Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 190 I Don’t Want to Go to Yanjing!

“They are coming! They are coming!” Tang Cao shouts at the door.

Yan Hua sees Bai Susu unhurriedly adjust her broken hair near the ears. Then Bai Susu asks Yan Hua.

“Is Mom’s makeup smudged?”

“No, it is not. You look very beautiful!”

“Let’s go!” Bai Susu just smiles and walks to the door with Yan Hua, arm in arm.

Lang Qin doesn’t come. Originally Lang Ruoxian was going to pick up Lang Cha, but he had something urgent temporarily. Being afraid of getting too late, he made an appointment to pick up Lang Cha half way. Today’s occasion is not suitable for Lang Qin to appear, but he will come with Lang Yukun to meet Lang Cha back to Lang’s mansion later.

“Dad, Mom! This is my grandpa.” Lang Ruoxian helps Lang Cha out of the car and introduces Yan Hua’s family to Lang Cha, “Grandpa, this is Hua’s parents and younger brother.”

Tang Cao is honey-tongued. “Nice to meet you. Grandpa!”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lang!” Tang Yao greets him.

Bai Susu smiles like a flower. “Nice to meet you. Thank you for taking care of my daughter!”

“Grandpa, let’s go in first!” Yan Hua pushes the door open.

Lang Cha looks at the three members of Tang Family. He investigated before returning home. The second branch of Tang Family in Yanjing is simply a joke. They are hopeless because no matter how well they are supported, the mediocre and incompetent cannot succeed.

He doesn’t believe it.

How can a family that raises the excellent daughter, Yan Hua, be not promising...

“Not at all. Hua is our Lang Family’s daughter-in-law, so it is our responsibility to take care of her.” Lang Cha turns his gaze away and everyone goes into the sitting room to take a seat.

Bai Susu puts the prepared tea in front of Lang Cha. “I hear you like drinking tea. That is what we brought here. Please have a try!”

“Tea specially served at the state banquet?” Lang Cha takes a sip and understands, “That’s why people say that there are some things in China that money can’t buy.”

Tang Yao laughs. “If you like it, we shall send some to you every year. We don’t have much, though. I stole it from my elder brother!”

Yan Hua is speechless.

“Tang Yao, go to the kitchen to bring some fruit.” Bai Susu glances at her husband.

Tang Yao stands up and goes to the kitchen. Tang Cao follows.

“Dad, you said the wrong thing again. How could you say that it was stolen? You should say that you took it.”

“I had a loose tongue just now. I will pay attention to it next time...”

In the sitting room, Yan Hua is embarrassed and covers her forehead, while Lang Ruoxian hooks the corner of his mouth to smile.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lang, my husband and my son don’t have a very good IQ. But don’t worry. Hua is very smart.” Bai Susu says so, but she doesn’t show embarrassed expression.

The expression in Lang Cha’s eyes is unpredictable. He smiles a few seconds later. “Mrs. Tang, you need not be too polite. Since Hua is my grandson’s wife, then we are a family!”

Bai Susu and Lang Cha talks about various topics, Yan Hua and Lang Ruoxian simply sneaks into the small parlor nearby.

“Did Grandpa say anything on the way?”

Having seen Yan Hua so nervous, Lang Ruoxian hugs and kisses her. “No, he just asked me if I had thought it over.”

“Was he angry?”

“No.” Lang Ruoxian fondles her back. “I gave the company to Yukun, not to outsiders. He won’t be angry.”

What he did not say is that Lang Cha asked him what he would do if Tang Family fell from power.

“That’s why I want to build a bigger business empire to back up Hua.” Lang Ruoxian replies in this way.

Lang Cha watched him for a long time and said nothing.

“It’s time to have dinner.” Tang Cao shouts in the dining room, so everyone moves to the dining table.

