Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 160: I was fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Du Anrao wasn't in the group chat, and upon seeing this, he looked at everyone in surprise: "Dad, Mom, what happened?"

Du's mother chuckled twice: "It was your fifth aunt. She said that your second sister-in-law encountered something interesting and new when she went to pick up her child today, so she recorded it and sent it to her, and then she sent it to me. I just opened it and found that it was indeed interesting."

"What's so interesting?" Du Anrao curiously leaned over, only to immediately spot Li Zhaoyang in the video, who was holding roses and grinning foolishly with dark circles under his eyes.

"Isn't this... Fourth Sister's cousin from the Li family?"

Mrs. Du feigned surprise: "It's him! I was wondering why he looked so familiar!"

[Wuhu, has Brother Li finally come to his senses and started pursuing his wife? But with that blindingly flashy entrance and his incredibly cheesy way of pursuing her, it's obvious he doesn't have much dating experience; he probably just copied all that from the internet.]

[You might be able to get away with pursuing young girls who don't have much dating experience, but pursuing an ex-girlfriend, especially one with whom you had a child, and doing it in such a flashy way, only makes people think you're a womanizer with a long romantic history. This beating was well-deserved.]

The group suddenly realized why Li Zhaoyang had been beaten.

However, given the previous misunderstanding between the two, he wasn't entirely without reason for being hit. A smart person would probably already be plotting how to use a self-inflicted injury to soften the woman's heart, but with this guy's intelligence, he probably won't think of that right now.

Everyone: Pfft...

Could this be the legendary case of "the onlooker sees more of the game than the player"? This little girl is so knowledgeable about other people's love affairs, but she's terribly oblivious when it comes to her own. In a way, this makes them feel quite at ease.

Du Anrao was still lamenting how someone with such low emotional intelligence could still have a wife when his phone suddenly rang.

All eyes in the room immediately turned to her again. Du Anrao took out her phone and saw that it was Du Desheng calling.

"Grandpa, is there something you need to tell me at this time? Do you want me to go to City B for a while and stay with Grandma Qin?"

The Du family members immediately perked up their ears. Du Anrao also turned to look at everyone and hesitated, saying, "It's possible, but if I go alone, I don't know anything and I might often have to trouble you and make you worry."

As soon as Du Anrao finished speaking, even though she didn't turn on the speakerphone, those nearby could still faintly hear the hearty laughter from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, then. I'll discuss it with my parents later and give you an answer then."

"Was that from your great-uncle?"

As soon as Du Anrao hung up the phone, her mother, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

“Yes, my great-uncle said that Grandma Qin was not used to living in City B, and there were no younger relatives in her family who could go and keep her company. So he asked me if I could stay with him for a while and take her around, and then come back after their wedding.”

Du Desheng is always decisive and a man of his word. That day he said he wanted to get a marriage certificate and have a wedding. He wanted the two of them to have what others had.

It's only been a few days since I got back, and most things are already taken care of. The only thing left is the wedding. Considering the scale and the number of guests, I reluctantly decided to postpone it to a month later, which is already quite rushed.

Du Desheng's intention in asking Du Anrao to go and accompany Qin Yanqing, and then return after the wedding, was that he wanted Du Anrao to stay in City B for a month.

Since this was the first time Du Anrao had traveled so far and was going to stay for an extended period, he should have discussed it with his elders, which was why he hadn't immediately agreed.

Du's mother was also surprised to hear her say this, but she still respected her child's own wishes: "So what do you think? Do you want to go and be with her?"

"Since I don't have anything to do lately, I might as well go to City B and experience the local customs and culture of the capital."

Madam Du initially wanted to remind her daughter that while the capital was indeed prosperous, the more glamorous a place was, the more trouble it tended to attract. But then she thought, with Du Desheng protecting her, these things weren't really a problem, and besides…

“If you really want to go, you can stop by your uncle’s place. Your aunt was just talking to me the other day about how she misses you and wants to invite you to visit them.”

Du Anrao's eyes lit up slightly: "Okay, okay, then I'll ask my older cousin or second older cousin to take me out to play!"

"Okay, okay, I'll call your aunt in a bit and tell her to make preparations in advance. But won't you be a little lonely going alone? How about having one of your brothers go with you?"

If it were Du Yuxi, it would be fine. Although the two are the same age, Du Yuxi has been traveling around with them since she was a child. She has traveled to many places, not to mention other provinces, and has even been to foreign countries several times.

On the contrary, her little one grew up in the mountains and rarely came down from the mountains, let alone travel to other places. Du's mother was really worried about her going on a long trip alone.

"No need, my brothers are all busy. I'm an adult now, not a child anymore. Besides, my great-uncle has already told me that as long as I board the plane here, he will arrange for someone to pick me up and drop me off at the airport there. There won't be any problems. I can manage on my own."

Seeing that she insisted, Du's mother did not argue with her anymore.

After asking his parents, Du Anrao quickly called Du Desheng back.

Du Desheng was overjoyed when she agreed and immediately booked her a flight for the next morning.

The next morning, Du Anrao got up very early, ate breakfast, yawned, and pushed his suitcase to the airport. As soon as he got off the car, his suitcase was taken away.

"Third brother, what are you doing here?" Du Anrao looked up and saw that the person carrying her suitcase was none other than her research fanatic third brother.

“I’ve been working on a new project recently, and B University invited me to go there for an exchange and learning experience. Mom said you’re also going to B City, so she wants me to go with you.”

"What a coincidence?"

"It's just such a coincidence."

Du Anrao blinked, but ultimately didn't delve into the veracity of Du Yihan's words.

Although they left in the morning, the two cities were far apart and they had to transfer flights, so they arrived in City B in the afternoon.

Du Anrao woke up from a nap just as the plane landed.

I thought Du Desheng would send someone to pick me up, but I didn't expect to see a familiar figure as soon as I stepped out of the airport.

"Grandpa, why did you come in person?" Du Anrao carefully looked Du Desheng over. His face was rosy and his spirits were particularly good. Indeed, people are in high spirits when they are happy.

"Where's Grandma? Didn't she come with you?"

When his lover is mentioned, Du Desheng smiles so broadly it's almost shameless.

“She’s waiting for us at home, mainly because she’s not fully recovered yet, and it’s windy outside at this time of day, so I don’t let her go out.”

Du Anrao: "..." I feel like I've suddenly been force-fed a mouthful of dog food!
"Also, Grandpa has something he'd like to ask you for help with, but it's not very convenient to bring her along."
