My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 8: Eight, Peace Pendant Chapter 8: Eight, Peace Pendant Song Yan Ning looked at the ginseng in Yang Lisheng’s hands, her little face lighting up with a joyful smile, “Grandpa, does that mean we can go to town again tomorrow?” It had been a long time since she’d been to town.

Yang Lisheng smiled and nodded, placing the ginseng into a bamboo basket and covering it with other herbs, “Tomorrow Grandpa will take you to town. Don’t you want to eat Zhu Ji’s dumplings? Grandpa will buy them for you tomorrow.” He dearly loved his granddaughter; he and his wife wished nothing more than to give her all the best things in the world.

“Grandpa is the best! Xiao Ning loves you the most.” Song Yan Ning reached out to hug Yang Lisheng’s arm and happily shook it.

“You little foodie,” Yang Lisheng said with a laugh, gently pinching Song Yan Ning’s nose, his eyes brimming with indulgence.

Stickin tonguing out playfully, Song Yan Ning asked, “Grandpa, are we going to continue picking herbs?”

Yang Lisheng looked at the sky, “No need, let’s head home.” Having found the ginseng, he was already very satisfied.

Putting the bamboo basket on his back, Yang Lisheng took Song Yan Ning’s little hand and they headed down the mountain.

The gentle breeze blew through the trees, mixing with bursts of refreshing floral scents, lifting one’s spirits.

“Xiao Ning, have you ever thought about going back to your mom and dad?” Yang Lisheng asked Song Yan Ning. He had never hidden the truth about her parents from her, and he didn’t want to send Xiao Ning away, but she was about to start elementary school, and the education in Beijing would definitely be better than here. Xiao Ning was so bright; he really didn’t want to hold her back.

“Does Grandpa not like Xiao Ning anymore?” Song Yan Ning looked at Yang Lisheng, her eyes tinged with a hint of grievance. She didn’t want to return to the Song Family; it was so much freer here.

With a family like the Song Family, there were too many rules and restrictions, and since they rejected her because of her appearance, why would she yearn for them? Her own status was far more noble than the Song Family’s. As for her appearance, it was only due to the seal within her; the day the seal was broken would be the day her true appearance was revealed.

“How could Grandpa not want Xiao Ning? Grandpa just wants you to have a better education,” Yang Lisheng replied, lovingly ruffling Song Yan Ning’s hair.
