Chapter 814: Chapter 679: I Don’t Want to Miss a Single Day of Watching You Grow (Part 1)

"Grandpa doesn’t like me drinking alcohol, can you go get me a coat? I’m going to rinse my mouth." Yuan Hang said as he quickly walked into the bathroom.

Kou’er paused for a moment and followed him in, "Grandpa and Yi Luowa are leaving on Monday, Yi Luowa asked me to prepare. While I was packing clothes, Si Ming saw it, and for every piece I packed, he would throw one out. I’ve been thinking, if both of us leave, what will happen to Si Ming?"

Yuan Hang’s hand on the faucet trembled slightly.

"Yi Luowa said today she and Second Uncle are going to talk to us separately. She calls this ’first be polite, then use force,’ and told me to analyze the meaning of these four words myself. I sat there thinking for a long time before I realized a truth—Grandpa hasn’t spoken yet. Because when he speaks, it’s an order. Do you dare to disobey? Even if you go to Grandpa crying and causing a fuss, do you think he’ll approve your request for retirement?"

Yuan Hang frowned slightly, "Kou’er, did Yi Luowa manage to convert you with just a few words?"

"It’s not her who converted me, it’s myself who understood. The masters think so thoroughly for us, if we still cannot appreciate it, aren’t you afraid of hurting Fourth Master’s feelings?"

"You’re worried about the child, aren’t you?" Yuan Hang glanced at her coldly, picked up the cup and filled it with water.

"I am indeed worried about the child. We’re orphans without parents; we understand the feelings of being without a mom and dad the best. Si Ming clearly has parents, yet we’re making him live a life without them. I feel so sorry for the child."

"If you want to be fair to the child, then you have to be unfair to Grandpa!" Yuan Hang finished rinsing his mouth, stepped around Kou’er, and walked out.

"Daddy~" Si Ming heard his father’s voice and dashed out of the room.

Yuan Hang bent down to pick up his son, gazed at him for several seconds, then smiled and said, "In a few days, Daddy and Mommy will be going away for a while. Will you stay at home and play with Auntie?"

"No! I don’t like it!" Si Ming clung tightly to his dad’s neck.

"Once Daddy and Mommy leave, Auntie will take you to live with Brother Zi Xi."

Si Ming pouted and began to cry aloud.

Yuan Hang silently placed Si Ming into Kou’er’s arms, picked up a clean coat and walked out the door.

"Daddy—" Si Ming yelled for his father with all his might.

Yuan Hang’s eyes slightly reddened, and he quickly walked out.

Tong Airui had just put down his chopsticks when Yuan Hang came into the room.

Yi Luowa looked at his ashen face and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

"I have." Yuan Hang walked up to Tong Airui, "Grandpa, I have something I want to say to you."

Tong Airui looked up at him, "I just finished my meal, can’t you let me catch my breath?"

Yuan Hang pointed at his own chest, "I’m still feeling stuck here."

"Then keep it stuck for a little longer!" Tong Airui took the teacup handed by his wife and took a slow sip.

"Pfft—" Tong Aino, sitting nearby, chuckled, "Yuan Hang, how did you manage to provoke the most vengeful person in our family?"

"Fifth Master, judge for me. I didn’t do anything wrong, but my family grandpa doesn’t want me anymore. What’s the reason for that?"

Tong Aino touched his nose, "I forgot, there’s a video meeting today. I’ll go see if everyone is here."

"Yuan Hang, have some tea." Yi Luowa handed the teacup to Yuan Hang.

Yuan Hang took it, didn’t drink, and placed it back on the coffee table. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Mi Chenxuan hummed a little tune as he came out from the dining room. Seeing Yuan Hang, he turned to run.

Yuan Hang frowned and called out, "I’m not a plague, why are you avoiding me?"

"I’d better stay out of your way for the next few days." Mi Chenxuan quickly took several steps to get upstairs.

Yi Luowa smirked, "I’ll go check on the children. You two stay here and have a staring contest!"

Yuan Hang glanced at her, "Yi Luowa, I have something to say to you..."

Yi Luowa laughed, "I’ve said what needed to be said to Kou’er. If you don’t understand, wait for Tong Airui to explain it to you."

"If I wait for him to speak, it’ll take forever."

"Good that you know, he’s not in a good mood today, be careful!" Yi Luowa laughed as she headed upstairs.

Tong Airui shot Yuan Hang a side glance, picked up the teacup, and slowly sipped.

"Grandpa, you can’t abandon me, after all, we’ve been together for over twenty years. I’ve made up my mind, I’ll retire, so I can be with you all the time."

