Chapter 9 Grandpa and Grandma
In contrast to Lin's mother's outgoing and lively personality, Lin's father is gentle and easy-going. He dragged two large suitcases, greeted Lin Huaichen and Wen Xun, and chatted about their recent daily life.
There were not many topics to talk about. After chatting for a while, the three men watched Yi Ruxin hugging Yu An and kissing him, calling him "darling grandson" one after another, with smiles in their eyes.
After a while, Father Lin found an opportunity to hand a document to Yu An and patted his head. “This is a gift from your grandparents.”
Inside are the shares of the Lin family. The Lin family is involved in various industries and there are countless companies of all sizes. With these shares, Yu An can live a comfortable life for several lifetimes even if he does nothing.
Yu An didn't know the significance of this share transfer agreement. He subconsciously glanced at Wen Xun and Lin Huaichen, and only after seeing them nod did he take the gift and thank them softly.
After thinking for a while, he took out his favorite blue diamond from his pocket and handed it to Lin's father, "Grandpa, this is a gift for meeting you."
Father Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected there would be a return gift. He laughed and shook his head, his face unconsciously filled with a smile, and shook his head, "Grandpa doesn't need it. An An can keep it for himself and buy himself many things."
Yu An was extremely stubborn in some aspects and insisted on giving things away. "Yes, I want a gift. An An accepted Grandpa's gift, so Grandpa also wants An An's gift."
Father Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you, An An."
Yu An smiled with two dimples on her face, "You're welcome."
"What about mine, An'an?" Yi Ruxin pretended to be sad and teased him, "Why does grandpa have a meeting gift, but I don't?"
Yu An’s idea was very simple. His grandfather gave him a gift, so he should give his grandfather a gift too. But now his grandmother was sad because she didn’t have a gift. The little guy was stunned and at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Yu An quickly lowered his head and rummaged through his pockets, but he only brought blue stones today and couldn't find anything else as a gift.
"There, there's a gift." Yu An pointed to the collection room upstairs, "I'll get it for grandma."
As he said this, he was about to get out of Yi Ruxin's arms.
Yi Ruxin hugged him tighter, laughed heartily, and rubbed his little face. "Why are you such a cute baby? Grandma doesn't want your gift. Grandma has plenty of treasures."
She took the necklace off her neck and wrapped it around Yu An's small wrist, "Give it to our baby."
This necklace is inlaid with broken diamonds and has a red agate pendant. The agate is shaped into an exquisite small gourd and looks shiny. Yu An fell in love with it at first sight, his eyes full of admiration.
Although Yi Ruxin didn't want his gift, Yu An still insisted on giving it to her. When he found an opportunity, he ran to the collection room and picked out a Hetian jade pendant to give to Lin's mother.
Yi Ruxin couldn't refuse, so she simply accepted it, hugged the little guy in her arms, and kissed Yu An's cheek, "Baby, how can you be so adorable!"
Yu An easily becomes shy when praised, like a mimosa that trembles and closes its small leaves. He immediately hides back in Wen Xun's arms, secretly glancing at Yi Ruxin with his big lake blue eyes.
Yi Ruxin and Lin Huaichen were chatting, glancing at Yu An from time to time and making an exaggerated expression to him. The child immediately shrank to Wen Xun in fright, burying his face in Wen Xun's arms.
Yi Ruxin laughed heartily, without the slightest inclination to bully a child.
Because Wen Xun's parents hadn't arrived yet, Yi Ruxin was getting a little impatient. He put his arm around Wen Xun's shoulders and asked, "Hey, Xun, when will your mother come?"
Wen Xun glanced at the time on his phone. "It should be soon. She sent me a message about ten minutes ago saying she had already gotten off the plane."
Yi Ruxin nodded happily and sat on the sofa with anticipation, waiting for Wen Xun's mother to arrive.
More than an hour later, Butler Yide came back first and told them that Wen Xun's parents had arrived. After a while, a slight sound of footsteps was heard from the door.
Yu An subconsciously raised his head and looked over, only to see a woman in a lavender dress walking towards him. Her thick, slightly curly long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she had an exquisite iris hairpin on her head.
Those amorous peach blossom eyes drooped slightly, and there was a special kind of sadness in their gaze. The woman's eyes wandered for a moment, and then fell directly on Wen Xun. Her voice was as soft as water, "Xiaoxun, come to your mother."
Yu An stared at Wen Xun without blinking, walked up to the woman and hugged her, muttering, "Wow, Daddy's mom is so beautiful..."
His words resonated with Mother Lin. Yi Ruxin looked at Mother Wen Xun with shining eyes and secretly took out her phone to take a few pictures. "Of course she is! She is Madam Iris. So many powerful people have spent huge sums of money just for her smile. You have never seen such a spectacular scene back then."
Xiao Yu'an didn't understand what Yi Ruxin said, but that didn't prevent him from feeling the beauty of Madam Iris. His lake-blue eyes kept staring at Wen Xun's mother, who naturally noticed his presence.
"Is this the child you adopted?" Wen Yun always spoke softly, as if filled with infinite tenderness and love. "He looks very similar to you in personality, and is also a bit taciturn?"
Wen Xun pursed his lips, "...I'm not a taciturn person, and neither is An An."
Wen Yun noticed that her baby son was unhappy and looked at him lovingly. "Okay, I apologize. Actually, you are a lively and cheerful person. I said something wrong and wronged you."
Wen Xun: “…”
I knew she was being sarcastic, but I couldn't refute her. It really made me angry.
