Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 453: 454 - I Can't Wait Even a Moment Longer

Chapter 453: Chapter 454 – I Can’t Wait Even a Moment Longer

Senior Master Xiang felt uneasy as Ling Fangzhou called him “father”.

He tried to speak, wanting to say that Ling Fangzhou had no right to call him that.

But as the words approached his lips, he swallowed them back.

Ling Fangzhou was his daughter’s legitimate husband, so it was only fitting and proper for him to call him “father”.

Moreover, when Ling Fangzhou called him “father”, he felt a strange sensation.

It was as though Ling Fangzhou’s designation of “father” was proof of his daughter’s existence in this world.

Although he hadn’t been able to meet his daughter, she had left him a son-in-law, and a remarkable grandson.

Upon thinking like this, he found himself unable to criticize Ling Fangzhou.

After all, it was just a matter of how one addressed another.

No matter what Ling Fangzhou called him, he affirmed he would never treat him, Xie Wennan, or their children well in the future.

Thinking that Ling Yue would soon carry the Xiang surname brought a little joy to Senior Master Xiang’s heart.

He instructed his subordinate: “Go, take him to the civil affairs bureau to complete the paperwork. From now on, Xiao Yue will be known as Xiang Lingyue, understood?”

His subordinates were no ordinary people, brilliant and highly capable.

They were sure to remember this trivial task.

Only because he placed great importance on the matter and felt uneasy did he feel the need to inquire once more.

Understanding his feelings, his subordinates solemnly replied: “Yes, we remember! Congratulations on finding such an intelligent and witty grandson, in the future Young Master Xiao Yue will surely inherit your mantle and bring glory to the Xiang family.”

These words brought comfort to Senior Master Xiang, and he couldn’t help but show a tender and proud smile on his face.

He had always wondered why he and his wife, both intelligent and capable people, fathered such a mediocrity as Xiang Jiechao.

Now he understood it was because Xiang Jiechao wasn’t their blood.

Xiao Yue resembled a true descendant of his bloodline, whether in character or intellect, he greatly resembled him and his wife.

Seeing the tender and proud smile on Senior Master Xiang’s face caused Xie Wennan to crumble inside.

She really felt how much Senior Master Xiang valued Ling Yue.

But the more Senior Master Xiang valued Ling Yue, the more she regretted and wished she were dead.

The riches and honor that were within her reach, she’d thrown away with her own hands.

And along with them, the promising futures of her beloved children.

What kind of a mistake had she made, to have committed such a foolish and terrifying mistake?

The shock was too much for her to bear, her vision blurred and she fainted.

Senior Master Xiang sent a disdainful glance her way, then looked at Ling Fangzhou: “I’ll have someone look after her. You go and change Xiao Yue’s last name, and once that’s done, come back for her.”

He couldn’t wait another moment.

He was eager to see his precious grandson sharing his household registration.

Ling Fangzhou hesitated a bit, checked on Xie Wennan.

Assured that she had merely fainted and was not in any serious danger, he left with Master Xiang’s man.

Senior Master Xiang handed Xie Wennan over to his subordinates and returned to Lingyue’s sickroom.

Ling Yue was still in a deep sleep.

After resolving Ling Yue’s household registration matter, Senior Master Xiang, his emotions excited and his exhaustion gone, had no mood to rest. He ordered food to be brought in, ate carelessly, and then closed his eyes to rest on the couch.

Ling Yue didn’t wake up till evening.

When he woke up, his name had been changed from Ling Yue to Xiang Lingyue, and he had been officially added to Senior Master Xiang’s household registration, becoming a member of the Xiang family.

Meanwhile, at the behest of Senior Master Xiang, Xiang Jiechao’s name was changed to Xu Jiechao, and he was severed from Senior Master Xiang’s household registration.
