“Old man Feng, once you come in, you’ll know.” The steward smiled. He stopped and did not go any further because the living room was in front of him.
Old Patriarch Feng walked up and entered the living room with his hands clasped behind his back. When he looked up, his gaze met a pair of smiling eyes that made him jump in shock. His face flushed red in embarrassment and then he turned tail and ran.
Feng Jiu was stunned. She just stood up and greeted him, only to see her grandfather unexpectedly... scared off by her?
“Do I look different? How come I scared him that much?” She frowned and touched her face with one hand. She looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze with an odd expression.
“Haha, San Yuan, ah. He has always felt that he isn’t Su Xi’s match. He also thinks that he’s old. However, Su Xi looks like she’s in her twenties. I guess he’s not ready to see your sudden appearance here!” Lin Bo Heng smiled. He stood up and spoke in a helpless tone, “Let me take you to his courtyard. He must be hiding there again.”
After hearing his explanation, Feng Jiu was dumbfounded. Then she looked at Gray Wolf, recalling what he said at that time, and couldn’t help laughing. “I didn’t expect that seeing me would frighten him instead of giving him a nice surprise! Sigh! Had I better not come instead?”
Even Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s lips were curved up in a smile. He stood up and followed the Lin Bo Heng to Patriarch Feng’s courtyard.
At this moment, Old Patriarch Feng running to the courtyard like his pants was on fire with his face beet red. Along the way, he kept on muttering, “Finished, it’s finished. How did Little Feng come here and find me? This, if the situation between Su Xi and me is known to her, where do I put my self-respect?”
At this moment, how could he remember Lin Bo Heng’s words of counsel? All he could think of was that his granddaughter had come, but he had a woman here. If she knew this fact, what would she think of him as a grandfather? Would she say that he was dishonourable?
“What to do, what to do? What is the best way out?”
“What are you talking about, what to do?”
A soft voice with a questioning tone was heard, making him jumped in surprise. He patted his chest vigorously and looked at the person who came approaching. “Su Xi? Why is it you? Why are you here?”
“I want to come over and have breakfast with you. I got the things ready but didn’t see you. Since I heard that someone come to visit you, I was about to take a look. But then I saw you came running sprightly while also keep whispering what to do. What’s the matter?”
Old Patriarch Feng didn’t know what to say. He could only sit on the stone bench and kept worrying helplessly.
She could not help asking with some misgivings, “Who has come to see you? Didn’t you say that you have no acquaintance here?”
“Ai! It’s Little Feng girl, my granddaughter. My granddaughter is here.” He scowled miserably, fearing that Little Feng wouldn’t be able to bear it. Would she be angry with him and not recognize him as her grandfather?”
“Little Feng? That very capable little girl?” Su Xi stared blankly for a moment and then smiled. “She came just at the right time, I would like to see her! Weren’t you still thinking about her the other day? Why did you run back and hide when she’s here?”
“This, I...” Just as he was about to open his mouth with a tense look, he heard the sound of people chatting and laughing. The sound made him jump out of the stone bench.
“Oh no, oh no. Here they come!”
