Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Lang Li’s Appearance

Brother Mingxi has a puppy, which is a great event in the hearts of Gungun and Xiaojiu. So the next afternoon, the two families go to Mingxi’s house. Xiaojiu has been specially picked up from the kindergarten in advance.

“How lovely!” As soon as Fei Ying enters, she sees a small yellow ball rolls on the ground. Seeing them enter, it seems to be startled and turns its head and purses its tail to run away.

Yan Hua helps Gungun take off his coat and asks, “Isn’t it said that Golden Retrievers are not afraid of people?”

“This one is more timid.” Chen Hong places slippers in order. “Nobody except Mingxi has been allowed to touch it since we came back yesterday.”

“It can have been maltreated, can’t it?” Fei Ying says, “It is said that small animals that have been abused since childhood have psychological shadows. When they grow up, they are not easy to train, and they are timid and not easy to believe in human beings.”

Chen Hong leads them to the sitting room and says, “I don’t think so. The pet store said that it used to be bullied by its siblings when they were young, so it was a little introverted.”

“Ha! Dogs also have such a so-called introversion!” Fei Ying looks at the puppy that has just escaped. Mingxi comes over with it in his arms. It looks at them with big eyes.

Gungun excitedly circles in place, while Xiaojiu tugs at Mingxi’s sleeve.

“Brother, let me hug it! Let me hug it!”

Mingxi lets Xiaojiu sit well and puts the puppy into her arms. The puppy begins to tremble again. Mingxi reaches out to the puppy to smooth its fur and let it not be nervous.

The puppy grunts and yelps a few times, sniffs in Xiaojiu’s arms, and slowly stops moving.

“Brother! Dog! Brother dog!” Gungun feels extremely anxious. It is his first time to contact with small animals. All he saw at his great-grandpa’s place before were big dogs. There were chickens, but those were not funnier than the puppy.

“Look! Our Gungun is too anxious to speak.” Chen Hong laughs and holds Gungun onto the sofa.

Gungun lies on top of Xiaojiu, stretches out his hand and touches the puppy. Just then the puppy raises its head and the wet tip of its nose touches his hand. Gungun lets out a cry and covers his face to hide back into Yan Hua’s arms.

“I really don’t know why he is shy...” Yan Hua is speechless to her son.

Fei Ying is amused with laughter and says quickly, “Xiaojiu, let Gungun hold the puppy.”

“Here you go, Gungun!” Xiaojiu has always been humoring Gungun. She puts up the puppy and hands it over here. Mingxi supports below to prevent the puppy from falling.

But unexpectedly Gungun who has been screaming with excitement, rolls and crawls to hide on Yan Hua’s body, and shouts desperately, “Mommy! Dog, dog bites Gungun, dog bites...”

“It doesn’t bite!” Xiaojiu corrects him, “Dog is obedient.”

The puppy is pinched by his neck and hung in mid-air. It doesn’t feel uncomfortable and looks at Gungun with its big eyes. It probably feels that this chubby kid is the smallest one here, about the same size as it is. So the puppy flutters its short legs and jumps upon Gungun’s body.

“Dog likes Gungun!” Xiaojiu is very envious.

Yan Hua holds the puppy over and the little dog tries its best to climb onto Gungun’s body.

“Look, the dog doesn’t bite. It likes you.” Gungun raises his head, and faces puppy’s big black eyes. The two faces are very close. The puppy whoops and ticks out its tongue to lick Gungun’s nose.

Gungun lets out a cry, covers his nose and opens his eyes wide. Then he leans close to the puppy. “Here, lick again... Lick!”

He feels itchy but comfortable!

“No way.” Yan Hua pushes aside its head. “You can hold and touch it, but you can’t let it lick you. After playing with the puppy, you should wash your hands. Remember?”

Gungun is not afraid at this moment. He shouts, holds the puppy and runs to the carpet near them. Xiaojiu runs after them, and the two little kids are obviously more popular with the puppies than adults. It jumps around on them.

Mingxi sits beside to watch over the younger brother and sister and occasionally the puppy comes to rub against him.

“It’s nice to have a brother.” Yan Hua perceives that this picture is extremely warm.

Fei Ying was taken care of by her elder brother since she was a child. Later, her elder brother became her husband. She proudly says, “Mingxi is just the elder brother of Xiaojiu, biological elder brother!”

“Don’t say so!” Chen Hong doesn’t agree. “In case Xiaojiu wants to be my daughter-in-law, don’t set the seniority in the family for them now.”

Of course she is joking. The children are still so young. Who can say for sure about the future?

After the meal, the three little children continue to play with the puppy. They become familiar. The puppy runs after them all over the house. The barking, screaming and laughter resound through the whole villa. Yan Hua feels it noisy, but Chen Hong is very happy.

“Home should be bustling with many people and loud voice! You two have a look. I chose this island.”

Fei Ying takes the tablet and clicks on it a few times. “It’s beautiful.” In fact, in her opinion, the islands are similar.

Yan Hua looks at that twice. “I have seen the introduction of the island on TV programs. Chinese seldom go there. There are all foreigners.”

“After all, it is a place to spend US dollars. Naturally, there are fewer Chinese.” Chen Hong says, “If you don’t mind, I’ll make a reservation here. You just pack up and leave the rest to me.”

“How will that work?” Yan Hua looks at some pictures of the island. “How can we let you book the hotel by yourself?”

Chen Hong pinches her face. “You have regarded me as an outsider, haven’t you?”

“No, hahaha...” Yan Hua dodges with a smile.

