Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 812 - 677: You Little Brat, How Many Dads Do You Want? (Part 4)
"Uncle and Grandpa had a fight, and then Grandpa got sick from anger," Zi Xi pouted and said, "Mama, Auntie was so upset she cried."
Yi Luowa was stunned, hearing footsteps coming rapidly from the stairs, she held her son’s hand and walked out.
Seven-year-old Xiao Sangyu was a budding little beauty, seeing her mom come out of the kitchen, she ran over quickly.
Looking at the daughter who had reached her own chest level, Yi Luowa smiled helplessly, "If Grandpa saw you like this, he would say you’re not ladylike again."
Sangyu said with a little bitter face, "Don’t mention Grandpa now, I already miss him."
Yi Luowa affectionately patted her daughter’s head, "Be good, doesn’t Grandpa call you every night?"
Zi Xi tugged at his sister’s hand, "If you miss Grandpa, you can look at Dad, they look the same."
"It’s not the same!" Sangyu looked down at her brother, "Auntie is crying upstairs, isn’t it because of you?"
Zi Xi looked at his mom, squirming, "Mama, Sister is wrongfully accusing me!"
Sangyu reached out and tugged his little ear, "Straighten out your tongue when you talk, in a few months you’ll be going to school, with the way you speak, the teacher definitely won’t want you."
"Mama~" Zi Xi shook his mom’s hand vigorously.
Yi Luowa smiled helplessly, "Sister is doing it for your own good."
"Daddy says when Sister was my age, she was even worse than me!"
Sangyu widened her eyes and asked loudly, "Which daddy said that!"
"Little rascal, how many daddies do you want!" Tong Airui came over in a huff.
Sangyu immediately hugged Dad’s arm, "Having you as dad is more than enough in this life!"
Tong Airui smiled and patted his daughter’s head, "I really have no way to deal with you."
"You guys play with Dad for a while, I’ll go check on Auntie." Yi Luowa handed Zi Xi over to Tong Airui and quickly went upstairs.
"Auntie, don’t cry anymore." Zi Yan held a box of tissues, handing them one by one to Nuan An Yang.
Nuan An Yang sniffed and wiped her tears, "Zi Yan is so good, if your uncle were as obedient as you, how nice it would be."
Zi Yan extended his little hand to wipe Nuan An Yang’s tears, "Can I apologize on behalf of Uncle?"
Yi Luowa looked at her son, this little adult, what should she say? The more she looked, the more she liked him!
"Mom." Zi Yan saw his mom come in, shook his head helplessly, "Your brother truly knows nothing about cherishing women."
Yi Luowa burst into laughter, "You know how to cherish women, aren’t you afraid of being overwhelmed by peach blossoms in the future?"
Zi Yan laughed, "I want to be like Dad, spoil only Mom."
Nuan An Yang laughed and pinched Zi Yan’s nose, "Your mom’s got your dad spoiling her, you should pamper your own wife."
"I don’t want a wife, in my eyes, no one compares to my mom." Zi Yan handed the tissue box to Mom, "Mom, I’m going to find those two little ones, I’m afraid they’ll get into trouble."
Yi Luowa laughed and patted his little behind, "If Sangyu hears this, she’ll argue with you again, can’t you stop pretending to be an adult!"
Zi Yan rubbed his little behind, "Mom, I’ve grown up, you can’t spank me, if they see it, they’ll make fun of me and won’t listen to me."
"Hahaha... I’m dying of laughter! Sis, who does Zi Yan take after?"
"Who knows." Yi Luowa laughed helplessly, "Little brother and sister are downstairs playing with Dad, you go down."
Zi Yan looked at Nuan An Yang, seeing she wasn’t crying anymore, rebelliously shook his head, turned on his toes, and went out.
Yi Luowa sat down beside Nuan An Yang, "What’s wrong, crying again?"
"Sis, Danton had a fight with Uncle."
Yi Luowa was silent for a moment, it seems the son didn’t lie, they did fight after all.
"Why are you arguing?"
"Uncle says he wants me and Danton to get married immediately and then pass the throne to Danton. Danton refused, I don’t know what was said, but he got into a fight with uncle, and uncle’s blood pressure went up."
Yi Luowa frowned and said, "He’s something! Didn’t he tell you why he’s not taking the throne?"
"He said he’s too young and afraid he can’t handle this flourishing era."
"He’s already twenty-six, how is he still ’young’!" Yi Luowa was also angry, "Besides, hasn’t he been handling all the state affairs these past two years? So what’s he acting up about now!"
