Chapter 1753 “Heavenly Flame and Ling Yan (4)”
Of course, what Di Ling Yan doesn’t know was that even if Heavenly doesn’t take herself as his granddaughter, Di Cang would still have to call this old grandpapa his father-in-law.
“Ling Yan, I won’t force you to be granddaughter if you don’t wish it; however, I will still treat you as such regardless. From now on you will be the Monarch Manor’s young little lady.” Despite the indifference from the pipsqueak, Heavenly continues to dote on the baby.
How could he ever bear to force the girl?
As long as she doesn’t want to do anything then he would never force her!
No woman likes hearing their crush favoring another lady, Lady Gu Ya was no difference in the way she tensed up those hands.
Forcing her dreadful mood back inside so it doesn’t show: “Heavenly, this girl is really cute, it’s no wonder you’ve taken such a strong liking to her. If it were me, I too would…”
Slowly walking back to the pipsqueak, the lady crouches down and smiled even deeper: “Little girl, I also like you very much, can I give you a hug?”
Under normal circ.u.mstances Di Ling Yan would not refuse others – plus Gu Ya did not show any malice – but she just didn’t want to be held by another person today. To show her childish tantrum, the pipsqueak squirms closer into the man’s arm to hide.
A child’s instinct doesn’t lie. There’s no malice but there’s also no kindness.
“No, need,” said Heavenly, “this girl isn’t comfortable with strangers.”
Lady Gu Ya’s smiled froze into an icicle.
Doesn’t like strangers? If she doesn’t like strangers then why would the la.s.s follow the monarch?
She’s already prepared herself to accept this unknown kid. As long as he likes it, Gu Ya would accept the girl as her own to form a cohesive family. She’s already willing to go that far, why won’t they accept her gesture?
“Is there anything else?” Heavenly looks up and asked again after realizing he hasn’t gotten the reasoning of their visit.
Bowing her head to show respect: “I have not seen you for a long time, I was hoping to have a conversation with you since you came back….”
Faintly furrowing his forehead, Heavenly’s gaze fell upon the lady and felt perplexed: “Gu Ya, I know what you want. I am forever grateful that you helped me, I am also willing to use anything to repay you for this debt, but I cannot offer myself, do you understand?”
In this life, only Bai Ning could stand beside himself. His heart has no room left for any other woman, even if this Gu Ya waited centuries for himself, he could not go against what’s inside.
That hard and direct refusal hurts. Gu Ya knew being rejected like this wasn’t some far off idea, but to experience it still hurts!
“I see,” she smiles in the saddest fas.h.i.+on she knew how.
But I won’t give up…
“Gu Lao, let’s take our leave then, we mustn’t disturb the monarch’s rest.” Giving one final glance at the pipsqueak hiding in the love of her life’s arm, the lady turns and headed for the exit.
Senior Gu Lao resented this. He wanted to defend his lady and fight on her behalf, but what could he do? He’s no match for this man who disappointed the lady’s feeling.
After the two figures left, Di Ling Yan finally loosened her grip to look up at the man with curiosity: “Grandpapa, is your name Heavenly?”
Smiling as he gave the pipsqueak and gentle rub on the head: “That name was from a long time ago, now I have a new name, it’s Wen Yun Feng.”
