âMiss Bai Yan, this here is Fairy City and the only way to the Misty Fairy House.â Flowing with people before their eyes, Wang Deqiu proudly introduces his home city.
âMmm,â staring down at the bustling street, Bai Yan reveals a meaningful smile that somehow carried a strangeness to it. âI think Xiachen is getting tired, letâs go to your familyâs home first so we can get some rest.â
âYes, of course.â
Bellowing out a hearty laugh, the middle-aged man couldnât ask for more. Heâs long wanted to invite Bai Yan to stay at his home, just that he didnât have the courage to ask. Now that the womanâs personally asking for it, how could he refuse?
Besides, letting my stupid son follow Xiachen around would help him learn a lot.
âMy mother said that a person needs to be filial. You may not want to go back but that doesnât mean you can hinder your father from doing so. Besides, my mother always said it, never cower before tyranny. If they bully you then bully them back.â
The voices of these two little ones may be small, but its more than enough to drift into the ears of the adults.
âLook at how sensible your friend Xiachen is compared to yourself. If you can be just as half as good as him then I can be at ease!â Shooting a daggering glare at his own brat, Wang Daqiu openly reprimands the poor chubby.
This really is that old saying of coming back to bite me in the ass: the child of other people is always better. If only this ignorant brat could just be a bit more sensible, then just maybeâ¦. Maybe back then my old pops wouldnât have kicked us out. No matter what Xiaopeng is still his grandson, how can a grandpa not care?
Exasperated with steam on his face, the chubby didnât agree in the least. As such, he turns to his younger sister for support: âXiaotong, do you recognize me?â
âIâ¦.â Shy and childish in her response, the little girl was truly adorable in her appearance, âI think whatever Brother Xiachen says is right.â
Choking for the longest time, the only thing Wang Xiaopang managed to spell out afterwards were a phrase that none had expected: âA woman is born to leave her family!â
âOoomph,â coughing hard at his sonâs outburst, Wang Deqiu didnât forget to apologize to the guests after shooting a warning glare at the chubby. âMiss Bai Yan, my apologies for his ignorance, please donât take it to heart. Anyways, itâs getting late already, let us head over to the Wang House first so we can all take a rest.â
Slightly nodding her head, Bai Yan pleasantly rubs her sonâs head as confirmation: âLetâs go then.â
â¦â¦
Even so, nothing could remain stable forever, this clan was no different. Aside from its special status, the Wang family was but a shadow of its former glory nowadays.
Right now, due to the messengers running ahead of time, many of the members of this household was already standing in wait outside the estate. Thatâs why, when Bai Yan and her group arrived on scene, the first thing to come into their view was a gray-haired elder of serious expression.
âYou are back.â
âYes Father, your unfilial son is back.â Acting like a poorly disciplined puppy, Wang Deqiu lost all semblance of a stern character that he shows to his own children.
As for Wang Xiaopeng, the poor chubby could only hide behind his friendâs back due to how fearful he was of the old grandpa. But with his size, how could the kid possibly cover that huge body of his?
So, the elder only needed a glance to locate the brat.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
