Xueying said apologetically.

"No problem, it was just a short wait." Chen Yang smiled faintly, not minding the small matter.

As he looked at the slightly exhausted Zhang Xueying, a trace of empathy flashed in his eyes.

Knowing it was just the two of them tonight, Chen Yang stood up and directly embraced Zhang Xueying.

Zhang Xueying, startled by Chen Yang’s sudden hug, froze for a moment.

"You’ve worked hard, Xueying."

Before she could react, Chen Yang leaned in and whispered in her ear.

Zhang Xueying felt as if she were melting on the spot, and her entire body leaned into Chen Yang’s arms.

"It’s not hard, Chen Yang. It’s just a meal—no big deal," Zhang Xueying said, moved.

Chen Yang knew he had been too busy lately, neglecting Zhang Xueying and Xiaoxiao, and hadn’t visited for quite some time.

Feeling guilty, he held Zhang Xueying in his arms for quite a while.

Once Zhang Xueying had composed herself, the two finally let go of each other.

"Chen Yang, let’s eat now. The food will get cold, and it won’t taste as good," Zhang Xueying said.

"Alright, let’s eat first."

Chen Yang nodded and led Zhang Xueying to sit at the dining table together.

Zhang Xueying initially planned to sit beside Chen Yang, but he gently tugged her, indicating for her to sit on his lap.

Her cheeks turned bright red instantly. Although their relationship had reached that level, their time together had still been scarce.

That was why Zhang Xueying felt shy.

Nonetheless, despite her embarrassment, she didn’t hesitate and settled onto his lap, leaning into Chen Yang’s embrace.

Thinking about it, it had been quite some time since they last spent time together, so they had plenty to talk about.

During the meal, Chen Yang talked a lot about Xiaoxiao’s recent activities.

As Xiaoxiao came up, Zhang Xueying also had much to share. She updated Chen Yang on Xiaoxiao’s current situation.

Finding out that Xiaoxiao was doing well and enjoying school brought Chen Yang some peace of mind.

"As long as she’s happy. If there’s any issue at school, you can come to me anytime. I’ve been pretty busy recently and have neglected you both. Sorry, Xueying," Chen Yang said with unexpected tenderness, apologizing for his oversight.

Hearing this, Zhang Xueying was overcome by emotion.

She knew how busy Chen Yang was and never blamed him.

But now, with Chen Yang explicitly apologizing for it, didn’t that prove she had always held a place in his heart—and an important one at that?

Overwhelmed, she couldn’t help feeling deeply moved.

"I know you’re busy, Chen Yang. I don’t blame you. As long as you keep Xiaoxiao and me in your heart, that’s enough for me," Zhang Xueying said as she leaned close to Chen Yang.

"Hmm."

With that, Chen Yang hummed softly, put down his utensils, and held her tightly.

The two enjoyed a moment of intimacy before Zhang Xueying suddenly looked up at Chen Yang and said, "By the way, Chen Yang, I asked you here today because I need a favor from you."

"What is it?"

Chen Yang immediately asked back.

"Well... Xiaoxiao’s school is holding a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow, and I wanted you to go with me," Zhang Xueying replied.

"A parent-teacher meeting? Sure, let’s go together tomorrow," Chen Yang agreed without hesitation.

Xiaoxiao’s parent-teacher meeting was indeed a significant matter.

"Thank you, Chen Yang." Seeing his decisive agreement, Zhang Xueying’s face lit up with a big smile.

Chen Yang smiled faintly in response and said no more. The two carried on eating.

Their tender moment thoroughly opened up their communication.

During the meal, they truly felt like a couple at home, chatting about their child while eating.

Time flew by as they ate and talked.

As the night grew late, Zhang Xueying hesitated for a while before finally deciding to speak up, biting her lip. "Chen Yang, how about you don’t go back tonight? Stay here and sleep, and we can go together to Xiaoxiao’s school tomorrow. What do you think?"

Having said that, she blushed deeply and lowered her head.

She had brought this up many times in the past, but each time, they hadn’t followed through.

After asking so many times, as a woman, this naturally made her feel very embarrassed.

Looking at the shy blush on Zhang Xueying’s face, Chen Yang couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Alright, I won’t leave tonight," Chen Yang answered firmly.

Hearing Chen Yang agree, Zhang Xueying froze for a few seconds before her face lit up with joy.

She then rested once more in Chen Yang’s embrace...

Soon, morning came.

Chen Yang woke up at Zhang Xueying’s place and decided not to leave. Instead, he freshened up and had breakfast there.

Afterward, the two drove together from the clinic, heading to Xiaoxiao’s parent-teacher meeting.

After the events of the previous night, Zhang Xueying’s demeanor had noticeably changed today.

Her face was glowing with happiness, and she seemed several years younger.

No one could tell she was a young mother.

"Xueying, wait for me in the car for a bit. I’ll go in and change—it wouldn’t be proper to go like this," Chen Yang said as they reached the clinic’s entrance and opened the car door.

Zhang Xueying glanced at Chen Yang, not finding anything wrong with his attire.

But she smiled and nodded anyway. "Alright, I’ll wait for you, Chen Yang."

With that, she got into the car as Chen Yang nodded slightly before unlocking the house and stepping inside.

Chen Yang didn’t think his outfit was inappropriate either; he simply preferred to change into something clean.

At the same time, he wanted to check on Brother Eagle and Wangcai in the backyard.

After changing his clothes in the bedroom, he headed to the backyard.

Brother Eagle was still crouched in its nest. Upon hearing Chen Yang call, it swiftly emerged, landing sharply on the peach tree beside him.

Seeing Brother Eagle grow increasingly fierce and robust, Chen Yang’s eyes sparkled with contentment.

Having such a formidable creature at home gave him peace of mind while away.

"Wangcai."

After dealing with Brother Eagle, Chen Yang turned to Wangcai’s doghouse and called out.

Wangcai remained as lethargic as ever, looking frail like a creature perpetually under the weather.

Although Chen Yang had somewhat gotten used to its appearance, comparing it to Brother Eagle, the disparity was hard to ignore.

"What’s the matter with you, huh? Always so listless during the day."

Chen Yang almost felt like kicking Wangcai but decided against it.

"Here, one for each of you! Eat these and stay here during my outing. Take care of the house."

Chen Yang pulled out two Body Refinement Elixirs, tossing them to Brother Eagle and Wangcai.
