Uchiha Chirori burst out laughing when she heard that, then comforted him. "I'm just joking. You'll always be a handsome man in my heart, all right?"
"If Haoyuan saw you looking like this, his jaw would drop."
Torifu looked a little embarrassed too. "Why would I let him see it? Aren't there just the two of us here?"
"Besides, he's off playing with Yahiko and Konan. There's no way we'll run into him."
"Dad, Mom, what a coincidence!"
No sooner had Torifu finished speaking than Haoyuan's voice rang out, and his whole face darkened.
That brat—speak of the devil!
"Ahaha, it's Haoyuan. How did you three end up here?"
Haoyuan, Yahiko, and Konan jogged over to them. "We just finished watching a show, and we happened to run into you two when we came out. We really are family."
Uchiha Chirori covered her mouth and snickered at the side, while Torifu's face was dark, though he had to force out a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. Haha."
Haoyuan could also tell that the atmosphere seemed a little off right now. Though he couldn't see exactly what was wrong, his instincts told him they shouldn't stay here long.
"Then, Dad, Mom, we'll go play somewhere else. You two take your time strolling around!"
With that, the three of them ran off, but Torifu's expression was still as dark as ever.
"Great. Caught red-handed."
Uchiha Chirori patted Torifu on the shoulder. "Relax. Haoyuan definitely didn't hear anything. Don't worry about it."
After that, the couple continued shopping.
Torifu had changed into a new outfit, and it felt as if he had become a different person. It wasn't just his bearing—even his way of speaking and his personality no longer had that slightly old-fashioned feeling from before.
Uchiha Chirori observed Torifu's changes from the side,
