Chapter 1754 “Win Over Di Ling Yan (1)”
Wen Yun Feng?
Ling Yan tilts her head while staring upwards, her face deep in thought.
Why does this name sound so familiar like I heard it somewhere before?
“Grandpapa, are you really not going to sell me? She asks with watery spring eyes, “Just now that auntie wanted to abduct me, I don’t want to go with her…”
She doesn’t like Gu Ya, even if it’s for no reason.
“Don’t worry, this is my house, no one can take you away unless I allow it. You are safe to wait here for your parents to come pick you up.” Heavenly dismissed the complaint and peeled a tangerine to feed it to the pipsqueak. “Housekeeper, pass my word down that Ling Yan’s status will be the young miss of the household. Anyone who dares to disrespect her will be expelled from the estate. My home does not allow those who doesn’t know their place and ignore my command.”
The overbearing voice stunned the old butler looking senior that’s been attending to the pair on one side.
He always thought that the monarch only said those things in order to keep Lady Gu Ya from expecting something. Now it seems the truth was far from that assumption.
Respectfully arching his fist: “Yes, Monarch.”
“Go down.” Heavenly dismisses the old senior with indifference.
In an instant, only the pipsqueak and grandfather remains.
“Ling Yan, you love to eat so much, if my daughter were to be around then she would surely make some very delicious food for you. I’m sure you will like it too.”
The image of his own daughter once again resurfaces in the man’s mind, causing him to evoke a touching smile of warmth due to how proud he was of her.
In this life, the ones he owed the most would be his wife Bai Ning and his daughter Bai Yan. He couldn’t be there when his wife gave birth, nor could he watch over that child as she suffered in that Bai House…. And now, he couldn’t even be there with his family due to all the enemies here in the outer domain. If he were to ever make it back to the mortal world and reunite with them, he must work fast and hard to remove all the obstacles standing in his way less danger befalls his loved ones.
“Really?” Di Ling Yan’s eyes glittered with stars, “Is it comparable to my mother’s cooking?”
Heavenly nearly couldn’t hold himself together and broke out laughing over that comment. He would of course think Bai Yan’s cooking would be better, after all, the lady’s his daughter. But for a little baby like this, there’s no way he could say it aloud and only kept silent.
“You will be able to taste her cooking once the opportunity comes…. It’s just that I don’t know when I’ll be able to see her again.” He shakes his head helplessly.
Born with higher intellect, the baby senses the damped mood so she decides to remedy it: “Grandpapa’s daughter is not around?”
