"I feel like your house isn't very safe. I'd better take my little cousin and leave."
Bai Mohua pulled Nuan Nuan up. Even though he didn't understand many things in life, he knew that families like this, where the mistress took over and there were children from the original wife, were generally not peaceful.
Su Ran glanced at him and said, "No need. My grandfather and I are the only ones living in this house. He and that woman bothered me so much that I kicked them out."
Bai Mo Hua——“!!” No...is there something wrong with this development?
"You... chased your father out?"
This guy is too fierce!
Su Ran nodded, her tone very calm, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of smile.
"I am the next heir of the Su family. This house has been passed on to me. I don't want them to live here, so I'll kick them out. It's too troublesome."
"Do you think I'm being too harsh?"
He tilted his head slightly and looked at the two of them. His dark eyes were like a deep well, one could not see the bottom. The young man was like an unfurled scroll, sitting there upright like a bamboo, and his every move revealed a beauty that was pleasing to the eye.
Just open your mouth.
Nuannuan's clean and clear eyes met the boy's eyes, and she spoke in a soft voice.
"If someone she doesn't like steals Nuan Nuan's things, she will get angry too."
But if she likes someone, she will take the initiative to give her things to him.
Bai Mohua nodded and was not in a hurry to leave. He was quite curious about this young man. No... to be exact, he was more curious about this weird gossip.
He looked at Su Ran with a strong desire for knowledge - "Will they be willing if you chase them out?"
Su Ran shook her head——"Of course I don't want to."
He didn't think it was a shameful or big deal, and he didn't show much affection for his father in his words.
"Grandpa said that this is my place, I can do whatever I want as long as I am happy. They always make me unhappy living here, so I naturally chased them out. If they don't want me to do that, I will let Xingyun scare them."
Nuannuan supported her delicate little chin and listened to them talking. She sat on a small stool and looked like a well-behaved little furry and soft animal. Su Ran suddenly wanted to feed her, just like he fed Xingyun.
It's just that this one is more coquettish.
Thinking of this, he did just that, picking up a piece of osmanthus cake and putting it close to the sweet little girl's mouth.
"Osmanthus cake, very delicious."
Nuannuan blinked her eyes, opened her little mouth and took a small bite of the snow-white cake dotted with some osmanthus honey. Then her beautiful and clean eyes curved up, sparkling and unusually smart.
When the little girl eats, her milky white cheeks bulge out, which really makes people want to pinch or poke them.
Su Ran stared at his bulging cheeks for a few seconds, and when Nuan Nuan opened her mouth to take the second bite, he actually raised his jade-like fingers and pressed lightly on her cheeks. Then, his seemingly calm eyes flashed with surprise.
So soft.
The little girl Nuan Nuan paused for a second after her cheek was poked. But she soon continued to eat as if nothing had happened. Since she was being fed, she...she didn't care.
Bai Mohua stood by with his eyes wide open, wondering how could he actually start fighting while talking like that?
"You don't have to feed me, my little cousin can eat by herself!"
Su Ran uttered an "oh" slowly, and then continued feeding.
Nuannuan sat there obediently. She would open her mouth and eat slowly almost anything that was put in front of her, like a snow-white, soft and docile little rabbit.
Bai Mohua——"…" He wanted to stop her, but seeing the little cousin eating softly, his hands started to itch. Then he took a piece of cake and fed her.
The little girl continued to eat, taking small bites of the pastry with her pink little mouth. Then she felt thirsty and stared at the teapot with her watery eyes. Before she could pour the tea herself, a pretty hand held the teapot, slowly poured a cup of fragrant tea into her hand.
Nuannuan held the still steaming teacup in her hands and thanked him in a soft voice.
"Thank you, Brother Su Ran."
So obedient and cute, Su Ran sighed a little sadly.
Is it really impossible to exchange a sister? If not, can I still raise one?
Of course, this was just his thought. Not to mention others, the person next to Nuannuan would definitely not allow it.
"Yes."
An old voice was heard outside. Su Ran stood up and opened the bamboo curtain in the pavilion. An energetic old man in Tang suit came in from outside.
He looked at the two young men and his grandson in the pavilion with a little surprise.
"You actually have guests here. This is really not easy. Hahaha..."
The old man had a white beard and a posture as straight as a pine tree. He had a kind look and a cheerful and carefree smile.
"Grandpa Su."
Bai Mohua stood up and called out respectfully. Although he had never seen Su Ran before, he certainly knew the old man in front of him.
"You are... from the Bai family? You have grown up so fast."
Although the two families are not far apart, children nowadays rarely see each other because they study and live in school dormitories.
"Hehe...Grandpa Su, you still remember me, this is my little cousin."
Nuan Nuan looked at the old man with her distinct black and white eyes, and said something in a soft and obedient voice.
"Hello, Grandpa Su."
It’s definitely right to follow your cousin’s call.
The old man stroked his beard with one hand, looked at Nuan Nuan's smile and nodded kindly.
"I haven't seen her before, but the girl looks familiar."
After thinking for a while, he suddenly paused - "What is your relationship with Qin Qingqian?"
Yes, this little girl looks a lot like the one from the Qin family. It’s been so long...
“She’s my grandmother.”
Nuannuan answered in a baby voice, saying that she remembered her grandmother's name when her mom and grandpa talked to her about her grandmother.
The old man was delighted. "So that's how it is. I forgot that the girl from the Bai family married into the Gu family in Lincheng. When Qingqian married the old man from the Gu family, we beat that kid up a lot."
He even laughed as he spoke.
Nuannuan——“…”Bai Mohua——“…”Is it really appropriate for you to say this in front of someone’s granddaughter?
"Let's go, let's go...it's so cold here, let's go to Grandpa Su's house and sit for a while."
As he spoke, he walked over and held Nuannuan's little hand, as if Nuannuan was his granddaughter.
"When you were born, your grandfather must have been so happy. When he was pursuing your grandmother, it was so exciting. Your grandmother has two older brothers. She was raised by her family since she was a child. How could the two brothers bear to let her go? Knowing that your grandfather was pursuing his sister so publicly, he caused him a lot of trouble when she was in school."
The old man talked about the past with a nostalgic look in his eyes - "I was a good friend of your two uncles, and I treated Qingqian as my own sister. So I helped your grandfather a lot when he set the trap."
Nuannuan followed him closely in small steps.
"Then Grandpa finally married Grandma. Grandpa is amazing."
