Chapter 752 Xiao Huai's Request
"I'm sorry, young friend, I've made you laugh!"
Old Master Xiao smiled helplessly and sighed deeply.
"Grandpa Xiao, don't be upset. If you like, An'an can be your granddaughter in the future!" Chen Yunxi said earnestly.
Wan Qiqi was annoyed by her bluntness and immediately said, "Grandpa, I was just being joking, please forgive me!"
As she spoke, Wan Qiqi stood up and apologized.
"It's alright! Children are innocent and say what they mean; they don't have many hidden agendas."
Grandpa Xiao gestured for Wan Qiqi to sit down and continued, "I know that Huai'er called you here because he wants your help to get Han'er and his wife to have a child, so I won't rush him!"
Wan Qiqi lowered her head, somewhat helpless.
Then, she looked up and said, "I just saw the eldest young master interacting with An'an. He didn't seem to dislike children. Why..."
Wan Qiqi wasn't sure if she could ask the question from an outsider's perspective.
After all, this is a matter within the Xiao family.
"There are many reasons!" Old Master Xiao sighed and shook his head helplessly. "None of my children are easy to take care of!"
“Every family has its own problems, and I believe they will understand the old man’s good intentions!” Wan Qiqi knew that the old man Xiao did not want to talk about it, so she did not intend to ask.
At this moment, Chen Yunxi suddenly stood up from the stool.
She rested one hand on the stone table and placed the other on Grandpa Xiao's forehead. "Grandpa, Mom said that frowning makes you age faster. Please don't frown, smile more!"
Old Master Xiao was taken aback.
For over a decade, no one has dared to point fingers or make comments on his face.
Chen Yunxi is the first one.
But Chen Yunxi's words prevented Grandpa Xiao from getting angry.
Instead, Wan Qiqi slammed her hand on the table and scolded, "An'an, you're getting more and more unruly! Did I tell you that you can just touch other people's faces whenever you want?"
Chen Yunxi pursed her lips, her mouth drooping, and didn't dare to speak.
She obediently sat back down in her original seat and stopped eating!
Seeing this, Grandpa Xiao said, "An'an, your mother is right. No matter how close you are to someone, you can't just lay hands on them, especially not with a man!"
"Oh!" Chen Yunxi replied, still somewhat sullen.
"Alright, Grandpa's not angry with you anymore. But you need to be more careful in the future and know how to act appropriately. Sometimes, not only will you suffer losses, but you'll also implicate your mother, understand?"
"Okay!" Chen Yunxi replied, her voice trembling with tears.
Wan Qiqi was also somewhat helpless; the child would look aggrieved after being scolded for a few words.
But at least, Chen Yunxi remembers every scolding.
"Alright, don't cry. After you finish eating, Grandpa will take you fishing, okay?" Grandpa Xiao coaxed.
Chen Yunxi stared blankly at Grandpa Xiao, "Really? Is that possible?"
"Sure!" Grandpa Xiao replied with a smile. "And if you like Grandpa, you can come and visit often!"
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!" Chen Yunxi immediately smiled.
Chen Yunxi was happy, but the butler standing to the side looked at the fishpond and felt a pang of heartache.
Who would have thought that these fish were found by Old Master Xiao at great expense?
One of them is worth a hundred taels of silver.
This pond of fish, though it looks like fish, is actually worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!
Wan Qiqi had no idea; all she knew was that her daughter had done her another favor.
When Grandpa Xiao said that, it meant that he was on good terms with the Chen family and even treated Chen Yunxi like his own granddaughter.
In this situation, if anything happens to the Chen family, the Xiao family might also lend a helping hand.
Even if Old Master Xiao doesn't care about the Chen family, he'll at least care about Chen Yunxi.
This can be considered as providing some protection for the child!
After finishing their meal, Grandpa Xiao really took the children to catch fish.
Wan Qiqi watched from afar, enjoying this moment of peace.
"Tsk tsk, you guys finished eating without leaving me a single bite, really..."
Xiao Huai stared at the leftover food on the table, clutched his chest, and looked distressed.
Wan Qiqi glanced at him sideways, "You still have the nerve to come? Aren't you afraid I'll get so angry that I'll whip you?"
"Why are you so angry!" Xiao Huai sat at the stone table, picking through a few pastries and popping them into his mouth.
While eating, they said, "You guys are so heartless, eating it all up!"
“How can anything be as clearly and logically designed as Young Master Xiao?” Wan Qiqi sneered and turned her face away.
"Oh dear, it's just a small matter, why get so angry?" Xiao Huai was in a bad mood because he saw that there was nothing to eat and he hadn't gotten addicted to the food.
But he hadn't forgotten why he came, and said, "Wan Qiqi, how about we make a deal?"
Wan Qiqi glanced back at him but didn't say anything.
"I promise I won't cheat you this time! Really!" Xiao Huai said, raising his hand as if to swear, "If I'm lying to you, may my lineage die out!"
Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes. "What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now?"
"It's serious business!" Xiao Huai grinned. "How about you help me figure out a way to get them to have a child?"
Wan Qiqi squinted, trying to discern whether Xiao Huai was telling the truth or lying.
After a moment, she was sure Xiao Huai was serious before replying, "What are you thinking? I'll consult a doctor about my childbirth! Both of us have health problems, I can ask Doctor Mu to help us with that."
"Doctor Mu already came to see me, which is why I wanted to ask you for help!" Xiao Huai stared at Wan Qiqi with a sincere expression, then grinned, "I think you can find a way to cure my sister-in-law's pent-up emotions!"
"I'm not a doctor. Please see a doctor for this kind of thing, okay?"
Wan Qiqi was also impressed by Xiao Huai. Did he think he was omnipotent?
"Medicine is not working for my sister-in-law. The doctor said she needs to adjust her mindset before she can get pregnant!" Xiao Huai said with some helplessness.