“That’s settled!” Chen Hong makes the decision.

Gungun and Xiaojiu play so excitedly that refuse to leave. Yan Hua has to tell Gungun that if he doesn’t leave then he will sleep alone at Brother Mingxi’s house, Gungun is frightened and embraces Yan Hua’s leg immediately.

“Mommy! Let’s go home.”

Fei Yi comes to pick them. Xiaojiu is so sleepy that she rubs her eyes. The puppy keeps barking like to show them to the door. Chen Hong sends guests away. When she sees the puppy rolling on the ground, she has some thought and asks.

“Son, have you named your dog?”

“Not yet.” Mingxi says earnestly, “I’m still choosing.”

Chen Hong is speechless.

It’s winter vacation, because they will go out during the Spring Festival, so Lang Ruoxian drives with Yan Hua and Gungun to the countryside to pay a New Year’s greeting in advance.

“You really don’t want me to go, do you?” Lang Ruoxian asks several times on the way.

Knowing that they are going to the island for vacation, Lang Ruoxian is worried that Yan Hua won’t let him go with them, and sure enough...

“Why are you going?” Yan Hua is shopping on Taobao to see what she needs to buy.

Lang Ruoxian answers, “Take care of you and Gungun.”

“Don’t need. I’m an adult.”

“Hua, are you really going to draw a clear line with me?”

“Of course not.” Yan Hua smiles.

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t feel relaxed. He hears her say, “You are Gungun’s uncle and I am your sister-in-law. How can we draw a clear line?”

“Then of course I can go.” Lang Ruoxian also smiles. “Everyone knows that my nephew and sister-in-law, orphan and widow have no protection. Naturally, brother will come forward.”

“Must you go?” Yan Hua asks him.

Lang Ruoxian raises his eyebrows. “What do you say?”

“You just do whatever you want.” Yan Hua compromises.

Because she knows that even if she doesn’t agree with him, he will go with her at last. There is no need to quarrel during the New Year because of this. She has drawn a clear line in her heart. To exclude Lang Ruoxian from the bottom of her heart, but in the life...

Since she can’t avoid it, she will accept it frankly.

“Great-grandpa!” As soon as Gungun enters the manor, he shouts. Comparing with what he said the last time, this time he can be simply described as he makes a polished impromptu speech, such as “great-grandpa do you miss Gungun”; “Gungun misses you very much and brings you something delicious.” He also doesn’t forget to show Lang Cha the photos of the puppy.

Lang Cha hasn’t seen Gungun for months, so he won’t let go of his arms. Yan Hua glances at Lang Ruoxian, who points upstairs.

“Grandpa, we go up and see my dad.”

Hearing this, Lang Cha loses his good mood and sighs, “Your father is recovering slowly, and he still can’t walk. But now at least he can talk. Go! If he says anything unpleasant, don’t take it to heart.”

Yan Hua hears Lang Cha say so and knows that Lang Li’s situation is not estimated very well. When they reach the door of a sunny room on the second floor, the door is open. Deng Jingjing wears a cheongsam and is beautifully dressed, sitting in the sun. Opposite is Lang Li, who is collapsed in a wheelchair.

Deng Jingjing is very beautiful. It seems that she is living a good life here!

“Dad, auntie.” Lang Ruoxian walks into the room.

Yan Hua follows him and calls, “Uncle, auntie.”

“Here you are!” Deng Jingjing stands up with a smile and changes the direction of the wheelchair.

Yan Hua sees Lang Li is bald with only a few hair left. The skin on his face seems to peel, which looks terrible. She knows that this is the basic response to the destruction of the immune system, but Lang Li looks clean and even doesn’t have stubble. It is obvious that someone has taken care of him attentively.

“Dad!” Lang Ruoxian walks over and squats beside the wheelchair.

Lang Li moves his neck and it is not easy for him to make very simple moments. He opens his mouth, “Ruo... xian.”

It seems that there is something in his throat, and he can’t say clearly.

“Dad, Yan Hua and I come to see you.”

Yan Hua walks up to the wheelchair and calls him, “Uncle.”

“You... you help... me... find, find a doc-doctor...” Lang Li clenches his fist hard to hit on Lang Ruoxian, but the hand reaches Lang Ruoxian’s clothes and just slips down.

Deng Jingjing whoops and says, “What your father says is that you should find him a good doctor and cure him!”

“Dad, the traditional Chinese medicine you are drinking is the best treatment.” Lang Ruoxian puts on a coat for Lang Li. “You should take your medicine well and keep in a good mood. For a year or so, the toxins are removed from your body, you will slowly get better.”

Lang Li stares at him, Yan Hua feels that his eyes are particularly frightening, as if he is going to eat Lang Ruoxian...

“You... the company...”

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the company. You just come back as soon as your body recovers.”

Deng Jingjing’s mouth corner twitches a bit and sneers in her heart. “Lang Li, no man is wise all the time. The illegitimate child you found and took back yourself is like a written Taoist voodoo which is supposed to hasten your death.”

You dream to recover, haha! Next life.

After living in the manor for a few days, Yan Hua, Gungun and Lang Ruoxian returns to the city on the 28th of December. They are ready to pack up and set off for vacation the next day. On the way, Yan Hua receives a phone call from Fei Ying, saying that Chen Hong has quarreled with someone and almost got into the police station for the matter.

“What about now?” Yan Hua is taken aback.

“At home now...” Fei Ying’s tone is strange. “You should come here quickly and you will know it when you come here.”
