He observed the two children for a while, growing more fond of them by the minute, and beckoned, “Come over here, let grandpa have a good look at you.”
Xiao Shumiao tilted her little head to look at Gu Junzhu.
Lingyue’s small mouth tightened, remaining motionless.
Gu Junzhu gave a nod to Xiao Shumiao.
Xie Yunlin put Xiao Shumiao down on the ground.
Xiao Shumiao took Lingyue’s hand, and together, they walked over to Senior Master Xiang.
Both children were exceedingly good-looking, with snow-white skin, fine features, and dazzling big eyes full of spirit, flawless to the eye.
Senior Master Xiang grew fonder as he observed, touching the older and then the younger one, he looked up at Gu Junzhu, “Is the smaller one your son?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes.”
“Great!” Senior Master Xiang replied with a smile, “Your father is lucky, having a good son and now a good grandson as well.”
Senior Master Xiang was a close friend of Senior Master Gu and among the few who knew the truth about Ye Xingbei and the child’s origin, yet he held no prejudice.
He knew this child believed he was the biological son of Gu Junzhu.
This child was so sharp and clever, and supposedly a little genius with an exceptional IQ. He would undoubtedly become a remarkable person when he grew up.
When Gu Junzhu had his own child, this child would surely make a good elder brother. He would only bring benefits, no harm.
He looked at Xiao Shumiao’s little face enviously, once again sighing at Senior Gu’s good fortune.
Then he looked at Lingyue, “What about this child?”
“He’s my son’s classmate,” Gu Junzhu introduced, “His name is Lingyue. Shu was bullied by classmates once, luckily, he stepped in to help. He’s a good kid.”
Senior Master Xiang smiled, also touched Lingyue’s cheek, and cheerfully stated, “To be so young and yet stand up to injustice, I was correct – he’s a good sprout.”
Compared with the delicate Xiao Shumiao, Lingyue appealed more to his taste.
His own son, Xiang Jiechao, was quite weak in character, indecisive in his actions, which resulted in moderate success in his life.
Although Lingyue looked only six or seven, he was tougher than Xiang Jiechao in his middle age.
He admired the strong and fierce nature of this wolfling in Lingyue.
If this child is smart, and with good nurturing, he will have unlimited prospects.
The more he looked at him, the more he felt an affinity with this child.
He suddenly realized that this child’s eyes resembled his deceased wife’s; the corners slightly upturned, colloquially known as “peach blossom eyes”.
It’s often said that those with “peach blossom eyes” attract romance.
Regardless of male or female, people with “peach blossom eyes” often exhibit a flirtatious demeanor, but his wife was a chaste, gentle woman.
This child’s temperament resembled his wife’s.
His wife was calm, giving people a serene impression.
This child was cold, composed despite his tender age. With crystal clear eyes, it seemed like he could understand and see through everything.
The more he looked, the fonder he became. Patting Lingyue’s little head, he looked up at Gu Junzhu, “Does this child have any family?”
Gu Junzhu hesitated slightly before saying, “This child’s father is busy with work, lost his mother at an early age. Now he has a stepmother, a stepbrother, and a stepsister.”
To gain the achievements that Senior Master Xiang has today, one would have to be the smartest of people.
From Gu Junzhu’s brief words, Senior Master Xiang inferred that this child’s life at home wasn’t so pleasant.
