Ruan Shengpeng chased after him, and Jun Sheng couldn't just stand still and let him hit him, so the two of them circled around the living room.
Jun Sheng is currently in his prime, and he ran ahead with ease. The two of them ran around the living room for about fifty or sixty laps. Poor Ruan Shengpeng is already seventy-five years old, and even with the best care, his heart was pounding wildly.
At first, Xiao Yue ignored their commotion and just kept her head down reading. Later, she noticed that her grandfather's breathing was not right and called to Junsheng, "Sit down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Sheng jumped up and sat down on the chair. As soon as he sat down, Ruan Shengpeng followed him and hit Jun Sheng with a feather duster. Of course, he hit him, but he didn't dare to hit him with all his might. He just tickled Jun Sheng.
Jun Sheng was hit twice by Ruan Shengpeng, then turned around and picked up a feather duster: "Grandpa, Grandpa, you see I will absolutely listen to Little Pudding. I will give her all my wages from now on. Will you agree to let us be together?"
Ruan Shengpeng's heart sank. Was the person he had raised with such care about about to be taken advantage of so soon? He looked up at Little Pudding, hoping she would refute Jun Sheng.
Little Pudding didn't disappoint her grandfather either, glaring at Junsheng: "Where did you get that idea? When did we get to the point of needing our parents' permission? Did you even ask for my opinion?"
Little Pudding's words made Ruan Shengpeng laugh out loud: "So it was you who was talking to yourself here. Go back and stop talking nonsense!"
Jun Sheng looked aggrieved: "Little Pudding, why did you start something and then abandon me?"
Little Pudding looked at Junsheng with a confused expression: "How did I start something and then abandon it? I never said anything?"
"You did! When you were little, you said you would marry me!" Jun Sheng gave him a look that said, "You're such a scumbag!"
But Little Pudding didn't respond: "I swear I've never said anything so childish. I have a very good memory and I never forget what I've said!"
Jun Sheng sighed inwardly, realizing he couldn't even fool a wife. He tried to argue, but Ruan Shengpeng urged him on, "Alright, you've delivered the goods, now you can go back!"
Without saying a word, they forced the person to their doorstep. They came to their own house and tried to steal the person away right in front of them. There's no such thing as a free lunch!
After chasing the person away, Ruan Shengpeng sat down next to Xiaobuding: "Xiaobuding, do you like him?"
Little Pudding thought for a moment and said, "I don't dislike him, but I wouldn't say I like him!"
Little Pudding's words reassured Ruan Shengpeng: "You're not an adult yet, so let's not think about such things so soon. Don't get married so early, because once you get married you'll become an adult. Let's stay kids for a few more years!"
In fact, Ruan Shengpeng had some concerns. From the perspective of family background alone, Jun Sheng was impeccable. Now, Jun Nanzhu and He Jiayin were both in high positions.
Leader He has stepped down, but he has two successors. This has already been taken for granted by many families. For example, when Ruan Shengpeng stepped down, his nephew could not take over the baton at all, which is a bit of a pity!
Looking at Junsheng's current development, it will likely follow in its father and mother's footsteps and continue to operate within the center of power. Many people would be willing to form marriage alliances with such a family.
However, Ruan Shengpeng was unwilling for Xiaobuding to be associated with such a family. Junsheng would be very busy in the future, so busy that they would only see each other a few times a year.
Little Pudding's current achievements also mean she will be very busy in the future. If both husband and wife are busy, they will only see each other a few times a year. What's the point of such a marriage?
Even the best feelings can fade with time and distance, so it's better not to start at all.
Ruan Shengpeng couldn't help but ask, "You'll be an adult next year, Little Pudding, tell Grandpa, what are your thoughts on your future partner?"
Little Pudding thought for a moment and said, "I want to find someone like you and Dad, a warm person!"
Little Pudding's words pleased Ruan Shengpeng. After he finished laughing, he remembered his purpose: "You think Grandpa is good, but do you know how much your grandma, your mother, and your uncle have suffered because of me?"
The little pudding really didn't know: "Didn't you always love Grandma? How could you bear to see her suffer?"
"Grandpa fell in love with your grandma the first time he saw her, but my profession meant I couldn't always be by her side. I've been away from your grandma for over ten years!"
Little Pudding was a little incredulous: "I saw that you and Grandma had a very good relationship. I thought you two had always been this close. You were even separated for more than ten years in between??"
Ruan Shengpeng knew that Xiaobuding misunderstood that their relationship was bad and that's why they had separated for more than ten years, but he didn't explain: "Xiaobuding, sometimes separations are not because of a lack of love, but because of practical issues. You are destined to be very busy in the future!"
"If the person you choose is just as busy as you, how many times a year do you think you'll actually see each other? Relationships need time to develop and energy to nurture!"
"That kid is very capable, and his future is definitely bright! A bright future requires time and effort. He has put in time and effort at work, so he must have put in very little effort in his personal life."
"And you're the same way. If that happens, even if you two get together, time and distance will gradually dilute your feelings, and you won't even be able to be friends anymore!"
Little Pudding's face was expressionless, and Ruan Shengpeng wasn't sure if she had listened. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Okay, I understand. From now on, he will just be my childhood playmate!"
Little Pudding's words made Ruan Shengpeng happy for a while, and then he began to think about which brat in Beijing met Little Pudding's criteria.
Ruan Shengpeng's mind was entirely focused on Xiaobuding's choice of a partner, completely forgetting about the Hong Kong handover on TV. It's true what they say about grandparents spoiling their grandchildren. Right now, Xiaobuding's affairs are the most important thing for Ruan Shengpeng!
But before he could finish thinking, he heard a loud voice shout, "Grandpa, Grandpa, your precious baby is back!"
These words made Ruan Shengpeng stand up abruptly. He turned around and saw his beloved grandson. His mouth widened in a grin: "So it's my darling back! You've been gone for so long. Grandpa missed you so much!"
The one who returned was Ruan Liang, the son of Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu. He is 14 years old this year and will be starting junior high school in September. He went to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad for a whole month.
Ruan Liang doesn't look like Xiaobuding at all, but he looks very much like Ruan Shengpeng, with a similarity of up to 90%. They are obviously related by blood.
Therefore, Xiao Gengwu suggested that the boy take Ruan Shengpeng's surname. Ruan Shengpeng was reluctant to refuse and agreed. Ruan Liang, like his sister, was very fond of mathematics.
His talent was slightly less than his sister's. He always followed the rules step by step and never skipped grades, but he was always a top student in school.