During the dinner time, Bai Susu and Lang Cha tries each other’s bottom line once again. They are not really engaged in hot battle, but they argue heatedly. Tang Yao and Tang Cao cheer for Bai Susu from time to time while eating. Lang Cha stares at Lang Ruoxian several times, disliking him for not cheering himself...

“When are you going to return to Yanjing?” Finally, Lang Cha asks.

Bai Susu keeps smiling all the time. “Don’t worry. It’s up to Hua!”

“Now that you have decided, sooner is better.” Lang Cha glances at Yan Hua. “Don’t you mention that someone already knows it? If you go back too late, you will give others a chance.”

“Mr. Lang, you are right.” Bai Susu goes on. “So we should not go back too early or too late.”

Lang Cha nods. “You just leave after the weekend. I will stay home for a while to see how Yukun is.”

“Then thank you!”

In the evening, when Lang Qin and Lang Yukun come, Yan Hua and Lang Ruoxian are not in. They go to pick up Gungun. Tomorrow is the weekend, Lang Cha wants to take Gungun back to Lang’s mansion to live for several days. Tang Yao doesn’t want to let Gungun go because he wants to stay with Gungun, but Bai Susu opposes him immediately.

“Mr. and Mrs. Tang!” Lang Qin greets them.

Lang Yukun also says hello to Yan Hua’s parent.

“Sit down please.” Bai Susu greets them. “You’re welcome. We are a family.”

Lang Yukun thinks highly of the fruit tea made by Bai Susu. Bai Susu tells Lang Qin, “Your son is more honey-tongued than Ruoxian. Is he married? Does he have a girlfriend?”

“Oh! Sister Bai, if you know any suitable girl for him, please introduce one to him. I almost doubt if he likes men.”

Lang Qin is more honey-tongued. Just in such a short time, he begins to address Hua’s parents to be Brother Tang and Sister Bai.

“Come to Yanjing when you are free!” Tang Cao says like a real playboy. “I don’t have anything good to treat you, but I can summon plenty of girls to accompany you!”

Lang Yukun thinks of the description of the second Childe of Tang Family in the materials...

“I still don’t want to bother you, Second Childe. I have been into some girl.”

Tang Cao is jealous. He is no worse-looking than Lang Ruoxian and Lang Yukun. But Lang Ruoxian has had his wife and son, and Lang Yukun has had a girlfriend. After thinking for a moment, he asks again.

“How old are you?”

Lang Yukun answers, “28...”

“You are the same age as my elder sister!” Tang Cao feels balanced. He is only 22. He needn’t haste.

Gungun comes back. When he sees Lang Cha, he is very happy. He has been very happy these days. There are many guests in his house every day. When he knows that Lang Cha will take him back to Lang’s mansion for several days, he happily follows Lang Cha. He tells Tang Yao when he leaves, “Grandpa, please wait till Gungun comes back!”

Tang Yao’s eyes are filled with tears. “Dear Gungun, grandpa will stay at home and won’t go anywhere else. You do remember to come back soon!”

Until the car drives away, Tang Yao still leans over the house window to look though. He keeps watching and suddenly turns to Bai Susu and says, “Empress, let’s go to live in Lang’s mansion, too!”

“Take a shower and sleep.” Bai Susu ignores him.

After the weekend, they will leave for Yanjing. Lang Ruoxian hasn’t finished the company’s business and will go there several days later. Gungun comes back from Lang’s mansion where Lang Cha stays. He finds that they are packing up, so he happily drags out his small suitcase.

“Mom, where are we going to play? Did you ask for leave from the kindergarten for me?”

Yan Hua looks at her son in surprise. “Gungun, you forget that we are going to Yanjing, and you will live in Yanjing in the future.”

“Yanjing?” Gungun opens his eyes wide. “Is that the place where Grandparents and Uncle live?”

“Yes! That is also where we will live in the future.” Yan Hua feels strange. Hasn’t the child known it?

Gungun cries suddenly. “I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to leave Xiaojiu. Wow...”

