At the doorway of the bedchamber stood a nine-year-old boy dressed in white.
He resembled Future Self by eighty percent and the Second Madam by twenty percent.
His name was Chen Hao, the son of Future Self and the Second Madam.
"Father, Mother, I'm coming in."
With a creak, the door opened, and Chen Hao stepped inside.
Inside the bedchamber, Future Self and the Second Madam were seated at the table, drinking together and chatting idly.
Fortunately, they had moved quickly enough. It would have been awkward if Chen Hao had seen them.
"Father, Mother, you're here!"
"Hm? Hao'er, shouldn't you be at the academy? Why have you come back?" Future Self asked Chen Hao with a frown.
"Cough, cough. Well, I accidentally burned my teacher's long beard, so..."
"???"
Chen Hao carried Future Self's bloodline. His talent was unparalleled; he had been born covered in Five Elements rules, accompanied by a five-colored phenomenon, and could breathe true fire.
"Sigh... why can't you restrain yourself a little?" The Second Madam lovingly reached out and rubbed Chen Hao's head.
"Mother, I really tried my best to hold it back, but..." Chen Hao lowered his head.
Future Self shook his head with a smile. His bloodline talent was simply too great. It was understandable that his son could not control it.
Before long, Chen Xiao entered while holding the hand of a little girl.
The moment the little girl saw Future Self, she immediately broke free of Chen Xiao's hand and scampered toward him.
"Father, Father, look! So many butterflies."
Future Self reached out and picked the little girl up, smiling with unconcealed affection.
"Really? Let Father see. Oh my, so many butterflies. They're so beautiful, just like my Yu Er."
The little girl, Chen Yu, was the daughter of Future Self
