Chapter 1910: Chapter 56: Sons Grow Up and Can’t Be Kept at Home

Gu Yunbo bounced up and poured a glass of water for Meng Fan, placing it on the table. Curiously, he asked, "Why are you here? Are you inspecting the house or collecting rent?"

Meng Fan shook his head, scanning the room with his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

"You’ve been living here all this time?"

"Yes! I’ve been living here continuously."

And so, someone’s brow furrowed even deeper. The decor and items in the house were no different from when he initially left them with her. If it weren’t for the glass of plain water in front of him, he might have believed what the downstairs auntie said.

"Did you notice anything strange just now?" Gu Yunbo still felt a bit uneasy.

"No." Meng Fan shook his head. Because of spending a long time outside, his fingers were frozen stiff and pale. He held the teacup in his hand, casually saying, "I just arrived."

"Oh! No wonder." Luckily, luckily he had just gotten there; it would have been dangerous if he’d arrived earlier.

"You have a good relationship with Jinglin?"

"That’s my little brother."

The man holding the teacup, his eyes as bright as cold stars, became dazzling due to a slight smile. "It’s late; I’ve brought the items, and I’m heading back now."

He stood up, and Gu Yunbo suddenly noticed there was a bag at her feet filled with new clothes, many with fluffy designs, reminding her of her benefactor.

The taste really was quite similar.

"What is this?"

"Oh! It’s an aid project organized by my uncle for the mountain area. He asked me to pass it on." Meng Fan casually lowered his head and pointed at the address on the bag, "There, it’s from the mountains."

Her benefactor!

Gu Yunbo was overjoyed, saying with a smile, "Thank you so much! I was just worried about not having clothes to wear! It’s like someone sending you a pillow just when you’re feeling sleepy—thank you, thank you so much."

Meng Fan awkwardly turned his gaze away and reminded, "Don’t go out at night anymore, it’s dangerous outside."

"I understand." Gu Yunbo, busy looking at the clothes, didn’t notice his odd expression, solemnly promised, "I’ll definitely not go out at night anymore." After tonight’s incident, she wouldn’t dare to wander freely.

"Mm!"

"Are you leaving? Let me walk you out, it’s too dangerous outside, and I’m worried about you going back alone." Gu Yunbo saw him getting ready to leave, hurriedly taking out a fluffy hat from the bag, throwing it on, and proactively following alongside Meng Fan.

Meng Fan looked down at her slightly, inwardly wondering if he had scared her just now.

The two walked silently all the way out of the residential area until near the main courtyard when Gu Yunbo couldn’t resist the urge to speak, only to be startled by a man who suddenly appeared. She reflexively wanted to attack but was restrained by Meng Fan grabbing her wrist.

The man’s fingers were long and well-proportioned, and despite looking calm, his grip was terrifyingly strong. She struggled but couldn’t break free.

"It’s my father."

"Oh!" She thought it was just the bad guys from before!

Meng Xingzhi held a flashlight, the strong light shining on them both, Meng Fan’s face remained unchanged. He then directed the light at their held hands.

Whoa... Could it be that his son finally has a girl he likes? But the girl in front of him seems a bit young! Is she of age?

He hoped his son wouldn’t run afoul of conduct issues.

Meng Xingzhi’s mind burst with countless thoughts in a short minute, surprised, joyous, and worried. Like an old father, he looked at his son with gentle eyes, almost ready to wipe away tears of relief.

His son said he’d be home tonight, yet he waited at home for ages, but no one returned. He couldn’t sit still and came out looking for him, unexpectedly witnessing this scene right at the door. Luckily, he came out, otherwise he wouldn’t have known his son had someone he liked.

Alas! Sons grow up and become distant, persistently trying to keep them only leads to resentment.
