Chapter 742 The Dragon Court Compound

Chapter 742 The Dragon Court Compound

Gao Ge didn’t expect that Heaven Dragon should take him here.

Yet, it is understandable.

There is no safer place than here in Huaxia.

Looking at the four glistening words in the sun, Gao Ge can’t help reading them.

“The Dragon Court Compound?”

Heaven Dragon laughs and says, “Enough with muttering. Come with me.”

“Okay.”

Following behind Heaven Dragon, Gao Ge enters the Dragon Court Compound and suddenly feels nervous.

Gao Ge also figures out why Heaven Dragon refuses to let Xia Lu come along. After all, Meng Jing’s parents also live in the Dragon Court Compound. If they see Xia Lu, things will become complicated. Although Gao Ge doesn’t mean to conceal anything deliberately, he can’t upset Meng Jing’s parents.

Actually, he hasn’t seen his parents for a long time.

Therefore, Gao Ge inevitably feels afraid when he is about to meet them.

When he gets to see his parents, his father is playing chess with Meng Jing’s father under a tree.

“In the Dragon Court Compound, someone will take care of them specially and no one will restrict their freedom. However, neither your parents nor Meng Jing’s parents like going out,” Heaven Dragon says.

Gao Ge nods his head.

He knows his parents best.

His idleness is probably inherited from his parents.

Currently, Meng Jing’s father is dealing with the chess game with Gao Ming attentively. They are stubborn chess players. Neither of them will admit defeat easily nor accept a draw in the game. They both seem to think they will be sure to win.

Gao Ge has seen such a scene many times since childhood and it can last several hours. Hence, he can’t help doubting whether one will be too idle when he grows up.

Afterward, Gao Ge gradually understands. Actually, Gao Ming and Meng Jing’s father are only chatting together and reminiscing about the past. They can keep talking about it forever once they start talking. Lots of the stories have been heard by Gao Ge more than ten times. Therefore, whether to win or not is no more important. It is a great thing to have a sincere friend around their age.

“Dad, why don’t you admit defeat?” Gao Ge says.

“Nonsense. I’m about to win… Erk?” Gao Ming turns around. Meng Jing’s father also raises his head. They are both surprised to see Gao Ge.

“Why are you here?” Meng Jing’s father asks curiously. While speaking, he looks around obviously to search for something. He says nothing but Gao Ge knows what he is searching for.

He coughs and says, “Uncle Meng, Meng Jing is still executing some tasks. She doesn’t come this time but she will be back in some time.”

Meng Jing’s father nods and says nothing.

“Brat, you are finally back. It has been a long time. Crap. You let us come here and you can make a sightseeing tour, right?” Gao Ming says with staring eyes.

He is reproaching Gao Ge verbally but even an idiot can tell that he is deeply concerned about Gao Ge.

“Okay. Okay. Let’s have lunch together,” Gao Ge claps his hands and takes a look at Meng Jing’s father, saying, “You are the winner this time.”

“Humph. Of course I am.” Meng Jing’s father immediately sniffs at Gao Ming’s words.

Gao Ming feels quite happy. He doesn’t want to fuss about this trivial thing with Meng Jing’s father. He picks up the teacup and brings Gao Ge home. Before leaving, he also tells Meng Jing’s father to bring his wife for lunch.

When they are home, Song Yun is still cooking. Upon seeing Gao Ge, she almost sheds tears. Instantly, she starts to pinch Gao Ge. It doesn’t hurt at all but Gao Ge still grimaces. Anyway, his mother doesn’t have much strength. He should let her have a sense of achievement.

Heaven Dragon has left and Gao Ge hasn’t asked him about them. Yet, judging from his parents’ current situation, they probably don’t know much. As to whether they know that he has quit the Dragon Court, Gao Ge is not sure about it. Maybe it is because they live in the Dragon Court Compound and they are ill-informed that they don’t know these things, or maybe they actually do but they simply pretend that they don’t.

That’s what his parents are like. Even if they are curious about something, they won’t ask about it. It is mainly because they don’t want to bring any stress on him.

“How do you feel about living in the Dragon Court Compound?” Gao Ge asks.

“Not bad. We are a bit not accustomed.” Song Yuan says while cutting the vegetable, “However, the people living here are actually quite hospitable.”

“Do you want to go back?” Gao Ge says smilingly.

Song Yun slows down cutting the vegetable.

Yet, she still says, “It’s okay. It’s great that we live here.”

Gao Ge subconsciously takes a glance at Gao Ming while Gao Ming shakes his head with a bitter smile.

After sitting down, Gao Ming says in a low voice, “Actually, before you came here, your mother kept mumbling about going back but she doesn’t want you to worry about us.”

Actually, even if Gao Ming doesn’t talk about it, Gao Ge can imagine it.

It seems that parents are always unwilling to express their grievances to their children regardless. Actually, so it is the case with the children.

It is often reported that old parents are bullied by the caregivers at home, which is rarely exposed. In the end, it is their children who find that. Actually, it is mostly because the elders tend to put up with the bully but not because they cannot speak. They think that if they lay it bare, they will add a burden to their children. This is a bit stupid but it is simply a demonstration of the parents’ care for their children.

Over lunch, Meng Jing’s parents don’t look quite happy. Obviously, they are still thinking about Meng Jing. They mean to ask a bit more about her but they are worried that they may make things difficult for Gao Ge. As time goes by, they’ve gained some knowledge about the Dragon Court. They are clear that Meng Jing’s identity is special. They watch some TV dramas at home too so they subconsciously think that the mission carried out by Meng Jing is also confidential. Hence, he cannot reveal too much to them.

“Ahem. Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunty, I’m here to share a piece of good news with you. Not only is Meng Jing coming back soon but also you will be able to return to Jiangnan City soon,” Gao Ge says.

Gao Ming, Song Yun and Meng Jing’s parents are all surprised to hear Gao Ge’s words.

“Are you serious?” Gao Ming asks first.

If they can go back, they surely want to go back.

Gao Ge nods with a smile.
