Chapter 1437 - 1600: Shall We Go See the Lanterns?
Tao Zhixiang’s face was burning hot.
"Chu Mucheng, are you not going to let me eat properly? If not, then I’m leaving!"
Tao Zhixiang tightened her little face, glaring at him with a hint of anger.
Chu Mucheng laughed and quickly reached out to grab her arm, smiling as he said:
"Alright, let’s eat, let’s eat!"
Finally, Chu Mucheng stopped teasing her, and the two continued to eat.
Tao Zhixiang felt a warmth in her heart.
She increasingly felt that this man was different from before. Being with him now, her mood... was much more relaxed, not as tense and oppressive as before.
To be honest, today’s call from Chu Mucheng really helped her out of a tight spot, otherwise... she might have just awkwardly left that house.
So sometimes, she really wished to be with the one she loved and have a home of her own. But before, that was really just a luxury for her.
And now...
Tao Zhixiang’s heart was pounding.
She still remembered the words Chu Mucheng said last time. However, he didn’t explicitly say anything, so... Tao Zhixiang still felt uncertain in her heart.
But no matter what, being like this with him was already a kind of happiness for her!
After they finished eating, Chu Mucheng said to Tao Zhixiang, "Do you want to... go see the lanterns?"
Tao Zhixiang’s eyes lit up.
"Sure!"

Chang’an Park.
Every year on the fifteenth of the first lunar month, there’s a lantern display here. The park is filled with all kinds of lanterns, like peacocks displaying their tails, phoenixes soaring in the skies, color globe lanterns, palace lanterns, and many more, along with a lantern riddle event.
Inside the park, it’s also packed with people.
These years, Chu Mucheng rarely goes to such places, but today, he suddenly wanted to accompany her to see the lanterns. After all, it was the Lantern Festival!
When they arrived at the park entrance, it was indeed crowded with people.
Of course, among them were families of three, couples with children, and young couples walking hand in hand. Laughter and playful shouting filled the air.
In the bustling crowd, it’s inevitable to be cramped, with mischievous children weaving through the people, running and jumping, and as they walked, Tao Zhixiang was bumped into.
"Ah!"
She nearly fell, but fortunately, a pair of large hands held her, pulling her into an embrace.
"How are you walking?"
A cold questioning voice sounded beside her ear.
Of course, the person being questioned... wasn’t her, but the one who bumped into her.
"Sorry, sorry!" the person quickly apologized.
"It’s fine, it’s fine, it wasn’t intentional."
Tao Zhixiang said to Chu Mucheng.
After all, there were so many people here, it’s unavoidable to have some bumps.
Seeing Tao Zhixiang speak up, Chu Mucheng didn’t press the matter further, not wanting to spoil the good mood of the evening.
And Tao Zhixiang felt even sweeter inside.
So, Chu Mucheng... could also be so protective!
Previously, Chu Mucheng wouldn’t care about her feelings at all, and he even flipped tables when he was upset.

But now... she was just slightly bumped, and he protected her like this!
This man’s attitude had changed so drastically.
Now, could she be... someone he cares about?
The two continued walking forward, and there was a colorful lantern of dragons and phoenixes, very beautiful, so Chu Mucheng and Tao Zhixiang walked up to it.
Suddenly, a child’s voice sounded.
"Wow, such a big rooster!"
