Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Not a Good Feeling
He Yirong was highly suspicious that He Jingyao did it on purpose.
Over there, it was lively and bustling, which made his loneliness here seem even more desolate.
At the same time, he felt annoyed inside. Ziyi was usually so thoughtful, so why was he being so insensitive now? Didn’t he know to come over and keep him company?
He Yirong sulked as he listened to Xiaobao’s laughter, feeling even worse inside.
By now, he no longer doubted the child’s lineage, but since he had stubbornly refused to acknowledge it initially and had been argued with by He Jingyao numerous times, it was hard for him to now put on a loving face.
That scoundrel He Jingyao was clearly intent on opposing him! Just thinking of his son’s rebelliousness gave him a headache.
He Yirong simply closed his eyes to feign sleep, pretending he heard nothing.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he suddenly felt someone patting his thigh.
Upon opening his eyes, He Yirong saw Xiaobao standing in front of him with a smile, holding up a piece of candy.
“Grandpa, do you want some candy?” Xiaobao asked, propping one hand on He Yirong’s knee and holding up the candy with the other, his eyes hopeful and gleaming like dark grapes.
He Yirong’s heart softened, nearly overwhelmed with tears.
“Mmm, Grandpa will have some.” He Yirong took the candy and grasped the child’s hand. “Thank you, Xiaobao.”
“Grandpa, mom says I’m too noisy and won’t let me go back,” he said cheerily as he leaned against He Yirong. “Can I sit with you?”
“Umm…” He Yirong fought back his tears and kept a straight face as he nodded, “You sit here. Grandpa is here.”
“Grandpa, you are so nice.” Xiaobao’s sweet talk came easily.
He Yirong couldn’t hold back any longer and embraced him tightly. “Grandpa will hold you. You can sleep if you want.”
Xiaobao giggled and nestled in his embrace.
He Yirong held the child’s soft body tightly, forcing back his tears. Indeed, at his age, to be almost moved to tears by such a trivial thing was really embarrassing.
He asked softly, “Did your mom send you here?”
Xiaobao nodded. “Mom has a little sister in her belly, and dad won’t let me climb on her, so Mom sent me here to be with you, Grandpa.”
He Yirong stroked his head, filled with emotion.
He knew Su Zixi must have seen that he was upset being alone, so she specifically sent Xiaobao to keep him company.
He disliked Su Zixi initially because she came from a humble background, and later, it was actually because he couldn’t stand seeing his son blindly led by a woman. Since he couldn’t prevail over He Jingyao, he vented his anger on her.
Yet, he had never considered why his son was so devoted to that woman.
At this moment, he suddenly understood a little.
What he had done, any other woman might have hated him to death by now.
For the first time, a bit of guilt and regret arose in He Yirong’s heart.
“Xiaobao, your mom…” He Yirong hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to ask. Get full chapters from novel(ꜰ)ire.net
“Mom is biased.” Xiaobao blurted out unexpectedly. “Grandpa, do you know? Her favorite is actually dad, she really favors dad. It makes me so mad, no one favors me.”
He Yirong couldn’t help but smile. “Grandpa will be biased towards you. From now on, you are my favorite.”
“More than dad?” Xiaobao’s eyes widened.
He Yirong nodded. “Absolutely!”
That brat had been annoying him for years!
“Then I love Grandpa the most too.” Xiaobao smiled, his eyes curving.
