Hearing this, Shi Nuannuan’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Thank you, Brother!”
With that, she turned around and left the room, carefully closing the door behind her. “I won’t disturb you anymore. Do continue…”
Shi Yuting sat on the bed and turned towards the person who had buried herself under the blanket. How could he continue?
It seemed that he would have to lock the door behind him before he could do anything next time.
Shi Nuannuan went downstairs and ran to the main door.
Shi Le, who was sitting in the living room, could not help but frown when he saw her holding the car keys. “Girl, where are you going so late at night?”
Shi Nuannuan had ran too fast just now and did not seem to have noticed her grandfather sitting in the living room.
“I, I have something to do outside.”
“Your leg injury just healed. Why do you have to go out so late at night?”
“Grandfather, it’s only seven o’clock now! How is it late at night?” Shi Nuannuan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
“Fine, so where are you going?”
“I…” She paused as she looked at her grandfather sitting on the sofa. He was so sensitive. If she revealed anything about her love for Xiangyi, he would definitely get to the bottom of it. Then, she would never be able to go to the hospital tonight!
“Grandfather, I’m already a grown-up. Can’t I have some privacy?”
Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Shi Le could not help but feel a little flustered.
Did she dislike him for being too meddlesome?
However, in his eyes, the only one who had grown up was his grandson, Shi Yuting. She was still a child to him.
“How have you grown up? You’re clearly still a little girl.”
“Grandfather, I’m already 22 years old! Sister-in-Law is only a few months older than me. Look, she has already given birth to your great-grandson and great-granddaughter. Am I still young?”
Shi Le paused, momentarily at a loss for words.
Suddenly, he asked, “Don’t tell me you have a boyfriend too?”
This time, it was Shi Nuannuan who paused.
And in the few seconds that she paused, Shi Le had already guessed it.
“You really have a boyfriend?!”
Shi Nuannuan pursed her lips and retorted. “Can’t I?”
Shi Le was silent for two seconds.
This girl would eventually get married when she grew up. Even though he himself thought that she was just a child, who could say for sure when it came to love? The person she didn’t like one second ago might have fallen for someone in the next.
He sighed. If she really had a boyfriend, it wouldn’t be good for him to interfere.
However, he still had to keep an eye on her. After all, her father had passed away so early, so he had to watch over her marriage.
“What’s his name? What business is his family in? Do you know him well?” Shi Le’s series of questions made Shi Nuannuan very uncomfortable.
Why did her marriage have to be measured by the other’s status and background?
She only wanted to marry and be with the person she liked. It was not like she was going to turn into those identities and backgrounds.
“Grandpa, can you—” She was about to refute again, but she suddenly stopped.
If she refuted, her grandpa would definitely be suspicious. He would definitely think that she had found someone with no status, so he would use this to reject him.
No.
Before she confirmed that Xiangyi liked her, she could not let her grandfather know about Xiangyi at all. What if he secretly interrogated Xiangyi like what was shown on TV? What if he was in danger and was not allowed to be with her?
No, no, she could not let such a ridiculous thing happen to her!
