The Blessed

After leaving that sentence, Ling Jinghong decisively left with his parents’ and brother’s bodies. Watching his back, Ling Jingpeng couldn’t tell how he felt at this moment. In his memories, Brother Jinghong was not this kind of indifferent person in his memories, but…those people forced him so!

"Jingpeng, he is a good person."

Ye Ruyun reached out and held his hand, and looked at that departing figure side by side with him. Ling Jingpeng turned to look at her, raised a smile and nodded, "Hmm, he will be blessed."

Fingers interlocked and gazing at each other, the occasion was wrong, but it didn't stop them from feeling true to each other.

“Is it done…”

Inside the room, Ling Jingxuan, lying in bed, murmured, for he hadn’t hear the noise and their screaming.

"Hmm, Ling Jinghong has collected their bodies."

Yan Shengrui nodded and lay down holding him. With his hearing, nothing outside could escape from his eyes. Ling Jingxuan slightly picked his eyebrows, but said nothing. Maybe it was not that that Ling Jinghong collected their bodies. From now on, they and the old Ling family really got their connections cut off. As for Ling Chenghu…He believed he wouldn’t have the balls to provoke them. So, everything could draw to an end here.

When Ling Chenglong and others knew, the blood outside the gate had already been cleaned. So the couple only sighed helplessly, but soon shifted their attention onto the shower rituals for the tiny bun. In this era, a kid’s shower rituals was very important, which would usually be presided by the mid-wife. But it was his disciple Zhao Shan who helped him deliver the baby, so Ling Jingxuan asked his mother Lady Zhao to be on his behalf.

"They are out, they are out."

In the warm sunshine in the afternoon, Ling Jingxuan carrying the baby came out under Yan Shengrui’s support, while Ling Wen, Ling Wu and Tiewa opened the way in the front. Those people in the guest room who had long gathered in there instantly looked over. Ling Jingxuan also didn’t make some opening speech like when he entertained the guests, only handed the baby to Lady Zhao smilingly, “Sorry to trouble you then.”

"Don’t say than. It’s my honor to do the shower rituals for the little guy."

Because of Zhao Shan, Lady Zhao was familiar with people of Ling family. Even if she had known who Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui were, she didn’t change his attitude at all like Old Wang. Distance was drawn by people. As long as they didn’t flinch, their distance would never be opened.

So-called shower rituals were to throw a shower on the third day after the baby was born, firstly, to wash off the dirt and those difficulties in life, secondly, to pray for blessing, thirdly, while throwing a shower for the baby, those who came to witness it would throw their presents into the bathtub, the more presents the baby received, the more blessed the baby would be. So, one could say the shower rituals were as important as the grabbing test on a baby’s first birthday.

"Uh..."

The naked little thing made a sound and then opened his eyes that had closed for a whole day, but soon he closed them again, and wore an expression like he quite enjoyed Lady Zhao’s service. Everyone couldn’t help laughing out. As highest seniority of all, Lady Wang’s parents were really generous, they directly threw a pair of silver bracelets into the water.

Then Ling Chenglong and his wife, Wang Jinyu, Zhao&Han couple and others all threw their presents in one after another, nothing more than gold or jade stuff. When it was Zeng Shaoqing’s turn, he took out a fist-size blood-red bead and threw it in. Everyone was curious, wondering what it is. Looks pricey!

"It’s generous of you to sacrifice this piece of Blood Stone."

Yan Shengrui picked his eyebrows and nodded with a satisfying smile. Although Ling Jingxuan still couldn’t see its quality, he still exposed a smile. How could something Lord Zeng took out be common?

Ignoring some son-con, Zeng Shaoqing then two out another two pricey-looking things and threw them in the bathtub. When it was Ling Jinghan, Zhang Qing and others’ turn, it was all some valuable things. Finally it was those few little buns’ turn. The biggest Ling Wen moved forward, then took out an exquisitely-engraved gold carriage, “Little brother, this is a gift from your big brother. Uncle Hong said most of them will send you bracelets, jade pendants and something like that, so big brother wants to send you something different. This carriage is super expensive which has cost nearly half of my savings. Do you like it?”

