The Xia family always had more men than women. Now, Ye Jian was here, and when she smiled, there was a gentle aura around her. The more the old madam looked at her, the happier she felt.
Ye Jian, whose nervousness had subsided a lot, answered the old madam's questions one by one. She was neither anxious nor slow. She replied calmly without any stage fright. Her natural and unrestrained appearance made the old madam and Aunt Fang secretly exchange happy glances many times.
As the sun set, the old madam stopped asking Ye Jian to chat with her. She said to Xia Jinyuan, "Go and let Little Ye look around our house. Jinnian is playing chess with two old men. I won't ask him to go with you."
She created an opportunity for her grandson.
How could Xia Jinyuan not understand? He wanted to hold Ye Jian's hand and leave with her. Ye Jian pretended not to notice it and left the tea room under the smiling gaze of the old madam.
"Ah Yuan has really found a good wife. Ning Fang, look at Little Ye. Oh my, this child is really good-looking. Her dark eyes are like stars. She's really beautiful. I like her just by looking at her."
"Do you just think that your future granddaughter-in-law is pretty? Is there nothing else about her?" Aunt Fang laughed along with the old madam. She was right. Ye Jian was indeed beautiful.
"She's good in all other aspects too. She has a good personality and a good temper. She doesn't talk much, but every word she says is sharp. It's obvious that she's smart and reasonable. The more I look at her, the happier I feel. Oh my, I'll probably laugh in my dreams for the next few nights."
The smile on Aunt Fang's face got deeper. "When she officially becomes your granddaughter-in-law, you'll be even happier."
"That's right, that's right. I've been waiting for this day. Ning Fang, hurry up and go to the kitchen to take a look. Brew the soup carefully. I saw the redness in Little Ye's eyes. I'm afraid that she caught a cold. Since she's here now, I need to let her recuperate.
"Ask the kitchen to cook some black chicken soup as that can replenish blood and nourish energy. I'll ask her to bring it home and drink it tomorrow.
"She's still young, so her body can take it now. But when she gets older, she'll be at a disadvantage. I have to take care of her."I think you should take a look at
The old madam instructed carefully and didn't forget to prepare soup for Ye Jian to have tomorrow. It could be seen that she really liked Ye Jian.
Xia Jinyuan always thought that his little fox would definitely be liked by his grandparents. When they saw her today, the smiles in their eyes never diminished.
Grandpa invited the Demon King in to play chess, while Grandma immediately asked him to bring the little fox around the house. It was clear they wanted to think of a way to create a chance for him to be alone with the little fox.
Ye Jian understood their intentions.
Because she understood, she pretended not to see Xia Jinyuan reaching out to hold her hand when she left the tea room.
"I'm really surprised today. I didn't expect you to come to the old residence with your grandfather. I've been thinking about it, but I didn't actually bring you over. Today, your grandfather finally fulfilled one of my wishes.
"Little fox, does this mean that Grandpa Fu has already acknowledged me as his future grandson-in-law and handed you over to me without any worries?"
When he walked out of the back garden, Lieutenant Colonel Xia couldn't help but hold Ye Jian's hand. He was too happy. The gentleness in his deep eyes was as deep as water. He got close to Ye Jian and didn't want her to walk out of his sight for a second.
Ye Jian felt that he was thinking too much.
Raising her eyebrows slightly, she smiled and said, "My grandpa only said that he came to visit Grandpa Xia. As for me, I'm just accompanying Grandpa here. He never said that he'd entrust me to you."
He was so proud that she couldn't help but want to take him down a notch.
