Chapter 55
After an awful night, he finally regained the respect and dignity that his usual self deserved. He felt slightly better now. ‘Humph!’
Tong Lu tilted her head and gazed at Leng Yerong on the floor, who was too shocked to get back on his feet. “Are you alright?”
“I’m… alright.” He was just utterly shocked.
Leng Yerong got up with difficulty and took Big Brother Jin from Long Yan. He felt as if he was holding a hot potato.
Miniature Leng Yejin flashed a cold half-smile. “I want to go home. Now.”
“Sure… of course you can… but all the servants at my place are off-duty and there are no clothes for you.” He wanted so badly to throw his miniature cousin brother to other people. But Long Yan, Ji Yiming and Ye Mei, who was possibly the only person with motherly instincts, took a step back at once. They were clever enough to stay away from him to protect themselves.
Shanshan’s big eyes blinked. She could not bear to see this little child leave.
“Mum, we can take little brother to shop for clothes. I want to buy some new clothes too. I have a very good fashion sense. I can pick some clothes for him. Mum, what do you say?”
“Yes-yes-yes!” Leng Yerong immediately answered on Tong Lu’s behalf.
Tong Lu gazed at the pale-faced Leng Yerong. “Is that okay? By the way, his name is Little Ye? I actually like Little Ye a lot. I can give some suggestions while you shop for his clothes. After all… the child has no mother.” It was painful for a child to be motherless. She could certainly say that for herself.
“It’s decided then! After we have breakfast, we’ll set off to the mall. I’m telling my people to get the cars ready,” Leng Yerong said firmly.
Leng Yejin did not object to this decision, but he was determined to stay with Leng Yerong. He glanced at his cousins and friend. The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, ‘No one is allowed to leave me with her!’
——
It was nine in the morning. A dozen Rolls-Royce Phantoms stopped before the entrance of the biggest children’s clothing mall. The mall was cleared an hour ago. There were no other shoppers around. It was such a power move.
Miniature Leng Yejin sat in the car with all his bodyguards in other cars leading the way and following behind. He still refused to get out of the vehicle. Long Yan bolted into the mall, bought a set of boy’s clothes and ran back into the car. He panted as he said, “Big brother, just put up with this for now. Once we go into the mall, we’ll get you clothes that suit you more.”
“Humph!”
Miniature Leng Yejin changed into new clothes. He did not forget to stomp on the pink dress he was wearing a moment ago to release his anger before being escorted out of the car.
Never mind the dozens of bodyguards around him. The four family members did not even leave his side. Their attitude towards him was attentive yet fearful, as though they worried that the extra attention would also be seen as an act of humiliation. When they spoke to him, they had to crouch down before him as a sign of respect. They had been very cautious.
Tong Lu was holding Shanshan’s small hand as she followed. She sneaked a glance at those people, who had surrounded the child. The atmosphere was very strange. She thought to herself, ‘No wonder Little Yeye has such a bad temper. These adults have totally spoiled him. He’s acting just like a little emperor!’
‘Should they pamper a child like this?’
When he walked out of the mall, the brat in Tong Lu’s eyes had transformed into a cool tot. He wore the most fashionable and coolest clothes, looking like a graceful little prince. He insisted on getting a pair of little sunglasses. The accessory complemented his swanky and dashing demeanor particularly well.
Leng Yejin, who was feeling glum, secretly sighed in relief. He could finally hide the look in his eyes from other people.
No matter how furious he was, people would take his wrath for petty resentment. He did not want anyone to interpret the look in his eyes again!
Shanshan nudged the little sunglasses on her nose. She was wearing a pair of adorable aviator sunglasses while the little boy’s had a cooler design. Despite his tiny limbs, he walked like a boss. She liked this little child so much.
