Chapter 980: 988 Oh~? Then I miss you (5)
Huo Jinnan looked at the old man, his voice cool, "I’m here to see my mom."
The old man, "..."
He leaned heavily on his cane and looked at Uncle Guan.
Uncle Guan understood the old man’s thoughts. Last night, during dinner, as soon as the lady received a phone call from the second young master, the old man secretly instructed Aunt Shen to tidy up the second young master’s room, replacing all the old and unusable items.
In the morning, he had even sent him out to buy fruit and vegetables.
He went to the kitchen to instruct Aunt Shen to prepare dinner.
The old man saw Uncle Guan leave, and a trace of frustration flickered on his face. Sitting there silently, he lowered his head, sullenly drinking tea, one cup after another.
Huo Jinnan helped Qin Huan sit next to Zhong Qin.
Qin Huan looked at Zhong Qin, "Mom, how has your health been lately?"
Zhong Qin smiled, "Quite good, Huanhuan. How has it been staying with the Qin Family these days? You look well."
Qin Huan smiled sweetly, "It’s been good. My grandpa and grandma care for me dearly, and my second and third brothers treat me very well. I’ve heard that daughters are always cherished in the Qin Family, which seems true."
Zhong Qin looked at Huo Jinnan and, seeing he was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Jinnan glanced at Huo Qichang, "Not going back to the army?"
Huo Qichang, "Not going back for now."
Huo Jinnan gave Huo Qichang a once-over, "Let’s talk in the study."
Huo Qichang smiled at Qin Huan, stood up, and followed Huo Jinnan to the study.
The old man sat listening, feeling that now Huo Jinnan had returned, acting like a leader, calling people over for a talk. Was he going to call him, this old man, over next?
Besides, the study was his. Since they were estranged, shouldn’t they at least mention using it?
Seeing Huo Jinnan and Huo Qichang head upstairs, he glanced at Qin Huan.
Qin Huan noticed the old man looking at her, but preoccupied with thoughts about her grandfather, she remained silent, diverting her gaze to continue chatting with Zhong Qin.
The old man’s heart was filled with competing emotions, his gaze lingered on Qin Huan’s belly, quickly shifting away, but he couldn’t help smiling.
Twin babies!
He recalled Xiaoqin’s phone call mentioning it might be boy-girl twins.
Did that mean more great-grandchildren soon?
Thinking about his relationship with Huo Jinnan, a mix of emotions overflowed.
Remembering how Qin Huan had scolded him at the Phoenix Nest, he glanced at her again. She seemed gentle and weak yet was not easily bullied!
Qin Huan noticed the old man looking at her again but still didn’t speak.
The old man’s face stiffened, leaning on his cane, he returned to his room.
Qin Huan observed and thought Huo Jinnan seemed quite familiar with his grandfather! It seemed living here would go smoothly.
Uncle Guan took a glance and entered the old man’s room.
The old man looked at Uncle Guan, "You know I had no intention of harming the child in her belly, it’s just worry."
Uncle Guan looked at the old man, "Yes, I know, but the second young master and second young lady may not."
The old man sat there silently. Should he personally explain? He wouldn’t go. Besides, even if it wasn’t his intention, Fang Tong’s matter was somewhat related to him. Explaining was pointless; Anan probably wouldn’t believe him.
Uncle Guan looked at the old man, "Old master, is there anything else you wish to instruct?"
The old man looked at Uncle Guan, "Didn’t you say Qin Huan was anemic? Let Aunt Shen learn to cook more iron-rich and blood-enriching dishes. She’s as thin as a bag of bones!"
Uncle Guan agreed and left.
The old man watched Uncle Guan leave, closed his eyes, and painfully said, "Qiming, father is sorry."
