Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Old Master Qi is a Living Treasure_1

Capital, Qi’s Old House.

Upon seeing the robust, spirited old man awaiting him at the courtyard entrance, Qi Yunjue’s face gradually turned cold.

At his side, Qi Tiantian also looked at Old Master Qi standing at the gate with confusion, "Grandpa Zheng, didn’t you say you were seriously ill, on your deathbed? How did you get out of bed?"

Hearing Qi Tiantian’s innocent words, Old Master Qi felt a bit guilty.

Just as he was about to explain, however, Qi Tiantian, with a grave expression on her face, clung to his thigh crying loudly, "Grandpa Zheng, aren’t you coming to the end and about to die? I don’t want you to die. If you die, there will no longer be anyone accompanying me to eat lollipops and read romance novels in bed ..."

Old Master Qi: ...

He is already dead!

Dead from embarrassment!

Fearing that Qi Tiantian would reveal more of his dirty laundry, Old Master Qi squatted and quickly covered her mouth, whispering, "Tian Tian, Grandpa Zheng won’t die! You mustn’t be sad ..."

Old Master Qi thought his reassurance would silence Qi Tiantian. However, Qi Tiantian continued sobbing, "I know, when a person who is seriously sick suddenly regains energy, it’s called pre-death rallying. Grandpa Zheng is going to die soon, how can I not be heartbroken? No one would go downstairs with me to hear the gossip or accompany me to the sidewalk sale to buy romance novels ... I’m so sad ..."

Forcibly being pronounced dead and put on blast by Qi Tiantian, Old Master Qi: ...

He was now utterly speechless.

If he had known that feigning illness would result in Qi Tiantian exposing all his private matters, he would have come up with a different plan.

Now, instead of prying into his eldest grandson’s secret love life, his own secrets had all been exposed by his great-granddaughter.

What authority would be left for him in this family?

"Tian Tian, Grandpa Zheng was actually not sick at all. I missed you all so much that I lied about being ill. Don’t you remember, we pledged that it’s our secret and will never be disclosed? Remember, even if Grandpa Zheng dies one day, you must never reveal any of this!"

He could stand if his dirty laundry was aired out among the family, but if he truly died and his great-granddaughter cried over his coffin like this, his reputation would be totally ruined.

To prevent himself from rolling in his grave, Old Master Qi could only admit to his lie!

Even though he had confessed, Qi Tiantian utterly disbelieved him and continued to cry heartbreakingly.

Having no other choice, Old Master Qi could only run three circles around the front yard to prove that he wasn’t in his pre-death rallying state.

Seeing that Old Master Qi was still briskly alive after running for so long, Qi Tiantian finally believed that he was not sick.

However, the moment one problem subsided, another rose.

With tear-streaked cheeks, Qi Tiantian righteously said, "Grandpa Zheng, lying is wrong! If you missed us, you could have video called or phoned me instead of lying?"

Being reprimanded, Old Master Qi was immediately taken aback.

He couldn’t say to Qi Tiantian outright that he used such a lame trick all because he was too eager to know about her dad’s love life, could he?

At the height of Old Master Qi’s embarrassment, Madam Qi stepped in to defuse the awkwardness.

She took out several thick books from behind her, smiling, "Tian Tian, didn’t you say you wanted the other volumes of that romance novel series? I just collected an author-signed edition for you~"

Upon seeing the novels she had been longing for, Qi Tiantian, no longer bothering to scold Old Master Qi, trotted upstairs to read with Madam Qi.

"Grandpa Zheng, if you’re alright, then it’s all good!"

Qi Momo was a sensible and kind child who didn’t expose other people’s lies. To spare Old Master Qi any more embarrassment, he promptly went upstairs after saying this.

Feeling the weird atmosphere, Qi Yunyang quickly found an excuse to slip away, not wanting any part of it.

Thus, the expansive front yard of Qi’s house was left with only Qi Yunjue and Old Master Qi ...
