Chapter 173 You Are Not My Grandfather
Chapter 173 You Are Not My Grandfather
Ye Lingche himself also believed that Bai Sui'an would not be as contradictory as he was.
After all, in his eyes, Bai Sui'an is a free and easy woman.
Being watched by the three people, Bai Sui'an let Lin Rongkang poke her face for fun. She lightly noted Ye Lingche's loneliness at this moment, and then said:
"Kang Kang is wrong."
Bai Sui'an always has enough patience with children.
"There are times when Mommy has to play with others outside. You're still little, so there's no need to rush into learning adult things. Wait until you've had enough fun with Mommy and Daddy."
"But Daddy is unhappy now. I want Mom and Daddy to be happier."
Lin Rongkang sat astride Bai Sui'an's thighs and lifted the flesh on his mother's cheeks with his fleshy hands.
The corners of Bai Sui'an's mouth were raised, revealing a smile.
"We are happy as long as you are here with your parents." Bai Sui'an also pinched the child's cheek for fun.
The relationship between mother and son was very warm. Lin Yashu looked at her father worriedly and found that Ye Lingche was staring at the mother and son.
That anxious look made Lin Yashu feel hostile towards the big shot she was about to meet.
Before Zhuying went to the town, she came to Baili Mansion and talked to Lin Rongle about what happened today. Now that the carriage has arrived, Lin Rongle has gone out by himself.
He also brought a letter to Bai Sui'an.
The letter was left by Yanliu. There was not much written in it, just telling where she and Luoluo lived now.
Bai Sui'an put the letter away and listened to Ye Lingche checking Lin Rongle's learning results of the past few days as usual.
Lin Rongle shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Master these past few days. She went out to recuperate and asked me to go to her study to study on my own."
"Recuperate? How did you get injured?" Bai Sui'an asked.
When she saw Baili Mo a few days ago, he was fine.
"It was the day my mother sent me here. She left me in the study and was injured when she came back."
Bai Sui'an couldn't help but wonder if this matter was related to Ye Zihu. After all, His Majesty the Emperor came all the way here, right? It shouldn't be just for one thing, right?
But what is his purpose in coming here?
I remembered Zhuying said that Ye Zihu was injured that day.
"We'll see each other soon, so don't think about it for now." Ye Lingche saw what Bai Sui'an was thinking.
No matter how much you guess, it is better to meet the person directly.
We soon arrived at Feiyun Department Store. It must have been a special arrangement as there was a sign outside saying the store was closed for the day.
When he entered, he only saw A Yan. When he saw Ye Lingche, he just smiled helplessly, greeted a few children, and led them upstairs.
There weren't many people inside. Everyone was outside protecting the emperor. Remembering that Ye Zihu was alone last time, Bai Sui'an couldn't help but wonder if there was no one around Ye Zihu this time.
If there was no one around, her chances of success would be greater.
It was the same room where they met last time. Cheng Xu just came out and saw that everyone was there, so he deliberately left the door open for them.
During this period, he and A Yan did not speak to Ye Lingche. Even though Ye Lingche was able to walk well now, they did not have time to say a few words of concern.
The atmosphere was so depressing that even the usually talkative Lin Rongkang huddled obediently beside Lin Yashu.
Bai Sui'an hooked his arm to support Ye Lingche.
Ye Lingche wanted to show off in front of Ye Zihu. He was afraid that he would not be able to walk properly after entering the house, so he clenched his fist and held Bai Sui'an's arm.
The tall and strong man seemed to be somewhat dependent on Bai Sui'an.
A Yan knocked on the door.
"Just come in."
Ye Zihu let someone in directly, and he stood by the window, where he could see Zhuying parking the carriage below.
Several people went in together, A Yan closed the door and left.
The table was already filled with tea brewed by Cheng Xu, as well as a few plates of pastries that the children loved.
