Chapter 208

Xiao Junyan parked the car in front of Chu Muyue's floor, helped her unbuckle her seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Chu Muyue opened the backseat door and wanted to get the food for dinner, but Xiao Junyan grabbed it first. "I'll do it!"

"You should do it!" Chu Muyue turned her head and glared at him. She complained bitterly, "It's all your fault for coming home late!"

"It's my fault!" Xiao Junyan nodded, but the smile on his face did not disappear.

Chu Muyue just wanted to facepalm. That devilish smile was too seductive. She shouted, "Don't smile!"

Maybe it was because she was mesmerized by Xiao Junyan's smile, or because of Xiao Junyan's explanation of his confession, Chu Muyue forgot that she was going to buy groceries.

They were already home, but she still had to go back to buy groceries. This made Chu Muyue blush.

"I said before, I only smile at you!" Xiao Junyan chuckled and said.

Chu Muyue pursed her lips. She seemed to have said such a sentence before. Her brows were tightly knitted together. Why did she feel like she had dug a hole for herself and jumped into it?

Xiao Junyan's large hand reached over and smoothed her furrowed brows. "Don't frown!"

"Okay!" Chu Muyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. The corner of her mouth rose slightly, and she changed the topic. "Let's go up quickly. Let's have dinner first. You can have dinner at my house!"

"Okay!" Xiao Junyan nodded and followed Chu Muyue upstairs.

However, when they went upstairs, they saw that Chu Zhiming had already returned home and was preparing clothes.

"Dad, why are you home?" Chu Muyue looked at Chu Zhiming in surprise.

Seeing that Chu Muyue had returned, Chu Zhiming sighed helplessly and said, "Second Brother informed me that your grandmother is sick and wants you to take care of her. But you still have to study with your teacher and have the middle school exams, so I decided to go by myself."

Upon hearing Chu Zhiming's words, Chu Muyue's brows furrowed together.

Chu Zhixin informed Chu Zhiming to take care of Grandma, but what about Chu Xueyang? Why didn't she go and take care of him?

"Where is Chu Xueyang? Is she going to take care of Grandma with me? "Chu Muyue asked Chu Zhiming.

Chu Zhiming sighed and explained, "She's about to take her middle school exams. Your second uncle said that he found a teacher for her. She has to study, so she can't go!"

How could he not understand the meaning behind Chu Zhixin's words? However, he couldn't say anything.

When Xiao Junyan heard Chu Zhiming's words, a look of displeasure flashed across his face. How could someone as astute as him not understand the meaning behind his words?

"Dad, if you go, then what about your work? Are you going to ask for leave? "Chu Muyue asked Chu Zhiming worriedly.

Chu Zhiming nodded and said, "Yes, I've already asked for leave from the company. Your grandmother just has a cold. It'll only be a few days. She'll be fine soon!"

Chu Muyue couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart, but more than that, she was touched.

Chu Zhiming would rather ask for leave to take care of his sick grandmother than let her go. If she didn't come back so early, perhaps she wouldn't even know.

"Dad, you don't have to ask for leave. I'll go!" Chu Muyue said with a faint smile as she took Chu Zhiming's clothes out of the cloth bag.

Chu Zhiming was stunned when he heard this, but he still refused, "No, I'll go. You go … Sigh, you should study with your teacher!"
