1564 Do You Not Want Me Anymore? (1/2)
”You're not to cry.” Li Sicheng was seated in the passenger seat in front. His voice was stern. ”You're a boy. What did I teach you?”
Li Jianqian stifled his cries and turned his head to continue looking outside the window. ”That I must be strong,” he replied.
”What is our purpose for going to Grandpa's place this time?” Li Sicheng asked.
”To keep him company.” Li Jianqian lowered his head. His voice was a little soft. He quickly added in, ”But, I don't want to.”
”Your objections are futile.” Li Sicheng looked out the window and said, ”We'll stay until you've familiarized yourself with your surroundings.”
Su Qianci hugged her son and said, ”Don't be afraid. There are many fun things to do at Grandpa's house. Grandpa has already prepared a room for you. All the toys you want are there. You will also have many friends in school. You'll definitely be happy there.”
No I won't. I'm not happy at all…
Li Jianqian didn't say another word. He looked out of the window and bit his lip as tears streamed down his face.
He was 5 years old. Other 5-year-olds didn't have to do this…
It was evening by the time they reached the Capital. When they arrived at the Rong residence, Rong Haiyue and Rong Xuan were elated. Huge smiles appeared on their faces as they went up to welcome their grandson.
When Li Jianqian saw Rong Haiyue and Rong Xuan, he bowed his head politely and greeted, ”Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma.”
Rong Xuan and Rong Haiyue were beaming so widely that their eyes were almost closed as they replied, ”Hello, Dasu. Come on in. Grandpa and Grandma have prepared a room for you. Grandma even fixed it up personally. Come in and take a look.”
Li Jianqian smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He followed the two elderly people in.
