Chapter 368: All of You Have Been Duped by Her! (18)
Due to the fact that it was not the weekend yet, there weren’t too many people at the mall. Old Mr. Rong, who was in the company of Jiang Peihua, was obviously in high spirits.
Butler Zhang smiled and said, “Old Master, it’s been a long time since you were so happy. I think you should come out for a walk whenever you can. You can get some exercise while feeling happy at the same time.”
“Yes, Father, Butler Zhang is right,” Jiang Peihua agreed smilingly.
Mr. Rong leaned on his cane and smiled cheerfully. His gla.s.sy eyes glistened and he said, “Well, I must be accompanied by someone. Peihua, you’re busy enough with managing our charity organization. Who would have the time to accompany me, an old fogey?”
Jiang Peihua nodded emotionally and said, “That rascal is busy with work all the time and he can’t schedule some free time. La.s.s Anning is helping him out at the office too… ”
“If only I had a great-grandchild to keep me busy,” said Old Mr. Rong who was full of eagerness.
“But there’s nothing we can do if the rascal and La.s.s Anning are not eager about having a child… ”
Old Mr. Rong stopped in his tracks and slammed his cane against the ground. “Butler Zhang, call the rascal and La.s.s Anning immediately. Tell them that we’re shopping for gifts for the Mid-autumn Festival at the mall and get them to join us.”
Butler Zhang expressed a.s.sent and turned around to place the call.
Jiang Peihua looked at him in confusion and asked, “Father, what are you planning to do?”
Old Mr. Rong smiled proudly and pointed at the children’s clothes department. “I’m certain the rascal would definitely want a child after seeing these!”
It turned out that they had subconsciously arrived at the children’s clothing area of the mall, where there was a plethora of clothing for children of all ages.
There were pink princess-style dresses and mini suits which looked extremely handsome and enticing.
Jiang Peihua looked over and clapped her hands excitedly. “Father, that’s a great idea!”
…
While Luo Anning was still discussing plans with her colleagues, Rong Yan walked into the office with a domineering aura and raised his eyebrows slightly. The employees stood up immediately and greeted, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Rong.”
Rong Yan nodded and said, “Put the doc.u.ments down and excuse yourselves.”
“Yes, Mr. CEO.”
Everyone left and closed the door meticulously.
Luo Anning bit her pen and looked at him in bewilderment. “What’s the matter?”
“Grandpa and Mother are picking out some gifts at the mall and they’d like for us to join them.”
Luo Anning put the pen down and asked, “You agreed?”
Rong Yan shrugged and said, “I have no reason to turn them down.”
Luo Anning stood up dejectedly while Rong Yan rubbed her head in amus.e.m.e.nt before holding her in his arms as they walked out.
“Let’s go. We’re just picking out gifts. It won’t take long.”
…
When Rong Yan and Luo Anning arrived at the mall, Jiang Peihua and Old Mr. Rong were still at the children’s clothes department. Luo Anning immediately understood their intentions after seeing the various exquisite children’s clothes.
Her heart skipped a beat and she began to turn pale while her smile stiffened immediately.
“Rascal, La.s.s Anning, you’re finally here!” Jiang Peihua waved at them enthusiastically.
Rong Yan secretly tightened his grip to comfort her before saying with a smile, “Grandpa, Mother, what made you so interested in selecting gifts today?”
