Elder Shi was a typical old cadre.
He always liked to keep a serious face, and he looked unsmiling and awe-inspiring.
Shi Lingyan was a man of few words; he had once thought that his grandfather was naturally stern and old-fashioned.
Then, he brought Tang Wu back home.
Tang Wu had a knack for pleasing the elderly, and she easily coaxed Elder Shi into beaming with joy.
Elder Shi’s smile, even compared to before he met Tang Wu, became even rarer.
He had thought that there weren’t many people who could make his grandfather happy.
After all, there was only one Tang Wu in this world.
However, when Shi Lingyan returned to the Shi Family, he felt an unusual atmosphere.
Elder Shi was holding a fruit plate, with a fruit fork in hand, smiling at a girl whose body was tender and pink.
Shi Mei had her mouth full of fruits and was assembling a rudimentary world map.
Her delicate fingers pinched a puzzle piece, looking somewhat clumsy, but after fitting it correctly, Elder Shi’s smile deepened and said, "Shi Mei is wonderful!"
Shi Mei, proud-faced, worked even more diligently.
It was clear that his grandfather didn’t regard Shi Mei as his granddaughter-in-law.
When Elder Shi saw Shi Lingyan return, his smile gradually faded, and he put down the fruit plate.
Shi Mei seemed to feel something, and when she looked up and saw Shi Lingyan, she called out with a sweet, delicate voice, "Husband!"
Her voice was soft and enthusiastic, making Shi Lingyan’s brow twitch.
And Shi Mei had already abandoned the world map in her hand, immediately bouncing from the couch, about to throw herself at Shi Lingyan.
Shi Lingyan instinctively stepped back, extending his hand to keep her half a meter away.
Shi Mei didn’t mind and immediately clung to his arm, "Husband is home, Shi Mei missed you so much!"
Shi Lingyan’s brow twitched again, and he quickly tried to shake her off with an avoidant look, frowning and saying, "Who taught you to talk ? Don’t ever say it again!"
His tone was somewhat stern, but Shi Mei still looked puzzled, blinked, and naively said, "Why? Sister Bai said that if I talk , husband will like me more!"
Shi Lingyan’s face darkened, "I said no means no."
Shi Mei immediately pouted, but still held onto Shi Lingyan’s arm, "Then I won’t say it anymore. Please don’t be angry, husband."
Those sensitive two words really were grating!
Just as Shi Lingyan was about to ask her to change her manner of addressing him, he saw Elder Shi’s meaningful glance.
Elder Shi still had a smile on his face, telling Shi Mei, "Shi Mei is good, go finish the puzzle, and let grandfather talk with your husband for a moment."
Shi Mei tilted her head, "Then will husband still sleep with Shi Mei?"
Hearing such innocent words spoken in that manner, Shi Lingyan felt a throbbing pain in his head and pushed her hand away, "Let go first."
"Won’t let go," Shi Mei’s mouth turned up high, almost crying, "If I let go, husband won’t sleep with me anymore. Sister Bai said that you need to sleep together to have a baby, and if you don’t sleep together, there won’t be a baby."
Shi Lingyan finally looked stern, "What nonsense has Bai Yuejie been teaching you? Let go, or I’ll throw you out to feed the mosquitoes!"
His tone was a bit fierce, and he yanked his arm away, even brushing off his sleeve with a disgusted expression.
Shi Mei, sensing his displeasure, quickly gathered tears in her eyes, her lips pursed as her eyes reddened.
