Chapter 614: Chapter 614 Peeking at Their Treasure (1)_1

"I just went to the hospital to see Muli and happened to run into Baby," Situ Jin was saying when Old Master Situ interrupted him, "That’s nothing. It was Baby who saved Muli’s life. These past few days, she has to check on Muli’s pulse every day."

Old Master Loo also nodded in agreement, implying that Situ Xin’s appearance at the hospital was a normal occurrence for them.

"When I got there, Baby was not taking Muli’s pulse. She was feeding Muli an apple. Baby was feeding him personally." As soon as Situ Jin finished his sentence, the two old masters, who had been sitting there as if nothing was wrong, suddenly couldn’t sit still anymore and jumped up.

"What? That Xiao Muli, he dares," Old Master Loo said with a glare and puffing cheeks.

"That Xiao Muli has got some nerve, letting our Baby feed him." If Xiao Muli were here at this moment, Old Master Situ would surely grab him and give him a good scolding.

"Grandpa, Grandfather, there’s something even more serious," Situ Jin said as he watched his own grandfather and maternal grandfather fuming at the news before even hearing the whole story. If he told them what was to come, these two old masters would surely rush to the hospital to settle scores with Xiao Muli.

"Speak," said Old Master Loo and Old Master Situ almost in unison, with urgency in their voice.

Old Madam Situ, who had been busy in the kitchen, hurried over when she heard the commotion, intending to ask what had happened. But before she could say a word, she understood the situation by listening to the exchange between her two sons and Situ Jin.

Loo Yaxin, who came back with Situ Jin, stood on the side, listening to the conversation between the two old masters and Situ Jin. She could hardly get a word in, and like Old Madam Situ, she too was curious about what Xiao Muli had done to upset their son (grandson) so much.

Seeing the outraged expressions of his grandfather and maternal grandfather, Situ Jin, who himself was furious and wished he could personally teach Xiao Muli a lesson, couldn’t help but sweat for his brother at heart.

"Muli. He said, he likes Baby," Situ Jin hadn’t finished speaking when Old Master Situ blurted out, "What? You’re saying Muli likes our Baby?" Old Master Situ was aware that their precious one was outstanding and would have many suitors in the future, but now, the idea of someone eyeing their Baby was disagreeable to them.

They still wanted to keep their Baby at home for a few more years.

"Situ, what’s the hurry? Let Muli like our Baby if he wants to. It’s his own business, as long as our Baby has no feelings for Muli," said Old Master Loo, who seemed to see things more clearly than Old Master Situ. The Yu family’s boy, Yu Qihao, also liked their Baby, but since their Baby had no feelings for him, nothing had come of it.

"That’s right," Old Master Situ calmed down immediately after Elder Loo’s reminder. His temper, which was about to explode, cooled the next second, and he peacefully sat back down.

Situ Jin was baffled as he watched the two old masters, who had been on the verge of a thunderous rage just a second ago, now sitting there calmly, sipping tea, and continuing their unfinished chess game. What had gotten into his grandpa and maternal grandfather? Weren’t they supposed to be furious at the thought of someone coveting their Baby and ready to confront Xiao Muli? Situ Jin swallowed hard, glancing at his mother and grandmother in confusion, and cautiously said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, Muli is coveting our Baby."

"Yes, we know," Old Master Loo said as he placed another chess piece.

"Shouldn’t you go find Muli and make him give up on the idea of our Baby?" Situ Jin probed, trying to gauge what his grandpa and maternal grandfather were thinking.

"No need to go, why bother? It’s Muli who has feelings for our Baby, not the other way around," Old Master Situ stated as he made his chess move.

Situ Jin was at a loss for words after hearing Old Master Situ’s response.

He had wanted to say that Muli and their Baby had a very close relationship and that there was something unusual between the two. But now, after his grandpa and maternal grandfather’s response, Situ Jin was uncertain whether to voice these thoughts or not.

So Situ Jin just stood there, stunned. Meanwhile, Loo Yaxin and Old Madam Situ, the two women, had a completely different mindset from the men in the family. They only cared about whether the person Situ Xin liked had good character, treated Situ Xin well, and whether Situ Xin liked them back—they had no objections at all.

"Jin, sit down and have some snacks. These were personally made by Baby; they taste really good," Loo Yaxin couldn’t bear to see Situ Jin standing there in a daze and called him back to his senses.

And when Situ Xin got home, apart from the strange looks Situ Jin gave her, which made her feel oddly uncomfortable and somewhat baffled,

no one else in the family showed any signs of being affected by the news Situ Jin had shared earlier. It was as if they hadn’t heard any of it at all. Because of this, Situ Xin had no idea that her family was already aware of Xiao Muli’s feelings for her.

In the hospital, Xiao Muli, who had been eagerly waiting for Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo to come to the hospital to question him and ask about his relationship with Situ Xin, ended up waiting until the sky turned dark without seeing the angry faces of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.

Instead, it was his own grandfather who showed up.

Xiao Muli’s heart sank the moment he saw his grandfather, Old Master Xiao, walk in. He had been hoping for someone else.

Old Master Xiao, seeing the disappointment fleeting across his grandson’s face, couldn’t help but laugh at the irony. He had come all this way to see the kid, and this was the greeting he got. "Humph," Old Master Xiao snorted and then said, "What’s with that expression? Seeing your grandfather disappoints you that much?"

Old Master Xiao glanced at Xiao Muli with a warning look, as if ready to pick up something and give his grandson a good scolding if he gave the wrong answer.
