"Come in, don't be shy with Grandma."

Since the old man had already said so much, Xia Hong couldn't be coy anymore.

All of this unfolded exactly as Minister Gu had predicted, without the slightest deviation.

Xia Hong was led into the house by Grandma Hui's hand. As for Minister Gu:

"Grandma Hui, I'm going back to my room to make a phone call."

Knowing that her children were all capable and busy, Grandma Hui nodded and said, "Go ahead."

However, it seems that only Editor-in-Chief Xia didn't realize that the old man and the young man were exchanging glances.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your cat and make sure she doesn't run away!"

"Okay, then thank you, Grandma Hui. She's going to be my future wife. Without her, I'll be a bachelor for life!"

"Go away, what are you saying? Get out of here, I don't want to see you."

Gu Ziling then went upstairs. Xia Hong, on the other hand, felt much more relaxed after seeing the man's departing figure. She no longer had to suppress her breathing, which became slightly heavier.

"Xiaxia, right? Tell Grandma Hui what you like to eat, and Grandma will make it for you in a bit."

Xia Hong couldn't bear to let such an elderly woman cook for her: "Ah? No, no, no, Grandma Hui, please don't trouble yourself. How could we let you cook?"

“I live here all by myself. What will you eat if I don’t cook? Don’t worry, Grandma is in good health.”

As Grandma Hui spoke, she even made some gestures.

Xia Hong smiled as she watched, "Let me do it." She really couldn't bear to do it.

Grandma Hui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then Xiaxia can do it."

It doesn't matter who does it, and if Xiaxia does it, the second young master will definitely eat two more bowls today, right?

So who says people get boring when they get old?

And so, they're secretly creating all sorts of opportunities for the two young people.

It was indeed getting late; it was almost eleven o'clock.

Xia Hong was already feeling a bit awkward, so she stood up and said, "Grandma Hui, where's the kitchen? I'll go cook."

"The kitchen? This way, this way, I'll take you there."

"Okay, Grandma, take it easy."

Upstairs, Gu Ziling didn't close the door and kept an eye on the situation downstairs.

Yes, mainly to prevent a cat from escaping.

Listening to the two discussing cooking, Minister Gu's smile deepened, and his voice softened considerably as he spoke on the phone.

This startled the secretary who was reporting on her work on the other end of the phone, almost to the point of being unable to speak clearly.

When has our minister ever been so gentle?

Could it be that I made a mistake?

Are you trying to fire yourself?

The secretary was so frightened on the other end of the phone that her legs were shaking, but she still tried to remain calm and continued to report the news.

Minister Gu was oblivious to this. In the past, he would have sensed it immediately, but today, Minister Gu was also in a state of turmoil and excitement, so how could he pay attention to others?

"Okay, that's settled then. Proceed according to plan, and don't bother me these next few days."

"ah?"

What if there's an emergency?

"Don't bother me with anything, no matter how important it is, understand?"

"Understood, Minister. Don't worry, I will try my best to postpone it."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

.........

I finally caught that cat, so I shouldn't bother myself with anything else these days.

Minister Gu plans to train the cat properly during this period.

cough.

I wonder what Editor-in-Chief Xia would think if he knew he had been compared to a cat.

I'm afraid it would be so angry that it would bite someone.

You're the cat!

My whole family are cats!
