Chapter 472: Flowers and jewelry
"Yes. I feel lucky." Li Yuming smiled brightly. The thought of a toddler running all over the house and calling her ’grandma’ brought joy into her heart. And to think that all because Xia Hanchen had convinced her daughter into the wrong side, she had almost missed out on the joy of being a mother and a grandmother.
Neil couldn’t help feeling a little jealous when he saw how happy Li Yuming was. "You have a long streak of good luck coming your way. You must have done a lot of good deeds in your life. Perhaps it’s a blessing from the heavens for your kindness? My only baby was taken away from me."
She couldn’t help feeling a little sympathetic when she recalled how the kids had explained Ruby’s past. Neil had brought her up all these years while knowing that she was not his and that some day, she might reunite with her biological family. "She is still yours. You brought her up and she loves you so much." she said in consolation.
"I used to think that my Lanni would no longer love me when she got a boyfriend but she still loves me as much. Luna is getting more clingier by the day despite being engaged and expectant." When she realized that she had forgotten her manners and sounded like she was bragging about her daughters, she smiled the awkwardness away. "The point is, it’s evident that Ruby takes it as she has two fathers. When she gets married, she will have three fathers—she is very fortunate, since some people only have one or two, or none."
"You are right." Neil was happier.
Sighing in relief after having to offer solace to a grown man, Li Yuming decided to catch up with some acquaintances.
"Li Yuming." Neil called before she could get two steps away.
"Yes?"
"Congratulations on your daughter’s achievements. I heard that the ban on Luna’s company was lifted." Neil spoke up when she turned to face him.
She smiled in return. "The child likes to do everything on her own and play around here and there." Although her words were meant to be modest, she couldn’t hide how proud she was of her daughter.
"My Ruby is still so useless. She still doesn’t know what she wants." Neil commented, but from his tone, he was not mad at her. Instead, it was evident that he was ready to indulge her until she found what she wanted and focused on it.
