Chapter 1752 “Heavenly Flame and Ling Yan (3)”
If Heavenly had only paid a little more closer attention to the way Di Ling Yan spoke and behaved, then he would surely have connected this child to Bai Yan’s personality. They’re far too similar in certain ways, especially those eyes. To say it’s a carbon copy was a understatement.
Crouching down to pick the little pipsqueak up, the man didn’t think further and walked down the peak with his new charge.
Di Ling Yan accepted the kindness despite her initial tantrum. For some reason, she got a very comfortable feeling once her two arms are wrapped around the man’s neck as he held her. It’s the same type of secure feeling she had when being around her parents and relatives.
……
Monarch Manor.
The whole estate exploded into an uproar after their lord and master returned with a baby in tow. To say it’s a sensation was no understatement since none of these people had ever seen their master get close to anyone here, nor have they seen him act so kindly and pleasant to a mere child. It’s as if the man had transformed into a whole new person to the point even his personality had changed with a flick of a finger.
Simply said, what happened today went beyond any of their imaginations.
When Lady Gu Ya and Senior Gu Lao stepped into the estate later that day to seek an audience, the two were absolutely stunned when they saw the pipsqueak and guy sitting in the front garden eating a vine of grapes together under the sun.
“Lord, my lady has paid so much to get you back, in the end… you would fancy a kid?” Senior Gu Lao’s anger finally broke out, “Furthermore, the child is probably no older than two, right? Does Your Monarchness want to wait a decade or something for her to grow up? But then age doesn’t really matter here since you will look the same regardless so I guess that’s not an issue…”
Imagine having a party being doused with cold water, that’s what occurred with Heavenly’s face right there. Turning to the old fool, he glares with daggering eyes at the source of that comment.
Seeing the man’s ready to explode, Lady Gu Ya hurried to intervene before it’s too late. Pulling at her subordinate’s sleeve to stand back, “Don’t speak like that Senior Gu Lao, the monarch would never do that to a child. How can you even think of Heavenly Flame in that fashion? Are you trying to smear the monarch by saying mere speculations?”
Yes, the child is too young, just thinking of that possibility is giving me the chills.
In light of her thoughts, Heavenly’s gaze still struck a chord in the lady’s heart.
That’s something she’s never seen him like this in his previous life…
Even if it’s just a two-year-old, she just couldn’t keep herself calm.
“When did I need your consent in adopting a child?” Heavenly sneered sarcastically, “This child is well suited with me, that’s why I have decided to take her as my adopted granddaughter. From this day forward, she’s the young lady of this manor, no one is allowed to disrespect her!”
Sometimes, blood really was a magical thing. Even if they didn’t know they’re related, the connection within their blood still draws them together.
“Grandpapa, are you trying to advantage of my father?” Di Ling Yan puckers her lips into a disgruntled smooch as she asked.
Her big brother said that children should be polite to their elders, that’s why she’s willing to address him as such. However, if this man wants to use herself to make Di Cang call address him as a elder too then she won’t accept the arrangement.
