Chapter 1237: Chapter 1252: Tonight, I’m Yours (8)
"Second son’s hand is already like that, and all you noticed was his abs and ferocity?"
The word ’ferocity’ didn’t feel quite right as it slipped out, but it was too late for the old man to take it back. Having been earwormed by the old lady’s chatter every day, he had surprisingly picked up quite a few fresh terms.
The old lady nodded, "I saw it. He’s a man, after all. Besides, he’s so fierce. He got shot last time and it was nothing. This little injury is nothing."
The old man asked, "Are you really his grandmother?"
"No, I’m his step-grandmother."
The old lady sat on the bed and started watching a video again.
The old man rubbed his temples, still not recovered, and was stunned by what the old lady said next.
The old lady looked up at the old man, "Don’t you think an uncle and niece pairing is the loveliest kind?"
"...!"
The old man snatched the phone from the old lady’s hand.
The old lady protested, "Why are you grabbing my phone?"
The old man said, "Stop watching such nonsense."
The old lady suddenly seemed eager to argue, "What do you mean by nonsense?"
...
After Qiao Qiao and Qin Shaonan finished eating and went upstairs, as they passed by the old man and old lady’s room, they could hear the two arguing heatedly—
The old lady exclaimed excitedly, "Why can’t the second son and Qiao Qiao be together?"
The old man replied sternly, "The second son is Qiao Qiao’s third uncle!"
The old lady retorted indifferently, "I don’t see what the big deal is, there’s no blood relation anyway!"
The old man rolled his eyes at the old lady, "What will she call her own mother then?"
The old lady huffed, "Can’t she just call her nothing?"
The old man asked, "Won’t it be awkward when they meet?"
The old lady turned away, not wanting to look at this utterly unromantic and unamusing old man, "What’s so awkward about it? Besides, those two are adults hiding out overseas and hardly ever come back, there’s nothing to be awkward about."
The old man’s face turned completely dark, "What did you just say in your last sentence?"
The old lady turned back and shouted at the old man’s face, "Nothing to be awkward about!"
The old man got angry, "You still claim to be a proper lady!"
The old lady shouted even louder, "I’m a tough woman now!"
The old man said, "You... you get out."
"Fine, I’ll leave, and I won’t come back unless you beg me."
The old lady said this as she got out of bed, opened the wardrobe, and started packing her things.
The old man scoffed, "I couldn’t care less, like I’d ever beg you!"
The old lady kept packing as she said, "You just watch, the second son will end up a bachelor. Look at the fourth son; the second son’s already following quickly in his footsteps. All in all, if they really want to be together and get married, I’ll raise both hands and feet in approval."
"..."
"Hm, I’ve had it with being a proper lady for decades, it’s really boring!"
"..."
"If you don’t beg me, don’t dream of me coming back, you’ll just sleep alone in a cold bed!"
The old lady, in one breath, packed a whole suitcase of clothes.
The old man lay on the bed and watched, "The older you get, the more dramatic you become. Have you even thought about whether they could still be together after that night?"
The old lady thought about it too—
Glancing at the old man, she didn’t speak, dragged the suitcase out of the bedroom!
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Qin Shaonan and Qiao Qiao standing there, recalled what the old man said earlier, glanced at Qin Shaonan, then Qiao Qiao. Before she could say anything, Qin Shaonan already strode back to his room, slamming the door shut with a "bang—".
