The Blessed

“Have you seen enough? If you see enough, go and lie down to rest.”

Finally he could not stand someone’s undisguised hot gaze, Ling Jingxuan rolled his eyes at him. An injured man should have the appearance as a patient. Who would get so horny early in the morning like him?”

“Not enough. Never enough.”

Sweeping away the imposing presence when facing the Ling family, Yan Shengrui rested his head in his hands, with the word scoundrel written on his face, with that pair of glittering tiger eyes watching Ling Jingxuan’s slim body.

“Poof… Ahem… Sorry…sorry, you go ahead and ignore me.”

Ling Jingxuan felt blank in the head, and got petrified there by his words, while Ling Jingpeng who was eating porridge there nearly choked himself to death. Heaven knows how much effort he had made to try not to laugh out loud. So what has happened after he left yesterday? Why do his big brother and that man totally change their communicating style so abruptly? Really hard to accept, right?

“Uncle, you’re silly. How could you get choked by the porridge?”

Having not noticed those adults’ ‘undercurrent’, the small bun Ling Wu covered his mouth and laughed as he saw Ling Jingpeng got choked, with that pair of black eyes filled with gloat, while Ling Wei behaved undisturbed. But anyway, he was still small, and also had no idea what those adults meant, only moving that pair of suspicious eyes around them.

“You little ungrateful thing, I was really good to you for nothing!”

Giving an angry stare at the little guy, Ling Jingpeng deliberately straightened his face. It seemed Ling Wu knew he was pretending, so instead of stopping laughing, he laughed even harder. The uncle and nephew seemed to have forgotten others’ existence.

“Later I’m afraid people from the restaurant would come. I’ll go catch fish. Jingpeng, you send the medicine for Jinghan now. Later brother Wang will send the pots for us. You check them if I don’t come back by then. As for the money, let Xiaowen keep it.”

Ling Jingxuan did not want to talk to that shameless ‘scoundrel’, so he said so as he stood up. After that things of Ling Jingwei, a few more days would be delayed about sending the buns to town for school. At least it should wait after he made that one thousand jin of jam he had promised the restaurant. Anyway, the kids were small. It wouldn’t be a problem. Besides, he could teach them himself when he had time.

“OK. Ge, you take care.”

Ling Jingpeng decisively withdrew his eyes from staring at his nephew as he heard his big brother’s ‘order’. There was still slight worried under his phoenix eyes. Until now he still remembered the way his big brother slept.

“Hmm, and you, you either go to take a rest, or watch the house for me. Remember. Take the medicine when it’s cooled.”

Nodding, Ling Jingxuan turned to Yan Shengrui. It was not that he was staying poised, but…someone is really often playing as an asshole!

“I’ll rest when you come back. Jingxuan, don’t go to too deep place. When I get better, I will do it for you. Besides, there seems to be the character RUI in my name. So call me Lingrui.”

As saying that, he directly pulled his hand. He even decided to share the same surname with him. If the royal family knows this, they’d all get mad!

“Lingseng? How about I arrange a wedding and you directly marry me?”

Hearing his temporary decision of the name, Ling Jingxuan only felt uncomfortable all over. Anyhow, he is a prince. Have some dignity, OK? Don’t those people in ancient times attach great importance to their ancestors? Even if he loses his memories, he shouldn’t just decide his surname like that!

“OK, it doesn’t matter if you marry me or I marry you, as long as the result is what we expect.”

Unexpectedly, Yan Shengrui seriously nodded to agree. Ling Jingxuan got stoned there, instantly losing the desire to complain. After quite a while, he opened his mouth and said wryly, “Shengrui! Before you regain your memories, your name is Shengrui.”

He was defeated by him. All right, he is the rascal, he calls the shots.

“Shengrui?”

Yan Shengrui’s unconsciously frowned, as his head seemed to emerge many broken pictures in his mind in a moment. However, when he tried to seize them, they all disappeared. His intuition told him that Shengrui should be his real name. And his almond-shape eyes got infected with some suspiciousness. Does Jingxuan know who he is? His relationship with him was more than what he called a one-night stand, right?

“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t know who you are, just a reasonable guess. As for the rest, you’ll know when the blood clot in tour head melts and the memory returns.”

Noticing his doubts, Ling Jingxuan helplessly said so. The name Yan Shengrui represents sovereign power and status. Before making sure his true identity, he didn’t want to speak out his assumption, in case of any unnecessary trouble. When he regained his memories, everything would be clear. But before that, he could only live as Shengrui.

“Well, from then on I am Shengrui.”

After deeply staring at him for a while, Yan Shengrui nodded, deep in the eyes hidden some imperceptible solemnness. Yeah, it’s true he had lost his memories, but not intellectual deterioration. Even if Ling Jingxuan didn’t tell him now, he already doubted it in the heart. But after a few days’ observation, he found that he had superb kungfu, ordinary people were not his match at all. But the fact is he fell in a coma after getting wounded by a she-wolf. There should be something behind it. So before he remembered anything, he wanted to stay low, because he didn’t want Jingxuan and the kids to worry about him.

“I’m going out. You take care of the kids.”

Speaking of which, Ling Jingxuan stretched out a hand to touch the kids’ heads and then left the central room. Leave those unknown things to the future. All in all, roll with the punches. No big deal!

“Brother Rui, I’m gonna send the medicine for my second elder brother.”

Looks like his big brother had accepted this man. Of course Ling Jingpeng felt happy for them. After all, he is the biological father of the two kids, right? Besides, after seeing how he cared about his big brother with his own eyes, he sincerely wished they could be together. So he called ‘brother Rui’ really naturally.

“Hmm. Any news from town?”

After withdrawing his eyes from Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui asked, while taking up that bowl of herbs and drank it off. He must get recovered as soon as possible. He didn’t want to see the scene of Jingxuan like yesterday.”

“No, but yesterday afternoon there seemed to be a messenger sending news, and today my big uncle and aunt went to town before dawn.”

Ling Jing who was about to leave stopped where he was, sword-shape eyebrows slightly wrinkled. He even felt awful on mentioning those from Ling family!

“I know. You can go. Let mom come here if she has nothing do to. She is pregnant. She can’t do some rough work.”

He called ‘mom’ so smoothly and naturally. After last night, Yan Shengrui already took himself as a member of this family from deep of his heart.

“Oh, I know.”

After sending Ling Jingpeng away, Yan Shengrui cleaned the table and put away the bowls and chopsticks with the sensible small bun. When they were going to the backyard to practice boxing, Yan Shengrui suddenly grabbed their hands and said earnestly, “Jingxuan has promised to let me stay. I don’t know why I abandoned you, but I swear I will always stay with you this time. Xiaowen, Xiaowu, you are both good kids, can you give me this chance?”

In front of his sons, as a father, he had no authority at all, but who cares? He only wanted a result.

“Really?! Great! Then I’ll have a father too! No one would say I am a bastard anymore!”

The response of the small bun was most simple and direct. Almost before his voice fell, he jumped over and held his neck. He likes daddy, and also father. From deep of his heart, he wished that the four of them could live together happily.

“I’m sorry. It was my bad.”

Touching him on the head, Yan Shengrui couldn’t help having tears in his eyes, although it was already not the first time he heard him say such words.

“I only want daddy to be happy. You can’t make daddy sad, or we will leave you forever.”

‘Hmm, I swear I’ll never abandon you again!”

Facing his son’s stubborn eyes, Yan Shengrui raised his hand and made the promise.

“Father…”

Ling Wen could no longer take it. He threw himself into his arms and started to sob. Finally their family is complete!