“Gungun?” Lang Ruoxian comes out of the cloakroom and takes Yan Hua’s suitcase. “What’s wrong with him?”

Yan Hua has a particularly weak feeling. It’s no wonder that her chubby son didn’t respond when Xiaojiu felt sad about Gungun’s leaving that day. It turns out that he didn’t hear at all, and he didn’t know that not only his grandparents and uncle would leave, but also he himself would leave...

“... If there is anything to be done in the future, let him know directly.” Lang Ruoxian once again realizes the extent of his son’s foolishness and sweetness.

Gungun still cries, crying heart-wrenchingly. The three persons downstairs run up when hearing the crying. Tang Yao feels distressed when seeing this. “Dear Gungun, tell Grandpa who bullied you, Grandpa will beat him!”

“No... Don’t...” Gungun sobs and shouts, “Don’t go to Yanzi (swallow)...”

Swallow? What the hell?

“Till now, he just knows that we are leaving here and are going to live in Yanjing in the future.” Yan Hua sighs and takes the towel from Lang Ruoxian’s hand, “Gungun, stop crying. OK? If you have something to say, you can tell us.”

Gungun simply can’t control his feeling and continues to cry heart-wrenchingly. Occasionally he says that he wants to stay in Xiaojiu’s house and he doesn’t need mom and dad, and so on.

“You pack up first and give him to me.” Lang Ruoxian takes Gungun from Yan Hua’s arms and goes straight to Gungun’s bedroom.

Lang Ruoxian puts his chubby son on his own bed. Gungun rolls over and buries himself in the quilt to continue crying. Lang Ruoxian doesn’t say a word and just watches him crying. Gungun doesn’t know how long he cries. But he is probably tired of crying and looks at Lang Ruoxian secretly.

“Stop crying?” Lang Ruoxian asks.

Gungun refuses to sit up, whining.

“If you are a brave boy, you just sit up.” Lang Ruoxian takes another hot towel. Gungun sobs and sit up. “Dad... Dad...”

Lang Ruoxian touches his head. “Gungun, you haven’t seen Grandparents since childhood, have you?”

“No... They’re not here.”

“That is not because they were not here, but because your mom was lost, and she forgot the way home. She is the only daughter of your grandparents, but she hasn’t gone home for many years.”

Gungun thinks for a moment and whispers, “Then... Grandparents must miss mom very much.”

“So now they have found mom and want to take her home.” Lang Ruoxian holds up his son. “Dad doesn’t want to be separated from mom, so I shall go back with her. What about you? Are you unwilling to go to your grandparents’ home with your mom?”

Gungun wants to cry again. He nods, and then shakes his head.

“Dad knows that you hate to part with Xiaojiu and Mingxi. If you really don’t want to go with your mom, then tell her. She will definitely stay for you, and then let grandparents and your uncle go back by themselves.”

Gungun blankly raises his head. “If Mom can’t be with Grandma, will she be very sad?”

“Will you be sad if you aren’t with your mom?” Lang Ruoxian asks him.

Gungun is silent for a few seconds and then nods vigorously. “I don’t want to be separated from Mom and Dad.”

“Mom doesn’t want to be separated from Grandparents.” Lang Ruoxian looks at his son and says, “Now, think it over for yourself. Do you want your mom to stay for you, or do you want to go to your grandparents’ house with your mom?”

Tang Yao looks around in the sitting room and nervously asks Bai Susu, “What if Gungun is unwilling to go finally?”

“Then we will stay.” Bai Susu’s tone is mild. “I will move our companies here.”

Yan Hua who is next to her is stunned. “Mom...”

“Silly girl, wherever we stay, it is same for us, as long as our family stay together. The reason to return to Yanjing is only to find the person who harmed you. When we find out, it doesn’t matter whether we return to G City or go to other places.”

Gungun runs down from the upstairs and looks up at Bai Susu.

“Grandma, I’m sorry! Gungun will go with you.”
