Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 1568: Chapter 1568: Not Charming Enough?

"Grandpa, I know, I’ve always supported him no matter what, so don’t pick on me~"

Nangong Qingcheng saw her grandpa making a big deal out of scolding her and protested in a spoiled, playful tone.

In her eyes, she really was already very sensible; she’d never tried to tie Jiang Feng’s hands or feet in anything. To Jiang Feng, wasn’t that the greatest kind of trust and support?

"Haha, that’s good then." Nangong Honghu also knew he couldn’t nag too much, so he smiled and switched topics: "You two rarely come to see me, why not stay a bit longer? Don’t leave this afternoon, have dinner here and leave after you’ve eaten, how about it?"

Nangong Qingcheng lifted her eyes to look at Jiang Feng. She was fine with it; it depended on Jiang Feng’s opinion.

Jiang Feng naturally had no problem either. He nodded with a smile and said, "Sure. But we don’t need to trouble the nanny with dinner, I’ll cook myself. And I can have a drink with you tonight, Grandpa."

"Jiang Feng! Grandpa’s heart and body are so frail, how can you let him drink?" Nangong Qingcheng shot Jiang Feng a glare.

"Haha, says who? I have to drink tonight! If I don’t drink, I won’t agree to it!" Nangong Honghu hadn’t enjoyed this kind of family happiness in way too long. Delighted, he said, "My body’s fine, I know my own limits!"

"Alright then, I’ll go out to buy groceries this afternoon and show off a few dishes tonight." Jiang Feng said with a laugh.

Nangong Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng again. This guy only knew how to coax Grandpa into being happy. But she herself hadn’t eaten Jiang Feng’s cooking in a long time either, so she was looking forward to it.

"Oh right, Qingcheng, have you seen your parents recently?" Nangong Honghu suddenly thought of something and asked.

Nangong Qingcheng froze for a moment, then shook her head. "No, it’s been a long time since we had any contact. My mom hasn’t even called me once..."

To put it bluntly, it really was like she’d cut ties with her parents.

Ever since she insisted on guarding her engagement to Jiang Feng, her parents had never been able to stand him. Then so many things happened afterward, and now it was already clearly divided into two camps.

Nangong Jinrong and Wu Peixia treated it as if they’d never had this daughter. Even when Nangong Qingcheng’s company ran into a crisis and then quickly developed and expanded, the two of them didn’t so much as ask about it.

When Nangong Qingcheng thought of their coldness and meanness, she was both angry and sad, but more than anything, she felt helpless.

"Totally out of line! If I get the chance, I definitely need to give the two of them a good talking to. Qingcheng, you’re so sensible, and Xiao Feng is such a rare, excellent son-in-law. I really don’t know what’s going on in their heads—must be full of holes!" Nangong Honghu said in dissatisfaction.

"Don’t, Grandpa. My parents have their own ideas, you can’t force them to change. I believe that one day they’ll understand me and truly, from the heart, accept Jiang Feng. If the day we get married comes and they don’t show up, I’d feel really bad. I hope to receive their blessing." Nangong Qingcheng hurriedly stopped her grandpa, her face full of sincerity.

"You really are the sensible one, Qingcheng." Nangong Honghu sighed, reached out and gently stroked Nangong Qingcheng’s silky hair. "If your parents were half as worry-free as you, that would be great. They’re not young anymore, already at that age and still don’t know what they’re doing with their lives!"

Right now Jiang Feng couldn’t get a word in.

He had even less goodwill toward the couple Nangong Jinrong and Wu Peixia. If it weren’t for Qingcheng’s sake, he probably wouldn’t spare those two a glance.

And up till now, the two of them still had prejudice against him, looking down on him. Neither side could stand the other.

"Hehe, alright, my fault, I shouldn’t have brought up these unhappy things. Xiao Feng and Qingcheng, you two just came over, and you probably haven’t had a noon nap yet, right? Why don’t you go to that small room and sleep for a bit? Ever since you left last time, I haven’t touched anything in there, aside from cleaning... From now on, when you come here, that’ll be your little couple’s exclusive room."

Nangong Honghu pointed in the direction of the small room again and said with a smile.

Swish!

Hearing him mention that small room again, Nangong Qingcheng’s pretty face instantly flushed bright red!

She could still clearly remember the scene of squeezing into that little bed in that room together with Jiang Feng last time.

Back then, Ye Feng had really acted up, even shamelessly trying to strip her clothes, making her so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground...

Now Grandpa was bringing it up again, wasn’t he just making things extra awkward for her?

"I...I’m not sleepy..." Nangong Qingcheng hurriedly protested, her face flushing like a crystal-clear peach, smooth and delicate.

"The Old Man is truly wise. I just got back to Binhai today and I’m exhausted, so I’ll gladly take you up on that."

Jiang Feng acted like he’d finally seized an opportunity. He grabbed Nangong Qingcheng’s hand and stood up with a grin.

Nangong Qingcheng’s little mouth formed an "O". Of course she knew this bad guy was up to no good again. She wanted to struggle, but Jiang Feng had already pulled her off the sofa, and half dragging, half coaxing, led her toward the small room.

"Jiang Feng, y-you jerk... Let me go!"

Being treated so roughly by Jiang Feng right in front of Grandpa, how could she not feel mortified? She scolded him, annoyed and flustered.

But her strength was nowhere near Jiang Feng’s. She couldn’t break free at all, and could only be dragged in by him like a little white rabbit in the clutches of a big gray wolf, as he domineeringly pulled her inside and shut the door.

Outside, Nangong Honghu watched this scene, finding it quite amusing, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

He remembered that last time when he kept the young couple here, he’d even deliberately brought up the topic of them giving him a great-grandson. He wanted to see the fourth generation.

But now he couldn’t really bring up that matter anymore. After all, Nangong Qingcheng and Ye Feng were both busy; he shouldn’t put pressure on them, and it wasn’t realistic anyway...

Looks like he’d just have to try his best to live a few more years. Good things take time.

...

Inside the small room.

After being dragged in roughly by Jiang Feng, Nangong Qingcheng’s cheeks stayed flushed and hot.

When she saw Jiang Feng close the door, she became even more shy and sat on the bed, shooting him a fierce glare. "Jiang Feng, don’t even think about it! I’m not going to agree to you doing what you did last time again. You’ve just come back and you already want to scheme against me—no way!"

Going by what Grandpa just said, she did support Jiang Feng, yes, but this guy was really too infuriating. He’d just come back and still hadn’t properly coaxed her, and kept hiding things and acting mysterious. She was not going to just go along with his plans for nothing!

If Jiang Feng didn’t cherish her gentleness, then she’d punish him, make him crave and keep him hanging!

"What are you talking about? Who said I was going to do anything to you? I’m really just tired and wanted to come in and rest for a bit. And if you don’t come along, wouldn’t that make the Old Man think our relationship isn’t good? That’s all there is to it!" Jiang Feng put on an innocent expression as he drew the curtains.

Nangong Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat bewildered.

Could it be that she was overthinking it?

This time Jiang Feng didn’t want to do anything naughty to her... because he felt she wasn’t attractive enough anymore?

"You... you..."

For some reason, Nangong Qingcheng suddenly felt a little anxious inside, and also a bit indignant. She puffed her cheeks and glared at Jiang Feng, her expression filled with resentment and grievance.
