Seeing how frightened Shen Siyao was, Bo Jingcheng felt a pang of pity and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Siyao, don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let Grandpa hurt you in the slightest."
Even so, his brows remained furrowed, clearly troubled by this difficult situation.
After a moment's thought, Bo Jingcheng said, "I think we should do this: tonight I'll take Xuanxuan back to the old house and try to keep Grandpa calm. We'll just say that Xinyue went on a trip. As for what happened at the company, we'll keep it from Grandpa for now."
Shen Siyao bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with worry: "Jingcheng, can you handle it? The old man is so stubborn, what if he asks about you and Jiang Xinyue..."
Bo Jingcheng smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I know Jiang Xinyue. She knows that Grandpa's health has been poor these past two years and he can't handle any stress, so she will definitely not mention divorce."
Even so, Bo Jingcheng couldn't help but call Jiang Xinyue.
After a brief dial tone, Jiang Xinyue's cool voice came through the receiver: "What's up?"
Bo Jingcheng took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calm: "Xinyue, Grandpa misses Xuanxuan. I'll take Xuanxuan back to the old house tonight. You know Grandpa's temper. I told him you're on vacation and I hope you can cooperate and not bring up divorce at this time. Grandpa's health isn't good, and he can't handle the shock."
Jiang Xinyue was silent for a moment, then sneered, "What, now you know you're worried about Grandpa? When you were entangled with Shen Siyao, why didn't you think about all this?"
Bo Jingcheng frowned slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Xinyue, do you really have to argue with me about these things now? The most important thing right now is to appease Grandpa. We can talk about other things later, okay?"
Jiang Xinyue snorted coldly, said nothing, and simply hung up the phone.
"Hey, Jiang Xinyue..."
Bo Jingcheng looked at the phone that had been hung up, and his handsome face immediately turned ugly.
When he called back, he found that the other party had blocked him.
At this moment, Bo Jingcheng's handsome face was extremely ugly.
"Jingcheng, what did Jiang Xinyue say?"
"Never mind her," Bo Jingcheng said irritably. "I can handle it even without her."
Inside the apartment, not long after Jiang Xinyue hung up the phone, Old Master Bo called.
She hesitated for a moment, but still chose to answer the phone.
"Hey, Grandpa."
"Xinyue! I heard from Jingcheng that you've been on a business trip recently? Is that true?"
The old man's voice came through the phone, offering his condolences.
"Grandpa, I..." Jiang Xinyue opened her mouth, just about to answer.
Grandpa Bo spoke first, "Xinyue, all these years, you've given up your career for Jingcheng, Grandpa knows that. You two... did you have a fight?"
"Grandpa, don't overthink it." Jiang Xinyue felt a lump in her throat when she heard what Grandpa Bo said, and she tried her best to control her emotions.
"Xinyue, don't lie to your grandpa. I know my grandson best. Has Shen Siyao returned?"
Jiang Xinyue remained silent.
"Xinyue, don't worry. Go back to the old house tonight, and Grandpa will definitely stand up for you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue quickly said, "Grandpa, no need, I'll go with Bo Jingcheng..."
Before Jiang Xinyue could finish speaking, Old Master Bo coughed on the phone, "Xinyue, do you want to anger me to death too?"
Jiang Xinyue couldn't bear it any longer and didn't continue. She sighed and said, "Okay, Grandpa, don't worry, I'll go back tonight."
Bo Jingcheng picked up Xuanxuan from the kindergarten. The little guy excitedly rushed over to his father, "Dad, why are you picking me up today? Where is Aunt Siyao?"
Bo Jingcheng smiled and patted his son's head: "Xuanxuan, your Aunt Siyao has moved out."
Upon hearing this, Bo Xuan pouted in dissatisfaction: "Why? Did Mommy do this? Did she make Aunt Siyao leave?"
Bo Jingcheng's expression changed slightly. "It has nothing to do with your mother. I made her move out. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't have come back."
Bo Xuan pouted, looking dissatisfied, and said, "If you don't want to come back, then don't come back! At worst, I'll have Aunt Siyao be my mommy."
Bo Jingcheng changed the subject: "Alright, your great-grandfather misses you. Let's go back to the old house together tonight."
Upon hearing this, Bo Xuan's eyes lit up. "Dad, will Aunt Siyao come back with us?"
Bo Jingcheng shook his head. "Your great-grandfather doesn't know that Siyao is back yet. Let's not tell him for now."
"Alright then!" Bo Xuan's round eyes showed disappointment, then he asked, "Will Mommy go back?"
"No." Bo Jingcheng felt a surge of anger in his heart when he thought about Jiang Xinyue's attitude towards him these past few days, but he had no way to vent it.
Upon hearing this, Bo Xuan clapped his hands and cheered, "Yay! I'm so happy that Mommy isn't watching over me anymore."
In the evening, Bo Jingcheng brought Bo Xuan to the old Bo family residence.
Upon entering, one could see Old Master Bo sitting on the sofa in the living room, his face gloomy.
“Grandpa, we’re back.” Bo Jingcheng stepped forward and said respectfully.
“Great-grandfather…” Bo Xuan ran over with a smile and threw himself into the arms of the old man.
When Grandpa Bo saw Xuanxuan, his expression softened considerably. He reached out and hugged him on his lap, saying, "My dear great-grandson, your great-grandfather has missed you so much."
"Grandpa, Xuanxuan misses you too." Bo Xuan gave Grandpa Bo a kiss on the cheek, making Grandpa Bo laugh heartily.
When Bo Jingcheng saw how quick-witted Bo Xuan was, making the old man laugh with just a few words, he immediately gave him a silent thumbs up.
No wonder he's his son; his intelligence must have come from him.
"Why is it just you who's back? Where's Xinyue?"
Old Master Bo's gaze fell on Bo Jingcheng, his face exuding an imposing aura despite his lack of anger.
"Grandpa, didn't I tell you? Xinyue is away on a business trip, so..."
Bo Jingcheng gave an awkward smile and explained anxiously.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
The maid immediately went to open the door, and then her joyful voice rang out, "Young Madam..."
Upon hearing the address "Young Madam," Bo Jingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up inside him.
Jiang Xinyue walked in, wearing a white knee-length dress, her hair casually tied back, looking fresh and elegant, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Wife, why are you back?" Bo Jingcheng feigned surprise, quickly stepped forward, took her arm, and winked at her.
"Honey, how could you lie to Grandpa? I'm perfectly fine, when did I go on a business trip? Have you forgotten that I've been a full-time housewife for five years?"
Jiang Xinyue smiled faintly, deliberately blinking her innocent eyes as she looked at Bo Jingcheng, who was acting with her.
Since he's going to put on an act, she might as well play along.
