Li Zhao woke up early and, noticing that An Hao was still asleep, did not disturb her. Instead, he got up gently.
Li Zhao changed into casual clothes, tidied up, and went downstairs for a run.
“Good morning, young master.” Li Hu greeted him with a smile as soon as he saw Li Zhao come down.
“Good morning, Uncle Hu.” Li Zhao responded with a smile.
“Are you heading out for a run so early, young master?” Li Hu asked, looking at Li Zhao’s attire.
“Yes, Uncle Hu, would you like to join?” Li Zhao asked Li Hu.
“Let’s.” Li Hu was planning to exercise anyway, so going with Li Zhao was okay too.
“Alright, let’s go then.” Li Zhao started out the door and headed to the training ground in the big courtyard.
There was a special area in the courtyard for these senior leaders to exercise.
“Young master, how have things been going in S Province over the past few years?” Li Hu ran alongside Li Zhao and asked him.
“The development’s been quite good.” Li Zhao thought about his own business.
“Hmm, once the young missus is home resting and expecting, you will have to shuttle back and forth.” Li Hu thought about how everyone in the family spoils the young missus.
They definitely won’t let An Hao follow Li Zhao back this time. There’s a chance that Li Zhao might have to move back to the Imperial Capital for his career.
“Yeah, I will be pretty busy from then on.” Li Zhao thought that no matter how tired he would be then, he would be more than willing.
The two of them jogged and chatted, discussing everyday topics.
“Zhaozi, when did you come back?” Chu Yeting also jogged in the opposite direction. Upon seeing Li Zhao, he asked.
“Good day, Uncle Chu.” Li Zhao greeted Chu Yeting.
“Zhaozi, will you be leaving after this visit?” Chu Yeting wondered when their rebellious son would come back now that Li Zhao had returned.
“Yes, after An’an and I have our wedding, I’ll go back to S Province.” Li Zhao answered Chu Yeting’s question.
“Zhaozi, have you seen Molin?” Chu Yeting thought about it before asking.
“No, I haven’t seen Mr. Chu for quite a while.” Although Li Zhao wasn’t sure what kind of disagreement Chu Molin had with the Chus, he wouldn’t just casually reveal Chu Molin’s whereabouts.
And don’t tell him that Chu Yeting, a chief of staff, didn’t know where Chu Molin was.
But did Chu Yeting genuinely not know where Chu Molin was?
After a quarrel between father and son years ago, Chu Molin had left home. It’s been ten years now, and he hadn’t returned once. Sometimes, he thought of sending someone to find out, but something else always came up, delaying it. As of now, he still didn’t know where Chu Molin was.
He thought Li Zhao might know, but it turns out he, too, was left disappointed.
“I see, I heard from your grandfather that your wedding banquet with An’s girl was to be held when Molin returns. I thought you guys came back to host the banquet because you’d found Molin already. Looks like it’s not the case.” Chu Yeting said a bit dejectedly.
The drama between himself and Gong Xinya back then had pushed Molin too far, causing him to hold grudges against him, against Xuezhi. Until now, he had stayed away from home for ten years without even a glance back.
Chu Yeting didn’t know what he felt, seeing a harmonious family at home, occasionally remembering that stubborn boy.
It’s just that the matters between adults were too complex for a young boy to understand.
Maybe it was because he was getting old, but lately, he often remembered that defiant young man.
The family gatherings always felt incomplete without him. When would he forgive his father and return home?
As Xiao’ai grew older, the Luus began to bring up the matters of the two kids intentionally or unintentionally.
But as a father, he genuinely did not know where his son was.
