Free Web NovelChapter 1251: Chapter 1265: Sweetness
These two kids are outstanding in every way and really save her a lot of worry, but when it comes to relationships, they’re exactly like their dad—emotionally dense and stubborn as a mule.
"As long as you understand. Let me make it clear, I’m still counting on getting to hold a grandchild before I close my eyes for good. Ai, forget it, they’re here, they’re here." Old Mr. Lin withdrew his gaze and sat back down on the sofa.
Jiang Xinru hurriedly straightened her clothes again and went out to greet them, with Lin Weidong following behind his wife.
Xiao Xiao got out of the car and saw the well-trained men in black park the car, then line up in a row, call out numbers, and march in neat steps toward the small building at the back.
Lin Ruonan gave an awkward little smile, thinking she’d scared the girl, and quickly reassured her, "Don’t mind them. Junyang’s message came too suddenly, so I had no choice but to bring all the household guards. And they can’t wear Guard uniforms for this kind of occasion, so they’re in plain clothes. They’re going back to change."
"Ruonan-jie, you went to the Kong Mansion Banquet because you got a message from Brother Yang?" This really surprised Xiao Xiao; she’d thought it was Shen Wenxuan or Mu Xingfeng who called her over.
After all, Lin Ruonan’s father is the Imperial Chief Guard of the Imperial Guard Team. Bringing a few guards out is just a matter of one word from him.
Uh, something feels a bit off here. Even the Imperial Chief Guard can’t be abetting shady behavior. They’re supposed to go through legal channels. Otherwise Ruonan-jie wouldn’t have had her guards switch into plain clothes.
Mm, that must be it.
She just hadn’t expected it to be that brat Lin Junyang. Did he see the videos she sent him and get scared she’d be bullied? Heaven knows, those videos were just for fun. With Wenxuan-ge and Zhang Liang, Fang Hui around, she wasn’t worried about being bullied at all.
Realizing it was Lin Junyang who asked Ruonan-jie to go, Xiao Xiao couldn’t help feeling a little sweet inside.
"Of course it was that brat Junyang who asked me. You know, since he was little, that kid has never asked me for anything. I didn’t expect the first time he came begging would be for you." As Lin Ruonan spoke, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Xiao Xiao turned teasing.
Only when Xiao Xiao’s ears flushed slightly red did she look away. "It’s just me and Grandpa at home. Grandpa knows I’m bringing a friend back. He’s usually alone at home and gets really lonely. When he heard I was bringing a friend he was very happy. At my place just do whatever you want, treat it like your own home."
As Lin Ruonan spoke, she pushed the door open, then turned her head—only to jump in fright at a suddenly enlarged face right in front of her.
"...Dad, when did you get back?" Seeing clearly who it was, Lin Ruonan felt a little guilty. From the looks of him, Dad must’ve been back for a while. Did he spot them as soon as they entered the yard just now?
Then she saw Jiang Xinru behind Lin Weidong, and her eyes widened even more. "Mom, what’s the occasion today? Why are you wearing plain clothes?"
You know, out of three hundred sixty-five days a year, Mom wears the Guard uniform for at least three hundred sixty of them. The other five are probably when she has to wear formal dresses for some important event.
On the rare occasion she sees her mom in casual clothes at home—proper loungewear at that—it really is bizarre.
Right now Lin Weidong and Jiang Xinru had no time to bother with their daughter. Both pairs of eyes were locked on Xiao Xiao standing behind Lin Ruonan.
Mm, tall and slender, fair skin, features delicate as a painting, and those eyes full of feeling—truly a beauty. Especially that pair of eyes and their own son’s peach-blossom eyes—they matched perfectly, like they were made for each other.
Under the four piercing gazes from the two of them, Xiao Xiao felt a chill down her back. Weren’t they supposed to say only Old Mr. Lin was home? Why is everyone here, and why are they looking at her with such terrifying eyes?