"I said the same thing to him, and he just yelled at me, said I didn’t understand anything, told me to shut up, and even hung up on me." An Yang’s eyes turned slightly red, and a teardrop the size of a bean fell, "Sis, I have a vague feeling that he doesn’t take the throne because of me. It’s all my fault, for being immature and always causing trouble for him. Someone like me is not worthy to be his wife. Look at Auntie and then at you, you both share your husbands’ burdens, but I’m just a freeloader."
Yi Luowa patted her on the shoulder, "Don’t overthink, I’ll deal with him, you go wash your face."
Yi Luowa sent An Yang away and picked up the phone to call her brother.
Danton hesitated for a moment and answered the phone, "I knew she’d complain to you."
"She didn’t say anything to me, it was the kids who saw her secretly wiping her tears and called me. How’s Dad?"
"He’s fine, just scaring me. I was just outside Dad’s room and heard him telling the doctor to exaggerate when talking to me, planning to lie in bed for a month."
Yi Luowa slightly furrowed her brows, "Even if Dad is just scaring you, he must be feeling somewhat unwell. Don’t you feel a bit guilty?"
"Sis, how can I not feel guilty? To tell you the truth, since the day of my accident, I’ve been living in guilt, I just haven’t said it out loud. Haotian was built with Dad and Mom’s blood and sweat. For Haotian to reach this point, you’re also a major contributor. But what about me, what have I done for Haotian? What right do I have to sit on the throne? Even if I take the throne, the people will still look down on me."
"Conquering is easy, ruling is hard. As long as you can ensure the people live prosperous and stable lives, you won’t need to ask them; they’ll remember your goodness in their hearts."
Yi Luowa, noticing An Yang walk out from the corner of her eye, coughed and said, "Why do you take out your frustrations on An Yang? And you dare hang up on her!"
"I didn’t hang up on her; the doctor had just finished with Dad and needed to tell me the precautions. If you hadn’t called, I would’ve called her back."
"So you’re saying I interrupted you?" Yi Luowa pulled An Yang to sit down and said with a smile, "Don’t be mad. I’ll deal with him for you. You heard what he said; it wasn’t aimed at you."
An Yang pouted and said softly, "He’s just too embarrassed to tell you; he looks down on me."
Danton perked up his ears and caught her mumbling that sentence, "You’re the one I chose myself, how could I look down on you? You may not be as excellent as my mom and sister, but you have two great teachers like them, so you can learn slowly. Eventually, you’ll grow... No, we’ll both grow because I’m not a stellar person either."
An Yang glanced at Yi Luowa, "Sis, do you think what he said is true?"
"I think so!" Yi Luowa smiled and handed her the phone, "You two talk. If he doesn’t speak well, just tell me. I’m going down to call Dad, he must be furious with Danton."
As An Yang was about to return the phone, Yi Luowa had already opened the door and left.
Yi Luowa returned to her bedroom, picked up the landline, and called her father, "Dad, I heard, you’re bedridden from being angered by your son?"
Listening to her daughter’s teasing laughter, Emperor Haotian chuckled and said, "I’m not really that upset by Danton, but you teasing me like this could really send my blood pressure up to 200."
"Don’t go up to 200! Dad, I’m not joking; how’s your health? If you’re tired, just rest for a few more days."
"I’m not stepping down because I’m tired; it’s because I want to push Danton to the throne while I still can. That way, your mom and I can help him from behind the scenes, and he’ll grow up quickly."
Yi Luowa’s thoughts were slightly stirred; if that’s what Dad thinks, then father-in-law must think the same. Back then, Tong Airui said Dad was setting him up, but in reality, neither of them understood what Dad was thinking. This time, why did he stay at home for more than two months before going out? He was worried but knew he had to let go, wanting to give the younger generation more opportunities for growth and experience.
"Then you should have a good talk with Danton, like a conversation between brothers or like how you talk with me."
"I also want to speak to him calmly, but looking at him as he is now makes me anxious. When will he be able to stand on his own without a crutch, like you and Airui?"
"Dad, Danton is still young, and achieving what he has now is not easy. You can’t push him too hard; take it slow. Tong Airui is more mature than Danton, but even then, my father-in-law hasn’t completely let go and always watches silently from behind. There’s nothing wrong with that; if something goes wrong, he’ll be the first to step up and correct Tong Airui."
Emperor Haotian sighed deeply, "I’ll listen to you and have a good talk with him later."
Yi Luowa comforted her dad a bit more before hanging up the phone.
Just as Emperor Haotian put down the phone, Danton’s call came in.
"Dad, I was wrong; I shouldn’t have upset you. Please give me four more years. By the time I’m thirty, I will definitely take over the heavy responsibility on your shoulders."
Emperor Haotian smiled with relief, "Have you thought it through?"
