Chapter 218 - LEAVING B CITY (1/2)

”YAN YAN, are you really going to leave today?” Bai Ye asked, holding Luo Yan's hand. His big eyes were already starting to be filled with tears, his expression was clearly saying 'don't leave'.

They were at the living room of the Bai household, saying their goodbyes. Because today was the day that the Luo family would go back to S City. Everyone was there, except for the head of the family – Bai Zhen.

Luo Yan bent down a little and put his hand on Bai Ye's cheek. ”Yes, we need to because Ah Jin and I have school tomorrow. Dad and Brother also have to work. We also wanted to stay here more but we still have to fulfill our responsibilities. Xiao Ye understands, right?”

Bai Ye pouted but still nodded in agreement. ”I understand.”

Bai Ze, standing on the side, raised one of his brows. And here he thought this brat would definitely make a ruckus because Luo Yan would leave today. He was already expecting shouting and bouts of tears. But who would have thought that this kid would be so calm today?

”But Yan Yan, don't forget your promise, okay?” Bai Ye added.

Luo Yan smiled. ”Of course, I won't forget to call you every Saturdays.”

Ah, so that's why. Bai Ze thought. Luo Yan already made a compromise that's why the kid was not acting out. He put his hand on top of his little brother's head and ruffled his hair. ”Try not to take too much of Xiao Yan's time. I know how you could ramble on and on about useless things.”

Bai Ye frowned at his brother. ”Brother, I don't ramble about useless things. How could you say that?”

”Brother Ze is right. You should only talk to Yan for about 10 minutes. That should be enough,” Luo Jin said with a bit of teasing in his voice.

”Yes, I think that's very reasonable,” Bai Ze agreed.

Bai Ye's eyes were filled again with tears when he heard what Luo Jin said. ”What can I talk to Yan Yan for 10 minutes?” He rushed to Luo Yan and hugged his thigh. ”Yan Yan, they're bullying me.”

”Don't mind them,” Luo Yan appeased. ”Xiao Ye can talk to me for as long as you wanted. But if I have to cut the call short or if I'm unable to receive your call on certain Saturdays, you have to promise Brother Yan that you won't sulk or throw a tantrum. Okay?”

Bai Ye seemed to think about it and although looking very unwilling, he still nodded at the end. ”Okay.”

The a.d.u.l.ts who were watching this interaction all laughed and smiled.

”In just a short period of time, Xiao Yan already knows how to handle Xiao Ye,” Bai Chen said. ”A huge feat if you asked me.”

”It just shows how sensitive Xiao Yan is to other people's emotions. He's very similar to Mei Hua in that way,” Sun Xiulan said.

Luo Wei Tian couldn't agree more. And maybe that's why Luo Yan had them all wrap up in those little fingers of his. Not that any of them mind of course.

”By the way, is it really okay not to wait for Father-in-law to wake up?” he asked after a while.

They had to leave soon so they wouldn't be late for their flight. But leaving without saying goodbye to his father-in-law just didn't sit well with him.

”It's okay. It would just be harder for you to leave if Dad is present,” Bai Chen said.

Luo Wei Tian understood what Bai Chen was saying. Considering how attach his father-in-law had been to Luo Yan, he might have a breakdown if he found out that they would be leaving today. Which might even affect his already weak body. And he didn't want that to happen.

”But it might have no difference when he woke up and find that Luo Yan was no longer here,” he said.
