Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: Picking Up Xibao 7

Lu Father noted everything in his heart and at the same time, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

After seeing Tian Ling today, he had asked her in private about Zhuangzhuang’s specific situation without letting his son and daughter-in-law know. Tian Ling, being naive, did not conceal anything from him. The elderly man felt a surge of fear, realizing that if his daughter-in-law hadn’t been capable, he might never have seen his grandson again.

If one were to ask what Lu Father’s greatest wish was at the moment, it would undoubtedly be for Zhuangzhuang to grow up safely.

How could Lu Father forget the curse that Mrs. Lu had hurled at Zhuangzhuang?

As several vicious schemes crossed his mind, Lu Father heard Fubao loudly call out, "Brother Xiaoyun, Brother Xiaoyun!"

Looking up, he saw a youth racing over as if flying. Before, he had been sitting at the doorway of the house.

Recalling what the Guan brothers and Lu Tianzhi had told him when they returned home, Lu Father’s face broke into a smile.

Seeing a man in his sixties following behind Xibao and Fubao, Zhao Xiaoyun quickly stopped, narrowly avoiding toppling over Xibao just two steps in front of them on the grass.

"Hello, you are?" Zhao Xiaoyun looked at the man, who had resemblances around his eyebrows and eyes to Lu Jiang and Xibao. A thought flashed through his mind, "You must be Grandpa Lu, right? Tianzhi and Ayu have mentioned you, and I also heard that you arrived yesterday."

"Yes, I am Xibao’s grandfather. I’ve specially accompanied Xibao here to apologize," Lu Father said with a smile.

"Apologize?" Zhao Xiaoyun was confused, bending down to look at Xibao eye to eye, "Apologize for what? Xibao, have you done something to wrong me? I can’t remember."

Xibao let go of his grandfather and sister’s hands, fiddled with his fingers, and said with a pout, "I didn’t ride the big horse with you."

While speaking, he suddenly burst into tears, covering his face, "I’m sorry, Brother Xiaoyun, I didn’t mean to forget you. I was just so happy to see Grandpa that I forgot about you. I didn’t mean to break my word!"

Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly realized and burst into laughter.

"It’s okay, Xibao. I know that your grandpa came, so when I didn’t see you today, I knew you must be at home with Grandpa, and I didn’t go horseback riding either." Family’s arrival was certainly the most important thing; playing was secondary. If Zhao Xiaoyun had to choose, he would definitely choose to break a promise rather than miss being with family, but of course, he was an adult, and he would explain the reasons and apologize to his friends he had promised to meet.

Now, hearing Xibao’s words, Zhao Xiaoyun knew Xibao didn’t intentionally break the appointment; it was just that he was young with a smaller memory capacity than adults, so he didn’t manage to explain before breaking the appointment.

Zhao Xiaoyun found it understandable.

"Is it really okay? Brother Xiaoyun?" came a muffled voice from beneath Xibao’s fingers.

Zhao Xiaoyun grinned and said, "Of course it’s okay. I’m not mad, Xibao. Didn’t you come to apologize? I’ve accepted it."

"Brother Xiaoyun, you’re really a good Brother Xiaoyun!" Xibao let go and, without a tear on his face, quickly took the basket from Grandpa Lu’s hand and offered it to Zhao Xiaoyun with both hands, "A modest gift, a small token of my feeling!"

Zhao Xiaoyun chuckled, "Xibao, who did you learn this from? You’re so formal I hardly understand!"

Xibao looked up, "Brother Xiaoyun, please take it. My arms are getting sore."

Zhao Xiaoyun quickly took it, "So this is the gift for your apology?"

"Mmm!" Xibao nodded vigorously, "So will you forgive me? Brother Xiaoyun, I don’t want to be a bad kid."

Zhao Xiaoyun understood and quickly said, "Of course. Even if Xibao didn’t give me anything, as long as Xibao came to apologize, I would forgive you because Xibao is a good kid, aren’t you?"

Somehow, he found himself speaking more and more like Xibao.
