Just as Chu Hengyuan stepped out of Aran's room into the morning light, he saw her leaning on a wooden walking stick, carrying a large bowl covered with an inverted dish as she came out of the kitchen.
Vexed, Chu Hengyuan strode over and began questioning her in a reproving tone: "If you were hungry, why didn't you call me? Why must you wander around on your own? Are your injuries completely healed? Do you have any idea how worried I was, thinking you had disappeared again?" With that, he took the food from her hand with one arm, scooped Aran up with the other, and carried her back to the bedroom.
Though she had just been scolded by Chu Hengyuan, Aran was still inwardly delighted.
