<strong>Chapter 424 Their ns Were Canceled</strong>
Yuan Yuan ran over to his mother’s side when he heard his name being called and wrapped his tiny arms around her leg.
“Ma ma... I’m hungry!” Yuan Yuan said as he looked up at his mother and patted his own little tummy. It was a few hours since he hadst eaten.
He Xiyan took his hand in hers and walked him back. However, she had barely taken a few steps before she ran into a tall figure.
“Father...” She stopped and nodded politely at her father-inw.
Yuan Yuan mimicked her actions and said adorably, “Father...”
Ye Snr. and He Xiyan were both left speechless.
Yuan Yuan had spoken rather loudly, so the two maids nearby overheard him. They both covered their mouths with their hands as they burst intoughter. This child’s antics were so amusing that they thought that he was like a little clown.
He Xiyan looked at Yuan Yuan in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to mimic her actions.
She bent down and patted his cheeks. Then, she pointed at Ye Zhiyuan and said, “Yuan Yuan, this is your grandfather. Repeat after me and say ‘grandfather’...” She suddenly realized that Yuan Yuan had never learned how to say the words ‘grandfather’ and ‘grandmother’ and had never addressed his grandparents as such before.
Yuan Yuan shook his head and pouted. There was no way he was going to call that man ‘grandfather’ and besides, that uncle didn’t even like him.
“Yuan Yuan, say ‘grandfather’!” Yuan Yuan couldn’t understand why this child was suddenly so disobedient.
Yuan Yuan turned his head away and refused to say the words no matter what she said and his tiny hands balled into fists.
Ye Snr. moved his hand to his mouth and coughed drily, then he said, “It’s okay, don’t force the child to do so.”
This wasn’t his grandson, so he didn’t look forward to Yuan Yuan acknowledging him as his grandfather anyway.
In the evening.
The chefs had prepared a delicious spread and most of the dishes were light, Cantonese-style dishes to cater to the elderly couple.
He Xiyan helped her parents-inw scoop some rice and the family sat together to have a meal, looking like a picture of a harmonious family.
Ye Snr. looked at his son who sat across him and his eyes were sharp and serious after having experienced the hardships that came with life. “Ah Hao...” he suddenly started. “Do you not n to return home for an entire month?”
Ye Snr. sounded slightly displeased.
Ye Hao had just eaten a mouthful of food and he was surprised that his father would bring up this topic.
He Xiyan looked at her father-inw in confusion.
Ye Hao frowned, then he said, “I’ve already canceled our holiday ns, dad.”
Ye Snr. nodded but his face remained inscrutable. “Good,” he said, then paused for a moment, “We’ve only just settled several internal issues within thepany and moreover, it has only been a year since you took over the reins at thepany so it wouldn’t do well to the employees’ morale if you left just like that. I should know since I’ve been there before. You shouldn’t make decisions rashly and you must think of the consequences.”
Ye Snr. said gravely as he took his son to task.
Xia Jingshu noticed her husband’s change in attitude and quickly put some food into his bowl. “Alright, our son will be able to think for himself, so don’t worry too much and eat up,” she said.
Were their holiday ns canceled?
He Xiyan looked at Ye Hao in confusion since this was the first time she had heard of it, and there was a sh of disappointment in her eyes.
Didn’t he tell her that he had already taken care of everything at work? Furthermore, he had already put in so many extra hours at work, so why couldn’t he take some time off? Their suitcases were all packed and ready for the trip.
Ye Hao smiled apologetically at his wife and also put arge slice of fish in her bowl, “Eat up. I’ll let you know moreter.”
Then, he continued to eat.
The family finished their meal in silence, then Ye Hao dragged He Xiyan to their room after they had eaten.
