Old Man Cheng smiled at the polite Shen Lanzhi and looked back at Shi Le’s face.
What happened to Shi Le all of a sudden?
Shouldn’t he be happy now that his grandson is back? Why did he look so depressed?
With Shi Le’s silence, the atmosphere in the dining room became a little too depressing. Other than Shi Yuting who was still showing off his love for Zuo Weiyi, everyone else continued eating in silence.
“Here, have more of these. They’re your favourite after all.”
After knowing that Weiyi liked wantons, Shen Lanzhi had specifically requested the chef to cook some in chicken soup. So the dish tasted particularly delicious.
Shi Yuting scooped a few spoonfuls into her bowl, all the while completely unaffected by Shi Le’s mood. It was as if at this moment, Zuo Weiyi was all he saw and all that mattered.
Zuo Weiyi naturally noticed his grandfather’s slightly downcast expression. She then looked at the few large wantons that Shi Yuting had scooped for her and could not help but feel a little awkward for a moment.
Could it be that Shi Yuting did not notice that the atmosphere was not right?
But what exactly was wrong with his grandfather? Ever since Shi Yuting returned, he had been in a bad mood.
How could a grandparent be upset upon a grandchild’s return?
Zuo Weiyi felt disturbed as she looked at the two big pieces of wantons in her bowl.
“Ah, Little Shi’s affections towards his wife really make people like us from the older generation feel envious.” Old Man Cheng could not help but make a comment as he watched how Shi Yuting and Zuo Weiyi behaved with one another.
Shen Lanzhi also smiled and nodded gently.
The relationship between her son and Weiyi had indeed always been very good.
Old Man Cheng looked at Shi Le once again and noticed that the latter’s expression had not changed.
Zuo Weiyi stopped eating when she heard Old Man Cheng’s words.
Little Shi?
Was this ‘Little Shi’ really Shi Yuting?
Why did she suddenly find it so funny?
A man who was high and mighty like him would also be called in such a way by others.
She turned to look at her husband. Shi Yuting’s gaze darkened slightly, as if he was a little surprised by this sudden address.
Although Old Man Cheng was an old comrade of his grandfather, Shi Yuting had never seen him before. But, Old Man Cheng knew about them because he had attended their full moon celebration.
And with that, dinner ended solemnly.
Shi Le and Old Man Cheng had planned to give Cheng Huan and Nuannuan more time to spend together after the dinner. However, looking at the situation, the Chengs had no choice but to go back first.
After Old Man Cheng left, Shi Le walked to a window in the living room and looked at the night sky outside. His gaze was a little misty.
Shi Yuting could guess the reason his grandfather was being so down. After sending Zuo Weiyi upstairs, he returned to the living room.
Shi Le turned to look at his grandson. Then, he walked to the sofa with his cane and sat down.
“Has everything been settled over there?”
He spoke without looking at Yuting. His gaze fell on somewhere unknown.
“Yes, except for Shi Tiannan.”
Yuting’s words finally caught Shi Le’s attention as the latter looked at the former in surprise.
He had not taken care of Tiannan?
“Are you worried about him?” asked Shi Yuting directly.
Shi Le turned away and sighed.
