Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Will you hate me?
Baby boy said he missed his grandparents, and that afternoon, Yan Bo and his wife really did come back.
After the boy had finished his nap, he got up by himself, saw his parents’ shadows in the bedroom, and ran out to the living room in his bare feet.
From a distance, he heard familiar voices, the vulnerability he felt when he woke up and couldn’t find his parents immediately dissipated.
"Grandpa, grandma, I’ve missed you so much!"
The little boy shouted as he ran towards the center of the living room.
Yan Bo and his wife, who were discussing something with Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao, quickly stood up and walked over to him.
After only a few steps, baby boy arrived in front of Yan Bo and his wife, threw himself into their arms, rubbed his head on one’s stomach, and then turned to do the same with the other.
"Have you had enough sleep, baby?"
Yan’s wife caressed the toddler’s head, which was buried in her stomach, her eyes watered.
Actually, they had arrived back soon after the boy fell asleep, peeked in to see him sleeping, and then, not wanting to disturb him, went to the living room and discussed recent events.
Baby boy’s face hadn’t completely healed from his accident, so the fact that baby boy had gone missing for a day and a night couldn’t be hidden.
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying tried to briefly explain the incident, but Yan Bo and his wife were not easily fooled.
Therefore, under the persistent questioning of the elderly couple, Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying had no choice but to explain the whole situation, including the current condition of the baby boy.
Yan’s wife cried as she listened to the recounting of events, and just as she was getting her tears under control, the little boy came out.
"Grandma, you and grandpa came back without waking me up!" The little boy pouted and complained, tilting his face up to look at her.
Looking at his fair, tender face now marred by scrapes and bruises, her recently halted tears welled up again.
She hurriedly turned her face away without answering the little boy. Yan Bo patted her on the shoulder and crouched down to pull the baby boy in front of him.
"Because grandpa and grandma will stay with you for a long, long time, so we didn’t hurry to wake you up."
The boy still didn’t look happy, "But I really missed you..."
Seeing the bruises on the boy’s face, Yan Bo was also upset. He hugged the boy tightly, trying to lift him up.
But the little boy was surprisingly conscientious, he quickly, like a loach, squirmed out of Yan’s arms, and then, holding one hand of Yan Bo and one hand of Yan’s wife, said, "Grandpa, grandma, let’s go sit and chat!"
Moments ago, he was a pouting, spoilt little kid, but right now, he was just like an adult.
Mommy told him that grandpa, grandma, and grandma-in-law were all elderly, their bones were more fragile than young people’s, so they couldn’t carry baby boy.
He remembered this very well.
Not until he led the two elders to the sofa and watched them sit down did he climb onto it and nuzzle against Yan’s wife.
"Grandma, do you know that Bai Xiaolu went home with her grandparents..."
This matter has always been haunting the little boy.
Yan’s wife gently stroked his back, "Yes, grandma knows. Just like grandpa and grandma think of you, Xiao Lizi’s grandparents must also miss her, right?"
The little boy nodded, "Baby boy knows, but..."
He understood the reasoning, but his playmate who had suddenly left without saying goodbye still haunted him.
"Beibei and Guoguo said they wanted to come and see you, would you like that?"
Yan’s wife, who was well aware of the story behind Bai Xiaolu’s departure, knew that for the time being, it was a dead end, no matter how it was phrased.
So, she abruptly swerved the conversation another way.
Most children’s attention is easily diverted, and the baby boy was no exception. Upon hearing Yan’s wife’s words, he instantly looked hopeful.
"Really? Of course I’d love to see them!"
Yan Bo and his wife, seeing their grandson’s elated expression, let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, they had arrived in R City early this morning and had originally planned to accompany Le Tong and Ji Rui to settle the subsequent matters before returning to L City. But Ji Yu and Ji Huan persuaded them to return to L City earlier, ensuring them that they would assist their parents in handling the remaining matters.
After coming back, they found out about their grandson’s incident and immediately regretted not inquiring more meticulously during their daily calls.
During their foreign trip, apart from building some health centers in underdeveloped areas as originally planned, they surprisingly found out about whereabouts of Le Ming, Le Tong’s father.
Unfortunately, by the time they followed up on this information, they were told that Le Ming had been infected while treating patients many years ago, and eventually died in a foreign land.
The group of people who had arrived there with Le Ming mostly died due to warfare and plague, leaving no survivors. Therefore, the news of Le Ming’s whereabouts and death could not be delivered back home.
Le Tong and Ji Rui retrieved their father’s belongings and ashes from the local government and rushed back to R City. Yan Bo and his wife accompanied them throughout this period.
The four were initially planning to return to the capital along with the ashes of Le Tong’s mother, and bury them in the Yang family’s ancestral grave after returning to R City.
However, Yan Bo and his wife were persuaded by Ji Yu and Ji Huan at the airport lounge, so they directly bought tickets back to L City and boarded a plane back.
Due to the return of Yan Bo and his wife, the baby boy was very excited for the rest of the day. In the evening, he even took the initiative to take Star for a walk on the beach with his grandparents.
Yan Bo and his wife had only been here two or three times before and hadn’t had much time to look around, so they happily followed their grandson out.
Zhu Qianying was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Yan Shao was standing by the kitchen counter beside her, chatting with her.
The content of their conversation was mostly about the baby boy.
"Ying’er, if one day I have to put the Zhu family in a life or death situation, would you hate me?"
Regarding the Zhu family, Yan Shao was not very sure about where Zhu Qianying’s hatred boundary lies.
Because in her account transactions, Zhu Qianying had been buying stocks of Mingxuan Group when the price was low up until recently.
"No! if they deserve it, and you have to make sure you’re safe when you take action against them."
She didn’t expect much from the Zhu family. And the reason why she reminded Yan Shao in such a special way was not because she looked down on him, but because she still felt that Zhu Junwei was inscrutable.
