Chapter 1557 - 1559

Sure, here’s the translated text:

Zhan Jing waited and waited at the arrival gate, "The plane should have arrived by now."

Zhao Gang didn’t know how many times he had answered, "Yes, it’s already arrived."

"If it’s arrived, why haven’t they shown up?" Zhan Jing was truly anxious, pacing back and forth.

"Don’t get the luggage, you know it takes time for it to come out." Zhao Gang was also anxious, eager to see Pingping and the others.

No matter how many photos he had seen, seeing them in person was incomparable.

It’s said that Pingping and the others are particularly adorable, their presence filled with a milky scent, and the way they smile—it’s impossible to be cuter.

"I heard Pingping can argue with people now." Zhao Gang was all kinds of eager to see his grandson quickly.

Though he often talks with Pingping and the others on the phone, much of the information comes through Zhao Xuran.

Gong Tao hadn’t said a word the entire time, but his intense gaze on the exit made his thoughts clear.

In their anticipation, Gong Ruini and the others eventually emerged awkwardly.

"Here they come." Zhao Gang got excited seeing the large crowd.

If no one had held him back, he would’ve rushed into the airport.

"Dad, Mom." Gong Ruini was genuinely thrilled to see so many people welcoming her, waving constantly to the outside.

Gong Ruini was overwhelmed with excitement, her daughter’s return after a year and a half brought the whole family out to welcome her—it was truly touching.

Gong Ruini kept thinking about how she should express her inner joy.

While she had good thoughts, what happened next stunned her.

"Mom." Gong Ruini saw An An in her arms being taken away by Zhan Jing.

As for Pingping, it was no surprise that Gong Tao unceremoniously snatched him away.

This speed left Gong Ruini feeling a bit off.

Alright, it’s good to let them have the children, holding them is exhausting, especially after such a long flight.

Although there was no major crying on the plane, those little eyes kept turning towards her—how could Gong Ruini bear to let go? Naturally, she held her daughter.

Holding the daughter made the son unhappy, threatening to cry, and reluctantly, Gong Ruini had to hold him again—the entire flight process left Gong Ruini truly drained, wishing to throw the kids into a void to let them fuss.

It’s good to let the grandparents be happy, otherwise, they always said things like how Pingping couldn’t possibly have such ideas.

But why did they take Pingping and An An and just leave without attending to them? The contrast left Gong Ruini dumbfounded.

"Weren’t they here to pick us up?"

Gong Ruzhi saw clearly from behind; his parents’ attention was entirely on Pingping and An An, while they were just brought along for convenience.

Poor sister, there’ll be many such events; she must get used to them.

Of course, Gong Ruini noticed, not that she didn’t want to admit it, but she genuinely didn’t expect that a mere one and a half years would change her status so dramatically.

She used to be the focus.

"No worries, we can relax tonight." Once back home, they have help with the kids. It’s not that Zhao Xuran doesn’t want to take care of them at night, but with the parents around, would they give up caring for the kids?

It’s tough dealing with two kids, and the fight for caring for Pingping is uncertain.

Relax tonight? Gong Ruini thought Zhao Xuran’s expectations might be overly optimistic.

Couldn’t they? Zhao Xuran seemed puzzled, it’s impossible, "Didn’t they stay pretty well in their room?"

If they were going to cry, they would have started early.

"Those are two together." Gong Ruini felt helpless; her husband clearly had a too rosy view.

"What if you separate them? Not only Pingping but An An too would resist sleeping; these two little ones are true troublemakers."

How would separating them go? Zhao Xuran was unsure what would happen next, if it turns chaotic, it wouldn’t be a joke.

Uh, that was an issue; Zhao Xuran paused, but soon realized, "Let’s let them try it. They always talk about how well-behaved Pingping is, let them see the chaos he can cause."

Hmm, people don’t believe what he says, let them find out if his son is fooling them.

With Zhao Xuran having decided, Gong Ruini couldn’t object, and in Zhao Gang and others’ eyes, Pingping was an easy child; let them experience the power of a chaotic child.

Zhao Gang and others didn’t know the plan their son concocted; they were discussing, "How about Pingping and the others stay with us tonight?"

Gong Tao, of course, didn’t disagree, "But what about them?" He worried Zhao Xuran and others wouldn’t agree.

They had previously mentioned that they would manage the children’s education entirely, no need to involve them.

"They were talking about educating, but are we educating now?" Ah, his loyal friend, Zhao Gang admired his friend’s simplicity.

"Also, they’ve returned from the United States, they’ve flown for so long, they’re also tired."

"We’ll lessen the burden; besides, Pingping is on formula." If it weren’t for fearing Gong Tao would speak for Gong Ruini, Zhao Gang wouldn’t bother convincing him, wanting Pingping to stay with them.

"Great, let’s do it that way." Gong Tao happily agreed.

The four were excitedly talking about how they’d care for Pingping tonight, leaving Gong Ruini dumbfounded, with many bags—it’s no joke.

"Oh, really regret it." The reason Gong Ruini bought so much was expecting someone would pick them up in the country, not needing her to carry—she didn’t expect a quick turnaround.

Gong Ruzhi walked past, taking the suitcase from Gong Ruini’s hand, "There’s no need to buy so much."

Gong Ruini looked pitiful, "How was I supposed to know I’d be so unwelcome?"

Obviously, there would be people to pick them up, carefree with luggage.

"Should’ve known, in their eyes, you’re like an old cucumber nobody likes." Gong Ruzhi mercilessly retaliated the comforting words Gong Ruini had said before when he felt wronged.

Wow, this kid, Gong Ruini was angry; she consoled him kindly back then, didn’t expect him to bear grudges, waiting to retaliate.

"Never mind, without my parents’ affection, I have my husband." Instead of anger, Gong Ruini smiled.

"At least I’m better than those so-called single dogs." Not alone, not lacking someone to console me.

Really feel like quitting, didn’t expect her sister to be so wicked, so over-the-top.

Helping push luggage, but certain someone acted like they hadn’t seen, overly excessive.

But thinking of the expensive contents of the suitcase, Gong Ruzhi restrained; otherwise, paying for the items could keep him laboring for a long time.
