"What happened?" Ye Mingi asked anxiously.
"..."
ii retreated in a panic, shaking her head desperately.
Her big watery eyes were brimming with tears, on the verge of crying out of fear.
She caught sight of Ye Zhanxing walking down the stairs and imdiately turned towards him.
"Grandpa..."
"What’s wrong with my little princess, why are your eyes red? Don’t cry, don’t cry, grandpa cares." Ye Zhanxing bent down to pick up the little girl and then turned to glare at Ye Mingi.
"Why can’t you speak softly to the child? Can’t you see you’ve frightened my little treasure?"
"Dad..."
Ye Mingi approached and pulled Ye Zhanxing’s arm, "You used to say I was your most cherished treasure, but now all you see is ii!"
"You’re already a mother, yet you’re jealous of your own daughter. Co, little princess, tell grandpa what your mom did to upset you and make you cry."
Ye Zhanxing carried ii towards the sofa with a robust yet tender deanor.
Having had cancer, even with surgery to remove part of the cancer cells, no one can guarantee it won’t co back at any ti.
He’s now soone with one foot in the grave, living each day as if it’s his last, wishing nothing more than to see his descendants healthy and safe.
"It’s ii’s fault, I made mom unhappy." ii pouted, twisting her fingers anxiously, with her head down.
"This child is good in every way, just too thoughtful, sensible to the point of heartbreak; yet you bear resentnt against her."
Ye Zhanxing shot another glare at Ye Mingi, lovingly patted ii’s head, and just as he reached for the backpack on the sofa, ii hurriedly crawled over to hold it in her arms.
"I wasn’t upset with her, just asked her about her howork at kindergarten; see, dad, you witnessed this, don’t bla ." Ye Mingi spread her hands, seeing Zhanxing protect ii, decided to hold off on what she intended to ask.
Ye Zhanxing was famous for doting on the kids; if anyone dared to scold Tingye or ii in front of him, he would not tolerate it.
If he could swallow the two little darlings whole to keep them safe from harm, he would.
It might be expected for ii since she’s a girl, but Tingye, that little rascal, it’s a blessing if he doesn’t bully others; who could possibly bully him?
"If she doesn’t want to, don’t force her. ii is a sensible child, you must be careful not to stress the child."
After speaking, Ye Zhanxing signaled the butler to put ii’s bag in her room.
"Let the butler put your backpack away, let’s wash our hands and get ready to eat."
"..."
ii glanced at the butler, then looked up at Ye Zhanxing’s smiling face, hesitated a mont before timidly releasing her grip.
"Thank you, Grandpa Butler."
"No need for such formality, little miss." The butler took her backpack to the room, finally bringing a smile to ii’s face.
Nestled in Ye Zhanxing’s arms, she began narrating what the teacher taught in class, imitating the teacher’s voice flawlessly, like a little prodigy.
Before the al, she’d already amused Ye Zhanxing with laughter, holding her and spinning her around.
The grandfather and granddaughter enjoyed their ti imnsely, while Ye Mingi watched from the side, her brow furrowing deeper.
ii’s ability to express herself is so good, she’s so clever and adorable, how could it be that other kids don’t want to play with her?
