Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 565: Phone

Shen Siyuan’s mom originally planned to invite Jiang Yingxue to Sea Breeze Restaurant for dinner tonight.

But with so many people suddenly showing up, going to Sea Breeze Restaurant was out of the question, so she’ll have to look for another opportunity next ti.

"Did the old man go back?"

Since Shen Jianjun arrived, this was the first ti the two had a chance to chat alone.

Shen Jianjun sighed and said, "He’s already gone. Before leaving, he even wanted to see you once more."

"He left just like that?" Shen Siyuan slightly frowned, a bit surprised in his heart.

He thought Shen Guanchao would stay for a long ti this ti.

"Do you really dislike your grandpa that much?" Shen Jianjun seed a bit helpless.

"I don’t dislike him," Shen Siyuan said.

Before Shen Jianjun could be happy, Shen Siyuan continued, "Nor do I like him."

"I can’t think of anything about him that I could like."

"Oh, you, your grandma has let it go, why can’t you?"

"Grandma let it go because she’s kind-hearted, but as for you... tsk..."

Shen Siyuan looked at him and shook his head disdainfully.

Seeing his expression, Shen Jianjun felt his temples throbbing.

"You don’t understand..."

"I don’t need to understand. You have your thoughts, and I have mine. I don’t try to persuade you, and you shouldn’t try to persuade either," Shen Siyuan insisted.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about him. What’s going on between you and Miss Jiang?"

Shen Siyuan: ...

You’re just looking for a reason to get back at , aren’t you?

...

-----------------

"Grandma, are you awake?"

Taozi was going back to see Grandma, so she naturally needed to let her know in advance. After dinner, she called her aunt’s phone.

"Not yet, I’m watching TV."

"Don’t watch TV for too long; you need more rest."

"I’m resting every day to the point of boredom, and right now is just the perfect age for watching TV," Grandma said with a bit of defiance.

Taozi was montarily speechless, finding Grandma’s reasoning quite sound.

"I’m just worried that your body can’t handle it," Taozi said, feeling a bit helpless.

"Ever since you and Xiao Shen visited , my health has been excellent. By the way, is Xiao Shen with you? Please thank him properly for ," Grandma said with a cheerful laugh.

Although she was thanking Shen Siyuan, she was actually trying to find out if he was with her.

"Hmm, I know. Tomorrow, Shen Siyuan and I will co back to see you. Are you and Auntie in Coconut City or Bin Hai now?" Taozi asked.

Grandma Taozi was overjoyed when she heard this. She originally intended to covertly inquire about their relationship and now it seed the relationship was already confird.

"Have you managed to snag him?" Grandma Taozi excitedly stumbled over her words.

"Grandma~"

Taozi called out shyly, what’s with saying I managed to snag him, clearly, he’s the one who snagged , isn’t it?

Although Taozi didn’t admit it, Grandma could easily guess from her tone.

"Good, good... Tomorrow, I’ll have your aunt prepare sothing delicious for you," Grandma said happily.

"You still haven’t told where you are right now?"

"Bin Hai. Since I ca back from Coconut City last ti, I haven’t gone anywhere else," Grandma quickly said.

Grandma Taozi usually alternated between living in Coconut City, Lishui, and Bin Hai.

But this ti, she stayed in Bin Hai, waiting for news from Taozi.

"That’s perfect. Then we’ll co to see you tomorrow," Taozi quickly said.

"Okay, I’ll be waiting for you. By the way... Dou Dou..."

The last two words were noticeably spoken in a lowered voice.

"I’ll ntion it to Siyuan and bring Dou Dou along as well," Taozi replied.

"Good... good... She hasn’t visited in so long, yet she says she misses . I’ll give her a little smack when I see her, hehe..."

Grandma Taozi seed to be in an especially good mood.

"Tell Auntie not to prepare anything for tomorrow; I’ll take you out for a bit," Taozi imdiately added.

Grandma Taozi initially wanted to refuse but then thought that perhaps Taozi had sothing to discuss with her that she didn’t want Auntie to know.

So she said, "Alright, I’ll follow your arrangents for tomorrow then."

"It’s settled then, bye Grandma," Taozi’s voice was filled with joy.

"Wait, don’t rush off, Grandma has a few more questions for you."

"Uh... can’t we talk tomorrow?"

"It wouldn’t be convenient with Xiao Shen there tomorrow."

"Alright then, what do you want to ask, Grandma?"

"Is Xiao Shen beside you?"

"No."

"What about Miss Ruan?"

"She’s not here either."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Taozi started to ask questions.

"Is Xiao Shen treating you well?"

"Has Miss Ruan been bullying you, giving you attitude, or throwing tantrums at you?"

"When you argue, which side does Xiao Shen take?"

...

Taozi: ...

Grandma asked a lot of questions, and Taozi felt both helpless and touched.

"Our relationship is very good; none of those things you ntioned are happening."

"That’s good. Grandma hopes... hopes you’ll be happy and not force yourself," Grandma said thoughtfully.

But after saying this, she felt she was being sowhat hypocritical.

Did she really only support Taozi and Shen Siyuan’s relationship for Taozi’s happiness? She didn’t even believe it herself.

"I understand, thank you, Grandma. I’m hanging up now," Taozi said.

She naturally understood the aning behind her grandma’s words.

"Alright then, make sure you get so rest soon."

Grandma said, but she didn’t hang up until she heard Taozi end the call, and only then did she lower the phone from her ear.

She then let out a deep sigh.

Actually, Taozi had considered these thoughts herself. Her agreent with Ruan Hongzhuang’s request wasn’t just because of Shen Siyuan’s extraordinariness, was it? Was it because she admired strength and wanted to gain extraordinary benefits from Shen Siyuan?

There was definitely so of that. After all, she’s not a saint; how could she not have personal motives? Including Ruan Hongzhuang, if she were to ask herself, she’d surely have similar thoughts.

But the main reason was still affection. Shen Siyuan wasn’t just handso but also had a good personality; there was a special charm about him, and all of his other traits were outstanding.

n like beautiful won, and naturally, won like handso n too.

Thinking of this, Taozi blushed quietly.

She clasped her hands behind her, awkwardly pacing in place.

"Have you finished the call?"

Just then, a voice suddenly asked from behind her.

Taozi jerked in fright, turned around to see it was Shen Siyuan, and said with a touch of annoyance, "Why do you walk so quietly? Almost scared to death!"

Shen Siyuan looked at her with a bit of amusent.

"What did Grandma say to you? Look at your blushing face."

"Wha... What blush..." Taozi insisted stubbornly.

At that mont, her cheeks were as red as apples.

Shen Siyuan found it quite amusing but didn’t continue probing, instead saying, "Did you make arrangents with Grandma?"

"Yes, she has been in Bin Hai since coming back from Coconut City, so we’ll go over there tomorrow morning," Taozi said as she talked about serious matters, and the shyness slowly faded away.

"Alright, then tomorrow you take charge of the arrangents."

"Hmm, oh right, Grandma ntioned she misses Dou Dou, so can we bring Dou Dou along tomorrow?"

"Of course, no problem," Shen Siyuan readily agreed.

Upon hearing this, Taozi’s face lit up with a radiant smile; she was in an extrely joyful mood.

If it weren’t for all the people in the living room, she would have rushed over to hug him.
