When Huo Yunshen appeared, everyone saw the little girl sitting on his lap. They were all very shocked.
So it’s true that young master Yunshen has a child!
The child really resembles young master Yunshen when he was still a child.
Huo Yunshen went straight to the Moxiang Residence with Ying Bao and met with a servant who had just come out of the residence with a tray of his grandfather’s medicine.
The servant was stunned to see Huo Yunshen and Ying Bao. After recollecting his wits, a look of pleasant surprise quickly appeared on his face.
Young master Yunshen has really brought his child back. How wonderful! Now there will be someone who is able to convince the stubborn family elder.
“Young Master Yunshen, you’re back just in time. The family elder refused to take his medicine,” the servant explained.
Huo Yunshen took the tray from the servant and said, “Okay, just leave it to me. You may go on with your business.”
After the servant left him deferentially, Huo Yunshen wheeled himself into his grandfather’s residence and placed the tray on the table.
The old man was lying on his bed with his back facing the door. He did not realize that his grandson had returned and thought that it was a servant who had come into his room again. He barked an order. “I said I don’t want the medicine, get out!”
“Grandpa, why are you flaring your temper about again?” Huo Yunshen asked calmly.
Huo Yunshen’s voice sent a jolt down Huo Xun’s back. Huo Xun perked up an ear and asked, “Is that you, Yunshen?”
“Yes, Grandpa, it’s me.”
To set his grandfather’s mind at ease, Huo Yunshen promptly told him the good news about his father waking up. “Grandpa, I have good news. Dad has woken up.”
The elderly man finally turned over and sat up. “Really?” he asked, astonished.
“Yes, he has just woken up today. The doctor said that it is a miracle that he was able to wake up.”
“Oh! Thank the heavens for this blessing!”
Upon hearing the good news, Huo Xun immediately let out a long sigh of relief and began to look different in spirit.
At the same time, when he turned his head to see his grandson’s face, he saw a child in his arms.
The little girl was fair-skinned and doll-like. She looked just as cute as the charming and naïve looking porcelain doll which the temple usually gives away as a blessing for conceiving a child.
His grandson had really brought back a child. His servant had not lied to him.
Huo Xun stared at Ying Bao for a long moment. He could not believe his eyes. “This… this child…”
She looked exactly the same as Yunshen when he was still a child.
Huo Yunshen stroked Ying Bao on her head and said, “Cherry, go greet Great-Grandpa.”
Ying Bao saw the old man who was just as old as her mother’s grandfather and immediately knew who he was—he was her daddy’s Grandpa.
“Great-Grandpa,” Ying Bao greeted her great-grandfather obediently.
As soon the little girl called him “Great-Grandpa,” Huo Xun was at a loss for what to feel. His heart was in turmoil.
He had lived so long and was almost at the end of his life before finally seeing the day when four generations of the Huo family came together.
Perhaps Ying Bao looked too much like Huo Yunshen when he was still a child. If his grandson said that she was his daughter, the old man would not doubt it at all.
Especially that pair of dimples. They were unmistakably the genuine mark of his grandson’s genes.
“Oh! Good… good, good…”
Tears of joy flowed from Huo Xun’s aged eyes. He sat up and beckoned to the child, “Come here, let Great-Grandpa take a good look at you.”
Ying Bao slid down from Huo Yunshen’s lap and walked over obediently, blinking her big, dark eyes as she came to his bed.
Huo Xun looked at the child intently and carefully. The more he looked at her, the more confident he felt that this child was one of the Huo family blood.
“I’ve never thought that I would be able to see my great-granddaughter in this lifetime before I pass. I can die happy now,” Huo Xun sighed.
“Grandpa, you’ll be fine. Don’t say such ominous words,” Huo Yunshen said.
At this moment, Ying Bao suddenly chimed in, “You won’t die, Great-Grandpa. Great-Grandpa will live to two hundred years old.”
“Oh? Can Great-Grandpa really live to two hundred?”
