“Hey, you kid, don’t tell me you’ve actually fallen for Chu Xi? You two have been acting really strange today…”
Looking at Qiao Chu Xi’s flushed face and the frequent exchanged glances between the two, Old Master Qiao asked somewhat uncertainly. As his words fell, Qiao Chu Xi’s face grew even redder.
“Grandpa, how can you talk like that? Do you think I can’t even get married?”
Stomping her foot in anger,乔Chu Xi felt deeply indignant. How could it sound as if her grandfather thought she wouldn’t be able to find a husband? After all, she was quite a beauty! Admittedly, the line of suitors chasing after her might not stretch from Linjiang all the way to the capital, but there were certainly quite a few of them.
“Grandpa didn’t mean it like that at all. I just got a bit excited and started babbling nonsense. Xiao Fan, you know what I mean, right?”
Old Master Qiao chuckled awkwardly. It was indeed somewhat inappropriate to ask such a question to the younger generation. However, thinking about his granddaughter being with Xiao Yufan, he couldn’t help but feel thrilled. If they could solidify relations with the Situ family, how could the Qiao family not prosper?
Moreover, burdening a woman with the entire responsibility of the Qiao family made Old Master Qiao feel remorseful. He finally understood why, despite his repeated persuasion before, the girl had remained unmoved. It turned out she had already given her heart to someone else…
“I’ve always had deep feelings for Chu Xi, and I hope Grandpa won’t stand in our way!”
Xiao Yufan smiled. The old man’s words were indeed sharp, momentarily leaving him unsure how to respond. But since the old master had asked, naturally, he had to answer…
Now that he had decided to accept this girl, he naturally had to shoulder a certain responsibility.
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Qiao Chu Xi lowered her head, a subtle wave of emotion stirring in her heart. She had been the one to make the first move, yet this man was now claiming he had always truly loved her, merely trying to save her from embarrassment. After all, it was quite humiliating for a girl to be the one pursuing a boy.
Of course, at this moment, Old Master Qiao was naturally the most excited. The more he looked at Xiao Yufan, the more genuine his words seemed. In other words, the two had truly become a couple, and he wouldn’t have to worry about anything else anymore.
“Haha, matters between young people should be decided by yourselves. How could I possibly interfere?”
Delighted, Old Master Qiao said cheerfully. Truthfully, he had wanted to bring the two together in the first place. How could he possibly oppose it now? Besides, he didn’t seem to have any reason to stop them anyway. His granddaughter had always liked this young man. It was naturally a win-win situation.
“Hehe, looks like Grandpa has given his blessing. You’ll never escape now!”
Turning to glance at Qiao Chu Xi’s blushing cheek, Xiao Yufan smiled, his affectionate eyes gleaming with an unusual sparkle…
“Who said anything about running away?” Qiao Chu Xi’s face turned slightly red. She hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to look at her so tenderly in front of her grandfather. Didn’t this rascal know that she could get embarrassed too?
Listening to their rather open conversation, Old Master Qiao didn’t interrupt. This news was undoubtedly good for both him and the entire Qiao family. Entrusting his granddaughter to a man like this, naturally, he felt completely at ease.
“And at a time like this, you still call me Grandpa? Since I’ve already given my granddaughter to you, can’t I even earn the title of Grandpa?”
Joy brings vigor to a person. Old Master Qiao felt as if he had become years younger. Even his voice had become noticeably louder, drawing glances from the Qiao family’s servants…
“Isn’t this all happening a bit too soon…?”
Qiao Chu Xi was also concerned about making Xiao Yufan feel uneasy. Therefore, before Xiao Yufan could even speak, she quickly interrupted. Her sensitive heart didn’t wish for Xiao Yufan to have any other thoughts.
“Seems not too soon at all. Didn’t Xiao Fan say he liked our Chu Xi long before?”
Old Master Qiao was now determined to settle this matter once and for all. His eyes fixed intently on Xiao Yufan, clearly implying that if he didn’t change his address, he wouldn’t hand over his granddaughter.
“Grandpa, it was my oversight. I should have addressed you as such long ago!”
Xiao Yufan said with a helpless smile. He knew that if he didn’t change his address today, the old master would definitely not let him off the hook. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Old Master Qiao burst into loud laughter…
