Chapter 935: Parents Ascend the Mountain

The news that Hongxue gave birth to a son spread quickly to the Chen Clan and the Shang Clan, first reaching the Chen Clan; it was probably deliberately relayed back, and as for who did it, Chen Chuyang does not yet know—either sister Qing'er or elder brother Chen Chusheng, most likely the elder brother, though it could also be third uncle.

This matter can be set aside for now, because mother has gone up the mountain; she moved so fast that within an hour she was already on the road up the mountain. Father followed mother up the mountain, bringing many good items that are not found on Longshe Shan.

All of it was meant to help Hongxue replenish her body; as soon as the two arrived on the mountain, they immediately went to see Hongxue and their precious grandson. As for Chen Chuyang, he was left standing there, ignored by everyone. At that moment, Chen Chuyang became an unloved existence—how awkward.

The raised hand helplessly hung in midair, a bitter smile forming as he looked at mother and father, both beaming, scrambling to embrace the grandson, especially mother Long Ming, who was reluctant to let go, not wanting father Chen Yuan to hold the child.

"This child really looks like Chuyang when he was young, exactly the same."

"Hongxue, you've worked hard."

Hongxue sat up, smiled at mother and said, "Mother, I'm not tired."

"Silly girl, how can a woman give birth without hardship? You even passed through the Ghost Gate. As someone who has been through it, mother naturally understands that feeling."

"During this period, rest well and replenish your body. Don't think about work, nor about cultivation. I will have that boy Chuyang take good care of you—eat when you should, drink when you should; don't skimp on us. If you need anything, just speak up."

"This time father and I went up the mountain and brought many spirit chickens, prepared especially for you; you should eat more, don't spare mother."

Shang Hongxue nodded prettily: "Yes, mother."

Being pampered truly feels good; Long Ming arranged everything. As for Chen Chuyang, she ordered him to prepare tasty dishes—take the spirit fish from Yu Tang and give them to Hongxue, fry and stew plenty for her, as Hongxue now needs to replenish her body.

You can stew the spirit chickens they brought together with the soup, or stew them alone; in any case, you must not shortchange Hongxue, nor the child.

Shang Hongxue listened the whole time; Long Ming gave many instructions, all things mother should pay attention to.

Every detail, big or small, was told to Shang Hongxue; this time, Shang Hongxue took it to heart.

Especially in caring for the child, Shang Hongxue... is inexperienced and needs guidance; Liu Yuer has instructed her several times, and these days has been on the mountain caring for her.

Long Ming heard this, was very pleased, and nodded toward Yu'er at the doorway.

"You should listen more to Aunt Yu'er; she too has been through it, experienced, especially since she gave birth not long ago. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her."

"Okay."

Shang Hongxue kept nodding, while Chen Chuyang, together with father, worked outside; the two looked at each other and gave a helpless smile.

Father Chen Yuan, while slaughtering a chicken, said, "Chuyang, you little brat are now a father; from now on, things will be different."

"Being a father isn't that easy; in the coming years, you'll have a hard time."

Chen Chuyang nodded: "It's fine, I'm not afraid."

When he thought of his own son, Chen Chuyang could only smile; he likes children.

Moreover, the child is very healthy; as long as nothing happens to the child, he won't be too distressed.

Hongxue will take good care of the child, and Hongchen and Liu Yuer will help watch over him; many people on Longshe Shan help with the care, so later he may not even have time to hold his son and play.

When mother arrived, Chen Chuyang's spot was gone; the mother and daughter chatted in the room.

Chen Yuan said, "Your mother may stay on Longshe Shan for a while; you, kid, be careful."

"Huh?"

Chen Chuyang looked at father, surprised, and asked, "Father, can you bear to let mother live on the mountain?"

Chen Yuan chuckled secretly, "Of course I can; I, as father, hope your mother stays longer—ideally a month."

That way, he can be a bit more relaxed and freer.

No longer being supervised by his wife, nor worrying about being scolded by her at any moment.

It's rare to be relaxed; why not take it?

Chen Chuyang saw father's smile, instantly understood his thought, and couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

"Father, is that really necessary? Wanting mother not by your side? You weren't like this before."

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "I've already told you, for the next month you take care of things yourself. Hongxue also needs someone to look after her. You really are something—Hongxue gave birth to such a huge matter and didn't tell us, which is why we only just learned it. Your mother said she'll trouble you later."

"Son, you might get a beating; when that time comes, father will watch closely."

Having not seen his son get beaten for a long time, Chen Yuan could not miss this scene.

This precious son has always been protected by his wife, held in the palm, reluctant to hit him.

Chen Yuan can't even lay a hand on him; as he grows up, Chen Yuan will only be on the receiving end of beatings, so hitting his son is unlikely.

"Father, you want your child to get beaten that much?"

"Of course, father has wanted to beat you for a long time."

Chen Chuyang: "…"

Chen Yuan continued, "If it weren't for your rapid strength increase, father would let you experience a bit of paternal affection."

Chen Chuyang was speechless; this father is still like a child, so fond of beating himself.

"Actually, father, you could do it yourself."

"Tch." Chen Yuan gave Chen Chuyang a cold stare, irritated, "You think father doesn't know what you're thinking? You just want to hit me back?"

"Father isn't that foolish; I wouldn't give you a chance to beat me."

"Hahaha." Chen Chuyang heard that and burst into laughter.

This father is truly funny, afraid of getting beaten.

In the next few days, mother and father stayed on the mountain; after three days, father slipped away stealthily.

When he left, he was very happy, hopping and skipping, extremely delighted.

After he left, Shang Yingnian and Jiang Luolan went up the mountain.

When they went up again, their first priority was to visit their own daughter, and only then the grandson.

Jiang Luolan looked at his daughter's plump face, full of color, and nodded with satisfaction.

"My Hongxue, you really... such a huge childbirth you didn't tell mother."

"Mother only just received the news now, you."

Shang Hongxue cooed, "Mother, I don't want to make mother worry about me."

"You are my daughter; mother wouldn't worry about you worrying about anyone?" Jiang Luolan scolded, "Next time you must not do this; any matter must be told to mother the moment it happens."

Chuyang, you really are something, such a big thing, and you actually didn't tell us.

Chen Chuyang spread their hands: "Hongxue won't let me tell you, but I also wanted to tell you this good news."

"Whatever Hongxue says goes—can't you have your own opinion?" Shang Yingnian let out a cold snort.
