Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Great-Great-Grandfather, Lying Flat

In his youth, he was accustomed to communal living.

He tended to prefer colder temperatures, as this chill helped him maintain his rationality more clearly.

All the other houses in the courtyard had heating, except for his, which remained icy cold year-round.

However, with the heat from the surrounding houses transferring over, Su Jingguo’s room instead had a comfortable temperature.

The maid had already thoroughly informed the butler about Lu Nuonuo’s early morning activities.

The butler found it amusing, knowing that Su Jingguo had specifically redecorated the children’s room for the comfort of the three kids, yet unexpectedly, the Little Dumpling was woken up from the heat on the first night.

Time ticked by second by second.

Worried that the child might fall off, Su Jingguo specifically had someone move a chair to block the edge of the sofa.

However, Lu Nuonuo usually slept quietly without much movement, rarely even turning over.

When she woke up, seeing her great-grandfather leaning against the headboard reading a book, she tilted her head and said with a big smile, "Great-grandfather, good morning~"

The whole room was filled with her energetic voice.

"Good morning." Su Jingguo, having unusually finished his morning routine, lay back on the bed.

He looked at Lu Nuonuo with a gaze full of elder affection.

Lu Nuonuo wanted to walk directly across from the sofa at the foot of the bed but found the bed’s board to be hard.

She silently retracted her little feet and looked at him with some pity, saying, "Great-grandfather, Nuonuo will use her pocket money to get you a new board."

This board is really too hard.

Su Jingguo was amused by the child’s innocent words and teased her on purpose, "You’re not saving your pocket money for when you grow up?"

He still remembered those generous yet adorable things Lu Nuonuo had said to Lu Xining.

Lu Nuonuo climbed down from the sofa, hugged her pink little fox, and moved to the bedside, looking up and saying, "Great-grandfather, Nuonuo will secretly tell you, you can use uncle’s card."

Not mom, not dad, but uncle’s card.

Su Jingguo curiously said "Oh" and asked her why she would use uncle’s card, only to hear the child’s innocent and serious reply.

"Because, when Nuonuo grows up, she will care for uncle in his old age."

Achoo! Achoo!

After Lu Xining and the three kids went to Beicheng, Jing Zheng also returned to C Country.

He rubbed his nose, wondering if it was the changing weather that caused him to sneeze more frequently.

Seeing him sneezing at the dining table, Fu Junhang, who had just brought out the dishes, squinted his dark eyes dangerously and gritted his teeth, "Lu, Jing, Zheng!"

"Hey! What are you doing, I didn’t sneeze towards the food, I sneezed outward..."

Fu Junhang sneered, "Ha!"

If not for his excellent cooking skills, Jing Zheng wouldn’t have brazenly come over for meals, rubbing his nose.

"You should straighten up your attitude a bit."

"Otherwise, I’ll tell Nuonuo, she’s my only uncle."

Facing his gaze, Jing Zheng’s tone grew softer.

Besides Lu Xining and Lu Nuonuo, Jing Zheng and Fu Junhang had long been like family, looking after and accompanying each other.

Though he complained, he still got to eat the meal he was given.

Back in the country, after bonding with her great-grandfather, Lu Nuonuo immediately went to find her two brothers to wash up.

Knowing that Ji Chao and Ji Ze liked sports like archery and horseback riding, Su Jingguo had the butler take them to another courtyard to watch people train.

They could even watch a live version of target practice.

"Wow! Uncle, you’re amazing! Can I touch it?" Ji Ze excitedly watched the person who finished target practice from a distance, his clear eyes full of interest.

Ji Chao was also very interested in this.

He looked back, seeing his sister obediently following by their great-grandfather’s side, without any worry.

"Uncle, I want to try too, can I?"

In principle, they couldn’t, as the two kids were too young, but since everyone in the courtyard was familiar, they could secretly give it a try, just turning a blind eye.

Moreover...everyone was trying to guess what it meant when Su Jingguo specifically brought Ji Chao and Ji Ze to watch the live target practice.

Could it be he wanted to see the two kids’ talents?

Seeing the eager light in her brothers’ eyes, Lu Nuonuo suddenly propped her chin up with her hands and sighed deeply.

This piqued Su Jingguo’s curiosity.

"Little Nuonuo, what’s with the sigh?"

She turned to look at him, her big eyes blinking as she said, "My brothers are too eager to learn."

Lu Nuonuo, from a young age, preferred ease and comfort over everything.

Her brothers being so eager to learn made her seem too lazy by comparison.

This wasn’t good for the balance of the family atmosphere~

Su Jingguo, puzzled by the kid’s thought process, looked at the butler beside him: Do you know what she means?

The butler guessed, "Probably means... the two brothers are too outstanding, making Nuonuo feel pressured?"

Su Jingguo looked thoughtfully at the Little Dumpling.

By this time, Ji Chao and Ji Ze were already in the dressing room next door, changing into the appropriate gear, eager to take the field and try.

Lu Nuonuo slowly moved over to the floor-to-ceiling window, waving her little fists to cheer them on.

"Go brothers! Go brothers!"

Hearing the Little Dumpling encouraging her brothers, Su Jingguo’s eyes were filled with irresistible affection and laughter.

Today, he was entirely the elder at home watching over the three kids.

The people in the surrounding courtyards had heard yesterday that three little dumplings were at Su Jingguo’s place, and they all came to see the children.

"Old Su, is this girl your great-granddaughter?"

Seeing it was an old friend, Su Jingguo nodded with a smile, "Yes, my child, just brought over yesterday."

The old man joked, "This girl’s got a real big voice, sounds like a good seedling."

Although Su Jingguo was inclined to train Ji Chao and Ji Ze from a young age, he couldn’t bear to see Lu Nuonuo suffer, and he just smiled at his friend’s words.

He proudly said, "Those two outside are also my children."

The old man enviously looked at the twins and Lu Nuonuo, the affection among the three siblings evident, and he sighed, "You’re really lucky, Old Su."

"If my kids had the same early marriage mindset as your grandson, I’d also be home accompanying children by now."

"Old Chen, this isn’t the old days. You can’t force kids to marry before they establish a career. Establishing a career first, then family, is also a good choice. You should worry less over these things and give the kids more freedom."

Back in the day, he was too strict with his daughter.

This was forbidden, that was forbidden, and in the end, he didn’t even see his daughter for the last time.

"Great-grandfather~"

Lu Nuonuo’s attention had been on her brothers, and when she turned around, she noticed the person next to Su Jingguo. Unafraid, she smiled and greeted, "Hello, handsome grandpa~"

"My name is Lu Nuonuo."

She introduced herself warmly, not forgetting to add at the end, "He’s my great-grandfather~"

The two elders were utterly charmed by the child’s sweet and cute demeanor.
