As their Grandpa said that he was going to tell them a story, the girls turned a bit excited but still pursed their lips as the three of them looked at the entrance with downcast looks on their faces.
Seeing the girl's faces who obviously were eager to see Ye Qian and Yuan Meng return, Ye Xiao sighed in his heart as he also took a glance at Grandma Yan who also had her gaze fixed upon the entrance.
Although she didn't make it look as obvious, but how could he not know what his wife was thinking about right now?
All these years, there had been little to no hope for their son to come back.
In fact, the two of them already had thought that they could never see their son again and were only living in the hope of their daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
But just a week ago when the two of them had a deep desire to see their grandchild and also persuade their daughter-in-law to come along with them, they were almost petrified to find a surprise to appear in front of them.
It was their son whom they had completely lost any kind of hope of being able to see after.
After these 5 years, he was standing right in front of them.
At that time it would not be wrong to say that the world had started to spin for them.
After all these years of not finding their son or any kind of information related to him, they had choked even a bare thought of him being alive somewhere in this world.
But all of a sudden he stood right in front of them.
Although being a father he could not express the sheer joy that he felt after seeing his son being alive, he knew that he could not show it on his face.
Unlike his wife, he knew that he could not cry and hug his son, but he was contended knowing that his son was still in good health and nothing bad had happened to him at all.
In fact, he could not be a bit shocked to see that his body looked much healthier than what he was like before when he had last seen him.
Being his parents how could they not sense that there was something different in their son, but also nothing was different within him?
This contradictory thought made them quite confused.
But there was a visible change which they could surely not deny which they could see in their son.
Which was the change in his height.
According to them, he was not any less than half a palm taller than he was before.
This greatly made them be taken aback since it was common knowledge that height growth would be greatly hindered after one turned more than 20.
And for Ye Qian who was already in his 30s growing so tall, all of a sudden was truly quite a shock for them.
Of course, that didn't cause them much of a change since they were overjoyed with him being in front of them.
But no matter what, even if she knew that her son was alive and staying right in front of her, the motherly heart of Grandma Yan could not help but b worried about the inconspicuous feeling which rose in her chest.
Ye Xiao sighed in his heart as he looked at his wife who had her gaze fixed upon the entrance and she could not even hear the calls of their granddaughters in her worry about their son and daughter-in-law.
He knew that right now, no matter what he said, the worry in Grandam Yan's mind would not lessen, so it was better to let her wait while he distracted the little girls.
A wide smile crept on Ye Xiao's face as he laughed out while calling.
"Ohh, is it that this old man's stories are not good?"
"Ahh, no no, how can that be, Qiqi remember when Qiqi was small Grandpa would always tell Qiqi so many stories, and Qiqi would always sleep in Grandpa's arms."
Hearing their Grandpa's words, Little Qiqi's brows raised high as she shook her head.
In fact, just a few days ago when Grandpa Xiao had told them a story something similar had happened.
And the little girl remembered that every time she heard stories from her Grandpa she would always sleep quickly and her Mumma would often tease her.
Of course, after coming to the city, the little girl had missed her Grandpa's stories and also slept in his arms.
For her, Grandpa was more like a fatherly figure all these years since she didn't have her Papa.
The little girl had always thought that her Papa would also be the same as her Grandpa.
And indeed her Papa was so much like her Grandpa.
He was so good and would always tell her stories and love her so much.
Although her Grandpa didn't know how to make food, but her Papa made such tasty food that she even thought that even her Mumma could not make food as tasty as him.
As for Little Jia and Xiao Ya, both of them shook their heads with great vigour and said while nodding.
"Grandpa's stories are very good, we all slept so easily when last time Grandpa told us a story."
"Hmm hmm."
Little Jia said while Xiao Ya nodded her head in deep agreement.
"Haha, alright, today this Old man will tell you a very good story, since you are already so sleepy then I think we will need to continue this story tomorrow as well."
Ye Xiao laughed as he patted the heads of the three girls while picking up Xiao Ya while the two girls followed while holding the hem of his shirt.
"Grandpa, why Grandma looks worried?"
While they were about to enter Ye Qian and Yuan Meng's room where the girls would sleep, Little Jia asked while pointing her tiny finger.
Ye Xiao looked at Grandma Yan's back and let out a sigh.
