Translator: Lonelytree|
Xiao Lingyu was actually very grateful for Gong Tianhao’s kindness.
However, she owed Xiao Tong too much to let him in.
The expose of Little Cattle King meant the danger of her farming space’s exposure. When she was afraid, Gong Tianhao gave her comfort and also gave her a sense of security.
She knew that Gong Tianhao was capable of protecting her family. She was relieved and thankful
Facing his confession, Xiao Lingyu finally gave him a definite answer. “Okay.
One day, Il give you an answer. But for now, Gong Tianhao, I can only say that
I’m sorry.”
Sorry because she couldn’t give him an answer now. Not only because of Xiao
Tong, but also their identities. Their children and identities worried Xiao
Lingyu.
But when the day came when she really could open her heart to him, she would tell him everything
Gong Tianhao couldn’t hide his excitement. He had finally gotten a little reward for all his hard work. Xiao Lingyu had responded.
Even though she had not completely opened her heart to him, he was still happy.
He leaned on Xiao Lingyu’s shoulder and nodded excitedly, “Yu ‘Er, thank you!”
Feeling his warm breath, Xiao Lingyu sighed softly. Then, she slowly reached out and hugged him back.
Her hug was like a silent acceptance. It made Gong Tianhao even more excited.
He couldn’t help but feel grateful towards the villagers of Taoyuan Village.
They helped him melt Xiao Lingyu’s stone-ike heart. Otherwise, who knew how much longer he’d need to wait.
Gong Tianhao said seriously, “Yu ‘Er, no matter what, I won’t let anyone hurt you and your family”
Xiao Lingyu leaned her head against his broad chest and nodded lightly. “Okay.”
Gong Tianhao returned to the Gong Family. He tapped rhythmically on the table. His face was obviously happy. He frowned and smiled at times. He looked a little silly.
The three people standing in the distance looked at him in disbelief. old Master Gong asked his two subordinates, “What’s wrong with this brat? He is smiling like a fool.”
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang shook their head. “we have no idea.”
However, Xiao Zhang added, “Old Master, but I notice that eldest young master was like this since he returned from the Xiao Family.”
Old Master Gong’s eyes brightened, “The Xiao Family?” Then he nodded, “Then again, that’s right. Only Lingyu can make the brat make this kind of expression.” Ever since his son and daughter-in-law died, his grandson rarely showed his emotions. He was known as the Grim King of Hell in the business world. “He is emotionless around everyone but me, his grandfather. But now,” old Master Gong said happily, “Finally, there’s another person who can make him feel things again. “Fate is truly strange. Who would have thought that these two from completely different worlds would meet.”
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang grew up with Gong Tianhao. They were also very happy for Gong Tianhao.
Xiao Zhang concurred, “old Master, you’re right. There are many places you could have settled to recuperate in the country, but they found Taoyuan Village for you.” “Haha, you’re right.” Old Master Gong looked very happy. “This is fate.”
Xiao Wang said curiously, “T wonder what happened between eldest youn master and Xiao Lingyu that eldest young master would smile so foolishly.”
Then, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang looked at Old Master Gong in unison. old Master Gong knew what they wanted. “Fine..” Old Master Gong straightened his chest and said, “Since you’re so curious, I1l go over and ask.”
To be fair, he was curious too. He wanted to know what Lingyu had done to charm his grandson so. Could she have accepted the brat?
But that was impossible. If that were true, the stinky brat would be showing out and not sitting there, laughing foolishly. old Master Gong walked in front of Gong Tianhao and coughed twice.
Cough cough.
Gong Tianhao didn’t respond. “Cough cough.. old Master Gong coughed once again to remind Gong Tianhao.
Gong Tianhao finally raised his head and said to his grandfather in a worried manner, “Grandfather, have you caught a cold? If you have, you should rest properly and not wander around.” old Master Gong’s face darkened as he pointed his walking stick at Gong
Tianhao and scolded angrily, “You brat. I am perfectly fine. I don’t have a cold!
Gong Tianhao said, “Then grandfather, what exactly are you doing? old Master Gong sat down and asked curiously, “Brat, I should be asking you that! What are you doing? You’re sitting here and smiling foolishly. How embarrassing!”
Gong Tianhao,”.
He realized that ever since his grandfather came to Taoyuan Village, his body and spirit had recovered. However, his tongue had gotten sharper too.
Old Master Gong became anxious when Gong Tianhao didn’t say anything. He added, “Brat, stop acting a fool. You frown one moment and then laugh the next. Even Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang said you look like a fool.
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, old Master, can you not sell us out like that?
Gong Tianhao’s sharp gaze swept over them and said, “Who are you calling silly?If you ask me, you two are the silly ones.”
How is it our fault? old Master Gong said bluntly, “Don’t change the subject. Tell us, why are you sitting here, smiling like a dunce?
Then, he leaned in closer. “Is it related to Lingyu? Is there any new progress?
Gong Tianhao really wanted to give his grandfather a thumbs up.
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “That’s right. I have made some progress with
Yu’er, so I’m happy!” He stood up and prepared to leave.
This made Grandfather Gong’s heart itch.
He tugged on Gong Tianhao’s sleeve and spoke sternly, “You brat, tell me clearly. What progress do you mean? Did she agree to be your wife already?
Gong Tianhao, “… Things wouldn’t progress so fast. Plus, if that was true, he would have carried her home already.
Gong Tianhao glanced at his grandfather’s starry eyes and said, “No. But
Lingyu actively hugged me back.”
After saying that, he left “Wait… What?” Old Master Gong was a little stunned.
By the time he reacted, his eldest grandson was already far away.
Instantly, he stomped his feet in disappointment and pointed at his back as he said loudly, “What nonsense! The girl gave you a hug back, and she turned you into a fool. God. I was happy for nothing!”
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang walked over. Xiao Zhang consoled, “Old Master, don’t be angry. Young Master is right. This is at least a little progress, and it’s good news.”
Xiao Wang said honestly, “That’s right. It is better than nothing. Sooner, the progress will continue to move forward. The good news will become great news. Right? old Master Gong immediately nodded happily and agreed, “Yes, you’re right. A little progress will lead to greater progress. I should just wait to hug my great-grandson.”
He believed that Xiao Lingyu would enter the Gong Family sooner or later. He couldn’t wait to meet his great-grandson..
