Chapter 535: Chapter 535 Charm
Wang Yan was sent back by Bai Yue, considering that he’d been non-stop busy these past two days, and now he was bringing back so many people, he must be exhausted from the travel. Bai Yue made a bowl of noodles for Wang Yan and told him to eat and then go home to rest. Besides, her in-laws were currently at her place and didn’t want Wang Yan to go back; she feared that when her son returned, the old man might kick up a fuss.
Li Haishun was now at that age of thirteen or fourteen, when self-esteem is at its strongest and rebellion comes easily. The elder Wang didn’t get along with his sons, and if he really started to bicker, life would indeed become unbearable.
Bai Yue initially thought about letting her in-laws stay in another suite to prevent any conflicts with Old Man Wang. After all, not living together meant less chances of clashing over trivial household items; when people live separately, many conflicts easily dissolve.
But she’d completely forgotten about Little Tangyuan, the treasure of her mother-in-law’s heart!
Why would her mother-in-law agree to that?
Let them stay then; now, all the adults could do was to try their best to handle things well and minimize conflicts as much as possible.
So she immediately sent Wang Yan back.
Wang Yan, of course, understood what his wife was thinking and hurried back home.
As soon as he entered through the door, he saw his mother sitting in the living room eating with a bowl in hand.
Not seeing Little Tangyuan and his father, he found it odd,
"Mom, where are Tangyuan and Dad?"
The old lady pointed toward the bedroom.
Wang Yan peeked in and burst into laughter, which earned him a fierce glare from the old man, who then waved him off dismissively.
He saw the little guy flip over in the old man’s arms and continue sleeping, while the old man tenderly adjusted his arm under the child’s neck and pulled the blanket that had slipped off Little Tangyuan back over her. That face full of affection almost made Wang Yan stare in disbelief.
Good heavens, was this the same stern father of his?
His two younger brothers had fathered four kids between them, all chubby boys, and although his father was very happy about having grandsons, he’d never seen him hold any of them! 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Ever since they were young, whenever the little one approached the old man, he would swiftly keep his distance.
So they all knew that the old man actually didn’t like it; he didn’t want children near him, but now his own Tangyuan was comfortably sleeping on his father’s lap, both of them looking blissfully content.
Wang Yan closed the door and left.
"Mom, what’s up with Dad?"
The old lady said with delight, "Need I say it? Tangyuan’s charm is irresistible; who wouldn’t like her upon seeing her? You may not believe it, but your dad is no match for Tangyuan; he’s completely subdued. At first, you’d think Tangyuan was indifferent to him, staying miles away. But our Little Tangyuan is impressive, she crawled right over to sit on your dad’s legs. You have no idea, the way the two of them looked at each other, so big-eyed and curious, it was really amusing.
Then you saw Tangyuan fall asleep on your dad’s lap. I just finished cooking and asked your dad to put her down on the bed, but he wouldn’t budge. He said we should both come out to eat and that it’s dangerous for the child to possibly wake up and fall off the bed. He held onto her and wouldn’t let go; I’ve never seen him care this much about anyone in my life."
Wang Yan chuckled.
Who’d have thought that it would be Little Tangyuan who’d conquer his stern father.
Life is indeed unpredictable.
On her very first day, Little Tangyuan won over her grandfather with her charm, leaving him with no temper at all.
