Chapter 812: Rafflesia
Song Yiyan had already forgotten about Xiaoqi. She still wanted to ask Ling Sheng about Xiaoqi, but she had already run away in the opposite direction.
That adorable baby was Ling Sheng’s son. She had seen him last time when she had gone to the venue to watch the finals. The child had called her Aunt then.
She definitely did not want the baby to be exposed. She would definitely help to keep this a secret and not tell anyone!
The Old Master and Old Madam of the Rong Family doted on Nao Nao a lot. Rong Yin was the only son and Nao Nao was the only grandson of the Rong Family’s direct line of descent.
Rong Yin also had a younger sister, Rong Ying. She was impressive. She had married the prince of Country Y 20 years ago and become a princess consort.
Three years ago, the old king had died and her husband had succeeded the throne. She had also successfully been promoted from being the princess consort to the queen. Every year, the couple would choose a time to go home for a visit or bring her parents over to stay for two days.
However, this was the first time they had come home to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The date was set for the day after tomorrow, which was the fourth day of the new year. It was a private trip.
The old madam of the Rong Family had built a separate greenhouse for Nao Nao. It was a greenhouse with tropical plants throughout, which were very colorful and pretty.
Xiaoqi lost himself inside. He did not even know where to look. Everything looked nice, and he wanted everything.
Nao Nao was holding a mosquito he had just caught. Xiaoqi did not dare touch it even when Nao Nao gave it to him. He took the small bug and fed it to the Venus flytrap himself before explaining it to him. “Xiaoqi, don’t be afraid. This is Venus Flytrap. You can put it in the house in summer. It can eat mosquitoes.”
Xiaoqi squatted by the side. When he saw the Venus flytrap shut its mouth after the bug was placed inside, his eyes widened and he clapped his hands in amazement. “Really, Little Uncle! He really ate it!”
“This isn’t a big deal. I told Grandma that when my aunt comes back in two days, she’ll bring me the King of Flowers, Rafflesia.” Nao Nao put on the appearance of a full-fledged little adult. When he spoke, it was as though he was standing in front of an audience and giving a speech. He was very proud. “Do you know about Rafflesia? It’s a flower that’s even bigger than the two of us combined.”
When Ling Sheng heard this, she was amused and let out a low cough. “Oh, it’s Rafflesia. Nao Nao, aren’t you afraid that it will suffocate the plants in your garden with its stench?”
Nao Nao turned around and saw Ling Sheng. He greeted her politely before gesturing excitedly. “No, that won’t happen. Plants don’t have a sense of smell. At most, it’ll suffocate me.”
Ling Sheng thought, so you know it’s stinky. “Is your aunt really bringing you a Rafflesia?”
Nao Nao nodded seriously and invited her with solemnity. “Really. Sister Sheng Sheng, can you bring Xiaoqi over to see my Rafflesia?”
Xiaoqi’s huge eyes sparkled too as he looked at her in anticipation.
“Let me ask your Sixth Uncle.” Ling Sheng hesitated for a while. To be honest, she really wanted to see if a king and queen were different from other people when they returned to the wife’s parental house. However, she could not come just like that. She had to listen to her father.
Nao Nao was very happy. “Sixth Uncle comes to see Aunt every year. He wouldn’t dare not come. Sister Sheng Sheng, why don’t you stay at my house tonight?”
Ling Sheng smiled. He did not treat her and Xiaoqi as outsiders at all. Her biggest impression right now was that the Yan Family, the Jiang Family, and the Rong Family felt more comfortable than the Huo Family. To be honest, if it was possible, she would really stay the night.
Xiaoqi tugged at her hand. “Mommy, can I play with Little Uncle?”
