Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Taozi’s Inner Thoughts

"Grandma, hehe~"

Taozi giggled first before even speaking, appearing quite cautious.

"What’s so funny? Sit properly." Grandma scolded with a stern face.

"Okay." Taozi sat down beside her with a wronged expression and then turned her gaze towards Tao Guangsha and his wife.

The couple pretended to casually look away, making no eye contact with her.

"Great Grandmother, did Auntie make you mad? Just give her a little spank on the behind, too much of it will hurt her," Dou Dou whispered into Great Grandmother’s ear.

With a stern face, Great Grandmother couldn’t help but break into a smile at that comment.

"Really my sweet little one..."

Seeing Great Grandmother smile, Taozi heaved a sigh of relief.

But just at that moment, Great Grandmother turned her gaze toward Taozi.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on between you and Xiao Shen?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Guangsha and his wife felt a bit puzzled. Didn’t they just explain that he was just pretending to be Taozi’s boyfriend?

"Didn’t Sister and Brother-in-law tell you?" Taozi looked at Tao Guangsha and his wife.

"They did, but I want to hear it from you," said Great Grandmother.

"It’s exactly as they told you. I just happened to meet him, so I asked him for a favor," Taozi replied.

Hearing this, Great Grandmother glanced at Tao Guangsha and his wife beside her.

"You take Dou Dou back first, I want to have a private chat with Taozi."

"Oh, okay," Tao Guangsha and his wife quickly got up upon hearing this.

But Dou Dou was not pleased.

"What are you going to talk to Auntie about? I want to listen too, is it a little secret? Please tell me a bit."

As she spoke, she also leaned her face in, bringing her little ear close to Great Grandmother’s mouth.

Great Grandmother naturally kissed her on the cheek.

"There’s no secret, just some adult matters, it’s better for kids not to listen."

"Hmph, I didn’t want to listen anyway. I’m going to find Potato, I’m not playing with you guys anymore~" Dou Dou said, and then magically disappeared from Great Grandmother’s lap, soon a gust of Yin Wind blew towards the window.

"This girl."

Jiang Wenxin felt quite helpless too, picking up her phone to call Shen Siyuan to give him a heads up.

After Jiang Wenxin and her spouse left, Grandma then said, "Now, tell me."

"Tell what?"

"About you and Xiao Shen, is it really as simple as you’ve told everyone?" Grandma gripped her hand and pulled her closer.

"What else did you think?"

"I suspect it’s not that simple. If it were just an ordinary relationship, would he agree to meet your parents with you? Am I right?" Grandma said cheerfully.

Taozi paused for a moment, then said, "Grandma, he has a girlfriend, Ruan Ruan, who you’ve met."

"I know, ah..." Grandma didn’t quite know what to say.

"Grandma has always thought you were a blessed girl, how could you miss this opportunity this time," Grandma said somewhat regretfully.

"Grandma, if it’s meant to be mine, I will have it; if not, it’s fate. There’s no need to dwell on it."

"You, you always take things so lightly. What about that friend of yours? I heard you two were doing business together; are you still working together?"

"Of course, we’re still very close as always, there’s no way this would cause any conflict between us. Don’t worry too much," Taozi replied.

"How can I not worry? This is a huge opportunity; missing it would be regrettable for a lifetime," Grandma said somewhat disheartened.

Hearing this, Taozi bit her lip, wrestling with whether to discuss a lingering doubt with Grandma.

Seeing her like this, Grandma immediately understood what was going on.

"Is there anything you can’t talk about with Grandma?"

Taozi thought to herself, she’s right, we’re family, there’s no need to hide anything, perhaps Grandma could even offer some advice.

The stature the Jiang Family holds today owes not only to Grandfather’s connections but also to Grandma’s instruction to her children. After all, a rotten mud wall cannot be plastered.

So Taozi leaned close to Grandma’s ear and quietly told her the matter while blushing.

Grandma was overjoyed upon hearing this, truly a dramatic turnaround, when it seemed like there was no way out, an unexpected way appeared.

-----------------

"Hmph, Great Grandmother and Aunt are whispering secrets, not letting me hear. I don’t want to listen anyway, I won’t play with them anymore." Dou Dou pouted as she paced back and forth on the balcony.

Upon hanging up the phone, Shen Siyuan finally understood what was going on.

"Come here." Shen Siyuan motioned to her with his hand.

Hearing this, Dou Dou instinctively wanted to walk towards Shen Siyuan, but suddenly she seemed to realize something was not right.

She stretched one foot forward, and reached out one hand, freezing in place in that advancing posture, as if she was struck by a point press, and cautiously asked, "What do you want me to do by coming over?"

"What do you think?" Shen Siyuan revealed a slight smile.

Dou Dou turned her head and ran, then she seemed to remember something, conjured a gust of Yin Wind, and soared into the sky.

But at that moment, Shen Siyuan reached out a hand into the air and picked her.

Just like picking a petal, he easily grabbed Dou Dou who was mid-air in his hand.

Even though they were more than ten meters apart, she miracously ended up in Shen Siyuan’s hand.

"You think you could escape?" Shen Siyuan smiled lightly.

"How would I know if I didn’t try?" Dou Dou responded.

"Well, now that you’ve tried, what do you think?"

"I can’t escape, Potato, I love you the most."

"Whatever you say is useless."

Shen Siyuan spanked her bottom several times.

The little fellow yelped in pain; his slap was directly affecting the soul.

"What did I tell you, don’t reveal your form in front of strangers."

Thank god, Grandma Taozi is brave, otherwise, if a timid person got scared by her appearance, it would be a big trouble.

"But... but... Great Grandmother isn’t a stranger, is she?"

Tears formed in Dou Dou’s eyes as she spoke with a pitiful look.

Shen Siyuan was suddenly at a loss for words.

This little thing, became so smart after a beating.

"Still, you’re not allowed without permission next time, understand?"

"I understand, grown-ups are so unreasonable," Dou Dou muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

"I said I love Potato the most." Dou Dou hurriedly replied.

"Alright, go play with Duoduo and the others." Shen Siyuan then let her go.

The little fellow immediately conjured a gust of Yin Wind and flew into the air, then made a face at him.

"Lulu~"

Then she shot straight into the night sky, as fast as she could go.

Shen Siyuan was about to fetch her back when his phone rang; it was from Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Hello, why has your phone been busy just now?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked on the phone.

"Oh, Sister Jiang called me about Dou Dou," Shen Siyuan replied.

"I couldn’t reach Taozi’s phone either, I thought you were together," Ruan Hongzhuang mentioned seemingly casually.

"Taozi? I’m not sure about that, what time is it already, how could she possibly be with me... wait, wasn’t it you who agreed to let me pretend to be her boyfriend? What, are you jealous now?" Shen Siyuan suddenly realized.

"Not at all, do you think I’m that petty?" Ruan Hongzhuang immediately denied.

"Whether you are or not, you know best in your heart."

...

As they were talking, Xiao Yue, Duoduo, and Dou Dou descended from the sky riding the Yin Wind.

Dou Dou quietly hid behind Sister Xiao Yue, fearing that Shen Siyuan would continue to settle accounts with her.
