Chapter 251 - 249. Trials Are Nonsense!!

Third-person POV

Xue Lang sleepily opened his eyes as his empty stomach grumbled. He slowly sat up while rubbing his eyes to clear his vision. He smelled a very fragrant scent that caused his stomach to grumble even more.

"Wake up?" A deep voice sounded out.

"En," Xue Lang nodded his head.

Xu Tingfeng chuckled as ruffled Xue Lang's messy hair, "Come and eat your dinner. Your stomach is so loud. Hahaha~"

Xue Lang blushed and hid his face with the blanket. As a prince, he felt it was very shameful for him to let out such an embarrassing sound.

"Do you sleep well?" A slender hand placed on top of his hands that were covering his face.

Xue Lang whipped his head side to see Bai Huiqing smiling at him, "Grandma! You woke up?!"

"En, thanks to you." Bai Huiqing caressed Xue Lang's hand.

"Why you don't wake me up? Do you need anything? I will grab it for you." Xue Lang excitedly asked.

"No, rather than that, why don't you eat your dinner. Grandpa said is true, your stomach growling was so loud that it woke me up from my coma. Hahaha~" Bai Huiqing jokingly said.

"See?! Grandpa never lies to you, kid!" Xu Tingfeng exclaimed from the other side of the room.

Xue Lang's pale face once again turned red like a boiled octopus. He timidly nodded his head and got out of the bed to appease his raging stomach. He sat beside Xu Tingfeng and took his chopstick. His hand froze as he remembered the manner of letting the elder ones to take the first bite and then followed by the younger ones.

"Grandma?" Xue Lang asked with an innocent expression on his face.

"She ate her dinner when you were asleep. Don't worry, enjoy your meal. Oh, this is delicious." Xu Tingfeng placed a few slices of savory meats on top of Xue Lang's rice then he grabbed two slices and shoved it into his own mouth.

Xue Lang stared at Xu Tingfeg in amus.e.m.e.nt and ate his meal without a sound. After Xue Lang finished his meal, he chatted with Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing for quite a while until his personal servants came to pick him up as it had reached his bedtime.

Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing reluctantly send Xue Lang off as they had a great time talking to him. Xue Lang inherited Hong er's tranquil yet cheerful demeanor. Bai Huiqing leaned on Xu Tingfeng's chest to listen to his strong heartbeat. By just listening to Xu Tingfeng's heartbeat, it strangely made he feel secure and calm.

"Want to go see our other grandkids?" Xu Tingfeng intertwined his hand with her hand.

"Eh?" Bai Huiqing widened her eyes in shock.

"Ah, I forgot that you don't know about this." Xu Tingfeng knocked his head with his own fist.

Bai Huiqing lost her consciousness before the news about Hong er gave birth to the twins spread around which was not weird if she didn't have any idea that Hong er gave birth at the same time she collapsed.

"Basically, we have two grandkids. They are twin, one of them is a boy, his name is Zhang Wei. And the second born is a girl, her name is Rong Ai. I hate to admit it but that kiddo is good at giving name." Xu Tingfeng sulked.

Bai Huiqing gave him a weak smile and patted his large hand, "I hope they grow up well. Hong er…why does our daughter has to go through all that pain?"

The expression on Bai Huiqing's face turned black as ink. The time Xu Tingfeng told her about Hong er's condition, the wound in her eyes that almost healed, bleed out again and caused Xu Tingfeng to freak out.

Is it because she is Goddess Sheng Jie's incarnation? What did she do wrong to receive this suffering? They only want a happy love life…" Bai Huiqing said with a pure grudge towards the Creator.

It was only a deduction but she strongly believed that Hong er was Sheng Jie's incarnation. Without saying, she was happy to know that she had such a blessed daughter but at the same time, she was worried about Hong er.

In many legends and talks, the human Sheng Jie had to carry out the trial the day that Sheng Jie was born into the human world which explained the kidnapping when Hong er just born into the world.

"Does my daughter has to suffer until the day she dies? Trials, trials, TRIALS! All of that is just nonsense! The Creator only wants to watch someone suffer under his hand! *Cough cough cough!" Bai Huiqing coughed up a tiny bit of blood.

Xu Tingfeng quickly patted her back to soothe her anger, he afraid that Bai Huiqing wouldn't be able to recover at this rate if she kept getting angry over the fate that befell on the Heavenly Pair.

"Don't push yourself, the wound will re-open again. If both Hong er and Weisheng truly are Sheng Jie and Hei An's incarnation, I am sure that they will get through all of these. Have a faith on them while we are there doing our best to support them." Xu Tingfeng gently spoke beside Bai Huiqing's ear.

Bai Huiqing breathed heavily as the anger in her heart hadn't dissipated entirely, she took a deep breath and exhaled. What Xu Tingfeng said was right, if it was truly Hong er's fate then they could do nothing to change that. But they could at least help them with their most.

"En, I want to rest." Bai Huiqing frowned and pressed her forehead with her fingers as the pain in her head was unbearable for her current state.

"I will take you to bed. Tomorrow we will relieve ourselves by looking at our cute grandkids, kay?" Xu Tingfeng talked sweetly at Bai Huiqing to lift her mood up.

"En," Bai Huiqing shut her eyelids as she fell into a deep sleep.

"Wahh~ They are so cute~" Xu Tingfeng cooed at the tiny baby in his and Bai Huiqing's arms.

"They truly are. They are still young, we don't know who they will look like." Bai Huiqing gently booped Rong Ai's little nose.

Xu Tingfeng kissed Zhang Wei's cheeks till ZhangWei wailed in discomfort. Bai Huiqing shot a warning glare to Xu Tingfeng telling him to stop bothering the babies. Xu Tingfeng laughed sheepishly and continued to stare at Zhang Wei with loving eyes.

He couldn't maintain his excitement as he never seen a baby version of Hong er before, not even a glimpse. 

"They are cute right?!" Xue Lang chimed from the side.

"Hella cute! Look at their eyes! They got the blessing from both ancestors." Xu Tingfeng spun the rattle drum in his hand to cheer Zhang Wei up.

Bai Huiqing stared blankly at the excited Xu Tingfeng and a pang of guilt hit her heart, 'I am sorry. I am not the best mother for Hong er. If only I struggled more at that time, maybe you can play with Hong er every day.'

Xu Tingfeng lifted his head to look at Bai Huiqing as he felt someone had been staring at him for quite a while. He saw Bai Huiqing staring at him with forlorn eyes

"What's wrong?" Xu Tingfeng asked her with a wide smile.

Bai Huiqing shook her head and smiled weakly, "Nothing, just reminisced some memories. When will we go back to Xi An?"

"After you healed and Shang Tang came back. Why are you asking? Do you miss home?" Xu Tingfeng asked with a visible worry on his face.

"En, a little bit." Bai Huiqing nodded her head.

Then she noticed Xue Lang who had gotten quiet, "Xue Lang can visit Grandpa and Grandma at any time. You can play in our house if you did like to."

Xue Lang's face brightened up as he vigorously nodded his head, "En!"
