With a "thud," Lü Dan withdrew her hand that had just tapped Li Jianchuan on the head: "How old are you? Can't you be more reliable!"
Bai Zhenhao, being very perceptive, grabbed a broom and swept away the debris on the ground.
"Hmph." Li Jianchuan didn't reply. He didn't think he was wrong. After all, his granddaughter was so cute, wasn't that just human nature?
Seeing the old man's attitude, Lü Dan didn't bother to scold him anymore. She then went upstairs to get a scarf and put it around Bai Yueyue's neck. Bai Yueyue didn't really like wearing scarves and hesitated whether to take it off, but then she heard Lü Dan's concerned voice say, "Honey, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Waaah, Grandma, I'm not afraid of the cold anymore!
However, given Lü Dan's tone of inquiry, Bai Yueyue couldn't refuse. Fortunately, Lü Dan had excellent taste, and the red scarf suited Bai Yueyue very well.
Li Jianchuan, who was listening nearby, suddenly realized what was going on and immediately stepped forward to examine Bai Yueyue closely.
Calm down. This is her grandfather, not a pervert. She can't just punch him away. Bai Yueyue used magic to control her impulse.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my outfit?" Bai Yueyue asked with a puzzled expression. Although she was very assertive, she trusted Li Jieyue's aesthetic sense, and this outfit suited her very well.
“No, you’re not wearing enough. Look, you’re not even wearing pants in the middle of winter,” Li Jianchuan said seriously.
Grandpa, do you know that it's very impolite of you to say that to a lady?
"No, I'm not cold at all with Grandma's scarf. Besides, I'm wearing pants, and these leg warmers on my legs are actually quite thick." Bai Yueyue was telling the truth; the sheer tights on her legs were much thicker than Bai Shenxing's pants. How could Li Jieyue let her daughter get cold?
"no……"
"Grandpa, if you keep doing this, I'll hate you the most!" Bai Yueyue was getting annoyed. She knew very well that Li Jianchuan wanted to dress her up in other clothes like Lü Dan did, but according to Li Jianchuan's aesthetic sense, she would most likely end up looking like a country girl.
A critical hit, an unstoppable, fatal blow! Bai Yueyue's "I hate you the most" instantly shut Li Jianchuan up.
Accompanied by the sympathetic gazes of Bai Zhenhao and Bai Shenxing, Lü Dan pulled Li Jianchuan into the car.
During the Spring Festival, Bai Zhenhao also gave his driver a holiday, so Bai Zhenhao himself acted as the driver, and he chose one of the many vehicles in the garage, a minivan.
As for why there are so many cars, it's naturally because of Bai Yueyue's second brother, Bai Ruo. Bai Ruo loves cars, so many of the cars in the garage were bought by him. However, since Bai Ruo rarely goes home now, many of them are covered in dust.
What a waste! Hmm, once I—I mean, when I come of age—I'll take care of you all! Hahaha!
"By the way, Mom, where are we going?" Bai Yueyue asked Li Jieyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Usually, their family wouldn't go out to visit relatives so soon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Yes, a grandpa's kid whom you haven't met yet came back. They held a welcome party, and since they invited us, we naturally had to go," Li Jieyue replied while selecting her favorite songs.
Ignoring Li Jianchuan's envious and jealous expression, Lü Dan, sitting next to Bai Yueyue, explained, "That's why your grandfather and I came early. After all, we have a very good relationship with him. It's just that he hasn't been in good health these past few years and has been recuperating away from home, so we haven't had a chance to take you to see him."
"Then I probably don't need to go. They probably don't even know I exist," Bai Yueyue replied, clearly annoyed by the hassle. Since she hadn't even met them, wouldn't it be better to just stay home and play games?
“Although I don’t really want you to go, the other person has helped you a lot, so you must go and say hello to them.” Li Jieyue, who had chosen the music, looked worried that Bai Yueyue might cause trouble. “So when you get there, you must act like an elegant and dignified lady!”
Dear Mother, but I'm a boy...
"Okay," Bai Yueyue didn't dare to disobey Li Jieyue now. Others were just joking, but Li Jieyue was serious. "So who is the other party?"
“That old man’s son is currently the mayor of Asia City,” Lu Dan earnestly reminded Bai Yueyue. “Moreover, the old man was a soldier who fought in battle when he was young, and he has a lot of military achievements. So Yueyue, you need to be polite and behave well when you get there.”
"Ah, Uncle Qin's house." Bai Yueyue suddenly realized. She had met Qin Limin, the mayor of Ya City, a few times, but she didn't think she had ever met his father and son. "But Uncle Qin should know I'm a boy, right? It probably wouldn't be appropriate for me to go like this?"
“That’s true.” Li Jieyue was also very troubled. Bai Yueyue’s failure to turn back into a boy was indeed not in the plan. “However, we had talked to them before, and they knew that you would turn into a girl. That’s why no one came knocking on your door for what you’ve been doing in the city these past few months. Today’s visit is just to let you show your face a little, to let those who don’t know you get to know you, and let them know who’s behind you.”
If we want to minimize the troubles for Bai Yueyue after she fully becomes a girl, then her appearance this time is quite necessary.
Ah, is that so? Why does it sound like I've caused a lot of trouble? Hmm, I'm clearly a friendly neighbor. As for Qin Limin, Bai Yueyue only knows that he seems quite friendly, so she's not really against meeting him this time.
Half an hour later, Bai Yueyue and her group arrived at a hotel. While in the car, Bai Yueyue looked around through the window. The hotel didn't look very luxurious, which was in line with Qin Limin's character.
"Oh, Uncle Li and Aunt Lü are here." To welcome Li Jianchuan and Lü Dan, Qin Limin personally came out of the garage to greet them.
"Hmm, where's Old Man Qin?" Li Jianchuan replied indifferently. This surprised Bai Yueyue. Was this detached and unmoved demeanor typical of her grandfather?
"Ah, Father is still upstairs. Uncle Li, as you know, Father is not in good health, so I'm here to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me, Uncle Li," Qin Limin replied apologetically.
"Yeah, never mind, it's been so long since we last saw each other."
"No, Uncle Li, Father misses you very much. He often says you're his good brother." Qin Limin's words pleased Li Jianchuan, who nodded gently.
Seeing this, Lü Dan immediately stepped forward with a kind smile and said, "Never mind this old man. He's just missing his good brother because he hasn't seen him in a long time. Yueyue, give the things to Limin."
After Bai Zhenhao instructed Bai Yueyue to shield the surrounding instruments, he then had Bai Yueyue take a gift box and hand it to Qin Limin.
“Knowing that you and Lao Qin love tea, this was specially brought from out of town by the old man,” Lü Dan said.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Li." Qin Limin happily accepted the gift box from Bai Yueyue. "This must be Yueyue. She really is just like the legend."
Legend has it... well, I've become a legend too.
"Uncle Qin, it's been a long time," Bai Yueyue said with a sweet smile after performing the proper greeting as Li Jieyue had instructed. "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