Wen Xun turned into an angry pufferfish. He turned around, picked up Yu An and sat on the sofa, resting his head on Yu An's head, silently expressing his protest.
Wen Yun walked up to Yu An and stared into his unusual eyes.
"Little guy, your eyes are so beautiful." Wen Yun leaned forward slightly, and gently placed her slender fingers on the corners of Yu An's eyes. "Are you born with this color?"
Yu An blinked and stared at Wen Yun's beautiful face, then nodded.
Wen Yun chuckled softly, her tone as gentle and soft as usual, "That's a really rare eye color. I've never seen a human with this eye color before."
Hearing this, Lin Huaichen raised his head, his eyes obscure and unclear, "Mom...what do you mean by this?"
It wouldn't be a big deal if someone else said this, but since this person is [Madam Iris] who has a strong sense of perception, one cannot help but think deeply about it.
Yu An knew nothing about this and smiled happily at Lin Huaichen, with two dimples appearing on the sides of his face.
"It's nothing special." Wen Yun seemed oblivious to the subtle atmosphere and smiled. "I just think this kid's spiritual realm is quite powerful, just like Ling Xingcheng back then. Has he had contact with alien species before?"
Ling Xingcheng had close contact with a powerful alien species when he was a child. The spiritual domain in his body is stronger than that of his peers, and he entered the S series as soon as he became an adult.
After hearing her explanation, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and at the same time felt that they were worrying too much. An An was just a child, how could he be an alien?
He is so well behaved and so cute.
Wen Xun covered Yu An's ears and explained to Wen Yun, "An An became an orphan because her relatives were killed by alien species. Her situation is somewhat similar to Ling Xingcheng's."
Wen Yun showed just the right amount of surprise and sympathy. She sighed and raised her hand to touch Yu An's little head. "What a poor child."
Yu An couldn't hear what the adults were saying, but when he felt the hand on his head, he subconsciously smiled at Wen Yun.
I was touched on the head by my beautiful grandma. I am so happy~
Afterwards, the adults gathered together to discuss Yu An. Mother Lin suggested returning to Kyoto and holding a grand welcome banquet for Yu An to let everyone know of Yu An's existence.
Lin Huaichen had some concerns, "An An is shy, he probably doesn't like such a crowded and noisy party."
Yu An looked at Wen Xun's fingers, and suddenly heard his own name. He raised his head and said, "Yeah, I don't like strangers."
Wen Yun herself has a son with social anxiety, and she offered a solution with a smile, "That's okay, the child doesn't need to do anything, just show up with him in your arms. You just need to let people in the circle get to know little An An so that he won't be bullied in the future."
Lin Huaichen thought for a moment and decided to ask Yu An's opinion. Yu An was naturally not happy to appear in front of so many people, but when he heard that he would just take a walk and leave, he agreed hesitantly.
Lin Huaichen and others discussed the specific details. Wen Xun had never been concerned about these things and had no say, so he simply played with Yu An.
"Dad, who is that uncle?" Yu An pointed at the blond man sitting on another sofa. This uncle hadn't spoken and Yu An didn't know his identity.
Wen Xun followed Yu An's little finger and was visibly stunned when his sight touched the man. He murmured in surprise, "Why is it still him... not divorced?"
Yes, Wen Yun did say that night that she would come with his father, but Wen Xun thought it would be a new father, but he didn’t expect it to be the old father.
Yu An: “Hmm?”
who is he?
"His name is Hicks Tarleton. He's my father, your grandfather." Wen Xun leaned close to Yu An's ear and explained, "But he's not my biological father. I thought he had divorced my mother, but I didn't expect he was still alive."
Wen Yun changed boyfriends frequently in the past few years, but Wen Xun didn't think anything of it. Firstly, it was Wen Yun's freedom, and secondly, every boyfriend she found was very nice to Wen Xun and always tried to please her.
Adults often buy gifts based on his ideas, and Wen Xun doesn't need to say much. As a result, he develops a reserved and taciturn personality.
Yu An was surprised and looked at the handsome man. "Uncle... is it my grandfather?"
Wen Xun nodded, "Currently, it's your grandfather."
Yu An was puzzled, "Why now?"
"Because my mother tends to get bored easily, they will probably get divorced, and after the divorce he will no longer be your grandfather."
"What does divorce mean?"
"Uh..." Wen Xun paused, thinking about how to explain this to Yu An, "It means we are not living together anymore. We are going our separate ways."
Yu An nodded, not quite understanding.
On the other side, Hicks noticed that Yu An and Wen Xun were secretly looking at him. He raised his deep blue eyes and looked over. The gazes of the three people met in mid-air.
Yu An stared at Hicks unconsciously, but Wen Xun had already looked away, burying his face in the crook of Yu An's neck, muttering, "How embarrassing..."
There's a guilty feeling of being caught saying bad things about someone in person.
As a naive minor, Yu An naturally didn't understand the awkwardness between adults. He imitated his father's way of comforting him and patted his father's head, "It's okay, Dad, be good~"
After a while, a young man came over with a lot of gifts. "This is a gift from the Tarleton family to the young master and the young master."
The young man divided the gifts into two parts. He gave some handmade snacks and expensive jewelry to Yu An, and precious pigments and famous paintings to Wen Xun.
In addition, Hicks also gave Yu An the ownership of a private island, properties in more than a dozen cities, and a candy-making company.
Yu An was holding a few documents, confused. Why did his grandparents like to give him these papers that he couldn't understand?
The little guy didn’t understand, in fact he preferred shiny things.
