Chapter 582 — A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain (Part 2)
Years of Heartflutter · Page 1 of 2
Back then, Yang Ce had not understood his father's feelings. He had thought his father was watching him from the balcony to keep an eye on him, afraid he would skip class and not go to school. But now, Yang Ce understood his father's feelings!
It was his father's care and love for him! He had watched him grow up step by step, while he himself edged bit by bit toward old age... and that process had gone on for six or seven years, until Yang Ce graduated from high school and was smoothly admitted to university...
Looking back suddenly, remembering the earnest gaze in his father's eyes back then, Yang Ce's tears burst forth in that instant...
Memory always fills one with sweetness and bitterness, with sorrow and joy! When he saw his father's earnest gaze once more, Yang Ce clenched his fist. This time, he must return safely—not for anything else, but for his father's hopes for him!
Yang Ce waved to his father: "Dad, go on back in..."
"Get in the car. Let me look at you a little longer..." Yang Cheyan smiled and waved back at his son.
This scene had repeated itself thousands of times. The Yang Ce of before had always impatiently urged his father to go back inside, or else pretended not to see and pedaled off in a sulk. But in this moment, Yang Ce felt a warm happiness!
That was someone who truly cared for him and cherished him!
Yang Ce gave a faint sigh, took Lan Ling by the hand, got into the car, and slowly drove out of the residential compound.
And on the balcony, Yang Cheyan wore a face full of gratified smiles! Watching his son finally become a person useful to society, he felt happy!
"Old Yang, what are you still looking at? Doesn't Daming dislike it when you're always spying on him from the balcony?" Mother Yang was mopping the floor. Seeing Yang Cheyan standing on the balcony, she shouted at him.
"Heh heh," Yang Cheyan only smiled faintly. "Our son is all grown up now—how could he still dislike it? In the blink of an eye, I finally don't have to worry about the boy anymore!"
"That's right, Daming really has grown up. What I'm thinking about now is, when will I get to hold a grandchild?" Mother Yang smiled wistfully. "People say only children are no good these days—the children they have have no companions, not even cousins. But our family is different! When the time comes, we'll have a whole brood of grandchildren, and with so many brothers and sisters, they could field a soccer team!"
"Heh heh, that would be just fine. I'll open a kindergarten myself and be the principal myself. I won't be this miserable chairman anymore, so I won't fall into any more femme-fatale traps!" Yang Cheyan said from the bottom of his heart.
"The principal is me. You can be the vice principal at most!" Mother Yang waved a hand dismissively.
"Haha, fine, I'll be the vice principal!" Yang Cheyan laughed too.
On the road, Yang Ce drove with Lan Ling beside him, his heart anything but light.
"Yang Ce, what's wrong?" Lan Ling sensed something was off with Yang Ce too, and asked cautiously.
"We leave tomorrow, and I'm a little uneasy about my parents... I don't know what year or month I'll come back again, or whether I'll be able to come back at all..." Yang Ce said with a sigh.
Lan Ling reached over and gripped Yang Ce's right hand, the one not on the steering wheel, and said: "The Right Elder may be formidable, but I believe that with all of us working as one, we can definitely defeat him!"
"Heh heh, yes, I should have confidence!" Yang Ce nodded and said.
"At least you still have parents to miss... but I..." Lan Ling sighed.
Yang Ce suddenly thought of Lan Ling's tragic past. Indeed, Lan Ling was more pitiable than he was! She had lost her mother as a child, and though she had a father, he was as good as none—her father had sold her to the *** center. A father like that was better off forgotten.
"My parents will be your parents from now on too," Yang Ce said with a sigh.
