Chapter 698: Chapter 699: The Gaze Too Intense
That was already a pretty stern statent.
Du Jinruo also struggled to maintain her composure, her eyes reddening slightly as she said hoarsely to Old ng, “Grandfather, my foot hurts a little, you go ahead first, I’ll go see a doctor.”
“Miss Du, I rember telling you before that he is my grandfather, not yours. If you need to address him, please add the surna. Otherwise, it seems too intimate, and others might really think we are siblings!”
ng Xinian said without any expression.
“You kid…” Old ng’s face also showed he couldn’t quite keep up appearances. Seeing Du Jinruo’s reddened eyes, he wanted to give her a way out, but when he saw Chiang Xiao nearby, the words to scold ng Xinian just couldn’t co out.
Chiang Xiao’s eyes were too clear, everything was written there.
Old ng could also tell, she didn’t like the notion of them as siblings.
Hmm, at this mont, Old ng guiltily thought, he wasn’t a good man after all, and of course he could only choose to stand on the side of his own people first. If the granddaughter-in-law didn’t like it, of course he couldn’t keep talking!
No matter how good Xiao Du was, she was still an outsider.
In terms of closeness, of course, the granddaughter-in-law was closer.
He could only apologize to Xiao Du then.
So, with guilt in his heart, Old ng’s gaze flickered, too embarrassed to et Du Jinruo’s eyes again.
Du Jinruo also had her pride, and couldn’t take it anymore. She turned her head and ran away.
Old ng watched her retreating back and murmured, “It looks like Xiao Du’s foot is not that bad after all.” She had just said her foot was hurting and she wanted to see a doctor, but can you run that fast with a sore foot?
Pfft.
Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Suddenly, she thought the old man was quite adorable.
Although she was quite angry with Old ng’s behavior before.
Seeing her laugh, Old ng imdiately put Du Jinruo out of his mind and pulled Chiang Xiao along, repeatedly saying, “Granddaughter-in-law, it wasn’t appropriate to call you that with so many people around earlier. Don’t be mad at Grandpa, okay? When did you get here? How co this kid didn’t ntion it? You’re even more handso than I imagined, it’s a bit of a loss to be matched with Xinian, this lad! But it’s alright, if this boy ever bullies you in the future, Grandpa will stand by your side and support you, how about that?”
He said all this in one breath, leaving Chiang Xiao a bit overwheld.
ng Xinian, on the other hand, sighed, “Old man, what are you joking about? Can I bully her?”
It would be more accurate to say Chiang Xiaoxiao bullied him.
He almost died from her tornt last ti.
For the first ti in his life, he understood that ntal tornt could indeed kill a person.
Chiang Xiao gave him a sidelong glance.
Hmph.
ng Xinian watched her clear, limpid eyes and felt an itchy feeling in his heart, filled with an indescribable sentint.
In the end, he could only reach out and tousle her hair.
He had not expected her to co.
But he guessed she must have received a notification from Chu Liang, was worried about him, and so she didn’t hesitate to rush over.
From G Province to Capital City, such a long distance, and she ca all the way because she was worried about him.
This girl, this girl, how could she make him like her so much?
Chiang Xiao suddenly felt the warmth of ng Xinian’s gaze was too intense, making it hard for her to sustain it. Her heartbeat skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her gaze.
“Granddaughter-in-law, are you hungry? Co on, Grandpa will take you to eat! I’ll take you to eat the most famous roast duck in Capital City, how about that?”
Along the way, Old ng kept talking to Chiang Xiao, giving ng Xinian hardly any chances to interject.