Ye Zihu turned around and looked at the family of five. He smiled suddenly with a kind face: "You brought the child here? Come here and let grandpa take a look."
He hooked his finger, ignoring the stiff expressions of several people.
grandfather?
Lin Yashu and Lin Rongkang immediately looked up at Ye Lingche.
Lin Rongle had an impression of his royal grandfather, and now he just stood behind his younger siblings without moving.
"Go, let your grandpa see you." Bai Sui'an smiled at the three children and gently patted Lin Yashu's shoulder.
Ye Lingche grabbed Bai Sui'an's other hand, and it hurt.
The two younger children were still hesitating, so Lin Rongle stepped forward, holding one of them by the hand, and brought them to Ye Zihu.
"Grandpa." Lin Rongle's tone was light, and there was an unfamiliar expression on his face.
But the brother and sister did not call anyone.
They all looked back at their parents anxiously and saw Bai Sui'an helping Ye Lingche walk in and sit down instead of leaving directly.
Lin Yashu then called out, "Grandpa."
Lin Rongkang spoke, but he didn't call out to anyone: "I haven't seen you before, you are not my grandfather."
In his opinion, grandfather and grandson is the relationship between Shi Tou and his grandfather, while father and son is the relationship between him and Ye Lingche.
This grandpa was not like Shitou’s grandpa, and Ye Lingche was not as excited as he was to see his father.
So Lin Rongkang would not recognize this grandfather.
Ye Zihu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the couple who had already sat down to drink tea, but did not get angry because of Lin Rongkang's words.
"You were born late, so it's right that we haven't met. Your brothers and sisters have all seen me." Ye Zihu said.
"Yeah." Lin Rongle nodded. He did remember it.
But Lin Yashu didn't recognize her: "I don't remember."
Among the three children, one was given full face, one was only given half face, and the youngest one was not given any face at all.
Ye Zihu did not force them to change their attitude now. After all, he was born in the royal family and had seen many princes and grandchildren become estranged from their elders.
"Please sit down and have some cakes. I haven't seen your parents for a long time. Let's sit down and catch up."
In order to make Ye Lingche less nervous, Bai Sui'an was already feeding him pastries.
These pastries were made by the royal chef brought by Ye Zihu. They were specially made for children and are sweeter than those made in restaurants outside.
Bai Sui'an broke a piece of cake into two pieces, put one piece in his mouth to taste it, and coaxed Ye Lingche to open his mouth and eat the other piece.
Eating something sweet can make people relax.
As the pastry entered his stomach, Ye Lingche accidentally touched Bai Sui'an's fingertips with his lips.
His mouth tasted sweet, and he glanced around hurriedly, seeing Bai Sui'an staring at him intently. He didn't know whether he should be nervous about meeting his father, or should he first savor this little touch with Bai Sui'an.
Bai Sui'an acted as if nothing had happened. She brushed off the remaining cake crumbs on her hands and said softly, "Are you feeling better? Everyone at home is here, don't panic."
The pastry melted in his mouth, leaving only a hint of sweetness for Ye Lingche to savor the scene just now.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine."
Except for Lin Rongle, the other two children moved their stools next to their parents and away from Ye Zihu.
Ye Zihu was sitting opposite the couple. Even though Lin Rongle found the right angle and sat right between Ye Zihu and Lin Yashu, there was still a gap in the round table between Ye Zihu and Lin Rongkang.
Lin Rongkang held Ye Lingche's arm with an embarrassed look on his face. He saw that there were broken pieces of pastry around Ye Lingche's mouth, but he didn't dare to reach out and eat the food on the table.
My parents didn't say anything either.
Ye Zihu pushed the cakes towards the three children and said, "Grandpa specially asked someone to make these for you. Please help yourself. There will be other delicious food later."
Lin Rongkang shrank into Ye Lingche's arms and said fearfully, "I won't eat it. Daddy's face turned red after eating a piece. There must be something inedible in it!"
