Chapter 700: Chapter 698 He’s Handsome_1
"Alright, cut the chatter and come out with me," he said, reaching out to pull Cheng Youyou away.
"Auntie, I’m heading out first," Cheng Youyou said, waving at Xia Ningxing while being forcibly dragged away.
"Okay," Xia Ningxing nodded and then scolded Chuanchuan, "Hey kid, be gentler with the girl!"
"Got it," Chuanchuan replied, slowing down his pace.
Once in the living room, Cheng Youyou began to ingratiate herself with the elder again.
"Great-grandpa! Great-grandpa! You must be tired from reading the newspaper for so long; may I give you a shoulder rub?" As she spoke, the little girl half-propped herself next to him, busily kneading Sir Lu’s shoulders.
Although winning over Mrs. Xia was important, great-grandpa was also important!
Actually, Mr. Lu was important too, but unfortunately he wasn’t there at the moment.
Sir Lu didn’t really feel anything, but he still praised her with a beaming smile, "Youyou has such good hands. Great-grandpa’s shoulders don’t feel sore at all now!"
Chuanchuan couldn’t help but let out a "heh" under his breath.
Hypocritical!
It was just too hypocritical!
How come he never knew his own great-grandpa could tell lies!
Cheng Youyou, however, believed it and was so pleased that she immediately said, "Great-grandpa, then I’ll come to your house often to give you massages, okay?"
"Of course, I couldn’t ask for more!" the elder agreed readily.
He was someone nearing the end of his days and would love nothing more than to see more of his great-grandson’s wife in his remaining years.
Cheng Youyou couldn’t be happier, and she told Chuanchuan, "Yichuan, I’m afraid I’ll be coming to your house often in the future."
"Suit yourself," Chuanchuan replied indifferently.
What’s with her, is she dumb? Running off to be a maid in someone else’s house!
Idiot!
But when he thought about her doing all this just to be closer to him, for some reason, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly.
Xia Ningxing and Nanny Wu came out of the kitchen, calling everyone, "Come! Dinner’s ready!"
At mealtime, the girl wasn’t picky at all, eating heartily, which was just delightful to watch.
Becoming a parent, one of the things you enjoy most is watching your kids eat heartily.
"Eat more; don’t be shy, just like you’re at your own home," Xia Ningxing continued to serve dishes to her.
"Thank you, Mrs. Xia," the girl said, her cheeks puffed out with food, her voice sounding milky and thankful.
Chuanchuan couldn’t help but interject, "Mom, since when does she look shy to you?"
Clearly, she’s more at home here than she is at her own house!
At his words, Cheng Youyou suddenly felt embarrassed, eating with small bites, barely daring to speak.
"You shut up; even a meal can’t keep your mouth closed!" Xia Ningxing gave him a stern glance and then turned back with a smile to Youyou, "Don’t mind him, Youyou, keep eating well."
"Mhm mhm!" Cheng Youyou nodded her little head energetically.
After dinner, Lu Tingli finally returned.
Xia Ningxing went up to him and took off his suit jacket, "I was worried the kids were hungry, so I let everyone start without you. But there’s still food left in the kitchen, Nanny Wu is heating up the dishes, you’ll eat in a bit."
"No problem," Lu Tingli said with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle," piped up a soft, tender voice then.
Lu Tingli looked down to see a rosy Little Tuanzi by his side, batting her sparkly eyes shyly while greeting him.
His hardened heart instantly softened, and he smiled a fatherly smile, crouching down and patting her head, "You must be Youyou, right?"
Even his tone was tender and gentle.
Chuanchuan felt a twinge of jealousy, biting his chopsticks; in his whole life, his dad had never spoken to him so softly.
Hmph!
So annoyed!
Cheng Youyou, with her hair in twin ponytails, nodded her head, "That’s right, uncle, I am Youyou, but how do you know my name?"
She tilted her head, asking curiously.
"Heard it from Mrs. Xia," Lu Tingli replied.
"So that’s how it is!" The little girl blinked her shiny big eyes.
Lu Tingli started chatting with the little girl, "I heard you like Lu Yichuan?"
"Yes, that’s right." Mentioning this, the little girl blushed noticeably, her cheeks as red as apples. She hung her head and twisted the hem of her clothes with her delicate little hands.
Lu Tingli couldn’t help but smile, "Everything about you is good, except for your taste in boys. How could you like that stinky kid Chuanchuan?"
If his daughter liked someone of that kind, he’d definitely not agree.
Such a boring boy.
Chuanchuan: ???
Minding your own business at home, and a pot falls from the sky?
Upon hearing this, the little girl who was shy just a moment ago suddenly lifted her face, muttering with some displeasure, "Uncle, I won’t let you talk about Yichuan like that, Yichuan is very nice!"
She was defending him!
The previously gloomy Chuanchuan immediately felt better.
He perked up and looked at her, his usually indifferent eyes now showing pleasure.
"Then tell me, what is good about him?" Lu Tingli raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
He didn’t know of any good qualities his son had.
Cheng Youyou said in a milky voice, "He’s handsome and smart!"
"Those two points are indeed undeniable," Lu Tingli nodded, then asked, "Anything else other than that?"
"Other than that... um... let me think..." The little girl furrowed her brow, falling into somberness.
It seems, it seems other than that, he really has no other good points.
On the contrary, his faults are numerous: a bad temper, haughty, aloof, sharp-tongued, overconfident... a whole bunch!
"Anyway, Yichuan is just good! He’s just good!" Unable to come up with anything else, the little girl simply stopped thinking and kept repeating these words.
Chuanchuan’s thin lips curved even more sharply.
He thought, it definitely wasn’t because he was happy she praised him.
It was because she had made his conceited father speechless.
After sending Cheng Youyou home, the little girl still reluctantly clung onto Chuanchuan’s hem, "Yichuan, I really don’t want to leave you..."
"Are you serious? It’s not like we won’t see each other again, do you have to be like this?" Chuanchuan, the straightforward boy, was completely perplexed.
"I do!" Cheng Youyou nodded with justifiable pride.
Chuanchuan, speechless, forcibly peeled her hand away, "Alright, go back inside, goodnight."
If he let her cling on like this, they probably wouldn’t be sleeping the entire night.
"Goodnight!" Cheng Youyou left, looking back every three steps.
In the car, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems Youyou really loves you deeply, look at how reluctant she is."
Chuanchuan blushed, "What love, she is still so young, what does she know about love. If you ask me, she’s just taken with my face."
Hmph!
That must be it!
"Don’t think of Youyou as so shallow," Xia Ningxing chided.
