Chapter 542 Old Master Wen Feels Heartache for Ah Yin
The next morning, before seven o'clock, the doorbell of Xinghai Garden was rang.
In the master bedroom, Song Lanyin was still fast asleep. When she heard the doorbell ring, she turned over and pulled the blanket over herself.
After her cesarean section, her physical condition declined somewhat. Wen Jingxi said he would take her to see Jin Huaimin in a few days to get some traditional Chinese medicine to help her recover.
These past few days, all she wants to do is catch up on the sleep she hasn't had in the past few months.
So even when the doorbell rang, she showed no signs of waking up.
In the past few months, Wen Jingxi's biological clock has been completely synchronized with Xiao Songyi's.
Xiao Songyi goes to bed early every night and wakes up early the next day.
Xiao Songyi woke up at six o'clock in the morning and began to practice her 'bel canto' with her own little voice.
Tang Wei carried Xiao Songyi out of the guest room and handed her to Wen Jingxi before going out to buy groceries.
At this moment, only Wen Jingxi and his son Xiao Songyi were in the living room.
Wen Jingxi paused when the doorbell rang.
I wondered who would be here so early?
He picked up his son, got up, walked over, and opened the door—
Outside the door, Grandpa Wen was leaning on his cane, supported by Uncle Wang, with Aunt Wang following behind them, carrying two large bags in her hands.
"Grandpa!" Wen Jingxi exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Grandpa Wen snorted coldly, "You brat are still sulking with me and won't bring Song back for me to see. Well then, this old man has no choice but to shamelessly come uninvited!"
Wen Jingxi smiled.
He and Song Lanyin had originally agreed that they would go back today.
Unexpectedly, the old man couldn't contain himself and came first.
"Still looking!" Old Master Wen frowned. "I'm an old man with bones, and I've come all this way. Do you expect me to just stand here like this?"
"Yes, yes, you're so kind. You've worked so hard. Please come in."
Wen Jingxi stepped aside, suppressing a laugh, and welcomed the old man into the room.
This wasn't Grandpa Wen's first time visiting Xinghai Bay. He had come twice before, when Xiao Songyi had just been brought back. Grandpa Wen was worried that Wen Jingxi wouldn't be able to take good care of her, so he came to check on her. Once he confirmed that Wen Jingxi could take good care of Xiao Songyi, he, being an old man, didn't bother to come back.
This was his third time here, but he was even more excited than the previous two times.
"Grandpa, please have a seat," Wen Jingxi said. "Ayin is still sleeping, I'll go wake her..."
"No need!" Grandpa Wen waved his hand. "It's only a little past seven. Why do you need to wake her up? Let her sleep. I'm not in a hurry."
Wen Jingxi raised an eyebrow. "You've got patience now, old man."
"What patience? Yesterday, your parents came back to Yungui and talked to me. They said that Song Yatou has lost a lot of weight compared to a year ago, and her complexion doesn't look as good as before. I was worried about her, so this morning I asked your sister-in-law Wang to go to the fresh food market and buy a free-range chicken and wild fish to help Song Yatou recover."
After Wang Sao brought the ingredients to the kitchen, she came out and heard what Grandpa Wen was saying.
She looked at Wen Jingxi and smiled, "Young Master, Master truly cares for Young Madam!"
Wen Jingxi sat down on the sofa with his son in his arms, looked at Grandpa Wen, and said solemnly, "Grandpa, I thank you on behalf of Ayin."
"It's only right for an elder to be kind to the younger generation. Besides, it was me who..." Old Master Wen paused, then waved his hand, "Never mind, never mind, it's good that you're back safe and sound."
"Actually, even if you hadn't come today, we were planning to go back to Yungui to see you."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen looked at Wen Jingxi with some surprise, "Really?"
