"What did you say?" Jin Ruiyang asked.
His voice was still gentle and warm, but there was a tremble to it.
That tremble was due to excitement.
Xu Sisi was about to answer him when suddenly, not far ahead, the sound of a dog barking erupted.
Xu Sisi instantly turned her head and saw a large white dog bounding towards them in excitement. If it weren’t for the leash around its neck holding it back, it probably would have pounced on them directly.
At the other end of the leash was Elder Master Jin, struggling to drag the big white dog back.
That big white dog was none other than Lingdang, whom Elder Master Jin kept by his side.
It was then that Xu Sisi realized they had arrived at the Jin family’s front gate. Thɪs chapter is updated by novèlfire.net
Xu Sisi’s pupils dilated in the midst of Elder Master Jin’s awkward laughter.
Elder Master Jin even thoughtfully added, "You two keep going, keep going. Grandpa didn’t see anything—Lingdang, let’s go home."
Unfortunately, Lingdang was not cooperating at all, still crazily waving its tail and rushing towards Jin Ruiyang.
Xu Sisi quickly jumped out of Jin Ruiyang’s embrace.
Jin Ruiyang did not stop her, rubbing his temple with a headache, and called out helplessly, "Grandpa..."
Elder Master Jin knew he had interrupted his grandson at the wrong time, feeling guilty inside.
But with his quirky character, he could feel guilty and blame himself, but no one else was allowed to blame him.
So, hearing Jin Ruiyang speak to him in that tone, he immediately got unhappy, stiffening his neck and retorting, "What are you shouting for? Grandpa didn’t do it on purpose. Who told you to hug in the wrong place and even come to the front gate to do it? Isn’t it just for me and Lingdang to see?"
The old man was even getting revved up.
Seeing that Xu Sisi was so embarrassed she wished she could bury her head in the ground, Jin Ruiyang had no choice but to interrupt Elder Master Jin.
"Grandpa, please say less."
Elder Master Jin finally remembered Xu Sisi was there, his face flushing red, and he dragged Lingdang back home while loudly scolding, "Lingdang, let’s go home. If you don’t go back now, I’ll stew you."
Lingdang seemed to understand, and the originally frolicking dog instantly tucked its tail and followed Elder Master Jin into the house without needing any dragging.
"Let’s go, back home."
Jin Ruiyang took Xu Sisi’s hand and walked into the courtyard, with Xu Sisi following him like a little tail, murmuring softly.
"Brother Ruiyang, I think I should go back to my house."
Jin Ruiyang did not hear her.
"I said, I should probably go back to my house first," Xu Sisi repeated, a bit louder this time, but still muffled.
Jin Ruiyang yet again didn’t catch it: "Say it louder."
Xu Sisi thought Jin Ruiyang was doing it on purpose to tease her and, irritated and embarrassed, she looked up and yelled, "Brother Ruiyang, you’re being annoying!"
She left Jin Ruiyang stupefied.
Elder Master Jin, who had already gone back home, came back out: "Jin Ruiyang, did you hear that? Sisi said you’re being annoying. Hey, right, girl, how is Ruiyang annoying? Tell Grandpa, I’ll help you beat him up."
Jin Ruiyang looked expressionlessly at Elder Master Jin, who seemed to have caught him in a fault: "..."
This old man really knew how to create chaos.
He suspected he might not be the biological grandson, guessing his dad must have picked him up from a pile of trash and raised him as a makeshift son.
Otherwise, why would Elder Master Jin assist in everything when Jin Yu was chasing his wife, yet when it came to his turn, he did all sorts of silly things?
Sure enough, after Elder Master Jin shouted out those words, Xu Sisi couldn’t stand it any longer; she swiftly pulled her hand away and ran like a rabbit, saying as she ran, "Brother Ruiyang, I think I really should go back to my house."
