Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You damn old man, shut up!” Grandma Gu lowered her voice and looked at Grandpa Gu angrily. “Wencheng isn’t your grandson, is he? Since you dislike him so much, 1’11 make him change his surname and make your Gu family have no successor!”

“You!” Grandpa Gu was also angry. The two of them glared at each other and ignored each other.

Meng Nianyao had been troubled by how to answer Grandma Gu’s question, but she quickly tried to appease them. “Grandpa, Grandma, don’t be angry. Eat first.”

Meng Nianyao had never lived in a normal family and didn’t know how to deal with this situation. She could only secretly admire Gu Wencheng in her heart.

Grandma Gu noticed Meng Nianyao’s discomfort and pulled her up. “Come, Nianyao, let’s go shopping over there.”

Grandpa Gu sat there with a dark expression and did not even look at them. Meng Nianyao was actually very embarrassed; she could feel that Grandpa Gu didn’t like her very much, and because of this, she didn’t know how to talk to him.

Grandma Gu snorted and glanced at Grandpa Gu before pulling the hesitant Meng Nianyao away.”Let’s go, we don’t care about that old man.”

Meng Nianyao could only respond.” Okay, Grandpa. I’ll go over there with Grandma. You can eat something and read a book. I’ll send a message to Gu Wencheng. He’ll be here in a while…”

Grandma Gu dragged Meng Nianyao away.

There was a street behind the book bar, and there was a small embroidery shop on the street. Meng Nianyao had discovered it by chance. It was a woman’s nature to love beauty, and Grandma Gu was no exception. She liked one of the qipaos very much and was chatting about it with the shop owner.

Meng Nianyao walked to the side and took out her phone to send a message to Gu Wencheng, asking if he had arrived. There was no reply from the other end, so Meng Nianyao took a shawl and walked to Grandma Gu’s side. “Grandma, take a look at this.” The shawl was dark blue with beautiful patterns and a little folk style embroidery.

Grandma Gu gave it a try and liked it very much.”Not bad, not bad. Nianyao, you have good taste!”

“Humph! You’re having fun shopping!” Grandpa Gu’s deep voice came from the door.

Meng Nianyao and Grandma Gu looked at the door together and saw Gu Wencheng following behind Grandpa Gu with a smile in his eyes.

Grandma Gu rolled her eyes.” Of course I’m happy. I’m happy every day.”

The two elderly people were bickering like children. Meng Nianyao glanced at Gu Wencheng, relieved to see him.

Although Grandpa Gu was old-fashioned, when he saw that Grandma Gu was really angry, he began to coax her in a low voice. Grandma Gu also smiled very quickly. The two of them looked at the shawls together. Grandma Gu even said that she wanted to pick out a set of clothes for Grandpa Gu.

The shopkeeper was very observant. He led Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu in and helped them decide which clothes looked good, leaving only Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng outside. Gu Wencheng turned his head and smiled. He said casually, “Will we be like this when we’re old?”

Meng Nianyao was speechless. She did not answer.

On the other side, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu quickly finished choosing their things and came out. The two of them made up again. Grandma Gu held Grandpa Gu’s arm with one hand and Meng Nianyao’s with the other as they chatted.

Meng Nianyao listened attentively and felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.

Grandma talked mostly about Gu Wencheng’s embarrassing incidents since he was young. They wee quite interesting—before he went abroad at the age of 18, he went out drinking with his friends. When he came back drunk, he would hold the cat at home and nag about this and that…Meng Nianyao suddenly had an image in her mind, and then she unconsciously looked at Gu Wencheng.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wencheng also happened to look over. The corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful smile. Meng Nianyao heard her heart thump twice and quickly turned her head to hide her panic.

After walking for about half an hour, Grandma Gu could not walk anymore, so Gu Wencheng called the driver to pick them up.

Grandma Gu asked directly, “Where’s your car?”

“In the parking lot. Why?”

“Then don’t ask the chauffeur to come over.” Grandma Gu looked at Meng Nianyao with a smile and said, “You and Nianyao can send us home. Your grandfather and I will treat you to a meal.”

Grandma Gu wanted Meng Nianyao to come home, but she was afraid that Nianyao would reject her.

Gu Wencheng had no objections to this and turned to Meng Nianyao. “Can I?”

Meng Nianyao couldn’t reject the three of them and could only nod. “Alright..”
