Qin Suxin looked at him with both joy and heartache, "You came so early, you must have left before dawn, right? Haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? I just made some dumplings, you and An’an can start with some while I cook more for you."
"Thank you, Grandma!" Xu Weiran was not shy, taking Ning An’s hand and heading to eat the dumplings together.
The others felt mixed emotions as they watched him.
This kid didn’t act like an outsider at all.
Chasing after her so eagerly during the New Year’s.
While it proved how much the kid cared about Ning An, seeing someone so eager to snatch up their precious "little cabbage" didn’t sit well with anyone.
Finally, Sheng Yan Cheng cleared his throat and spoke, "Ahem, Xu, as you know, our An’an is still young."
"Grandpa, I understand, and don’t worry, I will take good care of An’an," Xu Weiran lifted his head, exchanged glances with Ning An, and smiled as he spoke.
Sheng Yan Cheng said, "I meant, at your age, your family must be quite anxious?" His granddaughter was still young; if this kid was in a rush to marry, he could look for someone else. He wanted to keep his granddaughter at home for a few more years.
Xu Weiran: "Grandpa, it’s alright, I can wait until An’an graduates. Moreover, my family likes An’an very much, and they are not rushing me anymore. Besides, Yeli isn’t married either! I’m not in a hurry."
Someone was not only unmarried but didn’t even have a partner.
Having initially wanted to persuade the other party to consider switching partners, Sheng Yan Cheng suddenly found himself at a loss for words, casting a frustrated glance at his second son.
Sheng Yeli lifted his gaze, his cold stare fixating on Xu Weiran.
Xu Weiran responded with a completely unapologetic smile.
As the saying goes, don’t let a fellow daoist drown alone. He didn’t want to drag the other party down, but there was nothing he could do!
Possibly the other person could understand. Once he and Ning An were officially together, he would definitely treat this Young Uncle well.
Sheng Yeli, being a man of few words, was even less inclined to speak after encountering someone’s shamelessness.
Qin Suxin, understanding her husband’s intentions, glared at him and spoke, "Enough, you’re not worried about your own son but over your granddaughter instead. I think Ran is quite good, obedient and sensible. He will surely take good care of An’an in the future, much better than Yeli, that boy. If you scare away such a wonderful son-in-law, I won’t let you off."
Seeing the kid playing dumb with him, Sheng Yan Cheng decided to be blunt, "What son-in-law, let me tell you, my granddaughter is still young, not in a rush to get married." He then turned to Xu Weiran, "And you, dating is one thing, but watch your boundaries. If you dare play that game of boarding the train before buying the ticket, don’t even think about stepping foot in Sheng’s house again."
"Grandpa!" As her grandfather’s words became more outrageous, Ning An couldn’t help but speak out.
Facing his beloved granddaughter’s disapproving look, Sheng Yan Cheng hastily explained, "Grandpa is just worried about you, afraid that you’ll be taken advantage of. You’re a girl, you don’t understand men’s minds; some men might appear righteous but only they know their true intentions. Besides, you’re still young, grandpa wants to keep you around for a few more years, I can’t let just any wild boy deceive you."
"Grandpa, do you think I’m that easy to deceive? Also, who are you calling a wild boy?" Ning An feigned displeasure.
Knowing her grandpa cared for her, but Xu Weiran had come all this way to see her, she couldn’t let her grandpa scare him off.
