"Sister Ran, you've taken a liking to her?"

Hearing Song Nian's voice, Su Ran finally came to her senses and looked at the stall in front of her. The items on display were unremarkable.

She shook her head slightly, then looked up at Song Nian, "No, you guys take the lead and show us around."

Her head was throbbing, and she didn't know what was wrong with her; she would often drift off into a daze.

Song Nian nodded in agreement and walked ahead with Wen Wen. Su Ran originally wanted to let go of Ruan Ruan's hand, worried that the little girl would get too hot.

As a result, the soft hand grasped her little finger. The soft hand was only about 1.6m long, so Su Ran looked down when she felt this movement.

I saw Ruan Ruan blinking her big, watery eyes, like a little animal that had been abandoned.

Then a soft voice was heard, "Is Sister Ran hot? Then I'll just hold one of Sister Ran's fingers."

Su Ran smiled and let Ruan Ruan hold her little finger without pulling her hand back. Ruan Ruan's lips curled up, and her steps became lighter.

Keeping up with Song Nian and Wen Wen's pace, Ruan Ruan looked around, and Su Ran couldn't help but ponder as she observed Song Nian's professional demeanor.

Lin Ruanruan had been watching Su Ran's expression closely. Seeing that Sister Ran seemed quite puzzled by Song Nian, she moved closer and said softly, "Sister Ran, Brother Nian's family started out in the antique business."

When Su Ran heard the soft voice, she had previously guessed that Song Nian's family must have some connection with antiques.

Song Nian has put away his playful mood and is now more serious. Su Ran has met many people like this, maintaining a serious attitude in their favorite industries and hobbies.

That's a rare quality, the soft voice continued, "I think Grandpa Song is really amazing! He can tell the real from the fake at a glance!"

Su Ran turned her head to look at Lin Ruanruan, her little mouth talking nonstop. Listening to Ruanruan's words, she nodded and agreed with her from time to time.

As the two were talking, Song Nian stopped at a shop, then went up to speak and was led inside. Su Ran and the others were also invited inside.

Then the person in front led the four of them around, and Lin Ruanruan pressed herself even closer to Su Ran. After all, the dark passageway, with only an old-fashioned chandelier hanging overhead, really gave off a creepy feeling.

Then the person in front pushed open a small room and gestured for them to enter. The group then stepped inside.

Su Ran looked around at the room's decor. It was very simple, with a few tea tables and chairs. An old man was sitting on one of the chairs. He was wearing a Tang suit, and his long beard gave him a somewhat otherworldly air.

A teacup sat upside down on a tray on the table, with a few copper coins casually tossed aside. The old man leaned back in his chair, glancing up briefly when someone arrived before closing his eyes again.

Song Nianxian bowed respectfully and said, "Grandpa."

The old man nodded and casually pointed to a seat for them to sit in the back. Su Ran originally thought he was just an expert in antiques, but she didn't expect him to be Song Nian's grandfather, whom Ruan Ruan had mentioned before.

Song Nian arranged the seats, and Su Ran sat down with Ruan Ruan. Ruan Ruan then let go of Su Ran's hand, and Su Ran sat calmly in her seat, quite curious about the guests that Grandpa Song would be welcoming next.

After entering the store, we were led into a passageway and wandered around inside, which shows that this place is very mysterious.

The person receiving them is either a mystery figure or someone who can't openly display the goods they want to see.

The old man remained calm. Since no guests had arrived yet, he chatted with Song Nian about everyday matters, but his tone revealed a hint of impatience. "Didn't I tell you to bring fewer friends?"

Song Nian awkwardly touched his nose. After all, this kind of situation often happened, so he just let his grandfather's words go in one ear and out the other.

After all, his grandfather had never spoken about him privately, so Song Nian often brought his friends over.

However, he always gets scolded every time he comes. Song Nian laughed and said, "Grandpa, isn't this an acquaintance? It's nothing. We've known each other for a long time."

Grandpa Song's expression was unreadable. He glanced at Wen Wen and Lin Ruanruan, then looked at Su Ran.

Su Ran wasn't afraid at all. She smiled slightly, met Grandpa Song Nian's gaze, and nodded slightly to show her respect.

Grandpa Song snorted and turned his head away, but his tone was not as dissatisfied as before. However, there was still a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he said, "The people you brought this time are smarter than the group from last time."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Song Nian didn't dare to say anything, after all, he knew his grandfather's temper very well.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not as warm as before, Wen Wen stood up and bowed slightly to Grandpa Song Nian, "Grandpa Song."

Grandpa Song nodded gently.

Seeing that Grandpa Song was not as bad as before, Lin Ruanruan dared to greet him.

Following Wen Wen's movements, she bent over, her eyebrows and eyes curved, her voice soft and sweet but revealing a hint of seriousness, "Hello, Grandpa Song."

Hearing Ruan Ruan's soft voice, Grandpa Song nodded, his face full of smiles. "Ruan Ruan, come to our house to play more often. Your Grandma Song likes you the most."

Lin Ruanruan replied with a sweet smile, "I also really like Grandma Song! Grandma Song's peach blossom pastries are absolutely delicious!"

Grandpa Song shook his head with a smile and sighed softly, "When your Grandma Song hears that she's not even as good as the peach blossom pastry, she'll start nagging me again!"

Ruan Ruan shook her head frantically, explaining, "That's not it! I really miss Grandma Song. Grandma Song is more important than peach blossom cakes!"

Seeing Grandpa Song's stern face, she said anxiously, "I'm telling the truth!"

Seeing Lin Ruanruan's nervous expression, Su Ran couldn't help but smile.

Grandpa Song also said with a smile, "Look how anxious our little girl is. I know you love your Grandma Song the most."

Grandpa Song had barely finished speaking when he changed the subject, looking at Su Ran, "Little Nian, why don't you introduce our friends?"

The scene was somewhat stunned. Wen Wen and Song Nian knew their grandfather's temper; he was generally too lazy to pay attention to the friends he used to bring, and everyone he met said that Fu Rongzhi was better.

This was the first time the two had ever seen someone take the initiative to introduce them. Ruan Ruan was smiling like a 200-pound fool. She knew that Sister Ran was the best!

When we played board games before, Ruanruan thought that Sister Ran had a great personality. She seemed so cool and chatted with them, and they all treated her with great respect!

While Song Nian was stunned, Grandpa Song glared at him with sharp eyes, "You brat, what's wrong? You don't listen to your grandpa anymore? You've grown wings?"

He then came to his senses, smiled and waved to his grandfather, saying, "No, Grandpa, how could I not listen to you? This is our friend, Su Ran."

The old man turned around and looked at Su Ran with a scrutinizing gaze.

After all, this girl's face didn't match any of the families they knew.
