Sheng Jianan’s grip was strong, and Tang Yanqi couldn’t break free. She could only meet his gaze and start talking nonsense with a straight face: "I said I am so childish."
Miss Tang’s expression was so serious that if Young Master Sheng hadn’t just confirmed what he heard her say, he might even believe she was truly calling herself childish.
The strength of the Crown Prince once again hit cotton, and he could only angrily bite his teeth and snort coldly: "Tang Yanqi, you really know how to lie with your eyes wide open."
"Oh, sorry, next time I’ll do it with my eyes closed."
Sheng Jianan swore he hadn’t met anyone who could end a conversation between two people so outrageously since he was young, and Tang Yanqi was the first.
After being blocked for a long time, the road finally cleared a bit. Sheng Jianan no longer paid attention to Tang Yanqi and drove the car on his own.
Out of the downtown area, the car speed quickly increased, returning to the villa, Tang Yanqi got out of the car and saw Mrs. Zhang pushing Mr. Sheng to bask in the sun in the yard. The setting sun’s afterglow cast on the old man’s wrinkled face, and the kind of vicissitudes accumulated through years of hardships inexplicably moved her a little.
Mr. Sheng saw Tang Yanqi and Sheng Jianan getting out of the car together, and a smile appeared on his aged face. He reached out and waved at Tang Yanqi: "Yanxi, come here."
Tang Yanqi obediently walked to Mr. Sheng’s side, squatted by his wheelchair, and smiled: "Grandpa."
"Little Zhang, they’ve returned, go prepare dinner."
Sheng Jianan greeted his grandfather and was found an excuse by Mr. Sheng to go into the house, Tang Yanqi knew the old man had something to say to her.
"Yanxi, tell me the truth, how is Jianan treating you?"
"Grandpa, he treats me quite well."
The old man’s eyes, experienced with life’s ups and downs, smiled faintly, as if seeing through everything, and said: "You don’t need to cover for him. I know my grandson well, Jianan is filial to me, so he doesn’t go against me. He outwardly does what I say, but what he actually does is another matter. Child, Grandpa knows, I made you marry Jianan so forcefully, and he must vent his dissatisfaction with this arrangement on you. It’s been hard on you."
Tang Yanqi didn’t expect the old man to see things so clearly. She glanced inside the house, lightly pursed her lips. Her marriage to Sheng Jianan, as the old man said, was his decision, and the Tang Family was glad to connect with the Shengshi Group so readily. Both families agreed without anyone asking Sheng Jianan’s opinion, let alone hers.
Tang Yanqi knew Mr. Sheng chose her because the Tang Family’s grandfather was his comrade-in-arms, but she always felt that just for this reason was a bit too hasty.
Someone who could see things so clearly, even if they had disguised so well in front of him, how could he make such a hasty decision?
"Grandpa, I want to know, why did you choose me?"
Tang Yanqi asked very softly, and Mr. Sheng smiled slightly: "Jianan, that child, is bold and decisive, has ability and tact. He’s always been smarter than other kids since he was little, and being from the Sheng Family, from birth, he’s had more than others. There’s nothing he can’t accomplish or get that he wants."
