He recognized that this man with a strong presence was Gong Shaoying! His grandfather!
Little Yichen immediately put on a cold expression as he looked at the man ina daze.
Gong Shaoying glanced at the boy and then at Alice. “How is he?”
Alice immediately said, “He’s almost fully recovered. After a year of recuperation, the functions of his organs are basically the same as those of healthy people.”
Little Yichen lowered his head silently. His cold demeanor was no different from Youyou’s. Lisa was relieved to note this.
Gong Shaoying’s visit was too sudden. She initially thought that some sort of situation must have come up and he had cancelled the trip. Unexpectedly, he turned up. She wasn’t even prepared for it.
Little Yichen was taking an afternoon nap when Gong Shaoying requested to meet Gong Fan. She was worried that the boy would be too dazed to respond to him, so she informed that he was resting. However, Gong Shaoying insisted on seeing him. Accepting that she could not stop him, she uneasily led
him into the room.
Fortunately.
Little Yichen was quick to react. Even though he had just woken up and was muddle-headed, he was not so muddle-headed that he gave things away.
Gong Shaoying sat down beside the bed and said unhurriedly, “Why didn’t you greet me?”
Little Yichen raised his eyes to look at him, but his mind suddenly went blank! Lisa had not told him how Youyou would normally address Gong Shaoying! Old Master? Or… Grandfather!?
Lisa quickly said, “Young Master Fan is still sleeping!”
Gong Shaoying laughed when he heard this! “It’s one thing for you to be half-asleep, but surely you haven’t forgotten how to address me?”
Little Yichen panicked at once! In the Gong family, etiquette was most important. When a junior sees an elder, etiquette required the former to greet the latter. Gong Shaoying valued etiquette. Even someone as arrogant as Gong Jie had to greet his elders respectfully at home.
The hierarchy was clear.
Little Yichen looked at Lisa and saw her clenched fists. For a moment, he hesitated.
“Grand…” He said tentatively as he studied Lisa’s expression carefully. When he saw that she did not react, he knew that addressing the man “Grandpa’ was the right thing to do. “Grandpa,” he called out softly.
Only then did Gong Shaoying smile in satisfaction. He patted the boy’s head and asked gently, “Are you still half asleep?”
Little Yichen lowered his head and nodded lightly.
Gong Shaoying smiled. “Sleep a little longer then!”
Upon hearing this, the boy fell straight back onto the bed as if he had received amnesty! He wished he didn’t have to deal with Gong Shaoying. It was a blessing that the man had suggested that he went back to bed. This way, he wouldn’t have to rack his brain and put on a convincing act!
Gong Shaoying bent over and covered him with a blanket before standing up and walking out of the room. Before he left, Lisa whispered into his ear, “Youyou is very respectful towards Old Master. You’d better not let slip.”
“Uh huh.”
Relieved, Lisa left.
The boy lay in bed until nightfall. When it was time for dinner, he knew there was no escape. He left the room and made his way to the dining room. At this point, everyone was seated around the table, including Gong Shaoying.
When Little Yichen walked down the stairs, he saw Lisa and Alice looking at him with trepidation, worried sick that he would make a slip-up..
