Chapter 1221: TangNing Noisy (1/2)

Chapter 1221: [TangNing] Noisy

As soon as little Rui’er ran outside, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye chased after him. Outside, they heard a little girl giggling and the sound of flying darts. Xu Donglin had set up guard in this teahouse so it was unlikely he wouldn’t have reported a disturbance.

What’s going on?

Little Rui’er simply stood ahead of them, seemingly very sensitive to the sound of the little girl’s laughter. Typically speaking, he was at an age where he should be making friends. But little Rui’er was different. He not only disliked playing with children of the same age, but especially detested playing with girls. Han Yunxi recalled when Rui’er had first learned to walk, a few madames had brought their granddaughters and daughters to the palace to visit. No matter whether they were babies, toddlers, or slightly older girls, he avoided them all.

Little Rui’er only liked playing with adults. If he wasn’t clinging to his mother, then it was with Xu Donglin and the rest. Whenever he visited Gu Beiyue, he always grabbed Lil Thing by the ear and used all his strength to throw it out the window before pestering Gu Beiyue to spend time with him.

After standing for awhile, little Rui’er ran out of the courtyard and to a walkway on the right. Han Yunxi and Long Feiye naturally followed, but they soon saw Manager Wu standing with his hands covered in darts and blood on his face. He yelled for help as he ran towards them.

Little Rui’er was exceptionally calm! He didn’t even glance at Manager Wu as the man ran past, but simply keep running ahead. He seemed to be curious and unhappy, his eyebrows creased. Despite his young age, his brows had a heroic slant that made people aware he was no ordinary child.

Long Feiye was even more curious upon seeing the weapons embedded in Manager Wu’s hands. He stopped chasing after Rui’er, causing Han Yunxi to pause and study the manager as well. They could recognize it as Tang Clan weapons at a glance! No wonder Xu Donglin hadn’t moved to act. But when did the Tang Clan start acting against the teahouse’s people?

Even if they did, with the shadow guards here, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi didn’t worry about Rui’er. The two of them were in no rush to catch up to their son.

Lil Rui’er ran very fast and soon appeared on the “scene of the crime.” Tang Li had just finished knocking two pageboys to the ground and Tang Tang was clapping and praising him while laughing out loud. She was a noisy child and the teahouse extremely quiet, so her endless giggles seemed even louder than usual. There was an irresistible charm to her voice.

Abruptly, little Tang Tang stopped laughing, while Tang Li and Ning Jing gave a start.

They saw a little child. He looked to be about a year and a half old[1] and was nearly as tall as little Tang Tang. He stood in the walkway and treated the pageboys as air, seeming completely fearless. Both of his hands were clasped behind his back as he looked up at them. His eyes were even prettier than little Tang Tang’s, the pupils dark and deep. His eyelashes were long and dense. His ignorant yet icy gaze couldn’t help making one adore him even as they wanted to laugh at him.

This child…

“Rui’er?” Ning Jing blurted out.

When they first met little Rui’er, he was only a newborn who knew how to cry or laugh! A child grew quickly in the first year of his life, changing his features greatly. This was a vast difference from the baby Rui’er they met before, but Ning Jing still recognized him at a glance.

Tang Li had no memory of the past, but he couldn’t help but ask, “You’re Xuanyuan Rui?” This child was too similar to his big brother, especially those heroic brows.

“Rui’er? Why are you here?” Ning Jing grew curious.

Little Rui’er didn’t know them at all. Currently, he had ignored Tang Li and Ning Jing completely to focus on little Tang Tang. She had long noticed this little brother’s staring and loomed at him from above in her daddy’s arms. Gradually, her face stiffened because she could sense his gaze was unkind!

Who is he?

What’s he doing here?

“Rui’er, are you Rui’er? Where’s your father and mother?” Ning Jing asked as she approached him.

“Mother!” Little Rui’er cried out, refusing to let her go.

“Tang Tang, this is Rui’er, a little brother,” Ning Jing hastily explained.

Rui’er only glanced at Ning Jing before ignoring her as before. Ning Jing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It’s no wonder he’s Long Feiye’s son. That ice-cold, aloof attitude is a carbon copy of his personality.

If he already gave off such an air when he was young, then who could imagine what he’d be like in the future? Still, Ning Jing walked forward and knelt down--only for little Rui’er to back away expressionlessly without a word.

“Heh!” Tang Li set down little Tang Tang and laughed out loud. “It’s my big brother’s seed, no doubt! Hahah, my big brother was just like him when he was little!”

Tang Li naturally couldn’t recall what Long Feiye was like at one, but he remember his personality at five years old. The young Long Feiye always avoided others and hated people getting close to him. When he grew older, he stopped backing away because others would naturally keep their distance from him.
