“Grandpa?” Xiao Yufan’s gaze abruptly shifted from the elder to Yu Yihan’s delicate, pretty face, instantly feeling a sense of surprise…
All his previous suspicions had now become reality, and some puzzles were gradually being solved. Xiao Yufan never expected that Grandpa Yu would actually be Yu Yihan’s grandfather. No wonder a woman could possess her own company in a complicated place like Beijing.
“So Grandpa Yu is our beautiful CEO’s grandfather. That explains it…”
“What does that have to do with you? Scum!” Before Xiao Yufan could finish speaking, Yu Yihan directly interrupted him, clearly still filled with anger.
Instantly at a loss for words, Xiao Yufan found himself completely outmatched by this fiery girl. Yu Yihan, who always defied expectations, constantly frustrated him, and most importantly, she never showed him any respect, no matter the situation.
Grandpa Yu watched the two bickering with great interest, a warm smile curling his lips. He knew his stubborn granddaughter all too well…
“I wonder what Grandpa Yu wants to talk to me about. As you can see, our CEO has absolutely no interest in me!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to argue with Yu Yihan again, so he helplessly turned his gaze to Grandpa Yu. More than anything, he wanted to know what the elder wished to discuss with him.
“Before we proceed, I hope you can honestly answer one question for me…”
“Even if I had two胆子 (courage), I wouldn’t dare hide anything from you!” Xiao Yufan flashed a fawning smile. He held a deep respect for this elder who wielded great influence in political circles.
“What do you think of our Yihan? If you had to choose someone to spend the rest of your life with, would you choose her?”
Grandpa Yu’s smile carried an undeniable authority. Though his expression remained cheerful, everyone could sense the unique intensity hidden beneath that smile.
Stunned, Xiao Yufan didn’t understand why Grandpa Yu would ask such a question. However, he clearly sensed that after those words, the entire hall’s atmosphere had become somewhat ambiguous…
A charming blush appeared on Yu Yihan’s face, her expression carrying a delicate shyness. Many men secretly swallowed hard, captivated by her increasingly enchanting beauty.
Upon hearing this, Qin Menglu’s delicate frame trembled. She knew her cousin’s feelings for Xiao Yufan all too well, and she understood that Yu Yihan surely held a significant place in Xiao Yufan’s heart.
She didn’t mind the presence of other women around Xiao Yufan, but she lacked confidence—if Yu Yihan and Xiao Yufan ended up together, would he still love her the same? Yet, deep down, she felt a strange anticipation…
Tian Xuan’s expression remained unchanged. In her view, as long as the women around Xiao Yufan could benefit him, she wouldn’t mind at all. After all, Yu Yihan was far from being just a mere ornament.
“President Yu is very beautiful and exceptionally outstanding. I believe there are enough people who like her to stretch from here to the Fifth Ring Road…”
“I’m asking how you feel about Yihan. Don’t try to change the subject. Don’t think just because you have Old Master Situ backing you, I won’t dare to do anything to you!”
The gentleness in Grandpa Yu’s eyes instantly turned icy cold. He fixed Xiao Yufan with an intense stare, as if trying to pierce right through him. Under such a gaze, even Xiao Yufan, with his strong will, felt a chill run through his spine.
“What if I told you that I really like Yihan too? From the moment we first met, and through all the little moments since then, I admit that I’ve grown accustomed to having her by my side. And during the year I was away, she was among the people I missed…”
Driven by some unknown force, Xiao Yufan poured out everything in one breath. Not only was Yu Yihan taken aback, but even Grandpa Yu was caught off guard by his candor.
Then Grandpa Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, the smile in them vanishing in an instant. At that moment, he inexplicably felt a surge of excitement…
“Like her? Then I’ll entrust Yihan to you. I don’t care how many other women you have around you, but remember this—you hurt Yihan, and no matter how much Old Master Situ protects you, I’ll make sure you regret it!”
A sly gleam flickered in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, Grandpa Yu’s gaze turned more playful. Observing the varied expressions on their faces, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.
“I’m not unmarriageable. There’s really no need for you to worry about me. If you keep meddling in my affairs, just wait and see—if I won’t return home ever again!”
Yu Yihan’s face flushed deeply, even reaching her ears. Her heart was a tangle of emotions. Seeing Xiao Yufan’s shocked expression, she felt deeply wronged—why was it so hard to love someone secretly?
Compared to Yu Yihan’s shyness, Xiao Yufan experienced a completely different feeling. Happiness seemed to have come too suddenly. He hadn’t even fully grasped the situation before so many things had already happened…
Her delicate demeanor made Yu Yihan seem like a graceful princess. If she had been an icy beauty just minutes ago, now she was like a passionate and enchanting fairy, evoking a desire in everyone to possess her.
At Yu Yihan’s defiance, Grandpa Yu’s smile immediately faded somewhat, his expression tinged with guilt…
He owed his granddaughter far too much, so he was doing his utmost to make amends. This conversation with Xiao Yufan had been entirely to understand Yu Yihan’s feelings, but he didn’t wish to force anything.
“If Grandpa Yu truly entrusts Yihan to me, I will definitely take good care of her. If I ever treat her badly, you can do whatever you wish with me…”
Not waiting for Grandpa Yu to say more, Xiao Yufan quickly jumped in. If he didn’t seize this opportunity, who knew what trials he and Yu Yihan might still face.
He couldn’t deny his feelings for Yu Yihan. Xiao Yufan knew there was a destined connection between them. He didn’t want to run from this emotion, nor did he wish to go against his true heart…
“The rest is up to you young people to decide. Just don’t disappoint me—I only have this one granddaughter…”
Giving Xiao Yufan a knowing look, Grandpa Yu silently sighed, “Master Situ, although you raised a fine grandson, I raised a fine granddaughter too. One thing subdues another. Haha…”
