Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 552 - 545: Focused Outbreak (Part 4)
At Leng Mansion, Bai Yiran was standing in the yard, calling Leng Yichen, her eyes constantly on Leng Liewei playing with Xiao Xi in front.
It was already very cold, and even though Xiao Xi was wearing a lot, Bai Yiran was still worried that Xiao Xi might catch a cold playing outside like this.
Leng Yichen had gone on a business trip two days ago and was now at the airport preparing to return, expected to be home in the evening.
"When are you coming home?" Leng Yichen asked on the phone.
"Probably after dinner; otherwise, why don’t you come straight over after your flight and have dinner with us?"
Actually, inviting Leng Yichen to dinner was Leng Liewei’s idea. As a father, he couldn’t put down his pride to ask directly, so he came up with every excuse to keep Bai Yiran and Xiao Xi from leaving.
The intention was obvious!
Bai Yiran didn’t want to expose Leng Liewei’s little scheme; she had to be the one to voice it.
Leng Yichen was silent for a moment on the phone, "Okay, I’ll come over later. If you’re hungry, just eat first."
Hanging up the phone, Bai Yiran felt a bit helpless.
Like father, like son, both equally stubborn.
However, Bai Yiran was happy to see the father and son reconcile. So she didn’t mind being the bridge.
Xiao Xi seemed to really like Leng Liewei, staying by his side without crying or fussing, snuggling into his arms to sleep when tired and waking up to continue playing with him.
Seeing the grandfather-grandson pair like that, she indeed had her own agenda. Luna and Qi Hui were still young, and Leng Liewei was still physically strong—it wouldn’t be surprising if there were more children in the future.
At that time, whether it was Luna or Qi Hui, they would see Xiao Xi as a thorn in their side, and unnecessary disputes and troubles would definitely arise.
At that time, Leng Liewei’s stance would be very important.
Now, while both Qi Hui and Luna are not yet pregnant, Xiao Xi and Leng Liewei could spend more time together to deepen their bond.
Leng Liewei came over carrying Xiao Xi, asking awkwardly, "Well? What did he say?"
"Well, he said he would come directly tonight, but it might be a bit late, so he told us to eat first."
"Okay." Leng Liewei nodded, carrying Xiao Xi straight into the house, "Xiao Wu, tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes tonight! And don’t forget to make fish!"
Bai Yiran smiled as she watched Leng Liewei; Leng Yichen liked eating fish—so he knew!
It seemed there was affection between this father and son, but they were just too stubborn and tough, not knowing how to communicate and express it. So, they had grown distant over time.
But now, it’s not too late!
"Your dad will be back tonight. Does Xiao Xi like grandpa or dad more?"
Xiao Xi waved his little hands, patting Leng Liewei’s shoulder, babbling, making Leng Liewei laugh heartily.
Xiao Xi’s actions were unconscious; she didn’t even understand what Leng Liewei said. But at this moment, Leng Liewei wouldn’t bother to figure out whether Xiao Xi’s actions were intentional or not, as long as he felt happy inside.
Qi Hui watched coldly from the side, her heart disdaining Xiao Xi.
Luna couldn’t have children; Leng Liewei didn’t know this yet. However, this precisely had become her leverage!
As long as she was lucky enough to have a son in the future, it would be like holding a card in her hand, maybe even contending for Huamei International!
In the master bedroom, Luna sat sulking on the bed, flipping through her phone. The door was open, and she could occasionally hear the faint laughter of Leng Liewei from downstairs.
Thinking about how Leng Liewei, Qi Hui, Bai Yiran, and Xiao Xi were all downstairs happily together made her feel stifled inside
!
Sister Wu came in, shook her head at Luna’s attitude, "Xiao Na, what are you doing staying in your room at this time?"
"Where else would I be if not here?" Luna said sullenly.
"Everyone’s downstairs. The old man likes that little girl, even that bitch Qi Hui is downstairs flattering Bai Yiran and that girl. Staying here makes no sense!"
Sister Wu was a bit exasperated, feeling Luna was just causing herself grief!
"I’m not going downstairs! I can’t stand that smug look on Bai Yiran’s face! And that brat, so scheming at such a young age, cries when she sees me, smiles when she sees Old Leng! How annoying! Really wish they were all dead already!"
Sister Wu was shocked, quickly gesturing for Luna to be quiet, because she clearly saw a shadow flash across the doorway as Luna was speaking just now.
