Chapter 899: 885, the lollipop of nineteen (2) Chapter 899: 885, the lollipop of nineteen (2) “Mom, where did you find it?”

Lu Hui took her hand and put the necklace back in her palm, “Yanyan, the necklace has been found, but happiness is something you must find on your own.”

Zhan Mingyan was stunned, looking up into her eyes that were smiling, she gripped the necklace tightly.

Did she really deserve that happiness?

…

Shijin Haoting

Ever since Grandpa An settled down in Shijin Haoting, Mo Xiao stopped returning to M Country and spent his days accompanying him on walks, playing chess, and drinking tea. Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu brought the two little treasures to report here every day.

With the two little ones around, the house was always filled with laughter and joy, but Jian Qing and the others couldn’t bring themselves to feel happy because Grandpa An’s complexion was getting worse by the day.

“Nineteen, no more eating, or your daddy will spank your little bottom when he comes.” In the living room, Grandpa An sat on the sofa with Nineteen obediently sitting in his lap, his chubby little hands holding a lollipop and licking it.

Of the two little treasures, Seventeen didn’t have a sweet tooth, while Nineteen, like Jian Qing, lit up at the sight of chocolate and other sweet treats.

Today, taking advantage of the time when Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing were at the company, Grandpa An had Uncle Qiu buy some lollipops for the little ones. Seventeen wasn’t interested in lollipops and gave all of them to Nineteen, who immediately asked Grandpa An to unwrap one for him.

Now, Nineteen had nearly licked one lollipop in half, and Grandpa An, guessing that Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing would be back soon, hurriedly tried to take away Nineteen’s lollipop.

Enjoying his treat, Nineteen was unwilling to hand over the lollipop, waving his chubby little hands, not allowing Uncle Qiu to get close.

“Yiyah…ah…”

Baby talk spilled out from his little rosy mouth; Uncle Qiu didn’t know how to proceed, reluctant to take the lollipop from his adorable little face.

“Hehe!”

Mo Xiao, watching from the side, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Grandpa, I’ve told you not to give Nineteen any lollipops. Now look, he won’t let go.”

Grandpa An, amused and exasperated, said, “This Nineteen, he’s so much like little Jian Qing when she was small. She used to nag me to buy her ice cream all the time.”

Hearing this, Mo Xiao shook his head with a light laugh, signaling to Uncle Qiu with a glance to take a seat. He then reached out to pick up Nineteen and gently touched his little head.

“Nineteen, Daddy and Mommy will be back soon. If they find out you’ve been eating lollipops, Daddy will be mad and spank your little bottom. Then Daddy will take Seventeen to play and leave you behind. Be good, give the lollipop to Grandpa, and he will hide it for you. We can eat it next time, okay?” he coaxed patiently.

Nineteen, with the lollipop in his mouth, his beautiful purple eyes squinted into crescent shapes as if pondering. Then, with a quick lick, he extended his little chubby hand and willingly handed the lollipop to Mo Xiao.

Ying ying, Nineteen’s lollipop was gone.

“Such a good boy!”

Mo Xiao handed the lollipop to Uncle Qiu, struggling to hold back his laughter at the sight of the silver strands hanging from Nineteen’s mouth corners.

“By the way, where’s Luoluo?” Grandpa An looked around, not seeing Jian Luo.

“Bai Jue just got back; he went upstairs to find him.” Mo Xiao played with the forlorn Nineteen as he spoke.

Elsewhere

“Bai Jue, where did you vanish to last night, showing up looking like a ghost this morning.” Jian Luo poured a glass of water and handed it to the person beside her.

Bai Jue stayed silent, gulping down the water.

With a tilt of her head and a chin propped on her hand, Jian Luo watched him chug the water, her lips curling slightly. Her gaze drifted down to his bare neck, pausing for a moment.

“Bai Jue, where’s your necklace?”

The necklace had been around his neck since they met; it was still there yesterday, but today, on his return, it was gone.

“It’s here.” Bai Jue raised his hand, revealing a ring.

Jian Luo gave him a look, “I obviously saw that, but where’s your necklace?” For so many years, it had always hung around his neck, so why would he suddenly take the ring off and wear it on his finger, and especially on the ring finger of his left hand?

“Gave it away.” He said.

“Gave it away?” Jian Luo looked at him in astonishment. Others might not understand the significance of that necklace to him, but how could he not know? That necklace was a keepsake from his father.

His eyes shifted as he tentatively asked, “You didn’t give it to Mingyan, did you?”

“Hmm.”

“She accepted it?”

“She didn’t want it, so I threw it away.” Bai Jue said nonchalantly, but the curve of his lips was uglier than a cry.

Upon hearing this, Jian Luo stood up, furrowed his brow, and said, “Are you crazy? That necklace meant so much to you, how could you just throw it away? You shouldn’t be called Bai Jue, you should change your name to ‘idiot’.”

“If she doesn’t want it, the necklace means nothing to me anymore.” Bai Jue’s gaze fell on the bracelet on his wrist, “Just like the bracelet Black Jack gave you, if you didn’t want it, Black Jack wouldn’t take it back either, he would throw it away too.”

Jian Luo held his forehead and said, “So you wear the ring on your little finger, what, planning to stay single for life?”

Bai Jue gave a self-deprecating laugh, “Luo, you should know that, we’re the same kind of people.”

If the heart is not stirred, it is nothing, but once it is, it becomes a thing of a lifetime.

Jian Luo looked at him and finally, he let out a sigh, “Where did you throw the necklace?”

“I’m tired.” Bai Jue changed the subject.

“Stop pretending to sleep, where did you really throw the necklace?” Jian Luo raised his hand and smacked him on the head without any consideration that he was a patient.

Bai Jue covered his head, complaining, “I threw it in the flower shop. Why, are you going to help me find it?”

“Who has the time to bother with you? Go pick it up yourself, I can’t be bothered with you. I’m going to see how Seventeen and the others are doing.” Jian Luo was fed up with his gloomy demeanor, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him, “Eat your breakfast on the table and then get lost to sleep.”

After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and stepped out of the room.

Bai Jue glanced at the breakfast on the table, completely without appetite, he flopped down on the sofa to sleep.

Downstairs, Seventeen and Nineteen were sitting on a blanket playing with toys, with Mo Xiao by their side. When they saw Jian Luo coming down, the little ones excitedly waved at him.

“Luoluo, what’s the rush?” Mo Xiao asked.

Jian Luo walked over, kissed the two little ones, and said, “Dad, I need to go out for a bit, I won’t be back for lunch.”

“Alright, be careful on the road, drive slowly.”

“Got it.”

Jian Luo greeted Grandpa An, and then hastily ran out, bumping into Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing who were returning.

“Luoluo, is someone chasing you or what?” Jian Qing teased.

“It’s all because of that idiot Bai Jue. He threw away his necklace, the fool.” Jian Luo complained.

Jian Luo’s eyes hardened, “What happened?”

“It’s a long story, I’ll tell you later, I’m going to help him look for the necklace now; the guy is in his room with a fever, sleeping.”

Having said that, Jian Luo hurriedly left.
