Chapter 2398: Melting ice
Regarding Tangtang’s answer, Yin Yuerong didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. However, the sullenness enveloping her heart inexplicably dissipated with those child’s simple words.
The little fella comforted her softly: “Don’t be angry, Grandma. You won’t be pretty anymore if you’re angry! Grandma, the plum blossoms are so pretty outside. Tangtang will go see them with you!”
“Alright,” Yin Yuerong agreed.
After Tangtang and Yin Yuerong entered the room, Auntie Qiao had been anxiously waiting outside the door, worried that Madam would redirect her anger at the child.
To her surprise, the two of them walked back out not long later, and Yin Yuerong’s expression was many degrees calmer.
It had been cold recently, so Yin Yuerong glanced at the little fella next to her before instructing her housekeeper, “Prepare a thicker jacket for him.”
“Grandma, Tangtang’s health is really good. I’m not cold.”
“It’s windy in the plum forest.”
“Thank you, Grandma! Grandma is so good to Tangtang!” The little boy rejoiced.
Yin Yuerong maintained her stiff expression without any other emotion. “Auntie Qiao, go and prepare more clothing tomorrow.”
Auntie Qiao immediately understood. Little Young Master actually managed to pacify Madam! She quickly nodded and responded, “Yes yes yes, Madam, I will go and make preparations now!”
After changing into a thick jacket, Yin Yuerong and Tangtang walked to the plum forest.
The little fella was wearing a jacket with white fur on the lapels and resembled a snowball as he walked in the snow.
“Wow! So pretty! Come here, Grandma!”Read latest chapters at L istnovel.com
The little fella was dashing through the forest but he came back a few steps later, returning to Yin Yuerong’s side. He extended his hand and clutched his grandmother’s hand. “Grandma, I’ll hold onto you. Don’t slip!”
Yin Yuerong peered down at her hand in the little fella’s grasp and lifted it a centimeter but didn’t pull away in the end.
During their walk, the little fella kept chattering with her, evident that he wanted to make her happy again.
“Grandma, did you plant all these flowers?”
“Grandma, I’ll take a photo for you!”
“Grandma, the snow is so white! It’s as white as Great White’s fur. Oh right, Great White is a giant white tiger; he’s my friend!”
“White tiger…” Yin Yuerong seemed to have recalled something, a hint of somberness creeping into her face.
“That’s right! Great White is really soft and really cute! You’d definitely like Great White if you saw him, Grandma! I’ll introduce him to you later, Grandma! Oh right, there’s also Great Black! Great Black is a black panther!”
…
Two rows of big and small footprints were stamped onto the snow-covered ground, extending into the depths of the plum forest.
After Yin Yuerong and Tangtang admired the blossoms for a period of time, they returned to the study.
Tangtang had broken a branch of plum flowers and helped Yin Yuerong place it into a vase on the desk.
With the splatter of dark red, the solemn and cold study appeared much livelier.
Yin Yuerong opened a drawer on her desk and pulled out a fountain pen. This pen appeared to have been custom-made with plum blossom prints carved onto the surface. There was also a button on the body of the pen which was equipped with a recording function.
“Grandma, this pen is so pretty.”
“For you.” Yin Yuerong handed the fountain pen to him. “It’s to thank you for your plum blossoms.”
“Thank you, Grandma!” The little fella happily accepted it and carefully stored it in his pocket. Then he leaned over and smacked a kiss on Yin Yuerong’s cheek.
Yin Yuerong appeared to be unaccustomed to this level of intimacy and her body stiffened. She expressionlessly said, “It’s just a pen.”
Tangtang seriously shook his head. “It’s not! It’s a pen given to me by Grandma!”
The next morning:
The minute Tangtang got up from bed, he noticed there were a lot of newly prepared clothes in his room and one big colorful container on the table.
When he opened the container, he realized it was filled to the brim with milk candy—the kind that Tangtang gave Yin Yuerong the other day…
