Qin Guozhong was just about to eat when his beloved wife called out to him, causing him to pause midway through his meal.
Looking at his wife, "My dear, can’t you just—"
He was about to say if she could stop making trouble out of nothing, but remembering her unresolved anger from earlier, he decided to let it be.
"You know that’s not my habit."
"Is this a matter of habit? It’s about whether a person cares or not!" the elderly lady emphasized!
Qin Guozhong found himself at a loss for words.
He feared that if he didn’t serve her that dish today, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy his meal properly.
With that thought, he picked up his chopsticks and gave her a small piece of bok choy.
Zhuang Yanyan took one look and was dissatisfied, frowning and glaring at him, "Why did you serve me just one small piece of bok choy?"
As Qin Guozhong had finished serving and was about to eat, he heard his wife’s dissatisfied voice again, causing him to stop in his tracks once more.
He looked down, glanced at the small piece of bok choy in her bowl, thinking it was just a casual pickup, not caring about the specifics of what he picked.
"With so many fish and meats, why did you only serve me a small bok choy? Look at your grandson—ah, he’s been serving Qiangwei all meat!" said the elderly lady, even pointing deliberately at Gu Qiangwei’s bowl, where Qin Sijue indeed had served her only meat.
Qin Guozhong felt helpless.
He could only extend his chopsticks again and serve her a piece of braised pork.
Zhuang Yanyan, holding her bowl, dodged the piece of braised pork he served her.
Qin Guozhong also seemed to lose his patience, put down his bowl, and stared at his wife, "Then what exactly do you want?"
Zhuang Yanyan glanced at him and picked up her chopsticks, "Eat!"
There is a saying that is true, only the petty and women are difficult to maintain!
He sighed, finally able to eat his meal in peace!
At this moment, Zhuang Yanyan turned her head and whispered something to Gu Qiangwei.
"Qiangwei, look, actually your grandfather isn’t that fierce!"
Gu Qiangwei was about to eat when she suddenly heard the elderly lady’s voice, and unexpectedly raised her eyes, meeting the elderly lady’s gaze.
Had she done so much just now to let her know, to reassure her that Qin Si’s grandfather wasn’t that bad, that fierce?
The elderly lady looked at her with a smile, fearing that due to the previous incident, she might bear a grudge against her husband. If she was destined to be part of the Qin Family, of course, she hoped that the family could get along without any misgivings.
Moved by Zhuang Yanyan’s kind gaze and her heartfelt intentions, Gu Qiangwei felt touched.
She smiled but did not reply.
After lunch was over, it seemed the old couple was also planning to leave.
Zhuang Yanyan had obviously been joking before; how could she possibly really stay? She was merely trying to tease her grandson.
"Qiangwei, we’re leaving now, make sure you take good care of yourself!"
Perhaps, in Zhuang Yanyan’s heart, not being able to conceive a child was somewhat regrettable, but some things might just be destined.
If her grandson was destined only for Qiangwei, then whether they had children or not was not something they needed to insist upon.
Gu Qiangwei walked her to the door.
The elderly lady seemed to suddenly realize something, looking at her, "Why are you still calling me Madam? You should be calling me Grandma."
Gu Qiangwei was stunned; happiness had come so unexpectedly that she was caught off guard.
To change how she addressed her?
The elderly lady, however, was looking forward to her response.
"Oh my, that’s the nicest name I’ve ever heard."
