Chapter 2366 - 23068: Mother Knows My Heart Best

Yang Chuxia and Lele exchanged a glance, both inwardly despising Ye Zi’an, such a smooth talker, a complete trickster.

So, for some time that followed, it was common to find Ye Zi’an and little Luo Hongjun walking shoulder to shoulder in Prince An’s Mansion, perfectly harmonious.

And during the month spent at Prince An’s Mansion, he hadn’t done anything bad, spending the mornings practicing martial arts with Yang Chuxia, and in the afternoons, when Ye Zi’an returned from court, practicing calligraphy with him.

Even Yang Xiayun came over and marveled, saying that Luo Hongjun had never been quiet for a single day at home, and when asked to learn characters, he’d end up breaking the teacher’s head. Yet now he could sit at the desk and properly finish calligraphy for an hour and a half.

So initially intending to take the child back, Yang Xiayun decided not to bother anymore and let him stay.

"Mom, Mom..."

One day, Yang Chuxia had just walked out of the practice room with Luo Hongjun when she was surrounded by a whirlwind.

The person hugging her was already taller than her, and his voice had matured, infused with the unique magnetism of a man.

"Mom, I’ve missed you so much!"

It was her Yangyang who had returned!

Embracing her son tightly, Yang Chuxia began to sob uncontrollably.

Her emotions were so overwhelming that it left Yangyang a bit at a loss.

Patting Yang Chuxia’s back like comforting a child, "Mom, don’t cry. Here I am. Can’t you see? I’ve come back, safe and sound."

Yang Chuxia looked up, pushing him slightly away, sizing him up carefully from top to bottom, noticing a small scratch on his face. "What’s this? Why do you have an injury on your face?"

"Mom, I’m fine, didn’t get hurt elsewhere. Just encountered a couple of little thieves on the road."

"Nonsense, how could small thieves hurt you?" Yang Chuxia thought of something and immediately twisted his ear. "You brat, you still know how to come back?"

"Mom, let go, let go. I’m a General now, you can’t twist my ear anymore. If my subordinates see this, they’ll make fun of me." Yangyang yelled, tilting his head.

"Hmph, no matter how big a position you hold, you’re still my son. What’s wrong with twisting your ear? I might even spank you." Yang Chuxia said indignantly, "Brat, such an itch for trouble, leaving for so many years, don’t you miss home?"

"Mom, how could you say that? Of course, I miss home!" Yangyang yelped, "I miss you, I miss father, and I miss my brothers and sisters, but I couldn’t come back. If I sneaked back, I’d become a deserter and disgrace the Ye Family."

Yang Chuxia let go of his ear but lightly tapped his head, "Now you know how to miss home. Who told you to go to the North?"

"Hehe, Mom, I’m your second son who rarely gets to come back, don’t dwell on such trivial issues." Yangyang went forward and wrapped his arm around Yang Chuxia’s, "Do we still have the drunken crabs at home? In the military camp, I kept longing for our home snacks."

"Of course we do. How could we not?" Yang Chuxia chuckled, "There’s all you want to eat. Besides drunken crabs, what else do you crave? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it for you. Do you want roast suckling pig? I’ll have someone get it from Ju De Lou."

"Mom knows me so well, knows exactly what I like."

"That flattery beats even mine." The long-overlooked Luo Hongjun couldn’t help but speak up.

Yangyang looked down, finding the kid somewhat familiar, "Which family’s little rascal is this? Not cute at all."

"As a man, I’m not supposed to be cute," Luo Hongjun retorted, "Who’s the big rascal you are then?"
