Chapter 989 - 865: Return to Beijing_3

Ji Youran’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over old lady Wang Dongxue, who had just started feeling better!

However, within days, that cold water turned into a slap in the face for him.

In less than five days, Ji Youyuan and Xiaosuisui returned.

Accompanying them was Princess Lianchun.

Seeing the familiar Princess Lianchun, the old lady’s lips trembled; back then, this young girl was the most vibrant in the Palace.

She occasionally went to the palace and met her a few times. Later, she was kidnapped, Ji Shang went to rescue her, and never returned.

"Old lady, I’m really sorry!

If it weren’t for saving me back then, General Ji wouldn’t have been separated from you and his family."

"You overstate things, Princess. If he had stayed here and not gone back, he would still be separated from his family. People always have to make choices."

The old lady’s words left everyone stunned, especially Ji Youyuan, who instinctively sensed something.

However, in front of others, he forced himself to suppress it.

Xiaosuisui paid no attention to the adults’ pleasantries and reminiscing. As soon as she returned, she stared at Wang Dongxue’s belly.

Strangely, in this cold winter, even with the biting wind and layers of clothing on Wang Dongxue, the little girl could somehow see the bulges in her belly.

"Wow! There’s a little hand punching inside Auntie’s belly!"

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to her words.

All eyes were on Wang Dongxue’s belly.

No one could actually see through the thick covering if something was really punching inside, but everyone chose to say nice things.

"It shows the child has a talent for martial arts, inheriting it from Ji the Sect Leader, and will surely become a Grand Master at a young age in the future!"

Not knowing the background, Princess Lianchun quickly chimed in with what Xiaosuisui said.

Everyone present said, "Princess Lianchun is right!"

Ji Youyuan stepped forward to support Wang Dongxue and said to the old lady, "Mother, I’m tired from traveling, so we’ll head back to the room first. Suisui also wants to chat with her aunty, so let her come to my room. Princess Lianchun is a guest; please take care of her in the meantime!"

The old lady knew what he was thinking. This family was all waiting for the little baby to come back.

So she said, "Go ahead! I’ll handle entertaining Princess Lianchun."

After saying this, she invited Princess Lianchun into the Flower Hall.

But she also instructed the servants to keep an eye on Wang Dongxue’s courtyard and, as soon as Xiaosuisui came out, to bring her to her side.

Xiaosuisui, hand in hand with Wang Dongxue, entered the room and immediately had someone prepare water, serve dishes, and bring out dim sum along with many small toys for children to play with.

"You’ve been away for months, flying from place to place. Every time I went shopping, if I saw something suitable for you, I bought it all, waiting for you to come back so I could give it all to you. See if you like them?"

Xiaosuisui buried her head in the pastry platter, responding without looking up, "I do, I do. These pastries are so delicious. Auntie, you don’t know, my Third Aunt had prepared dim sum for me in a pouch and in the secret spaces of her sleeves, but I finished them all a month ago. It’s been long since I’ve had something so good!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dongxue opened her mouth and gave Ji Youyuan a reproachful look.

Ji Youyuan: "..."

This was also his problem?

Did he himself eat well?

"Cough, cough... well! Wife, about this..."

"You men with children, always unreliable!"

Wang Dongxue gave Ji Youyuan another fierce glare and turned to Xiaosuisui, whispering softly, "In the future, don’t go out with your uncle and them. Men are all inconsiderate, not knowing how to be gentle. Go out with Auntie, and she’ll find delicious food for you every day!"

Xiaosuisui nodded vigorously, "Alright, alright! Auntie, you’re the best!"

"Alright, stop meddling in our uncle-niece relationship. First, tell me how the kids have been these days?

You don’t know; these days, I’ve been rushing without rest along the way."

Xiaosuisui nodded and immediately vouched for her uncle.

"Uncle is amazing, we flew far away, waiting for him to catch up. Every time he caught up, he didn’t rest, just told me to keep flying."

Wang Dongxue was deeply touched when she heard her husband was rushing to come back.

But she had not expected there was more to come.

"Is your lightness skill inferior to Suisui’s?

Husband, has your martial arts regressed?

Or has Suisui’s lightness skill improved?"

Ji Youyuan: "..."

Touching his nose, he quickly changed the subject.

"Let’s not discuss this now. Wife, let Suisui check your pulse first!"
