Li Chen helped Ye Chuxue put on her clothes, quickly washed up, and then hurried home with her.
Upon returning home, Ye Yuancheng was on the phone, and Tang Lan was packing things, looking like they were preparing for a long trip.
Their expressions were slightly surprised upon seeing Li Chen and Ye Chuxue return together.
"Li Chen, when did you get back?"
Tang Lan was the first to ask, but her eyes were fixed on Ye Chuxue as she spoke.
Ye Chuxue felt guilty and couldn't bring herself to meet her mother's eyes directly. Instead, she started examining the ceiling as if something there was particularly captivating.
Li Chen and Aunt Tang had requested leave under the pretense of studying hard to get into a good university, as he went to Hengshui Middle School for a devilish style of studying.
Ye Yuancheng was never much concerned about Li Chen's affairs, as long as he stayed away from his precious daughter.
