Chapter 1018: Uncle Is Here
As Zhou Yao was eating the last glutinous rice ball, Mother Zhou ran out. “Zhiyuan, you…”
Mother Zhou’s words came to an abrupt end because she saw her daughter-in-law feeding her son. Mother Zhou was at a loss for words.
She didn’t know whether to leave or not.
“Mom.” Leng Zhiyuan quickly withdrew her hand. She was also a little embarra.s.sed. “What do you need?”
“Grandma!” At this moment, Zhou Sileng pounced over and hugged Mother Zhou’s thigh. He raised his fair little face and said in a crisp voice, “Grandma, daddy is such a kid. Mommy fed me glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s, and daddy also wants mommy to feed him.”
“Hh, haha…” Mother Zhou looked at her grandson and smiled awkwardly. She kept mumbling to herself, “Just get used to it, just get used to it…”
Leng Zhiyuan didn’t know what to say.
As one of the parties involved, Zhou Yao’s expression did not change at all. He was very calm. He glanced at his son and said unhappily, “Zhou Sileng!”
Zhou Sileng quickly hid behind Mother Zhou’s leg. He did not look at Zhou Yao but directly looked at Leng Zhiyuan. He pouted and said aggrievedly, “Mommy, daddy is scolding me. Sileng is so sad…”
Leng Zhiyuan could not bear to see her son’s sad expression. She reached out and tugged at Zhou Yao’s sleeve.
Zhou Yao was speechless.
Zhou Sileng became very happy. He finally understood that everyone had their weakness. Mommy was daddy’s weakness, and mommy was also his biggest support!
From then on, his world blossomed.
Just as Zhou Sileng was rejoicing, a bright light shone from afar. A luxurious black car slowly approached the lawn in front of him.
The driver’s door opened, and a tall and upright figure walked out.
Mother Zhou was delighted. “Sileng, it’s your uncle!”
“Uncle!” Zhou Sileng’s eyes lit up. He immediately bolted forward like a wild horse.
Leng Hao had arrived. Today, the man was wearing a black coat, a clean white s.h.i.+rt, a tie, and a navy blue vest. His handsome, mixed-race-like face was immersed in the cold night dew, cold and clear.
He held a gift in his right hand. When Zhou Sileng rushed towards him, he squatted down on one knee and caught Little Sileng. There was a trace of warmth on the man’s cold face. He reached out and touched little Sileng’s soft black hair, his eyes were filled with love for this little nephew. “Sileng, you’ve grown a little taller.”
“Of course!” Zhou Sileng was very proud. “My daddy and uncle are both so tall. I’ll be at least six feet tall when I grow up.”
“Mmm.” Leng Hao nodded. He gave the gift to little Sileng. “Sileng, the transformer you mentioned to uncle last time, it’s a limited edition.”
“Wow!” Zhou Sileng cheered immediately. “Uncle, I just mentioned it casually. How did you get it?”
At this moment, Zhou Yao and Leng Zhiyuan walked over. Zhou Yao curled his lips and smiled. “Big brother, you’ll spoil him like this.”
Zhou Sileng quickly hugged the gift in his arms. He made a face at his daddy and retorted, “Then why aren’t you worried that mommy might spoil you?”
“Sileng!” Leng Zhiyuan gave little Sileng a look of disapproval. What was going on? He shouldn’t be talking about such a matter in public.
“Big brother!” Leng Zhiyuan hadn’t seen her big brother for four years. She looked at Leng Hao with a very soft smile.
Leng Hao looked at his sister. A woman’s happiness could be seen in her eyes. Leng Hao nodded in relief. “Zhiyuan, it’s good that you’re back.”
“Yes.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. “Big brother, where’s dad? Why didn’t you bring dad over for the New Years’?”
Leng Hao was expressionless. “Dad hasn’t been well recently and has been undergoing rehabilitation, so it’s not convenient for him to come over. Dad is very happy to know that you’re back safely. After the New Year, you two can go back to Hong Kong to visit dad. Dad misses you very much.”
“Yes!” Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes were red.
“Big brother, don’t worry. I’ll bring Zhiyuan and Sileng back to Hong Kong to visit father.” Zhou Yao reached out and hugged Leng Zhiyuan’s shoulder, giving her silent comfort and strength.
Leng Zhiyuan looked at the man beside her. This man was chosen by her father for her. Her father’s judgment was right.
At this moment, Mother Zhou smiled and said, “Sileng’s uncle, let’s go inside and talk. Don’t stand outside. Dinner is ready. Let’s have a reunion dinner together.”
“Okay.” Everyone entered the house together.
Zhou Yao and Leng Hao walked in front. The two men were discussing business. Leng Zhiyuan held Zhou Sileng’s hand and walked behind them. “Mommy…” Zhou Sileng tugged Leng Zhiyuan’s hand.
Leng Zhiyuan looked down. “Sileng, what’s wrong?”
Zhou Sileng whispered mysteriously, “Mommy, I’ll tell you a secret.”
“Okay, what secret?” Leng Zhiyuan was very interested.
“Grandpa doesn’t talk to uncle.”
Leng Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then she smiled and said, “I see. Sileng, adult affairs are very complicated. You can’t tell others.”
“I know. I didn’t even tell daddy. I only told mommy.”
Leng Zhiyuan kissed her son. “Good boy.”
…
The family sat at the dining table and had a reunion dinner. The dining table was filled with delicious food and wine. Old Master Zhou poured wine for Leng Hao personally. “Sileng’s uncle, this is a treasured brand of red wine, have a taste.”
“Old Master, there’s no need. I have to drive later.”
“Sileng’s uncle, it’s New Year’s Eve today. You don’t have to go back. There are plenty of rooms at home. Come, let’s drink some,” Old Master Zhou said enthusiastically.
Leng Hao didn’t refuse anymore. Old Master Zhou poured him some wine and everyone at the table raised their gla.s.s together.
Grandpa Zhou’s face was flushed. He drank his wine in one go. Mother Zhou couldn’t help but advise him, “Dad, pace yourself.”
“I’m happy today. I’m really really happy. It’s been four years since our family got together properly. In the past, when Zhiyuan wasn’t around, this family wasn’t lively at all…”
“Dad, have you drunk too much wine. Tonight is the reunion. Don’t bring up the past again,” Father Zhou stopped him with a smile.
Old Master Zhou slammed the table. “That’s right, I apologize. Those things are in the past. From now on, our family will be happy and we’ll be together in peace.”
“Yes!”
Zhou Yao took a sip of red wine. His left hand under the table held Leng Zhiyuan’s small hand and squeezed it.
Leng Zhiyuan felt very happy in her heart. She held his rough palm. Yes, they would never be separated again.
Zhou Sileng sat next to his uncle. His uncle knew what he liked to eat, so he put a lot of food into Sileng’s bowl. Zhou Sileng ate a little and then remembered something. He said, “Uncle, mommy and I saw auntie a month ago.”
