Mo Ye was too young to understand what the aunty beside him was saying but when he saw the house in front of him, he knew that this wasn’t his home.

Wu Xiaomin carried Mo Ye to the metal gates and yelled, “Is anyone home?”

She called out a few times and finally, a young girl who was around 16 years old emerge from the house. She was Cheng Tao’s younger sister, Cheng Ningxin.

Wu Xiaomin said loudly, “This child belongs to the Cheng family, so take him back.” She didn’t wait for the girl to respond before she jumped back into the car.

Mo Ye quickly ran after her when he noticed that the aunty beside him had left but he could not catch up with the car. He could only watch as the car drove further and further away.

“Wah…” he suddenly sensed that something was wrong and immediately burst into tears and rubbed at his eyes with his tiny fists. He sat on the floor and wailed loudly, looking very pitiful while doing so.

Back at the castle.

It was livelier than usual today since Ye Snr. and Xia Jingshu were visiting together with their maids and they were here to take Xi Xi over to Qin Garden.

They had gotten a fright when they heard that Ye Hao wanted to go on a trip with their precious granddaughter. What was this young couple thinking and how could they allow a two-month-old infant to travel on a long-haul flight? Moreover, this was a multi-city holiday, so each location would have a different climate. If their little granddaughter was unable to adapt the various climates and fell sick, what were they going to do?

Those two idiots!

The moment Xia Jingshu heard that her granddaughter would be brought out of the country on a holiday, she was so anxious that she dragged Ye Snr. to visit her son.

Xi Xi lay in her nanny’s arms and she had grown a little bigger recently. She looked very adorable and her cheeks were red and rosy. She had inherited her father’s eyes which were a rare amber color and they shone like crystals. Her lips pouted as she babbled nonsensical sounds that no one could make any sense of.

Yuan Yuan poked his head out from behind the sofa. He was already more than a year old and had grown to become more playful and adorable. The entire castle was like his personal playground and his toys could be found all over the castle.

Yuan Yuan walked toward Xia Jingshu and he stared at his sister in her arms with his dark eyes. Then, he reached out to pat his sister’s cheeks and giggled to himself after that.

Xia Jingshu paused for a moment and looked at Yuan Yuan with a conflicted expression. This child was a lovely child and he was both clever and adorable at the same time. Unfortunately…

She felt a little upset at the thought of those things as well as the news that were splashed all over recently.

Yuan Yuan had hardly ever seen Xia Jingshu, so he had never come across the word ‘grandma.’

He scratched his head and thought for a while before he said, “Aunty…”

Xia Jingshu was speechless.

Ye Hao appeared behind her and took Yuan Yuan’s hand in his. Then, he pointed at his mother and said, “Yuan Yuan, this is your grandmother, so you should call her ‘grandma’, do you understand?”

Ye Hao suddenly realized that Yuan Yuan had never once uttered the words ‘grandmother’ or ‘grandfather’ because he hardly ever saw them.

Yuan Yuan smiled toothily at his father, then looked at Xia Jingshu. He blinked his bright eyes at her, then finally said ‘grandmother’ but his pronunciation was a little off.

Xia Jingshu smiled and acknowledged his greeting. This was her time being addressed as ‘grandmother’, and despite her happiness, she still felt conflicted. Everyone knew of this child’s parentage after the news broke.

“Ah Hao, take a seat. I’d like to discuss something with you.”
