CHAPTER 773: CHAPTER 770: CAUSING TROUBLE

After work, it was Taozi who drove the car, humming a tune all the way, looking quite cheerful.

"You, your mood changes faster than summer weather." Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but tease.

"Hehe, Ruan Ruan, shall we eat out tonight? I saw a great restaurant online."

"No, Sister Xiao Mao must have already made dinner, and there’s definitely a lot of it. If we don’t go back, it’ll all go to waste. If you want to eat out next time, tell Sister Xiao Mao in advance."

Upon hearing this, Taozi glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror and then said, "The two of us can go and leave him to eat alone at home. That way, nothing’s wasted."

"Hey, that’s actually a good idea, not bad." Ruan Hongzhuang pinched her chin, looking thoughtful.

"Right, right, my idea’s great, isn’t it?" Taozi was all excited when she saw Ruan Hongzhuang seemed to agree.

Ruan Hongzhuang turned her head, glanced at Shen Siyuan, then said with a smile, "Then let’s drop him off by the roadside, and the two of us can go."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Is this really okay for you two?"

Shen Siyuan stood by the curb, looking speechless.

The two suddenly seemed fine with each other again, leaving him out.

"There’s nothing wrong with that. You can just take a taxi home." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Then she opened the glove compartment, took out a fifty yuan note, and handed it to him.

"What’s this for?"

"For your taxi."

Shen Siyuan: (*￣︿￣)

Before Shen Siyuan could say anything, Taozi stepped on the gas and sped off.

"Bye-bye, we’ll bring you something nice to eat when we get back tonight..."

Taozi’s cheerful voice trailed off in the wind.

"Tsk~" Shen Siyuan scoffed, then looked up at the sky.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Siyuan asked.

As he spoke, Dou Dou descended from the sky, circling around Shen Siyuan a couple of times.

"Oh-ho, have they finally abandoned you? Haha..."

"You’re that happy they don’t want me?" Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

Then he reached out and grabbed Dou Dou, who was still circling, into his hand.

The little one kicked in the air with her short legs, but seeing she couldn’t escape, she said, "Now that they’ve abandoned you, you belong to me alone, Potato, I love you the most."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Thanks a lot for that." Shen Siyuan put her down.

"You’re welcome, but you must love me the same as I love you." Dou Dou said.

Shen Siyuan didn’t want to engage her anymore and started walking home.

Dou Dou immediately chased after him, "You still haven’t answered my question."

"Answer what?"

"You should love me as much as I love you." Dou Dou said.

"These words, you should say to your mom and dad." Shen Siyuan replied with resignation.

"I told them, and I even asked them to love me a little more than I love them. As for you, my Potato, I just want us to love each other equally."

"I really have to thank you for that."

"No... Why do you always thank people?" Dou Dou looked at him in confusion.

"Do you know what I’m thinking about now?"

"What are you thinking?" Dou Dou immediately asked curiously.

"I’m thinking about whether or not to give you a beating." Shen Siyuan said.

Dou Dou was shocked and quickly flew into the air, far from Shen Siyuan, thinking she could escape that way, but if Shen Siyuan really wanted to catch her, distance wouldn’t matter.

"Why are you so bad? No wonder Aunt and Sister Ruan don’t want you either. I don’t want you too."

As she finished speaking, she rode the Yin Wind and vanished in an instant.

Shen Siyuan: ...

"This little rascal." Shen Siyuan found it amusing and annoying at the same time, but he kept walking.

Soon, Duoduo descended from the sky in a gust of Yin Wind.

"Brother, have you seen Dou Dou?"

Seeing Duoduo looking for Dou Dou, Shen Siyuan reflexively asked, "Did she cause trouble again?"

Duoduo nodded quickly, "She broke Aunt Mao’s stuff."

"What did she break?"

Shen Siyuan was surprised, not expecting Dou Dou to break something of Mao Sanmei’s.

"The soup pot." Duoduo said.

"The chicken soup spilled everywhere, making the floor all oily, and it scalded Aunt Mao’s foot. Then she ran off, acting irresponsibly. Brother, you have to teach her a lesson so she learns..." Duoduo seized the chance to tattletale.

"We’ll deal with that later. Is Tang Tang’s mom okay?" Shen Siyuan asked with concern.

The temperature of chicken soup is usually high, and getting scalded could cause serious injury.

"It’s all red and a bit swollen, but Aunt Mao said she’s fine."

Shen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief and then curiously asked, "How did she manage to knock over the soup pot?"

"She was playing ball and hit Aunt Mao." Duoduo replied.

"I see. Let’s leave her alone for now and head back." Shen Siyuan took Duoduo’s hand and continued walking home.

Duoduo said, "Tang Tang was really mad, too bad Dou Dou ran away, or else Tang Tang would have fought her."

"Really? Tang Tang actually cares about her mom now?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat comforted to hear this.

This little one was like a blank slate, understanding little. He always thought Mao Sanmei was more of a caregiver than a mom to Tang Tang.

After all, Tang Tang had been separated from her mom since she was little, and she felt less close to her than the kids at Rainbow House.

"Hehe, Tang Tang was angrily pacing at home and even stood on the balcony, babbling on and on."

"What did she say?"

"I don’t know, I couldn’t understand."

Wait, she babbled on for a long time? Shen Siyuan quickly looked up at the sky, seeing nothing unusual, he relaxed.

Yet, he was still a bit uneasy. He willed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner into existence and shook it toward the void.

Dou Dou, who was riding the Yin Wind considering where to hide, suddenly felt a force pull her into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"Brother caught Dou Dou!" Duoduo noticed, feeling elated.

You’re really gloating, aren’t you? You just want Dou Dou to get a beating, don’t you? Shen Siyuan thought helplessly.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept through, causing the surrounding flowers and grass to bow, trees to sway, swirling around them before heading far away.

"Hehe... It must be Tang Tang." Duoduo said.

No reminder needed, Shen Siyuan knew Tang Tang was searching for Dou Dou.

"Let’s go." He didn’t delay any further and marched forward.

Since it was after work hours, Shen Siyuan couldn’t use any strange methods, so he had to walk step by step. Yet, even so, his speed was remarkably fast, crossing tens of meters in the blink of an eye, faster than a person could run.

At that moment, a vast expanse of dark clouds rolled over the sea, obscuring the sun in the sky.