Yuan Hang tilted his head to glance at Tong Airui, seeing that he ignored him, he continued, "Grandpa, I won’t be comfortable with anyone else protecting you by your side. It’ll cause me sleepless nights which will affect work."

"..." Tong Airui picked up the teacup and gently blew.

"Grandpa..."

"Dad~" Sangyu ran down from upstairs, greeted Yuan Hang, and said to Tong Airui, "Dad, play with me for a bit."

Tong Airui pinched his daughter’s cheek with a smile, "Did you finish your homework?"

"Not yet."

"You’ve been home for so long and still haven’t finished your homework. What have you been doing?"

"Cheering up Aunt, of course." Sangyu knelt on her dad’s lap and whispered, "Aunt is younger than us; we have to amuse her. So childish!"

Tong Airui protected his daughter with his hand, "Don’t talk about Aunt like that! Sangyu, Daddy and Mommy will be leaving in a few days. While we’re not home, you need to help take care of Aunt."

Sangyu pouted and asked, "Dad, if you leave, what about us? Who’s going to protect us?"

Tong Airui pointed to Yuan Hang sitting beside him, "Yuan Hang will be at home. Let him bring Si Ming over to stay with you, so he can take care of you all. Sangyu, listen to Daddy, you’re growing up. In the future, your mom and I will be traveling abroad often, and we’ll rely on you and Yuan Hang to take care of the house. Can you take care of the family?"

Sangyu nodded vigorously, "I can!"

Tong Airui lightly curled his lips, "Yuan Hang, you’re not even as good as a child!"

"..." Yuan Hang’s lips moved, but he didn’t say a word.

"These three kids are my life. I trust them with you the most. You’ve been with me so long, and you still haven’t figured that out."

Yuan Hang lowered his head in shame.

"Go do your homework!" Tong Airui gently patted his daughter on the back.

Sangyu climbed off her father’s lap, greeted Yuan Hang, and ran upstairs.

Yi Luowa saw her daughter coming up and smiled, pulling her into the room, "Mission accomplished?"

"So—easy." Sangyu puffed out her chest proudly.

Yi Luowa kissed her forehead with a smile, "Good girl! Our Sangyu is so capable. When Mommy comes back, I’ll take you to the amusement park."

Sangyu waved her hand dismissively, "Forget it, Mommy. We already agreed with that childish aunt. When you two leave, we’ll go out to play."

"You cheeky girl, how dare you disdain me!" Yi Luowa playfully patted her daughter’s little bottom.

Sangyu pouted, "I really don’t want to disdain you, but seriously, how many times have you actually taken us out?"

Yi Luowa apologized and hugged her daughter, "It’s Mommy’s fault for being so busy with who knows what all the time."

Sangyu lifted her little hand and gently patted her mom’s back, "Mommy, we’re not blaming you. We still have Grandpa, and he takes us out to play."

"Well, Grandpa and Grandma aren’t home right now, and you’re the most sensible one at home. From now on, you’re in charge of teaching your little brothers and sister. Mommy promises that even if I’m busy after leaving, I’ll call you every day."

Sangyu nodded, "Mommy, don’t worry."

"With you here, Mommy feels at ease." Yi Luowa smiled and held her daughter’s little hand, "Thank you."

Sangyu giggled, "Mommy, it’s no trouble at all. I’ll go do my homework."

"Go on."

After soothing her daughter, Yi Luowa called Ziyan over.

Yi Luowa had just finished saying all sorts of nice words when Ziyan laughed, "Mommy, I’m not Sangyu, you don’t need to be so nice to me."

Yi Luowa smiled and tugged at his ear, "Being too smart isn’t good!"

"I also want to be a little silly, but look at this, I’m all goosebumps." Ziyan rolled up his sleeve to show his mother.

Yi Luowa gave a helpless smile, "Alright, I won’t flatter you anymore. Let’s talk about something serious. You’re the big brother, so you must help Mommy take good care of your little brother and sister."

"I guarantee to complete the task." Ziyan formally saluted his mother.

Yi Luowa smiled with relief, "Son, Mommy is just afraid of you all crying. When your dad and I leave, all of you, don’t see us off."

"Hmm, I’ve already arranged with Aunt to go to the amusement park when you and Dad leave. This way, we can distract ourselves and won’t cry," Ziyan said and hugged his mom tightly, "Mommy, but even if I don’t cry, I’ll miss you."

"Mommy will miss you all too. Son, there will be a lot of days like this in the future, and we all need to slowly adapt. If there’s even a chance your dad doesn’t take me with him, I won’t go. Mommy really doesn’t want to miss a single day of you growing up."

"Mommy, I’ll record videos for you, so you won’t miss anything."

"Thank you, son!" Yi Luowa smiled and hugged her son tightly.
