"..."
Qiu Hu didn't know how to answer, and Ning Yizhan didn't dare to answer casually. "Grandpa, I'll listen to A-Hu on this matter. We'll get married whenever A-Hu says we should."
This grandson-in-law is quite something. "Oh, I see. So, what does Ah-Hu think?"
Qiu Hu suspected that Ning Yizhan was doing this on purpose, throwing the question at her. But before she could think of how to answer the old man, Ning Yizhan came to her rescue, "Grandpa, don't worry, I haven't proposed to Ahu yet. Everything is in the process of preparation. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."
"That's okay, that's okay."
Qiu Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three chatted for a long time before Qiu Lan returned.
"Grandpa, I'm back! Sister, you're here too!" Qiu Lan had been staying at home recently because A Yi told her that things were not peaceful in Jin Yin Bay lately and that she shouldn't come back yet. So she went back to the old house to stay with the old man and just got back from her business trip.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Qiuhu as soon as I got back, even though Ning Yizhan was with me.
"Yeah, you've been doing well lately?"
"She's fine," her older sister said with concern. "Where's your sister?"
"I'm fine too."
At lunchtime, the old man watched Ning Yizhan skillfully pick up vegetables and peel them for Qiu Hu, and he was very satisfied. Qiu Lan was also satisfied with his actions.
Today, the old man specially instructed the kitchen to prepare two dishes that Qiu Hu liked that required peeling, just to see if his future grandson-in-law would be able to help. Unexpectedly, he did them so skillfully.
After lunch, Ning Yizhan played a few games of chess with his grandfather. He heard from his grandfather that both he and Grandpa Qiu enjoyed playing chess, and that his chess skills were quite good thanks to his matches with Grandpa Ning over the years.
Qiu Lan pulled Qiu Hu to the front of the garden to chat. Qiu Hu stammered and didn't know what she wanted to say. In the end, the words she was about to say didn't come out. "Sister, have you finished your work lately?" Qiu Lan wasn't stupid. Although she didn't know exactly what Qiu Hu was busy with, it must be something important.
"Let's not rush for now. Is there anything else you want to say?" Qiu Hu must have something he wanted to ask, otherwise he wouldn't have called her out to talk.
Qiu Hu guessed what she was thinking, and then told her everything, "I, I think I've recently fallen for someone. He even confessed to me recently, but now I know my situation, I'm not right for him."
"Actor Ai confessed his feelings to you? You've fallen for him too?"
"How did you know?" she asked in surprise. How could Qiu Hu have known?
"I knew he liked you a long time ago, you were just slow to realize it."
"All right".
"So, did you say yes?"
"I refused!" Qiu Lan really felt that she was not right for him. "I don't know what to do now! He's been pursuing me lately! I can't possibly remain unmoved!"
Good heavens! Listening to Qiu Lan's description, Qiu Hu realized that Qiu Lan was practically asking him to give her an answer, or at least a suggestion.
What's wrong with her this year? Is she a relationship counselor?
"Whether you agree or not is up to you! Protecting yourself is the most important thing."
Qiu Hu did not give a substantial answer, reiterating that he did not want to get involved in other people's relationships.
Qiu Lan listened to these words and felt as if she had heard a profound truth.
The conversation didn't continue, and Qiu Lan told her many funny stories from filming, which made the two of them laugh from time to time.
Laughter from outside drifted into the house, and even Ning Yizhan heard it. "What are they talking about so happily?"
The usually quiet old house was finally filled with laughter today. Before leaving, Qiu Hu told the old man about the recent situation, and the old house will be filled with more and more laughter in the future.
Ning Yizhan helped Qiu Hu fasten her seatbelt and took the opportunity to lightly peck her lips, "Come home with me to meet my parents next time!"
"Well, you can arrange it as you see fit!" Qiu Hu was a little socially awkward. Even though she had been to his house many times, she was still socially awkward because they were so enthusiastic.
"Don't be nervous, you're always so nervous," Ning Yizhan said, gently rubbing her small hand. She always spoke very little when she came to his house, as if she was shy.
As the car drove along the road, Ning Yizhan glanced at the rearview mirror and thought, "Someone's following us!"
Qiu Hu glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed a black car following them from a distance. It seemed the most suspicious. "Hmm, that black car? I see it. I guess we went out today, and it's been following us."
"Let's go home first! I was planning to take you out."
Qiu Hu looked at his regretful expression and asked, "Where were you originally planning to go?"
"Outdoors, on the mountaintop, overnight," Ning Yizhan replied in a lazy, magnetic voice, his eyes filled with ambiguity.
Qiu Hu avoided his gaze and said bluntly, "...I don't want to go."
"You might like it!"
"No, definitely not."
They bickered all the way home. Ning Yizhan put his arm around her slender waist and stepped into the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors closed, Qiu Hu asked, "Didn't they follow us in?"
“No, they didn’t follow us in once we entered Guyue Garden.” Ning Yizhan lifted Qiu Hu’s chin. “Your husband is so powerful, how could they dare? Right? Ah Hu, you know best!”
"Flirtatious," Qiu Hu tried to slap his hand away, but he grabbed it and squeezed his chin even tighter, pushing him against the wall with his hand raised against it.
He stood very close to her, inhaling the sweet, delicate fragrance emanating from her neck with a bewitching allure. "Isn't it?"
"Ding!" The elevator stopped. Qiu Hu pushed his hand away. "We're here! Let's go back!"
"Okay, let's go home!" Ning Yizhan released her, and just when Qiu Hu thought she was about to be let go, the man picked her up and carried her away from the elevator.
He carried Qiu Hu into the house, placed her on the sofa chair by the entrance, knelt on one knee, looked up at her, radiating gentleness that softened her heart. "Do you know what Grandpa said to me today?"
"What did you say?"
"He told me to treat you well and talked about many things from when we were little. It turns out that Ah Hu was even cuter than I imagined when she was little."
She recalled many things from her childhood, many silly things. Puffing out one cheek, she glanced at Ning Yizhan's face and asked casually, "Grandpa, what did he say?"
"He said that Ah Hu was very kind and brave when he was a child. He helped his younger sister. He had already learned to fight when he was in kindergarten and his parents were called in. He went fishing with his grandfather. When his grandfather caught a fish, Ah Hu released it..."
Ning Yizhan talked a lot, recounting a whole host of embarrassing stories about Qiu Hu's childhood. Qiu Hu blushed as he talked, saying, "Alright, alright, stop talking. You know it yourself, I don't remember any of these things."
"Haha ...
After finishing these things, Ning Yizhan sat down next to her, took off his own shoes, and said slowly and lazily, "Grandpa also said..."
What did he say? He didn't say, and Qiu Hu, unable to guess, asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Ning Yizhan moved a little closer to her, placed his large hand on her lower back, and whispered in her ear, "I hope we can get married soon and give him a great-grandson."
