Chapter 481 - 256 Special Gift_1
Prince Consort Pan looked upon this serene and tranquil scene, his heart exceedingly at peace and tender. Having lived more than half a lifetime, he had finally understood what he really wanted.
He said, "Yueyue, I’m here again. I’ve also brought Brother Jie; he’s my eldest grandson and is already six years old."
When Cheng Yue saw this man coming again, she frowned disapprovingly and said, "You’re such a nuisance, what are you doing at my house again? Don’t think that just because you’re not wearing large pearls, Yueyue won’t be annoyed with you."
Before Brother Jie arrived, Pan Yang had repeatedly drilled into him the need to get close to Auntie Cheng. On the boat, Grandpa had also instructed him to spend more time with "Auntie Cheng" and her children.
He had intended to greet Auntie Cheng, but seeing how much Grandpa was disliked, he felt sure that he wouldn’t be welcomed either. He was too embarrassed to step forward and speak, his face flushed with shyness as he twisted his fingers, unsure of what to do. He was even too shy to greet the Embroidered older sister he had met before.
Qian Yixiu quickly took Jingjing down from the swing, walked around it with a smile, and after paying respects to Grandpa Pan with a curtsey, she grabbed Brother Jie’s hand and said with a smile, "Brother Jie, welcome."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Ming Wa and Jingjing came tumbling over, clapping their hands vigorously and muttering, "Fan ying, fan ying, fan ying..."
Their speech was unclear, and coupled with a slight accent, "welcome" was pronounced as "fan ying."
Shan Dian wouldn’t be left out either, running over to sit on the ground and paw at the ground while barking twice to express his welcome.
Realizing he was indeed welcomed, Brother Jie’s mouth stretched into a wide grin, and all his previous embarrassment vanished. He found the chubby toddlers endearing, and for some reason Benben seemed to get smaller the more he grew—though he was also endearing. He greeted each one, "Embroidered older sister, Mingming, Sister Jing, Benben, hehe."
Jingjing giggled upon hearing him and quickly pointed at Shan Dian, saying, "It’s Shandian, not Benben, Uncle Benben’s baby."
