Old Mrs. Shen had cooked a bowl of noodles and when she brought it out she happened to hear these words and almost dropped the bowl.
She had a feeling that this child came here just for Fubao, and had nothing to do with anyone else. Eight out of ten sentences he spoke were about Fubao, as if he had already decided on her and couldn't live without her.
Old Man Shen appreciated Long Xiao's words. He always thought that it would be good for Nannan to be with this child, and as a grandfather, he supported it. However, he was not the one who made the decision in this family, so he had no say.
It would be fine if the old woman agreed, but now even Shen Zhile disagrees, let alone the old woman.
She loves her daughter more than anyone else in the family.
Old Madam Shen pretended not to hear Long Xiao's words, walked over with the noodles, and said with a kind smile: "Child, come, eat the noodles first!"
"Thank you, grandma." Long Xiao brought the noodles over, picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bite, praising: "Grandma's cooking skills are getting better and better. After I went to the provincial capital, I always missed the Shen family's food."
Xiaobai was lying beside the sofa, shaking his big furry tail. Hearing this, he began to question his life.
In order to please the old couple, His Majesty even abandoned the airs and aura that a Demon Lord should have, and acted like a humble junior, so polite and sensible.
"Really?" Old Mrs. Shen was delighted by the compliment. "If it tastes good, eat more. There's more in the pot. When you're done, go get some. Don't be polite!"
"Fubao doesn't want to eat?"
"..." Old Mrs. Shen choked.
This child's mind is full of Fubao?
"She just had dinner not long ago, she's not hungry yet." Old Mrs. Shen said, changing the subject, "My child, you came back so late at night, do you have a place to stay?"
"No. I was supposed to arrive in the afternoon so I could stay at a hotel in town. Unexpectedly, the train was delayed, so I came so late. The hotel should no longer be accepting check-ins, and I don't know if there are any vacancies. Besides, it's not convenient to go to town so late. I can stay on the sofa for one night and leave tomorrow morning. I won't bother you at all."
Long Xiao made up the story without blushing or beating his heart.
"How can you say it's a bother? It's not a bother. Besides, you're a guest, how can I let you sleep on the sofa? If others knew about this, they would laugh at our family. Wait a minute, I'll go clean up the boss's room for you. His room is clean, and he works away from home, only coming back once every one or two months, so the sheets and quilts are all washed and dried, you can sleep there without worry."
This was exactly what Long Xiao wanted. He said politely, "Thank you for your help, grandma."
"I told you it's not a trouble. You've lived in our house for such a long time, why are you still so polite?" Old Mrs. Shen smiled, turned around and went to clean up the house, leaving Old Man Shen to continue chatting with Long Xiao.
Old man Shen asked him which school he was studying at, whether coming back like this would count as skipping classes, how his grades were, which university he wanted to go to in the future, etc. Long Xiao answered all the questions patiently.
He had anticipated the old couple would ask these questions before he came here, so he had already thought about how to answer them.
Fubao stayed in her room, completely lost interest in doing her homework, and stared at her homework book in a daze. At this moment, all she could think about was Long Xiao, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Is Long Xiao really going to live at home as Huo Jinxi? Then how should she get along with him?
