Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 447: Chapter 448: Wanting To Take Lingyue Away

Seeing that Lingyue had already woken up, Xiao Shumiao’s originally dark, bright eyes lit up even more, sparkling and shining, “Brother Xiaoyue, you’re awake!”

He rushed to the bed, laying on Lingyue, and seeing Lingyue’s mess of a face, his originally smiling face instantly turned gloomy, big teardrops accumulating rapidly in his eyes, “pitter-patter,” they fell.

He cried, choking and hiccupping, looking pitifully at Lingyue, “Brother Xiaoyue…”

Lingyue frowned, “What’s wrong, Xiao Shu?”

Xiao Shumiao pointed at his face, “Hurts…”

Lingyue chuckled, cajoling him, “It doesn’t hurt at all.”

“Impossible,” Xiao Shumiao did not believe, “The last time I fell and bruised my knee, even though it didn’t break the skin, it hurt a lot.”

Lingyue said, “It really doesn’t hurt, Brother Xiaoyue is different from Xiao Shu. Xiao Shu is delicate, while Brother Xiaoyue is thick-skinned and tough, unafraid of pain.”

“No way!” Xiao Shumiao wasn’t pleased and said, “Brother Xiaoyue’s skin is not rough at all, Brother Xiaoyue is so handsome.”

Lingyue could not help but laugh.

Listening to the cute and innocent Q&A delivered by the two kids, Senior Master Xiang felt both comforted and heartbroken.

The affection between the two children was so deep, which indicated that Gu Junzhu’s family treated his grandson well.

But when he heard his grandson commenting on Xiao Shumiao’s fragility and his own toughness, he could not help but think, regardless of how well the Gu family treated his grandson, his grandson was fundamentally living under someone else’s roof.

Xiao Shumiao was the precious young master of the Gu family, while his grandson was nothing more than Xiao Shumiao’s sidekick.

In ancient times, Lingyue would have been considered a companion akin to a tutor.

A generous family wouldn’t mistreat such a companion, as trusted confidants were indispensable.

However, a companion like that would always be just a companion. When the master’s child erred, the companion would be the one to bear the punishment. In case of danger, the child of the master would be protected first, and the companion could be sacrificed.

Wasn’t this what happened this time?

Xiao Shumiao was unscathed, while his grandson was injured all over.

He did not blame Gu Junzhu, he just felt distressed for his grandson.

No matter how good other people’s houses are, they can’t compare with one’s own.

He was going to take his grandson back to the Xiang Family to be the master.

In the future, his grandson would be the heir of the Xiang Family.

He would nurture many confidant-like companions for his grandson.

With his grandson’s intelligence and talent, his future achievements would definitely be comparable to Gu Junzhu’s.

His grandson would succeed him, becoming the most outstanding Family Head of the Xiang family, and then give him many great-grandsons and great-granddaughters.

The prospect of the future filled him with strength.

After the scandalous actions of Xiang Bingzhi had been exposed, he had been severely ill, shocked by the disgraceful acts hidden behind the splendor and glory of the Xiang Family, leading him to feel disheartened and demoralized, and thus, everything he did was half-hearted.

The mind directly influences the body.

His health had been getting worse.

However, now, the recognition between him and Lingyue was like a cardiac stimulant, making him feel vibrant and full of life again.

Seeing that Lingyue had already calmed Xiao Shumiao down and stopped his tears, Xiao Shumiao climbed onto the bed and shared the delicacies that he and Gu Junzhu had bought, he turned his attention to Gu Junzhu, “Xiao Zhu, we have something to discuss.”

Gu Junzhu nodded.

The two of them entered a separate room together.

The door was closed. Senior Master Xiang got straight to the point, “Xiao Zhu, once the injury heals, I want to take Xiaoyue home.”

Gu Junzhu was expecting this. He did not object, “As long as Lingyue agrees, I have no objections.”

Gu Junzhu knew how much Senior Master Xiang loved his late wife.

For many years, Senior Master Xiang had been blaming himself for his wife’s death.
