"knock knock""young miss ? young miss?" the servant called from outside the door. Hearing the noise coming from outside Bai lu woke up from her sleep. After she opened her eyes she saw no one was there besides her so she thought Ai yun might have woke up earlier than her and went to her grandparents.
"come in" Bai lu called the servant inside the bedroom.
After servant entered Bai lu asked "what happened?"
"young miss...sir and madam is calling you downstairs for dinner" the servant answered respectfully.
"you go and tell them i am coming ten minutes"
"ok young miss". After the servant left, Bai went to bathroom....washed her face and went downstairs. When she reached the downstairs she heard laughter coming from hall room. So she went to towards them.... she saw her daughter sitting on her fathers lap with her mom besides them sitting on the sofa ....watching something on TV and burst into laughter time to time.
she is glad that her daughter is happy here.....its not that she was unhappy there ....its just she was lonely in that place where they use to stay with just two of them.
"what are you guys watching that made you so happy?" Bai lu asked as she went to join them on sofa .
"nothing much....its a new comedy show.....its so funny....haha" madam Bai said with a chuckle as she watched the TV.
"oh...." Bai lu looked at her father who is enjoying his time with his granddaughter as he watched the show playing on TV. "dad ....why are you early at home today?....didn't you go to office today ?"
"oh ....i took a day off today.....because both of you were coming back and my little princess came for the first time here.....so how can i go to office today..." master Bai said with a happy smile.
"and you know na.....you don't have to do this...."
"it's ok let him ....he was rarely happy after you left 4 years ago...let him do whatever he want " madam bai said hearing her daughter. Bai lu felt guilty hearing her mom but she had no other choice back then.
"lets go have dinner now...you must be hungry since you didn't eat anything after coming back" Madam bai said while looking at her daughter.
"yayyy....lets go" both granddaughter and grandfather pair cheered excitedly.
Bai lu is speechless to her father this childish....its not that he wasn't before....he was but not this much....she thought in her mind ' who would say that this person is the leader of a powerful and mysterious family ' ...as she thought she shook her head .
After dinner....Bai lu said to yun "yun lets go ....you have to change and sleep now....its already late today"
"mama its not late yet ...its just 9 pm and also i am not sleepy"
"its not good to be awake late at night .....otherwise you won't be able to adjust to time differences here....lets go baby"
" but mama i want to stay little more with grandma and grandpa....please please " Ai yun pleaded hoping her mom would agree to her.
"no....you have to go now...you can spend time tomorrow....they are not going anywhere and also we are staying here only...no one is running away.."
Seeing her mother not agreeing to her....she looked at her grandparents hoping they would say something.
" there is no use of you looking at me like this cutely....i wont fall for that....you have to listen to your mom" madam bai said ...mercilessly rejecting her pleading. Although she wanted to say something seeing her like this but she didn't as she knew it will become a bad habit.
hearing her grandma rejected her ...she looked at her grandpa ...who will definitely help her..."grandpaaa"
"lulu ...let her stay little more ...she wil..." before he could complete his sentence....he heard his wife scolding him "you are spoiling her too much ....you know its not good to agree to her with everything she asks....." then she looked at her daughter and asked " lulu take her upstairs....don't listen to your father....he becomes weak whenever he is with his granddaughter....". Although she also love her granddaughter but doesn't mean she will agree to anything she asks which maybe not good for her.
Bai lu looked at her daughter "have you tried enough?....now lets go"
As they prepared to leave for their room....master bai said with serious tone than earlier "lulu ....come downstairs after putting her to sleep ...we have something to ask you ...we will be waiting here".
"ok dad" bai lu said as she thought what her parents wants to ask her while going towards their bedroom.
After putting Ai yun to sleep, Bai lu came downstairs and sat on one sitter sofa while her parents on the large sofa.
"about what you guys wanted to ask?" Bai lu asked while looking at her parents face.
"when are you joining university?" her father asked her.
"In 10 days new semester will start for freshers, so i will be joining soon". Bai lu answered
"hmmm....we know you are very mature for your age....you are good at what you do...." before madam bai could continue bai lu interrupted her " mom ...just say what you want to say no need to circle with words "
"so i will ask directly" her mom said while looking at her complicatedly.
"please do "
