Chapter 366: Chapter 366: The Most Beloved Grandson (3)_1
Yu Qihao completely missed the way Situ Jin raised an eyebrow after hearing what he said before turning to look at his grandfather.
Old Master Situ had also heard Yu Qihao’s words, and after thinking about Xiao Muli’s previous actions, he had a rough idea of what was going on. He thought to himself, "Well, well, these young lads are all eyeing my Baby, not too shabby." Old Master Situ was irritated internally, but his face showed no sign of it. He approached Yu Qihao with a smile, "Qi Hao, what brings you looking for our Baby? Is there something you need?"
"Ah, I, I..." Yu Qihao was so nervous he couldn’t find the words to respond to Old Master Situ’s question.
Yu Qihao’s reaction only further convinced Situ Jin and Old Master Situ that this young man definitely had designs on their Baby.
"Ahem, Qi Hao, since there’s no urgent matter with Baby, why don’t you come to the training ground first and spar with Jin? It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you two go at it," Old Master Situ said, a sly glint in his eye.
"Let’s go, it’s been a long time since we’ve sparred," Situ Jin said, grabbing Yu Qihao without giving him a chance to react and dragging him off to the training ground.
Yu Qihao thought bitterly to himself, "What does he mean by ’it’s been a long time’ when we used to spar every day in the army. And I still need to confess to Xiao Xin." However, he did not dare contradict Old Master Situ’s intentions, especially since he was eyeing their precious granddaughter.
Thus, half willingly and half compelled, Yu Qihao was dragged to the training ground by Situ Jin.
Once they arrived at the training ground, Yu Qihao inevitably suffered a rough handling at the hands of Situ Jin. Yu Qihao’s martial arts skills were top-notch among his peers and even those older than him. But in front of Situ Jin, his skills were hardly noteworthy. Normally, Situ Jin would control himself during their sparring sessions, but today, he really let loose. Of course, Situ Jin holding back meant that Yu Qihao sustained only minor bruises.
"Hmm, not bad, Qi Hao’s skills have improved," Old Master Situ said with satisfaction, nodding at the sight of Yu Qihao’s injuries while still thinking, "Hmph. That’ll teach you all to keep an eye on my Baby."
"Thank you for the praise, Grandpa Situ. I think I need to work even harder so that I can catch up with Jin," Yu Qihao said after moving a bit to ease his sore body, approaching Old Master Situ, "Grandpa Situ, I think you and Jin know why I am here to see Xiao Xin today. I would like to ask you for an opportunity to express my feelings to her."
Before, he had been worried about this and that. But after being pummeled by Situ Jin, his mind had cleared up. He gathered his courage and was honest with Grandpa Situ.
Both Grandpa Situ and Situ Jin hadn’t expected Yu Qihao to openly admit his intentions. After hearing Yu Qihao’s words, Old Master Situ didn’t immediately reject him but instead lowered his head, stroking his chin absentmindedly. After a while, he looked up with a smile and said to Yu Qihao, "Go ahead, I’ll give you this one chance. But let’s make it clear, if my Baby rejects you, you can’t keep bothering her."
"Yes, if Xiao Xin rejects me, I will treat her as my sister from then on. I won’t be a persistent nuisance," Yu Qihao, relieved by Old Master Situ’s consent, said with a bright smile on his face.
"Well, go on. Baby is at home, probably having breakfast by now," Old Master Situ said, glancing at his watch.
"Then Grandpa, I’m going to look for Xiao Xin," Yu Qihao said, breaking into a run towards the exit of the training ground.
After Yu Qihao left, Situ Jin looked puzzled at his grandfather, "Grandpa, why would you agree to let Qi Hao confess his feelings to my sister?"
"Me? I’m giving Baby more options," Old Master Situ initially wanted to trouble Xiao Muli and make him uneasy. However, another idea came to him. "Jin, do you know how many boys around Baby’s age are in this compound?"
"Grandpa, what are you planning?" Situ Jin had a bad feeling, wondering what kind of scheme his grandfather was concocting now.
"What can I do, I have no choice. If it weren’t for that Xiao Family youngster, would I have to start looking for a husband for my granddaughter so soon?" Old Master Situ said, clearly annoyed. "Hmph, it’s not like the Xiao boy is the only good catch around. Not in this compound, not in all of Beijing. There must be plenty of outstanding young men. I must discuss this with your Grandpa Situ right away," Old Master Situ declared, and without waiting for Situ Jin’s response, he stood up and left, leaving Situ Jin both amused and bewildered, trying to comprehend his grandfather’s erratic thinking.
Yu Qihao quickly walked from the training ground to the Situ Family’s house. As soon as he entered, Old Madam Situ greeted him with a smile, "Qi Hao is here! Your Grandma Situ hasn’t seen you come over to visit for so long. Are you looking for Jin? He..."
Before Old Madam could finish, Yu Qihao interrupted her. It wasn’t that he was being impolite, but that he was anxious, fearing any further complications. "Grandma Situ, I’ve just returned from sparring with Jin at the training ground. I’m actually here to see Xiao Xin."
"Oh, looking for Xiao Xin? She is currently having breakfast," Old Madam Situ replied with a smile, though she was wondering to herself if this Yu Family boy had any ulterior motives regarding her Baby.
"Then Grandma Situ, I’ll go find Xiao Xin now."
"Go ahead, go ahead," said Old Madam, uttering go ahead twice, unlike the previous time when Xiao Muli had come, where she simply went about her own business. This time, she paid a bit of attention to Yu Qihao.
Yu Qihao, however, didn’t notice Old Madam’s lingering attention because, in the past, whenever he came to the Situ Family, she would greet them and then go on about her own affairs.
