Da Bao insisted on adding fuel to the fire, "Ride a horse… make Father be the horse…"
This made Old Master Ling even more anxious. He directly kicked out, and Ling Mo Han, caught completely off guard, took the blow and fell flat on the ground.
Old Master Ling then placed Da Bao and Er Bao on Ling Mo Han's back one by one. He also found a neck strap from somewhere and put it around Ling Mo Han's neck. Now, he truly looked like a horse.
With Da Bao grabbing the reins and shaking, Ling Mo Han appeared to be an incredibly pathetic old horse, truly pitiable.
"Get down!"
In all his life, this was the first time he had been treated as a horse. Even by his own sons, he felt an unbearable sense of humiliation. A surge of anger instantly rose in his heart.
Ling Mo Han reached out and pulled Da Bao and Er Bao, who were sitting on his back, directly down. He stood them up side-by-side in front of him.
Before he could say anything harsh, Da Bao and Er Bao burst into tears. Old Master Ling, protective of his grandchildren, immediately became indignant.
He picked up his cane and stood in front of the two children, looking at Ling Mo Han displeasantly. "What do you want? Are you planning to hit them with that scowl? It's your honor to be ridden as a horse. Do you know that these children wouldn't even spare a glance for those they dislike? It was your immense honor that they were willing to sit on you earlier!"
"How dare you glare at me like this? You're getting too much! Look at your foul face. What's wrong? You want to hit the children in front of me? I tell you, as long as I'm here, you won't lay a hand on them. If you want to hit them, you'll have to beat me first!"
Old Master Ling's sudden unreasonable behavior left Ling Mo Han speechless. He stood there stunned, completely taken aback by how the situation had unfolded. He was at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, he understood why Feng Jin insisted on not letting his grandfather spend too much time with the children. He had initially thought Feng Jin was overly worried and that even if his grandfather doted on the children, there would still be limits.
But now, having experienced it firsthand, he could truly empathize with Feng Jin's feelings. He felt immense guilt towards Feng Jin and deeply regretted his previous words. He realized he had been wrong.
"Grandfather… you're doing this…" Ling Mo Han opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't utter any reproachful words. He could only sigh helplessly and had to sit back in his chair. He truly found it difficult to say anything disrespectful to his grandfather.
Old Master Ling snorted at Ling Mo Han, then looked at the two children with a smile. Seeing Da Bao and Er Bao's dejected little faces, especially with tears welling up in their eyes.
He felt an unbearable pang of heartache. He quickly pulled the two children to his side and wiped the tears from their faces with great affection. "There, there, don't cry. Don't cry. Your great-grandfather is heartbroken seeing this. If that idiot won't be your horse, your great-grandfather will be your horse. You two, ride your great-grandfather, this old horse."
Ling Mo Han's entire being felt off after hearing these words. This was the first time his grandfather had called him an idiot, and his grandfather even wanted to be a horse for the children.
When he came to his senses, his grandfather was already squatting on the ground pretending to be a horse, and the two children were sitting merrily on his grandfather's back. Ling Mo Han felt his entire worldview shatter.
He quickly got up and helped the two children down. He then hurried to help his grandfather, who was squatting on the ground.
"Grandfather, how old are you? You're still crouching on the ground to be a horse for them. Are you trying to risk your life!"
He had been terrified just moments ago. How could he still be so reckless at his age and do such things? It was almost unbelievable.
Unlike Ling Mo Han's concern, Old Master Ling appeared completely indifferent. Instead, he began to scold Ling Mo Han, "What's wrong? You don't want to crawl here and be a horse? I'm willing to be a cow or a horse for my precious grandchildren, willing to let my precious grandchildren sit on my back. What business is it of yours!"
After speaking, Old Master Ling pushed Ling Mo Han, who was standing beside him, aside. He was about to crouch down again, but as he bent his legs, Ling Mo Han quickly grabbed him.
"Grandfather… you're old, you can't be reckless. Please, just sit here and rest."
Ling Mo Han looked helpless. He truly couldn't anticipate such an event, and he was even more unaware that his grandfather loved these two children so much, to the point of doing this without any complaints, even enjoying it.
"If you're blocking me from being a horse, then you quickly crawl here and be a horse, letting my precious grandchildren sit on your back!"
Old Master Ling pointed at Ling Mo Han and sternly ordered, his tone firm, directly commanding Ling Mo Han to quickly get on the ground.
"Grandfather, I…"
Ling Mo Han looked at Old Master Ling with a troubled expression, hesitating to make any further moves.
"Hurry up."
Seeing that Ling Mo Han was not moving, Old Master Ling could no longer contain himself. He directly pushed Ling Mo Han down, telling Da Bao and Er Bao to get on quickly.
The man on the ground looked helpless. He dared not resist his grandfather now.
"You two, get down! You've truly become unruly!"
Feng Jin's voice came through. Old Master Ling couldn't help but be startled. The two children shivered in fear. Only Ling Mo Han's joy couldn't be suppressed; it was finally over.
"Mother…"
The two children looked at Feng Jin with a slight timidity, calling out to her. They lowered their heads in unison, afraid to look up again.
Feng Jin walked forward and directly lifted the two little ones down. Her voice was stern, "Who told you to ride your father as a horse? You've only been out for such a short time, and you're already being so unruly!"
"Mother…" Da Bao and Er Bao's eyes were full of tears, but they dared not let them fall, holding them back. Their little noses were red from holding back, looking incredibly pitiful.
"This was all my idea, old man. If you want to blame someone or vent your anger, come at me. Don't take it out on the children!" Old Master Ling truly couldn't bear to see the children wronged. He ran to Feng Jin angrily and confronted her.
Feng Jin rolled her eyes. She knew it was Old Master Ling's idea. Otherwise, Ling Mo Han would not have crawled on the ground to be a horse for the children. It seemed he was forced into it under duress.
