Hearing that Chu Lingxuan had returned, Ms. Chu excitedly jumped off the table and ran outside with Dabao following closely behind. They were stopped by Mrs. Song and Qiu Yue at the doorway, "Oh my, it's too cold outside."
Chu Lingxuan entered the dining room, carrying one child and leading the other. His mannerisms were just like those of a doting father blessed with both a son and a daughter.
Chen Afu laughed, "My lord, now that you're back, we're conveniently having a warming mutton soup tonight." She then placed the chopsticks and bowl that Xia Yue had handed her on the table and ordered someone to bring some wine.
Chu Lingxuan laughed and replied, "That's exactly what I was craving."