“Last night, Ayin tried to persuade me. She understands you and was afraid that I would have a rift with you because of that incident, so she kept reasoning with me. We had originally planned to go to the mall to buy some things after breakfast this morning, and then take Xiaosongyi back to Yungui to see you.”
Hearing this, Grandpa Wen was deeply moved.
His eyes reddened, and he rubbed the armrest of his cane, nodding repeatedly. "Song girl is a rare gem. I, an old man, have lived a whole life and I'm still not as good as her."
"That's right, look who picked your wife!" Wen Jingxi tapped Xiao Songyi's nose, looked down at him and smiled, "Son, don't you think Dad has great taste?"
Xiao Songyi stared at her father, her eyes strikingly similar to Song Lanyin's, the dark pupils reflecting Wen Jingxi's handsome face.
He couldn't understand what his father was saying, but when he saw his father smile, he smiled too.
With chubby little cheeks and pink gums when he smiles, he looks like Maitreya Buddha—absolutely adorable!
Little Songyi smiled, and Grandpa Wen was also amused. "Our little Songyi also thinks her mother is good. Look, how lovely her smile is! And the spirited look in her eyes is just like Song Yatou's!"
"Sons resemble their mothers, and daughters resemble their fathers!" Wen Jingxi said. "In two years, when Ayin's health permits, we'll have a daughter!"
Grandpa Wen grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, good! If we could really have both a son and a daughter, that would be perfect! This old man will try to live to be a hundred years old so that I can see my precious great-granddaughter!"
Looking at the beaming old man, Wen Jingxi's eyes softened. "Grandpa, you will live to be a hundred years old. You will definitely see me and Ayin have both a son and a daughter."
Grandpa Wen was suddenly moved, raised his hand to rub his eyes, "I used to be senile, but fortunately, God didn't hold it against me. Now I can see your family of three reunited. I am already very content. Even if I had to leave now, I would have no regrets..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Wen Jingxi frowned. "Don't say unlucky things."
Grandpa Wen smiled and said, "I was just remarking that I'm still in good health!"
Wen Jingxi placed Xiao Songyi in the old man's arms, saying, "You play with him first, I'll go see if Ayin has woken up yet."
"Okay, keep it down. Don't wake her up yet! I'm not in a hurry to leave..."
"I see."
...
The bedroom door opened, and Wen Jingxi tiptoed in, slowly closing the door behind him.
Song Lanyin turned over, showing signs of waking up.
Wen Jingxi walked to the bedside and sat down.
Song Lanyin rubbed her eyes, opened them, and just then saw Wen Jingxi lower his head. "Good morning."
"Good morning." Song Lanyin stretched. "What time is it?"
"It was not even eight o'clock when I got up to wash up and prepare for breakfast."
Wen Jingxi lowered his head to kiss her, but she turned her head away, covered her mouth with her hand, and glared at him with a frown, "I haven't washed up yet!"
"I don't mind," Wen Jingxi said with a soft laugh.
"But I mind!"
Wen Jingxi pinched her nose. "Okay, then get up and wash up. Grandpa's here."
"Grandpa Wen is here?!" Song Lanyin suddenly sat up in bed. "When did he arrive?"
"It's not quite 7:30 yet."
"It's been half an hour! Why didn't you call me?!"
"Grandpa told me not to wake you. He said he wanted you to sleep until you woke up naturally, and he wasn't in a hurry to leave."
Song Lanyin: "..."
How could she, as a junior, keep her elders waiting!
"I'll wash up in five minutes, it'll be quick!" Song Lanyin quickly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Looking at her anxious appearance, Wen Jingxi was somewhat helpless. "Take your time, there's really no need to rush."
Song Lanyin ignored him and quickly washed up and changed her clothes, finishing in five minutes.
Before leaving, she took a deep breath, her expression even more serious than when she first went to the battlefield.
Wen Jingxi pinched her cheek, "Ayin, are you serious? I remember you weren't this nervous when you first formally visited Grandpa. What's wrong with you today?"
