Chapter 1578: 1578

Back to Kingstown?

Li Jianqian was still a young kid and not very good at hiding his feelings . When he heard those few words, his eyes immediately lit up .

Rong Haiyue and Rong Xuan were both quick on the uptake . When they noticed his expression, they knew he must have really wanted to return . Something they hadn’t expected happened .

Li Jianqian’s eyes suddenly dimmed as he shook his head . In a quiet voice, he said, “I don’t want to . ”

Rong Xuan was surprised . “Are you saying you don’t want to stay with Grandpa and Grandma, or that you don’t want to go back to Kingstown?”

Rong Haiyue had the exact same question . He rested his hand on the little boy’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry about making us upset . If you don’t want to stay here, we’ll send you back to Kingstown right away . Once Grandpa and Grandma have retired, we’ll head up to Kingstown for an extended period of time . That way, we’ll be able to be together again . ”

When Li Jianqian heard that suggestion, his eyes that had begun to dim slowly brightened up again . His dazzling black eyes were almost identical to Li Sicheng’s .

He looked at Rong Haiyue for a moment before turning to look at Rong Xuan . “Grandpa,” he said, “I don’t want to go back to Kingstown . Really . ”

If he went back to Kingstown, what would become of the room that Grandpa and Grandma had painstakingly prepared for him? They had put so much thought and effort into decorating that room, and everyone had been chosen according to his preferences . After living in the room for the past few days, he truly loved it .

However, it was probably because he was too used to living in Kingstown that he couldn’t get used to living in the Capital within such a short period of time . There was also Ersu and Mosen .

Grandpa and Grandma didn’t have anyone to keep them company . Ersu and Mosen did . Not only did they have family around them, but there were also other children in the villa estate they could play with . They weren’t alone and lonely .

The same couldn’t be said for his grandparents . They were both getting on in age and needed someone by their side . Li Sicheng had said that this was something the Li family owed them . The child of the Rong family, Rong Anna, had died because of them . Otherwise, Rong Xuan and Rong Haiyue wouldn’t be childless .

Although Li Jianqian was still young, he knew that a dutiful son was obliged to pay the debts of his father . Gazing at Rong Xuan earnestly, he said, “Grandma, I find life in the Capital very good . I’m probably just not used to it yet because I just got here . I find your cooking really delicious, Grandma . I really enjoy eating it . ”

Rong Xuan gazed at the 5-year-old child and reached out to stroke his head . “Really?” she asked, “You’re not to lie to Grandma . ”

“I won’t . ” Li Jianqian looked at Rong Xuan and smiled . “Great-grandfather said we’re only on this earth for a few decades . We mustn’t do anything to let ourselves down . ”

Hearing the rascal repeat such a mature principle made Rong Xuan burst out laughing . She ruffled his hair and said, “What your great-grandfather said is right . If at any time you should feel uncomfortable living in Grandma’s house, you just tell us . Grandpa and I will send you back . ”

“Alright!” Li Jianqian mimicked Li Jianyue’s smile . With a mischievous expression, he said, “Don’t you worry! I’ll definitely tell you . ”

Rong Haiyue chuckled . Just as he was about to say something, the telephone rang . He reached out to answer it . The call was from the Li family in Kingstown .

“Jianqian, it’s your grandmother . Come answer the phone . ”

Rong Haiyue waved his hand . Li Jianqian quickly walked over . He picked up the phone and dutifully greeted, “Grandmother . ”

Upon hearing her the voice of her dear grandson, Qin Shuhua’s heart ached from missing him . “Dasu, are you doing alright in the Capital?”

“I’m doing very well,” Li Jianqian said . “Grandpa and Grandma both treat me very well . I’m been doing revision lately, and I hope to be able to skip a grade in school . That way, I’ll be able to graduate sooner and come back to Kingstown to see you . ”
