Chapter 133: Engaged!!!

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Engaged!!!

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. The original plan to go to the Capital City the next day was abruptly delayed by a decision made by Empress Dowager Ye.

Regarding this, Xiao Yi was helpless, as it was a matter concerning his lifelong happiness.

It turned out that after days of discussions and considerations, Empress Dowager Ye and Lao Lin reached a consensus that before Xiao Yi left for the Capital City, Xiao Zihan’s matters had to be settled.

At the moving-in feast that day, Empress Dowager Ye had learned that Xiao Zihan only had an elderly grandmother.

So, the next day, she personally went with Lao Lin, bringing a bunch of nutritional supplements, to Xiao Zihan’s home.

No one knows what the two of them discussed with Grandma Xiao, but when they left, both Empress Dowager Ye and Grandma Xiao had joyful smiles on their faces.

Of course, without having to ask, Xiao Yi knew that this also counted as a meeting between the parents of the two families.

But that wasn’t the end of it. On the third morning, when Xiao Yi was pushed awake by Empress Dowager Ye, he discovered that many guests had arrived at his home.

The relatives who had visited just a few days before had come to the villa once again.

Not only that, but Empress Dowager Ye’s words left Xiao Yi completely baffled:

"Hurry and tidy up to pick up Zihan and Grandma Xiao! And dress formally today, by the way."

Then, the elders around him were all smiling at Xiao Yi, leaving him even more confused.

In his heart, he wondered what was going on. Could it be they were rushing to arrange the engagement?

After picking up Grandma Xiao and Xiao Zihan and bringing them back, Grandma Xiao looked at the luxurious grand house, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry.

Truth be told, although she had heard from her granddaughter that Xiao Yi’s family was wealthy, she hadn’t expected them to be this wealthy.

Now she was worried. She feared her granddaughter would suffer if she married into this family, worried she might be bullied.

However, upon seeing the lively crowd, and the genuine affection from Empress Dowager Ye towards Xiao Zihan, along with the demeanor of the surrounding people showing no sense of superiority, Grandma Xiao smiled, her face creasing into a beam.

At the same time, her impression of Xiao Yi’s family also changed profoundly.

Most importantly, Grandma Xiao could tell that Xiao Yi was a good boy, and the way he looked at her granddaughter was filled with love.

The elderly woman had lived her life, not overly wealthy or noble, but having interacted with countless people, she could discern the hearts of others.

However, Xiao Zihan was as bewildered as Xiao Yi, not understanding what was going on, and even asked Xiao Yi:

"Did something good happen in your family again?"

Noticing the amused glances from the people around, frequently directed at him and Xiao Zihan, along with Empress Dowager Ye’s words that morning, Xiao Yi suddenly realized what was happening.

Though he was somewhat speechless about Empress Dowager Ye’s rapid pace, she truly seemed fond of Xiao Zihan, this little girl.

Yet, in his heart, he wasn’t opposed to it, as he had planned to protect this cutie for a lifetime. Getting the approval of both families’ parents, wasn’t this the most perfect outcome?

Finally, during the meal, with one sentence from Empress Dowager Ye, Xiao Zihan also realized what was happening, and her pretty face instantly turned crimson.

Empress Dowager Ye took Xiao Zihan’s hand, her face filled with affectionate concern:

"Zihan, if Xiao Yi dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, I’ll break his leg!"

Her words were exceedingly domineering, and Xiao Yi, listening nearby, almost blurted out, ’I am your son, alright!’

...

That morning, a brand-new Range Rover was parked outside the small courtyard of Xiao Zihan’s house.

Subsequently, a handsome and tall young man stepped down from the car.

Gently pushing open the small courtyard gate, Xiao Yi stepped inside:

"Grandma, I’ve come to pick you up."

Upon hearing his voice, Grandma Xiao, wearing a benevolent expression, wiped her hands on her apron and walked out from the small house:

"Xiao Yi is here, come in quickly, I just finished making corn porridge, let’s eat before we leave."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi responded without hesitation, entered the house, glanced at Xiao Zihan packing her luggage, gave a sly grin and plopped himself onto the old but spotlessly clean small dining table.

He filled three bowls with corn porridge, called to Grandma Xiao, and started slurping it down noisily.

Watching Xiao Yi being burnt by the hot porridge, Grandma Xiao, who had just walked in, found it both amusing and exasperating:

"Take it easy, Xiao Yi, no one is competing with you."

To this, Xiao Yi chuckled, picked a chopstick’s worth of pickled vegetables made by Xiao Zihan, tossed it into his mouth, and mumbled:

"Hehe, mainly because your porridge is so delicious."

Listening to Xiao Yi’s flattery, Xiao Zihan, who had washed her hands and come over, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.

For a moment, the small house, which had been cold and quiet for over ten years, seemed brimming with vitality due to Xiao Yi’s presence.

After breakfast, Xiao Zihan washed the dishes, and Xiao Yi had already loaded the luggage into the car.

Though much of Grandma Xiao’s luggage consisted of things that might no longer be needed, Xiao Yi did not stop her.

After all, this way, Grandma Xiao would feel more at ease, right?

Indeed, Xiao Yi came today not to pick up Xiao Zihan, but specifically to pick up Grandma Xiao.

On the day the engagement feast concluded, Empress Dowager Ye and Lao Lin directly invited Grandma Xiao to stay in the villa with them.

Initially, Grandma Xiao disagreed, but no one knows what Empress Dowager Ye and Lao Lin talked about later, as Grandma Xiao unexpectedly agreed.

Thus, it turned out to be a rather good result. Not only did Grandma Xiao end up having company with Granny Lin Yi, but more importantly, when Xiao Zihan went to the Capital City, she wouldn’t have to worry about her elder being alone at home.

With a thud, Xiao Yi helped Grandma Xiao close the door of the Range Rover, then jogged over to the driver’s seat. After watching Xiao Zihan lock the gate of their small courtyard and get into the car, Xiao Yi stepped on the gas, heading for the villa.

When Xiao Yi’s car reached the villa, Empress Dowager Ye and Lao Lin were already waiting at the door.

Not only them, but even Granny Lin Yi was sitting under the large tree outside the villa, waiting to welcome Grandma Xiao, their ’new friend’, while cooling off.

Seeing this scene, Grandma Xiao, whose heart had felt a bit empty, now had a smile on her face.

She glanced up at Xiao Zihan’s pretty face, which couldn’t hide her happiness, and Grandma Xiao let out a long sigh in her heart:

’Sigh, I hope you don’t follow in your mother’s footsteps... Yet, looking at Xiao Yi, he truly is a good child...’

After tidying up for over an hour, Grandma Xiao’s room was finally set up, right next to Granny Lin Yi’s room.

The twenty-odd square meter large bedroom was fully equipped with a private bath and everything else, and like Granny Lin Yi’s bedroom, had a small door leading to the garden.
