Chapter 976: COMPLETE
BAI YE pouted when he heard that. Why did it feel like Yan Yan was just waiting for him to say that? Anyway, it"s true that he didn"t feel like making the other his bride anymore. It"s because Yan Yan now was too tall. By the time he caught up with the other"s height, Yan Yan would already be too old.
Yes, just like what his mother said, it"s better to look for a bride that"s the close to his age.
"Hmp! What are you saying? You"re my only pretty cousin," he said.
Luo Yan laughed at that. He didn"t know if the other was trying to be angry or if he was actually complimenting him. But he decided to just play along. "Yes, yes."
"I don"t want to play anymore. I"m going inside."
After saying that with a huff, Bai Ye ran back to the mansion.
Luo Yan stood up and was also planning to go back when he saw a black car entering the driveway. He knew immediately that it was definitely his father and older brother. The moment the car stopped, he ran towards it. And as expected, his father and older brother got down of the car from the back seat.
"Dad! Brother!" he called.
Before the two could turn to where he was, he had already arrived in front of them. He gave each a tight hug before saying;
"I missed you!"
"Yes, me too."
The two said almost at the same time.
Luo Yan was about to ask how their flight was when he noticed that both were wearing thin coats. So, instead, he asked;
"Are Dad and Brother planning to shoot a drama?"
Both showed confused looks at his question.
"What are you talking about, Xiao Yan?" Luo Wei Tian asked, clearly not understanding why his son suddenly asked such a question.
"It"s because both Dad and Brother were wearing such thin coats. In my short life experience, I"ve only seen male leads of dramas wear something like that during a cold winter weather like this. So, can you blame me if I thought you"re about to shoot a drama? They"re doing it for aesthetics, so they could look more handsome on screen. But what about Dad and Brother? Both of you are already unequivocably handsome. So, there"s no need to sacrifice your health for style."
Both Luo Wei Tian and Luo Ren were dumbfounded after hearing this. They only got back to their senses when they heard the suppressed laugh of the driver who drove them here. The other quickly apologized before running as if the Luo father and son duo would beat him up.
Luo Ren sighed, hiding his embarra.s.sment. "That"s definitely not the case. I don"t know about Dad, though."
"Hey, why are you throwing the ball back at me?" Luo Wei Tian argued. "I simple like this coat, okay?"
Luo Yan shook his head and just pulled the two before they really had a cold.
On another side of the city, inside Shen Yi Mu"s mansion...
"Mom, I told you already, Ji Yun and I won"t attend tonight"s reunion dinner," Shen Yi Mu said to his mother, who was at the other end of the line.
The other called him to ask him again if he could change his mind and go to dinner tonight. Of course, he wouldn"t. He and Ji Yun would already go to the main house tomorrow. So, he wanted to spend this important night with Ah Yue, at least.
They had been separated for years and had only gone back together recently. If he could, he wanted to spend the rest of the Spring Festival with Ah Yue. So, not attending the reunion dinner tonight was the only concession he could give.
"But Ah Mu, it"s only during these festivals and holidays that I can see yours and Xiao Yun"s face. Can"t you just attend for this old woman?" his mother said with a pleaded.
Shen Yi Mu sighed. Really, if Ah Yue was not here, he probably would have already said "yes". That"s how it had always been whenever his mother talked to him in that kind of voice. Sadly, he really couldn"t compromise this time.
"I"m sorry, Mom," he could only say.
Actually, he wanted to add that even if he and Ji Yun went to the reunion dinner, their relatives would only nitpick at his nephew. Talking and saying horrible things to him behind his back. Those p.r.i.c.ks. And to think they"re the same people who would try to curry favors with him just so he could "share" the blessing of his company with them.
Truly, if their IQ were not single digits, they would have thought that if they wanted to get to his good side, then they should treat Ji Yun better. Wasn"t it obvious how much he favored the other compared to his other nephews and nieces? But no, they"re doing the exact opposite.
The most likely reason for this was because of how the patriarch treated Ji Yun. They saw how much his father disliked Ji Yun that they thought it would be okay to treat him like he"s trash or something. They truly were just a bunch of garbage who couldn"t think for themselves.
Shen Yi Mu"s thoughts were cut off when he heard his mother"s resigned sigh.
"I know. But please try to go and visit us tomorrow with Xiao Yun," she said.
After the call ended, he walked towards the kitchen where Ah Yue and Ji Yun were. The two were preparing the food for tonight"s dinner.
When he reached the kitchen, he leaned his body sideways on the door frame and watched the two worked in harmony. Ji Yun was cutting up vegetables like some kind of professional chef while Ah Yue was rolling a noodle dough on the counter. Who would have thought he would see a scene like this?
A smile automatically crossed Shen Yi Mu"s lips.
And he truly felt for the first time in a long while that his family was finally complete.
