Chapter 62: Chapter 062: Younger Brother Calls Brother-in-Law_1
She was clearly terrified of his touch in her past life, but now, she didn’t dislike it at all.
So this is what Zhuanzhuan meant by “liking” someone? But why does it feel different to how she liked Qiao Jingxuan before? She remembered in her past life, when she was in high school and liked Qiao Jingxuan, it didn’t feel .
Back then, it was merely an admiration of his talent, and being irresistibly captivated by his charm and elegance.
“Sis, you genuinely like your brother-in-law.” Zhuanzhuan, seeing her blush and act shy, clapped happily, “Ha-ha-ha… Wonderful, grandma will be so thrilled she’ll add an extra meat dish to tonight’s dinner.”
“…” Nan Fei was speechless. So Zhuanzhuan was just after the meat dish?
“By the way, what did you just call Huo Beijiang?”
“Brother-in-law!” Zhuanzhuan’s eyes glistened, “When I was leaving, grandma was teaching little brother to call him ‘brother-in-law’!”
Nan Fei rubbed her forehead helplessly and corrected, “He’s not your brother-in-law yet. It won’t be too late to change how you address him when he officially becomes so.”
“Grandma said, it’s better to start early than late.”
“You…” They arrived at grandma’s house without realizing it while chatting. Catching sight of grandma and her brother in the courtyard, Nan Fei swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
In the courtyard, Guan Rufang and Jiang Yang were sitting face to face on short stools.
Jiang Yang, with his delicate little face, was looking at grandma attentively. His small hands were resting obediently on his knees, giving the impression of a well-behaved baby.
“Come on, repeat after me,” Guan Rufang took on the air of a patient teacher. “Brother-in-law.”
“Brother-in-law!!!” Guan Rufang was frustrated that her grandson wouldn’t call Huo Beijiang “brother-in-law”. “Say it, broth-er-in-law!”
Jiang Yang looked at grandma baffled, and after a while, he hummed something indistinctly.
Grandpa, who was busy laying out a chessboard at the side, couldn’t bear to watch anymore, “You might as well stop trying, he won’t even call me grandpa, and yet you want him to call someone else brother-in-law. Look at you, daydreaming even when it’s still light out.”
Guan Rufang’s face instantly darkened, “What did you say?” she threatened.
Grandpa didn’t bother to argue with her and waved Jiang Yang over, “Come, my good grandson, let’s play a round of chess.” Despite the boy’s simple-mindedness, his chess skills were remarkable. Grandpa always had to cheat to win, sigh! Of all his grandchildren, only he dared to beat grandpa at chess.
Grandpa resolved secretly in his heart that he wouldn’t give this naive grandson any New Year’s money next year.
As expected, Jiang Yang obediently stood up, ran over to sit opposite grandpa. The old man and the boy began setting up the chessboard and prepared for battle in their game of chess.
Nan Fei stood at the doorway, a relieved smile spread across her face when she saw her little brother playing chess with grandpa again. In her past life, it was because of his chess-playing skills that she realized he was actually a genius.
She made a silent vow that once she made enough money, she would buy him a Go set.
“Aren’t you coming in?” Guan Rufang called out coldly to the door, “Don’t think I don’t know you’re standing there.”
The pair walked in together, and Zhuanzhuan brought a small stool to watch grandpa play chess, steering away from the upcoming confrontation. This left Nan Fei alone facing a riled up grandma.
“Ha! Out the whole day with your fiancé? Got back really late, too. Why didn’t you just stay the night at Beijiang’s place?”
“Like I thought, you’re useless!” Guan Rufang scoffed disdainfully, “You really disappoint me, not seizing the opportunity while Beijiang’s home to make him yours.”
