Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting
Chapter 1114 - 723: The Seven-Year Itch (6)"I’ll go back with you."
"Didn’t you say your focus is in London for the next few years? If you go back with us, how will you handle your work?"
"You have such a poor memory."
Yin Shixiu said casually, leaving Su Xiaomeng momentarily stunned.
Poor memory?
"The year you got into Bath University, we moved the whole family to London. Was my work focus in London then?"
Yin Shixiu’s tone was calm, yet within that tranquility, Xiao Meng sensed a hint of sarcasm.
"I’ll arrange the work stuff. Let me know the day you want to go back, I’ll have someone book the tickets."
"Preferably the 27th or 28th..."
"Alright, I understand."
Yin Shixiu responded flatly, released her arm, and walked out after opening the door.
Su Xiaomeng leaned against the wall, her hand slowly hanging by her side. She vaguely realized something, but found it hard to see clearly through a thin veil.
Coming back to herself, she frowned. What’s going on? He remembers moving his work focus to London for her to study at Bath University...
Back then, he managed so much for her and the children, but now he doesn’t even want to go home.
Who really has the poor memory?
————
The news that Su Xiaomeng was planning to take the children back to the country reached the ears of Yin Family elders and Su’s father and mother, delighting all four elders.
The transfer procedures for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang weren’t too complicated, but the Yin Family elders insisted on handling them, allowing Xiao Meng and Shixiu to save effort.
Xiao Meng couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of her in-laws. Although she worried about the elders’ health, seeing them on video made her realize their spirits were better than previous years, so she let them handle it.
Since then, Yin Shixiu came home every day, went to the guest room to ask his wife back to the bedroom each day, but returned disappointed each time.
They booked tickets for the 27th. They had reached the airport and passed security and exit checks, but Yin Shixiu turned back due to a phone call.
"There’s an emergency at the company, you go ahead. Once I’m done, I’ll catch the next flight back."
Yin Shixiu said this to Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng didn’t try to stop him, merely responding indifferently, having largely grown accustomed to the frustration.
Shuangshuang looked seriously at Yin Shixiu,
"Dad, we’ll wait for you in Beijing, come quickly."
"Alrighty."
Yin Shixiu kissed Shuangshuang, watching them head toward the boarding gate.
Just how urgent or important the matter was, Su Xiaomeng didn’t know, nor did she care much.
After a ten-hour flight, the three reached Beijing.
Meeting them at the airport were Bai Sixian and Su Chengji.
Last time they returned was in February for Lunar New Year, and now six months had passed. Shuangshuang and Huang Huang gleefully ran towards their grandparents.
The two little ones had grown quite a bit; while they’re not as tall as kids their age, they’ve certainly gotten heavier.
Su Chengji, with all his strength, lifted the little girl Shuangshuang, who wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a big kiss on him, making Su Chengji beam with happiness!
"Little Shuangshuang really missed Grandpa! That kiss showed me!"
Su Chengji said, giving Little Shuangshuang a solid kiss on her cheek!
Bai Sixian, less animated by nature, couldn’t resist holding Prince Huang in her arms as well.
Prince Huang hugged Bai Sixian, calling her grandma.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaomeng was pushing a cart loaded with three large suitcases, seeing her parents’ attention all on their grandchildren, leaving her feeling... the world has changed.
Who knows how long the four grandparents and grandchildren clung together, before the excitement somewhat calmed down. Su Chengji, finally noticing, turned to Su Xiaomeng,
"Where’s Shixiu? Didn’t he come with you? Where’s he gone?"
"He’s busy. We were supposed to come together, but a phone call pulled him back to work. Let’s head home first, no need to block others here."
Xiao Meng smiled as she spoke, then proceeded to push the cart forward.
Su Chengji and Bai Sixian exchanged a glance... feeling that even though Su Xiaomeng was speaking with a smile, there was something off.

Once in the car, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang sat together.
Every time they visit, Shuangshuang becomes overly excited, endlessly pointing along the roadside, saying one place has great buns, another has delicious soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Talking almost constantly about food.
Once Prince Huang was in the car, he immediately put on headphones, played his MP4, and listened to music.
Bai Sixian curiously glanced at the music playing on the MP4 screen. Prince Huang noticed his grandma’s actions, quickly removed one earphone and handed it to her,
"Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, by Mozart."
Bai Sixian happily took the earphone, put it in her ear, and patted Prince Huang’s head.
After listening for quite a while, the piece ended, and Prince Huang looked at Bai Sixian,
"Did you like it?"
"It’s lovely..."
Bai Sixian replied, tilting her head, she asked,
"Isn’t this Mozart’s original?"
Prince Huang’s eyes brightened, looking at Bai Sixian.
Seeing his expression, Bai Sixian knew she guessed right,
"The second section seems slightly altered. Grandma learned an instrument as a child, practiced piano for two or three years before letting it go, but I’m a loyal Mozart fan. Nowadays, I mostly listen rather than play."
Prince Huang pursed his lips, this boy with a somewhat quiet nature, Bai Sixian never expected he’d develop such a strong passion for the piano.
Last year, the little guy quietly won second place in the London children’s piano group competition, the result of learning piano from someone like Yin Shaoqun for a year.
She and Su Chengji were overjoyed, while the elder Yin Family members bragged endlessly about how talented their grandson was.
And last year, Aunt Shaoqun passed away after battling stomach cancer.
Bai Sixian only later heard from Su Xiaomeng that after winning second place, Prince Huang returned home crying his heart out, refusing to visit Yin Shaoqun in the hospital.
It was eventually Yin Shaoqun who came in her wheelchair to "visit" Prince Huang at home.
Soon after, she passed away, and Prince Huang threw himself into practice even harder.
"Grandma, the second section is altered by me, I prefer this rhythm."
Bai Sixian’s eyes lit up, "So, the whole piece I heard was played by you?"
Prince Huang nodded.
"Why does the last section sound a bit... messy? Did you change that too?"
Prince Huang quickly pointed to Shuangshuang, who was leaning against the window thinking about Beijing snacks.
"When I recorded the last section, she disrupted me."
