As soon as Grandpa Ji heard this, he knew what Grandpa Si was talking about.
That old rascal has been eyeing Niannian ever since he first met her at the Ji family's house.
These days, in front of him, he either intentionally or unintentionally talks about how good his grandson is, or he keeps praising Niannian.
He also occasionally plays the victim, saying he's all alone at home every day. If Niannian were to become his granddaughter-in-law, he would be so happy.
Oh.
Old Master Ji scoffed.
He had finally found his precious granddaughter, and he hadn't even had enough of the happiness yet.
That way, it won't be easily kidnapped.
“Old Ji, I showed you the birth charts of the two children last time. All the fortune tellers who looked at them said that they were a perfect match made in heaven.”
"My son may be a bit unreliable, but with his height, build, and face, he's not bad-looking, is he?"
"These days, young girls all like his type—what's it called again, the domineering CEO."
Grandpa Si's tone was somewhat ingratiating, "Judging from how Niannian acted last time, she doesn't seem to dislike our Bo Ye."
"I think we should find an opportunity to let the two kids get to know each other. If they like each other, we can have them get engaged..."
"No way, my Niannian is still in high school, why are you in such a hurry to get engaged and married?" Old Master Ji said proudly.
"Besides, what era are we living in? There's no such thing as arranged marriage anymore."
"Whether or not a child wants to date, and who they want to date, is entirely up to them."
"Why are you worrying about this, you old man?"
How can I not worry?
What if he was a step too late and his chosen granddaughter-in-law was kidnapped?
Neither of the two old men knew that their grandson and granddaughter had gone beyond mere casual contact in private.
The big bad wolf is about to devour the little rabbit whole.
Grandpa Si said, "Anyway, that kid Bo Ye is abroad these two days. When he comes back, I'll have him take Niannian out for a meal and a movie or something. You can't disagree then."
"What?" Old Master Ji's eyes widened. "Eating is fine, but watching a movie is out of the question. Those movie theaters are pitch black; what if your son has designs on our family..."
Grandpa Si immediately assured him, "Don't worry, if that kid dares to lay a hand on Nian Nian, I'll break his legs."
Grandpa Ji reluctantly agreed: "...That depends on Niannian's wishes. Let your Bo Ye come and invite her himself, and see if she's willing to go."
Grandpa Si breathed a sigh of relief.
As a grandfather, he has already done so much for his grandson.
If there's still no progress after a meal and a movie, he might start to doubt whether his grandson is impotent.
The two old men were chatting when Jiang Nian came over to say hello and then prepared to go back first.
However, as soon as Jiang Nian stepped out of the Si family's gate, Song Sichen called her back.
"—Nian Nian."
Jiang Nian turned her head and met the man's handsome and refined face and gentle eyes: "Brother Si Chen, what's wrong?"
"It's still early... I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go somewhere else to sit for a while."
This was the first time in Song Sichen's life that he had invited a girl, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, afraid that the girl in front of him would reject him.
He was tall and slender, with gentle and gentlemanly eyes. "I noticed you didn't eat anything at the banquet tonight except for that dessert. You must be hungry."
"There's a Western-style casual dining place nearby that makes really good pasta. Want to grab something to eat?"
I am hungry, I really am.
However, before Jiang Nian could reply, Qi Yi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He grabbed her hand, his voice pitiful, "Senior sister, are you going to abandon me again?"
"I finally found my senior sister again. Can you stay with me a little longer?"
"If my senior sister is hungry, we'll go get some barbecue skewers."
"You're probably tired of pasta, right? Back when we were abroad, your favorite late-night snack was grilled skewers!"
Qi Yi is a bit cunning.
With the phrase "we used to," Song Sichen, who had only recently met Jiang Nian, was left far behind.
She subtly and overtly criticized the pasta, implying that Song Sichen was completely unaware of her sister's preferences. Yet, she maintained an innocent and harmless demeanor, like a sweet dumpling filled with black sesame filling.
At this moment, Song Sichen stood to Jiang Nian's left, and Qi Yi stood to Jiang Nian's right.
Both men stared intently, awaiting the girl's reply.
Qi Yi's eyes were especially eager.
He felt that if Jiang Nian rejected him, the next second the dejected puppy would have red eyes and hug her, crying.
When Si Boye returned, this was the scene he saw, and his eyes narrowed sharply.
very good.
So, there's more than one rival trying to steal his home while he's away?
"It's so lively!"
Upon suddenly hearing Si Boye's voice, Jiang Nian was startled. She instinctively turned her head and, sure enough, saw a familiar figure.
The man was tall with long legs, his figure like a walking clothes rack, his broad shoulders and narrow waist accentuated by the bespoke suit, making him look noble and dazzling.
His striking good looks were accentuated by his relaxed demeanor under the dim streetlights. His seemingly languid yet alluring eyes carried an undeniable sense of oppression.
"Si Boye? How could you..."
Jiang Nian was surprised.
Why is Si Boye suddenly here? Isn't he supposed to be returning to Jiangcheng the day after tomorrow?
The next second, she noticed the faint dark circles under the man's eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several nights.
Song Sichen didn't expect to see Si Boye here; it wasn't that he had gone abroad.
Qi Yi was even more surprised to find that there were other men besides the one next to his sister.
Si Boye walked over with a lazy smile on his lips.
She first looked at Song Sichen and casually asked, "Dean Song, we met last time. So, who pushed Niannian last time? Did you find out?"
"I……"
One sentence struck a nerve with Song Sichen, who couldn't help but take a deep breath. His expression almost crumbled, but he barely managed to maintain his composure.
Si Boye then turned his gaze to Qi Yi, looked him up and down, and spoke with a smile.
"Whose little brother is this? Judging by his height, he must be just starting high school, right?"
"It's okay, boys develop later and can still grow taller. Although I was already 185 cm tall when I was in high school."
Qi Yi is 178 cm tall, which is not short but not tall either. His height has always been a source of pain for him.
Especially when standing next to the tall man who is 187 cm tall, her imposing presence immediately diminishes.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes, grit his teeth, and raise his head defiantly: "Hey, what did you say?"
Seeing this, Lin Qian couldn't help but silently give a thumbs up from the corner behind him.
It has to be their CEO, Mr. Bo!
With just a few words, he broke down the defenses of his two rivals, effortlessly delivering a decisive blow.
She perfectly embodies the aura of an empress!
