Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 515 Xiao Yu Is Captured

Jiang Qiong had thought he would demand some outrageous conditions, but it turned out to be these, and she instantly laughed, more beautiful than flowers: "No problem, the Xiao Family can manage all of that. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, we would have done the same."

The Xiao Family’s marriage to a daughter-in-law was bound to be an event that shook Beijing, and they would not skimp on the necessary courtesies. The whole of Beijing would know that Yun Yue was their Xiao Family’s bride, crowned and veiled, wedded through proper and honorable means!

Hearing this, Ji Xian’s countenance relaxed slightly, "For now, that’s it. We’ll talk about the rest later."

"Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say, sir," Jiang Qiong agreed readily. As long as they were willing to marry Yun Yue into the Xiao Family, any condition was acceptable.

...

After Jiang Qiong and Xiao Jingchang had left, Ji Xian looked at Yun Yue with annoyance.

"Ah, it’s tough to keep a grown daughter at home."

Yun Yue raised her eyebrows: "Then why don’t you let Xiao Chen marry into the Ji Family?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xian nodded meaningfully: "That’s actually a good idea."

"Master, the Xiao Family won’t agree," Housekeeper Ji shook his head firmly. It was unlikely between grandparents and granddaughters.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen came out from the room and seized Yun Yue’s hand: "I agree, as long as you consent to marry Yun Yue to me, I have no problem with whatever she says."

Hearing this, Ji Xian’s eyes lit up: "Housekeeper Ji, did you hear what he said? Hurry and call Mr. and Mrs. Xiao back to discuss the matter of him marrying into the family."

Housekeeper Ji: "..."

Although Ji Xian said so, he didn’t really plan to insist. As long as the Xiao Family treated Yun Yue well, he had no objections. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

What he didn’t expect was that Xiao Chen would agree so readily, and this attitude inevitably gave him a better impression of him.

Yun Yue looked at him: "What are you doing here?"

"I heard your stepmother was ill, so I came to see her," Ji Xian gestured to the person behind him, who promptly carried two boxes of gifts into the sickroom.

"They’re all tonics; making soup with them would be ideal."

Yun Yue’s eyes instantly frosted over, squinting slightly: "Are they the ones I gave you?"

Ji Xian was genuinely startled by her demeanor, having never seen her speak to him so sternly before.

Luckily, he had discarded the thought earlier, or else he feared she would berate him to death.

"The ones you gave me, I’m eating myself. These were given by others. Having yours is enough. These would just gather dust in the storeroom, so I took some to bring over."

Ji Xian really didn’t dare to lie to her.

Her eyes were like a lie detector; one lie, and she was sure to catch on.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yue’s expression softened somewhat.

The group didn’t just stand outside the door, they entered the sickroom.

Lin Xiang was watching "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf."

"This Big Big Wolf is really stupid; he can’t catch any goats, and he’s going to get scolded by his wife again."

Ji Xian slipped a bit underfoot, nearly falling, but Housekeeper Ji was quick and steady in helping him.

"Master, keep calm," Housekeeper Ji whispered.

Ji Xian straightened up and looked solemnly over at Lin Xiang.

He saw Lin Xiang wearing sick clothes, sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, with a rabbit headband on her head, her face sickly pale but her spirit youthful and lively.

"This..." Ji Xian’s inquiring gaze turned to Yun Yue.

If he remembered correctly, her stepmother was supposed to be the president of a company. So why did she look like this now, with the intelligence of a child?

Yun Yue pointed to her head.

Ji Xian then realized the truth and approached with a kind smile.

Liu Lanfang and Sister Li also came forward to greet Ji Xian.

"Aunt Xiang, this is my grandfather, he came to see you."

"This is Aunt Xiang, and this is my grandma, as well as Sister Li."

Ji Xian’s gaze followed until it landed on Liu Lanfang, a dim glint in his eyes fleeting as he nodded and smiled in greeting.

"Your grandpa? Well, that would be my dad." Lin Xiang cocked her head, "Dad!"

Ji Xian, unexpectedly called ’dad’, hadn’t recovered from the shock, his old face filled with excitement, tinged with years of bitterness and sorrow, "Ah."

In an instant, tears streaked down Ji Xian’s face, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Master..." Housekeeper Ji looked on sympathetically.

Only he could understand the master’s inner turmoil at that moment.

That call of ’dad’ must have broken through his defenses.

A few people looked at him, puzzled, not understanding why he had started crying.

"Dad, don’t cry, here, have all these pomelos." Lin Xiang produced a peeled pomelo.

Sister Li watched in astonishment.

Before, nobody could touch these pomelos because they were supposedly saved for the young lady to eat, yet the lady had so generously given them to Mr. Ji.

And she even called him dad...

Perhaps this is what is called fate.

"Ah, okay." Ji Xian dried his tears, smiling as he took a pomelo and took a bite, "It’s really sweet."

"If you like it, eat more. I’ll peel more if it is not enough." Lin Xiang said with a smile, then happily ran to the bed, curling up her legs to watch TV.

Yun Yue helped Ji Xian to the sofa, where his emotional heart took a long time to calm down.

"Her brain has been damaged, and she has memory loss and confusion. Right now, her intellectual capacity is probably that of a nine-year-old."

Yun Yue looked at him with a complex gaze.

Aunt Xiang is what she called based on her generation, but he was not someone to readily agree...

Perhaps in his dreams, he wished for a daughter to call him dad.

Perhaps her mother was still alive, but that was only a possibility...

So, until it was certain whether her mother was alive or not, she wouldn’t share this news with him, to prevent him from getting his hopes up again.

"So that’s how it is." Ji Xian nodded slightly, his eyes warmly on Lin Xiang, "This child and I must have fate."

"Exactly, Master. If you like, you could adopt Mrs. Lin as your goddaughter. In this way, her calling you ’dad’ wouldn’t be a mistake." Housekeeper Ji suggested with a smile.

Having been by the master’s side for decades, he knew that the master still hadn’t gotten over Miss Wenjun; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so affected by that ’dad’.

Yun Yue raised an eyebrow, "That’s not a bad idea."

"You think it’s fine?" Ji Xian looked at her with some surprise.

"No problem, it’s a good idea."

With that, Ji Xian nodded, "Then it’s settled, I will ask Master Qi to calculate it tomorrow."

Xiao Chen stood by, watching with surprise at this twist of fate when suddenly his phone in his pocket vibrated insistently.

He stood up to step outside, answering the call as he walked towards the end of the corridor.

"Master Chen, Qiu Jun is on the move again. Xiao Yu has been kidnapped..."

The urgent voice of Xiao Dian came over the phone.

"I’ll be right there." Xiao Chen hung up and hurriedly walked to the ward, his expression dark.

Yun Yue saw him and was startled, "Is something wrong?"

"Mhm, I need to be away for a few days. Take good care of yourself." Xiao Chen gently took her hand, kissed her on the forehead, and nodded to Ji Xian before turning the corner into the next ward.

"Master Chen, you finally came to see me?" Feng Ye lay in bed leisurely, lifting his gaze only to notice the cold expression and suffocating pressure around him, promptly sitting up and asking seriously, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Feng immediately stood up, "Master Chen."

"Xiao Yu is in trouble. You protect Yun Yue; I’m taking people to rescue Xiao Yu," Xiao Chen ordered right away.

"Okay." Xiao Feng nodded, his eyes pleading, "Master Chen, you must bring Xiao Yu back safely."
