A faint smile appeared on the corners of Gu Yicheng’s lips, and he said, “The child is just joking.”
An An blinked.
She was serious and not playing around.
The little dumpling was upright: “It’s really a hundred years old.”
Amid Cen Yanjun’s merciless laughter and the two young people’s reserved smiles, Mr. Gu’s old face became serious again.
What was the point of arguing with a little girl?
He simply let the topic go and turned to look at Mo Sui: “Mo Sui, come to my study. I have something to tell you.”
“Dad, the car hasn’t turned off yet.”
Facing this father-in-law, Mo Sui knew how to fool around and not make him look bad, but she also didn’t want to be an obedient and well-behaved daughter-in-law.
“Then, go and extinguish—” Before Mr. Gu could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Gu Yicheng.
“It’s getting late. An An needs to go home and sleep.” Gu Yicheng said, “I’ll come back another day to listen to your lesson.”
Mr. Gu wanted to blow his beard and glare again.
But, Cen Yanjun glanced at him: “Why do you have to say it at this time? At this time, the little girl is going to sleep. If others stop you when you should sleep, would you like it?”
After the words fell, she greeted them with a smile: “Yicheng, Mo Sui, take An An back.”
Mo Sui asked An An to say goodbye to her grandparents.
The little dumpling trotted up to Cen Yanjun, waved her little hands, and softly shouted: “Goodbye, Grandma.”
Gu Yicheng shed tears of sympathy for himself.
She had only met his mother for a day, and she was already willing to call her grandma.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood there and turned to look in the direction of Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu put on a stinky face, picked up the tea, and took a sip.
An An said politely: “Grandpa*, goodbye.”
*大爷, dàyé: term of respect for older man
While An An calls Cen Yanjun 奶奶 (nǎinai): (informal) grandma (paternal grandmother), which is more intimate.
Gu Yicheng said happily.
Fortunately, his father was not treated well, otherwise, he would have doubted himself even more.
Mr. Gu was about to spit out a mouthful of tea, but he couldn’t behave like a child, so he said angrily to Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui: “Since the child is in your home, you have to take care of it and teach it. Just now this girl didn’t know your mother at all, but she followed after her. What should you do if she meets a bad person next time?”
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui’s attention was distracted and their expressions became serious.
An An opened her eyes wide.
Why was the old man still snitching? (T/N: This old man holds grudges! Don’t mess with me, haha…)
…
A family of three left the Gu family villa.
On the way here just now, Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui were sitting in the driver’s seat and passenger seat respectively. At that time, there was a feeling of déjà vu in the air, which made him recall the past inadvertently.
He thought that she should have the same idea because this was the only time in the year since their marriage that the two of them were not tit-for-tat when they were alone together.
Gu Yicheng missed this feeling and was ready to experience it again on his way home.
The car door opened and he carried An An into the back seat: “A person should be well-behaved.”
But who knew, An An whispered: “There are two people…”
Gu Yicheng raised his eyes and saw on the other side that Mo Sui had opened the car door and got into the back seat.
When the two of them looked at each other, she still showed a puzzled expression.
Mo Sui: “What’s wrong?”
Gu Yicheng gritted his teeth and said, “Nothing!”
