Chapter 1060: Such A Sweet Talker

Since she had also just returned recently, she did not say much about anything else. Some things were better off kept to herself, and some things that Lu Yi experienced did not need to be shared, as it was unnecessary for anyone else to be concerned with her.

“So, that’s why.” When Yi Ling heard that Yan Huan could not return because she was trapped, she was deeply relieved. At least she did not suffer, otherwise, she would feel guilty as she failed Yan Huan’s mother.

As for how she was lost, Yan Huan only smiled without replying. She gazed at the azure sky outside the window with an ambiguous smile, as if she was hiding something.

How did I go missing? I fell into a canal and drifted along the currents. Then, I reached Chengjia Village. After endless suffering and searching around, I finally found my way home.

Perhaps, Yi Ling realized that Yan Huan did not want to answer the question, so she stopped asking about it. As long as she was safe at home now, it was fine. He did not really need to know the rest.

At this precise moment, Xunxu turned her little head over as she had finished her snacks. Then, she stuffed the plastic package into her brother’s hands. When Lu Qi saw the snack packaging in his hand, he let out an adult-like sigh and climbed down the sofa. He was not much taller than his younger siblings, but he was already their little babysitter.

He walked over to the trash can and threw the rubbish in. He then picked up a toy car from the floor, walked toward the sofa, and climbed onto it.

Xiao Guang peered through one eye while biting his little fingers, and saw the toy car in his brother’s grasp.

Lu Qi gave the remote control toy car to his brother and then sat on the sofa quietly to watch television.

Poor little Lu Qi, he’s just a bit over two years old. He’s only two minutes older than his brother and five minutes older than his sister. Yet, he has to take care of these two little children since he was young.

Xunxun made her way over and stared at her mother and her aunt. Then, she ran toward Yi Ling and tugged at her sleeves.

“Pretty Auntie.”

When she heard it, Yi Ling smiled blissfully and carried Xunxun up.

“My dear Xunxun’s words are so nice. Come, let auntie give you a smooch.”

After that, she planted a firm kiss onto Xunxun’s little cheeks. Xunxun’s laugh was like a pure little flower bud, emitting the sweet scent of babies from her entire body.

Yan Huan placed her palm on her forehead, wondering where Xunxun had learned it from. She would not talk before, but now that she could, her words were as sweet as honey. Almost nobody could resist the charm of her words.

Another person now knew about the fact that Yan Huan was back. However, Yi Ling did not plan to tell anyone. However, she felt as if a weight had finally been lifted from her chest. Now that she felt very relieved, even her steps felt light, as though the wind was carrying her. Of course, she was more energized at work now.

When afternoon came, Ye Shuyun came to take the three children back home.

The moment Xunxun saw Ye Shuyun, she held onto her hand and sweetly muttered to her grandmother.

“Pretty Granny.”

In actuality, she did not even know what pretty meant yet. All she knew was that when she said those words, the adults would be very overjoyed.

Ye Shuyun was stunned and carried the little girl up, not wanting to let her go.

“You seem to be in a good mood lately?”

Lu Jin looked up from his newspaper, he had been observing Ye Shuyun for some time already and his theory was confirmed. Ye Shuyun was not merely in a great mood, she was also on cloud nine at this point.

What is it? Ever since Qin Xiaoyue caused a ruckus, this was the first time she smiled so happily. Why? Something good must have happened.

“Something good, there is good news.” Ye Shuyun shouted while walking into the living room.

“Xunxun, come to granny,”

Xunxun put down the doll in her hands, scrambled up from the floors, and ran up to Ye Shuyun. Then, she grabbed Ye Shuyun’s sleeve and lifted her cute little face up with an adorable smile.

“Be good, call granny.”

Ye Shuyun stroked her granddaughter’s face, coaxing her to talk.

“Pretty granny.”

Xunxun’s words were as sweet as ever, so much so that she made Ye Shuyun extremely ecstatic and lifted her mood. After all, all women loved being complimented for their beauty. Even if she was almost 60 years old, she would react similarly as well.

Lu Jin heard it and hurriedly discarded his paper aside. Then, he picked Xunxun up and let her stand on his lap.

Now how can I make her call me grandpa? No matter what, I must make her call me a handsome grandpa. Lu Jin had dyed his hair black, and his body had not changed much too. He had been serving in the army for a long time and had been training with the infantry too, so his body was still quite in shape. His back was straight and his belly was flat, so he still stood proud and tall. At first glance, he looked like a handsome middle-aged man in his forties.

Since she had been calling her grandmother pretty granny, she should be calling him handsome grandpa too.

Xunxun tilted her tiny head to one side, as if she was thinking really hard. Then, she nibbled on her little fingers and blurted..

“Pretty grandpa.”

Ye Shuyun laughed so hard that she fell rolling on the sofa, whereas Lu Jin was speechless and amused at the same time. He coughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment. “This child might not have a large vocabulary yet, but I know that she’s praising me.”

Ye Shuyun knew that he was just being stubborn, so she stopped herself from arguing with him.

At this moment, a loud sound suddenly rumbled from outside. When Xunxun saw the person that was coming in, she hastily climbed down her grandfather’s lap. Her short plump limbs were fast as she had grown up a little and become healthier. Although she had a waddle in her steps, her gait was still quite stable. Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin seemed to feel proud and blessed that their precious granddaughter had finally grown up. In just half a year’s time, she would be able to attend kindergarten. However, they would miss them very much. After all, they had been spending every day together with the three little children and had never been separated from one another. When the thought of sending them to kindergarten entered their minds, they could not help but feel a little dejected.

“Daddy..” Xunxun was still running. With a swift swoop, she was carried up into her father’s arms. She happily headbutted her dad and rubbed her face into his neck.

She loved her mom, and of course, she loved her dad too.

Lu Yi petted his daughter’s tiny head, as he carried her to his parents. When he sat down, he let Xunxun sit on his lap. Xunxun was wearing tiny socks on her little feet, showing off her ten little plump toes. They looked just like her mother, elegant and poised, unlike Xiao Qi and Xia Guang.

Xunxun stood on tiptoes and grabbed a handful of her father’s hair. Then, she beamed with happiness, as her eyes were smiling with pure joy.

historical

“Handsome daddy.”

With a puff, Lu Jin spat out the mouthful of tea that he just drank.

Ye Shuyun tried her very best to stifle her laughter beside him, but it was indeed an impossible task.
