Hongli bit his lip tightly and looked at Yinzhen's reaction several times, but he still didn't dare to take the pen holder handed to him by Jiang Ranli. Although he was young, he knew that his father was extremely cold to him.
"Didn't you say that tomorrow is your father's birthday and you want to give this to him? Why not give it to him now? This way, you will be the first person to celebrate your father's birthday. I believe your father will be very happy too."
Jiang Ran looked at Hongli with heartache, thinking that Yinzhen was too indifferent to his own children.
When Hongli heard her words, he seemed to have made a great effort. He took the pen holder and placed it in front of Yinzhen with both hands, "Father, tomorrow is your birthday. I wish you good health and all the best."
Yinzhen lowered his eyes and looked at the little Hongli in front of him, his expression as calm as usual.
Jiang Ranli couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw this. Even if he was naturally cold-tempered, he really didn't have to be like that to a child, especially when the child had prepared gifts for him and wished him a happy birthday.
"Fourth Master, this was made by Hongli himself. Don't you like it?"
Hearing the voice, Yinzhen looked up at her. He could hear the slight anger in her words and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. In the past, she always kept a distance from him and was always indifferent no matter what happened. This was the first time she spoke with a little anger like today.
Seeing Yinzhen looking at her, Jiang Ranli looked back unwillingly. If it were usual, she would definitely not do this, but today she felt too sorry for little Hongli.
If Yinzhen treated the little boy, the twins, Hongzheng and Minyan so coldly at this moment, Jiang Ranli would not have looked at him like that, but would have thrown a fist at them. The children were so cute and sensible, how could he hurt their young hearts like this?
Catching the anger in Jiang Ranli's eyes, Yinzhen couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his lips. To be honest, he hadn't seen Jiang Ranli like this for a long time.
Then he took the pen holder from Hongli's hand, looked around and said, "Well done."
Although it was just four simple words, Hongli was as happy as if it was New Year's Day. It was the first time that he was affirmed by his father.
"Of course he did a good job. In the future, he will be able to do more than just this well." Jiang Ranli still stood up for Hongli. Hongli's reaction made her realize that Yinzhen must be extremely indifferent to his children on a daily basis.
"How do you know that he will be able to do many things in the future?" Yinzhen asked.
How did he know? Of course, it was because of his time travel. This little fellow, Hongli, was the future Emperor Qianlong. Although he had his share of faults, he also did many things that benefited the country and the people.
Although he thought so, Jiang Ranli couldn't say it, so he thought for a while and answered, "The child I like will definitely achieve something in the future."
"Do you like him?" Yinzhen asked again.
Jiang Ranli nodded, "Yes, look at him, he is so cute, just like the little dolls in the New Year pictures, so likable. No, it should be said that there are not many people who don't like him, of course, except those cold-blooded and cold-hearted people."
Hearing this, Yinzhen laughed. How could he not hear that Jiang Ranli was saying that he was cold-blooded and heartless? However, he was not cold-blooded and heartless. It was because the person who made him feel flesh and blood was not by his side.
Thinking of this, the faint smile on Yinzhen's lips disappeared, "We will set up camp and rest soon, I will take Hongli away first."
"Goodbye, Fourth Master," Jiang Ranli bowed slightly, then looked at Hongli who looked reluctant, "Little Hongli, don't forget to come and play with Aunt Wan."
