Chapter 1290 - 1289: They’re Back
On one side, Jing Changle wanted to see Jing Yuansi; on the other side, Gong Yunfei got in touch with Tian Zhi, hoping to persuade Luo Yirui to talk some sense into Jing Changle. Tian Zhi didn’t feel right making decisions for Luo Yirui, and said he’d tell Luo Yirui about it—how to handle it would be up to him.
Gong Yunfei was a bit stunned too. Luo Yirui was just a kid of a few years old—if Tian Zhi talked to him, wouldn’t he listen? Then she remembered what Jing Yuansi had said about everything they’d been through along the way, and finally realized Jing Yuansi hadn’t been exaggerating, and that Qingyu treated Luo Yirui very differently from an ordinary child.
Someone from the Fu Family came, a young man wearing glasses. If Luo Yirui had been there, he would’ve recognized him as one of the people who went to the castle. This man said he wasn’t here to pay a formal visit this time, just to pass on a message: when Madam Bei returned, the Fu Family’s Family Head would personally come by to express his thanks.
Tian Zhi felt that compared to the Pengge Sect and the Xunyue School, the Fu Family seemed to value communication with Qingyu more, and also took their own younger generation more seriously.
That evening, Luo Yirui was hanging out with Strawberry Mango. After being away so long, his grandparents missed him, and Strawberry Mango missed him too.
"Brother, next time you go, take us with you, okay?" Mango Luo Yiqian sprawled on the sofa and said to Luo Yirui.
Luo Yirui was helpless. "I’m not going to play, I’m going to carry out a mission!"
"We can help you carry out the mission~" Mango said with a grinning face.
Luo Yirui pressed his lips into a smile. "Are you going there to act cute or to cause trouble?"
Mango Luo Yiqian blinked. No matter which option she picked, it felt wrong...
Cao Mei Luo Yixuan burst out laughing, her pretty eyes curving like crescent moons. "Little Ruirui is like a little old man."
Luo Yirui’s face went dark. "Call me Brother!" He poked Strawberry’s cheek and emphasized, "Even if I’m older by one minute, I’m still your brother!"
"Okay, okay." Strawberry agreed in a totally half-hearted way.
"And I’m not a little old man, I’m just mature! Do you understand mature? It means I’ve already grown up!"
Mango Luo Yiqian tilted her head with a giggly smile and said, "Once you grow up you’ll get tall, but Brother, you’re still so short~"
Luo Yirui was so mad he could hardly breathe. When he can’t see them he misses them, and when he sees them they drive him up the wall. No wonder Black Coal Ball hides from them!
Mrs. Qin watched the three children playing and chatting from the side, worry showing in her eyes as she asked, "Little Rui, did your mom and dad say when they’d be back?"
Before Luo Yirui could answer, Gao Ma came trotting in with a smile on her face. "Madam and the others are back."
Mrs. Qin stood up in a rush and headed out. The three little buns were a step faster than her and had already dashed outside.
By the time the little buns rushed into the small courtyard, Beisitian and Luo Xudong had already entered the living room and were drinking the water Wei Zhongyuan had poured for them.
Nothing showed on Beisitian and Luo Xudong’s faces, but Wei Zhongxun could see the exhaustion. His face was a bit pale; he’d clearly been injured.
As Luo Yirui had just walked over, a dark shadow suddenly pounced at him. He didn’t even need to think to know who it was. Black Coal Ball lightly hopped onto his shoulder and affectionately rubbed against his cheek.
As Black Coal Ball rubbed away, it suddenly felt two fiercely invasive gazes sweep over, making it shiver involuntarily. It turned its head and saw the two little demons squinting their crescent-moon eyes at it, smiling.
The fright was no joke—Black Coal Ball was so scared it almost fell off Luo Yirui.
"Daddyyy, Mommmyyy~"
The two little buns ran toward Beisitian and Luo Xudong, and Black Coal Ball let out a huge sigh of relief.
