Chapter 1087 – Earnest Desire In His Old Heart.
As the relatives were talking among themselves soon Feng Yu Hao and Zhen Qinrou strolled inside the hall with their arms hooked together. Behind them, the butler of the main mansion followed as well to see the necessities of his Master.
As they walked, all the relatives stood in respect to welcome them. While Feng Yu Hao plainly gave a nod of appreciation to all of them, Zhen Qinrou tried her best to give her best elegant smile to everybody. But in their gazes, she could clearly see them comparing her again with the face of Yun Yuchun they had in their memories.
The thought of the lady was enough to ruin her mood, but she was still there holding her best to not let her internal feeling appear on her face.
"Is there a problem?" Walking by her side, Feng Yu Hao didn't fail to notice the slight change in her demeanor, so he asked. But giving a pretentious smile to him, Zhen Qinrou easily denied it.
"With you beside me what could happen, honey? I am fine. It's just that I am not seeing any of our children here, so was searching for them."
She said and patting over her hand, Feng Yu Han assured to say, "It's okay. The day has just begun. They would be coming soon. First, come and take your seat. You are my wife; people must be waiting to talk to you." He said and his words like that soured the woman's mood more from inside.
Yes, she was his wife. Not the matriarch of this big family. How could she forget that her husband never gave her the title of matriarch even after getting married for so many years?
Zhen Qinrou's face turned ugly remembering the sole pain of her heart. But she was quick to compose herself back before anyone could see her like that. Putting on her fake smile, she nodded before walking to take the seat just next to the man.
As they sat, many came to greet one after the other but after just a few words they would again leave to wander back to their divided groups to talk about the day.
"Qinrou, these relatives called for this sudden gathering, what do you think could be their plan?" Though earlier when asked Feng Yu Hao agreed to set this gathering on the call of his third brother. He was not sure of the motive yet. And now seeing them having secret talks among themselves wasn't giving him the right feeling.
Zhen Qinrou looked at others and smiled. Her smile was for once coming out genuine but her words that came next in response did not support that genuineness. "What plan could it be, honey? Didn't Feng De Zhong say that this is gathering is just to boost our relationships? It must be the same. There couldn't be anything else. Furthermore, among family, what could happen? Don't stress out too much about things. It would be good."
She said before reaching out to pat his hands. But in her eyes, it was all written. She was not unaware of the things that were going to happen here later.
Feng Yu Hao felt something in her gaze and getting confused he was about to ask her. But just before he could begin a voice interrupted from the front.
"Greetings to my handsome Lǎoyé!" The cheerful voice greeted and it instantly garnered all the attention from around. People turned to look at the young boy, who came running in with great speed.
Feng Yu Hao turned to look and the sight of his young grandson was enough to lift his expression. "Aye, Chen Chen is here to greet me. Come, come, let me see how tall you grew." He said and the boy of young age ran up on his call.
"Not enough, Lǎoyé. Elder brother Yujian is still taller than me." The young boy complained before gesturing to his grandfather to look forward at the entrance from where Chen Yujian was making his way inside with Feng Yi Ran.
Feng Yu Hao laughed lightly as shaking his head, he first coaxed his young grandson. "Aye, that's for your Elder brother is eight years elder than you. You will also grow as tall as him when you reach his age." He said and at his say, the young boy just shook his head.
"Nope, Lǎoyé. I don't want to grow as tall as him. But I want to grow tall like my uncle. So that when I open my own company, I could have a strong aura like him along with success and no one can talk back at me." He said and his words, almost turned everyone silent, embarrassing them from inside.
But hearing the young one talk like that, Feng Yu Hao only laughed. "Fine, fine, you would grow tall and successful as your uncle. Is it fine now?" He asked and jovially, Feng Yuchen nodded.
"Dad! Ma! Hope I am not late." Feng Yi Ran greeted as she came to stand in front of her father. Then turning to her son, she added in a bit of fun tone. "You are talking like this here, Yuchen, let me see if you remain the same when your uncle appears later. I hope at that time you don't come to hide behind me."
And at her say like that, the young boy was at once embarrassed. "Ma, I am not scared of Uncle. It's just I am still very young and can't have the capacity to endure Uncle's great aura. I respect him. Don't worry, I will be better when I grow more." Fiddling his hair at the back of his neck, Chen Yuchen said before coming back to stand beside his brother.
Chen Yujian looked at his grandfather and greeted him as well. "Lǎoyé, it has been long. How are you?"
Feng Yu Hao nodded to his eldest grandson. "Definitely, it's a long time since I last saw you. I am thankful for this gathering that it brought an opportunity to gather everyone here. You are here, come and sit beside me." He said, sizing out the young man from head to toe with pride written over his face.
Like any other grandfather, Feng Yu hao has also liked to stay around his children. So now that he was seeing everyone coming under the same roof, he was finding it more and more pleasing in his heart. He no longer wanted to know with what aim the relatives had kept the gathering. Until he was around his children and grandchildren, he was satisfied.
The only loss that he might feel today was of the granddaughter, whom he had last seen a month back. Only if Shufen could bring her here today, how nice it would be …
There was an earnest desire in his old heart, but he was not sure if it would be fulfilled or not.