Half of Ling Wen's savings? At least a few thousand taels of silver, right? All the people were shocked. They guessed this time he wouldn’t be stingy, but never expected he directly cost so much on a present! Since when the little bun became so generous?

The rare thing was, as his words fell, the tiny bun actually opened his eyes to take a look at his present. Though he closed them soon, it really amused Ling Wen. He said to Ling Jingxuan excitedly, “Daddy, did you see that? He likes the present I prepared for him!”

"Yeah, I saw it. Our Wen is really a good elder brother."

Ling Jingxuan dotingly kneaded his head, Ling Wen couldn’t help blushing, with those beaming eyes staring at his little brother.

"Little thing, this is the present your second brother prepares for you. Do you like it?”

Seeing that, Ling Wu hurriedly offered his present before their little brother like offering a treasure. It was a meat stuffed bun made of jade. Almost in an instant, everyone burst out laugher. Those two were truly brothers. One spend so much on a gold carriage for their little brother, while the other sent something he loved most. Really both had their own style, right?

No one knew if the tiny bun was also a little foodie or what, he opened his eyes again. The excited Ling Wu threw the ‘meat stuffed bun’ into the water and held his cute little brother and gave him a big kiss.

"Little brother, I’m your Brother Tiewa. This is the present I prepared for you. Hope you can be good at your study like Wen and Wu!”

In contrast, Tiewa’s present was a lot common—a brush made of gold, but still quite pricey! The tiny also gave him the face, he slightly opened his eyes and threw a peep. Seeing that, Tiewa threw himself back into his daddy’s arms happily. And finally, the shower rituals was almost over.

“Bleating…”

Suddenly, some strange sound attracted the attention of all people. As they looked over following the sound, they saw that wolf daddy, carrying something black and white in his mouth, came in with Dahei and Xiaohei. Ignoring their eyes, wolf daddy walked straight to the bathtub and put the thing in his mouth down, then licked the tiny bun, then like their dad, Dahei and Xiaohei also put down the bamboo shoots in their mouths and moved forward to lick the tiny bun.

"A panda?!"

When everyone was wondering what that black and white thing was, Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help exclaiming. Don't blame him gaffes, in the 21st century, pandas were the national treasure, and only Huaxia Country owned them. Other countries could only rent them. A lot of people even called them the cutest wage earners of the country, someone thing one couldn’t buy however rich one was. Never expected…Wolf dad would send the tiny bun such a precious thing!

"Panda?”

Everyone, including Yan, couldn’t help wondering, but Ling Jingxuan didn't have time to explain to them. He went over and picked up the chubby panda, "Hehe...thank you wolf dad. I guess Xiaoling will definitely like the present you prepared for him.”

How would he not like it? Even he liked it so much! What a wonderful present!

"Howl..."

Wolf dad made two deep howls, signaling he had received his gratitude, still so cold and superior.

"Howl..."

Like being afraid of being forgotten, Dahei and Xiaohei came before him holding the fresh bamboo shoots in their mouths. On seeing bamboo shoots, the panda stretched out its paws to grab it and stuffed it into its mouth, which amused Ling Jingxuan, and he then freed a hand to touch them, “You guys also did a good job! That’s my boys!”

"Howl!”

After they moved to the side, the three curious little buns gathered around, “Daddy, what is this? So cute!”

"He is called panda, you can call him Chubby. Look. Isn’t it very cute?”

Ling Jingxuan picked up the panda and let them have a look. Looked like this one had just been weaned. Judging from its performance, one could tell it was definitely a foodie, like the small bun Ling Wu!

"Hmm, daddy, can I hold it? So cute!”

Seven little buns nodded with excitement. Ling Wu even stretched out his hands. Ling Jingxuan then stuffed Chubby into his arms. Three little buns circled around the panda and touched it carefully. Seeing that, wolf daddy left with Dahei and Xiaohei quietly. Ling Jingxuan also turned to walked to Yan Shengrui’s side, leaned in his arms and watched his little buns. However hard it would be in the future, with them around, he had infinite strength.

Yan Shengrui looked down at him, held around his waist and looked at their children. Happiness is actually very simple. It has nothing to do with money or power, as long as the whole family could live together happily.
