Da Bao insisted on adding fuel to the fire, "Ride a horse... need a horse to ride..."
This made Old Master Ling even more anxious and he directly kicked him. Ling Mo Han, caught off guard, took the full force of the kick and fell flat on the ground.
Old Master Ling then placed Da Bao and Er Bao onto Ling Mo Han's back, and somehow found a neck strap, putting it around Ling Mo Han's neck. Now he truly looked like a horse.
With Da Bao grabbing the reins and shaking them, Ling Mo Han appeared to be an incredibly pathetic old horse, truly pitiful.
"Get off me!"
In his entire 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, and anger surged in his heart.
Ling Mo Han reached out and yanked Da Bao and Er Bao off his back, standing them directly in front of him.
Before he could even say anything harsh, Da Bao and Er Bao burst into tears. Old Master Ling, protective of his grandchildren, immediately became upset.
He picked up his cane and stood in front of the two children, looking at Ling Mo Han displeasantly. "What do you want to do? With that grim face, you want to hit them? So what if they rode you like a horse? I tell you, it's your honor. You have no idea these children wouldn't even spare a glance for someone they don't like. The fact that they were willing to sit on you just now was an immense honor for you!"
"How dare you glare at me like that, you're getting too bold. Look at your sour face, what's wrong? You want to hit the children in front of me? I tell you, as long as I'm here, you're not going to hit them. If you want to hit them, you'll have to beat me first!"
Old Master Ling's sudden capriciousness left Ling Mo Han speechless. He stood there stunned, seemingly having not anticipated things would unfold this way. For a moment, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
He now understood why Feng Jin insisted on not letting his grandfather spend too much time with the children. At first, he thought Feng Jin was overly worried and that even with his grandfather's indulgence, there would be some limits.
But at this moment, having experienced it firsthand, he could finally understand Feng Jin's feelings. He felt immense guilt towards Feng Jin and deeply regretted his previous words. He truly was wrong.
"Grandfather... you're doing this..." Ling Mo Han opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't utter any words of rebuke. He could only sigh helplessly and return to his chair. He truly found it difficult to say anything disobedient to his grandfather directly.
Old Master Ling snorted at Ling Mo Han, then looked at the two children with a smile. Seeing Da Bao and Er Bao's crestfallen faces, especially with tears welling up in their eyes.
He felt incredibly heartbroken. He quickly pulled the two children to his side, tenderly wiping away their tears. "Alright, don't cry, don't cry. Great Grandfather is so heartbroken to see you like this. That fool won't be your horse, but Great Grandfather will be your horse. You kids should ride this old horse, Great Grandfather."
Ling Mo Han was taken aback by these words. This was the first time his grandfather had called him a fool, and that his grandfather wanted to be a horse for the children.
By the time he came to his senses, his grandfather was already crouching on the ground pretending to be a horse, with the two children happily sitting on his back. Ling Mo Han felt his entire worldview shattered.
He quickly got up and carried the two children down, then hurried to help his grandfather up from the ground.
"Grandfather, how old are you? You're still crawling on the ground to be a horse for them. Are you trying to end your life!"
He had been truly terrified just now. At his age, how could he still be so reckless and do such things? It was simply unbelievable.
Compared to Ling Mo Han's worry, Old Master Ling seemed completely unbothered. Instead, he berated Ling Mo Han. "What's wrong? You don't want to crawl here and be a horse? I'm willing to be a horse for my dear grandchildren, willing to have my dear grandchildren sit on my back. Is it any of your business!"
After speaking, Old Master Ling pushed aside Ling Mo Han, who was standing beside him, and was about to crouch down again. But as soon as he bent his leg, Ling Mo Han quickly grabbed him.
"Grandfather... you're old, please don't be reckless anymore. You should just sit here and rest."
Ling Mo Han was helpless. He truly could not predict that something like this would happen, let alone that his grandfather would dote on these two children so much, going to such lengths without any complaint, and even enjoying it.
"You're stopping me from being a horse, then you quickly crawl here and be a horse for me, let my dear grandchildren sit on your back!"
Old Master Ling pointed at Ling Mo Han and sternly commanded, his tone resolute, ordering Ling Mo Han to quickly crawl on the ground.
"Grandfather, I..."
Ling Mo Han looked at Old Master Ling with a troubled expression, hesitating to make any further move.
"Hurry up."
Seeing Ling Mo Han's prolonged inaction, Old Master Ling could no longer hold back. He directly pushed Ling Mo Han down and told Da Bao and Er Bao to get on quickly.
The man on the ground looked helpless. He dared not defy his grandfather now.
"You two get down! You're truly out of control!"
Feng Jin's voice came through. Old Master Ling was startled, the two children trembled with fright, while only Ling Mo Han felt his joy at the impending end of the ordeal.
"Mother..."
When the two children saw Feng Jin, they called out in a timid voice, lowering their heads in unison, not daring to look up.
Feng Jin stepped forward and directly lifted the two little ones down, her voice stern. "Who told you to ride your father like a horse? You've only been out for a short while and you're already running wild!"
"Mother..." Tears welled up in Da Bao and Er Bao's eyes, but they dared not let them fall, holding them back until their little noses turned red. They looked truly pitiful.
"This was all my idea. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't take your anger out on the children!" Old Master Ling couldn't bear to see the two children wronged and angrily confronted Feng Jin.
Feng Jin rolled her eyes. She knew it was Old Master Ling's idea. Otherwise, Ling Mo Han wouldn't be crawling on the ground to be a horse for the children. It seemed he was coerced into it and had no choice.
