Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Pretending to be Cute and Helping My Mom Wash Her Face
As she hesitated, the old butler, with a sharp eye, spotted the car coming and quietly reminded her, “Madam, the young master and the others are back.”
“Where?” Lin Zhiya’s eyes lit up, and she leaned forward to look, indeed spotting Li Shengxiao’s private car stopped nearby.
The handsome little boy who looked like a prince from a fairy tale book got out of the car, and she went up to greet him with joy, “Grandma’s darling~ Come here, let Grandma hold you.”
Li Duidui also saw her and immediately ran toward her, “Grandma.”
“Oh, my little heart.” Lin Zhiya enveloped him in a hug, wishing she could meld him into her own heart, “My little treasure, did you miss Grandma?”
They had been apart for only two or three hours, and it was she who had instructed the butler to drive him back to Dihor Garden; yet, looking at him now, it felt as though they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and her darling was unbearable.
Li Duidui’s grape-like eyes twinkled as he blinked, his mouth sweet as could be, “I did.”
He gestured with his tiny hands, counting on his fingers, “Right after we parted, I wanted to call Grandma to ask if she had dinner properly. Later on, I missed Grandma again, wanting to watch cartoons with her.”
With such an obedient grandson, even if he hadn’t truly missed her, Lin Zhiya wished she could hide him in her own eyes. She immediately touched his head, contentedly saying, “Next time you miss Grandma, just call me directly, and Grandma will come over to see you anytime!”
Li Duidui lifted his palm-sized delicate little face, looked at her, and shook his head, “But Grandma, your health is not good, Duidui is worried…”
Ay, whose grandson is this, so endearing? Her grandson is much more well-behaved than those from the Lu, Cui, and Fu families… Lin Zhiya really wanted to keep him by her side to accompany her every day.
“Seeing my precious little heart makes Grandma all better.”
“But I’m still worried about Grandma.” Li Duidui turned his head and saw Rong Yan getting out of the car, pursed his lips, and, with some nervous concern, tugged at Lin Zhiya’s sleeve, whispering, “Duidui brought Mom here, and Mom can do acupuncture, better than the uncle doctor, really, my Mom is very impressive. Would Grandma let Mom take a look, okay?”
That little look in his eyes, clear-cut black and white, was filled with longing like a little milk cat. Lin Zhiya, after all, had been in a high position for many years and had seen all sorts of people. Little Baby might be a genius, but no matter how smart he was, he was only five years old; those little thoughts were already laid bare in his eyes.
He was worried she wouldn’t like his mom, playing up his cuteness first, trying to win her over for his mom.
Lin Zhiya saw through his little ruse but wasn’t angry in the slightest. Instead, she felt a softness in her heart, indescribably mushy. For some reason, looking at the little boy who was nervously tugging at her sleeve, she saw the face that had once belonged to another child, and the two faces, already bearing some resemblance, now looked even more alike with that protective look—just like Shengxiao as a little boy. Only, compared to Shengxiao, this child was much more adept at showing vulnerability.
Lin Zhiya already liked Rong Yan, and seeing in Li Duidui the shadow of Li Shengxiao’s childhood, she gave her approval all the more because of the association. She reached out her hand, gently stroking the little one’s head, and smiling lovingly, she agreed, “Alright.”
