A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 787: Reluctant!

Upon hearing that Jiang Jingheng had deep feelings for Mu Yan, with their grandson as a witness, Old Mrs. Zhuang was completely relieved.

She glanced at Zhuang Jiaoyang, with a warning in her eyes, that if she tried to stir up trouble here again, she would have to ask her to leave.

Zhuang Jiaoyang was already a bit uncomfortable, and instead of succeeding in her attempt to sow discord, she ended up being fed a mouthful of dog food.

She held back and said, "I’m going outside to get some air."

As soon as she stood up, her husband Hu Yuandong followed her out.

Liang Rong then said, "I’ll go upstairs to check if there’s anything missing in the rooms."

Ruan Xinyu said, "Then I’ll go see how the kitchen is preparing lunch."

Everyone in the living room dispersed, leaving only Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang, along with the two brothers, Zhuang Zeyang and Zhuang Shaoyang.

Mrs. Zhuang had a servant bring down a photo album from upstairs and was flipping through it with Mu Yan.

This album recorded the growth of a girl from birth to seven years old, from being swaddled to babbling and then blossoming into a little flower.

Mrs. Zhuang talked about some interesting things from Mu Yan’s childhood.

"You were so mischievous as a child. You didn’t like taking medicine when you were sick, and you would complain to your grandfather and me, saying that the nanny was a witch trying to get you to eat poison apples and drink poison."

Mu Yan didn’t have much of a recollection but was amused by the old lady’s humorous words.

She found it hard to imagine herself doing something so childish, but back then she was just a kid after all.

"Back then, your grandfather spoiled you so much that if you wanted the stars in the sky, he was willing to pluck them for you, which led to you causing quite a bit of chaos at home now and then."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan’s gaze fell on the old man opposite her, and she felt a sense of closeness.

However, the old man seemed a bit uneasy as he glanced at the old lady, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Look, your grandfather is feeling embarrassed," Mrs. Zhuang teased her granddaughter.

Mu Yan smiled slightly, "At first glance, I felt particularly close to Grandpa."

Mr. Zhuang’s gaze fell on his granddaughter, his expression softening as well.

"Of course, although your features resemble your mom’s, in some ways you take after your dad, but you also inherit from your grandfather. When you were little, even the grandfathers of your family friends said that you would grow up to inherit your grandfather’s mantle and become a general!"

Mu Yan was stunned upon hearing this and looked apologetically at Mr. Zhuang, "I might have disappointed Grandpa."

Mr. Zhuang was about to speak, but the old lady interrupted him.

"Disappointed or not, the idea of you joining the army doesn’t please me. If my precious granddaughter were to be exposed to the sun and rain, it would break my heart. The army is a matter for men, and you have your cousin for that."

Mu Yan chuckled and realized that whatever was said, Grandma would always defend her.

Mr. Zhuang frowned and said, "What kind of talk is that? Why can’t a girl join the army? What would those female soldiers feel hearing that?"

Old Mrs. Zhuang glared at him, "I can’t speak for other girls, but my granddaughter just can’t join the army. Would you bear to let her suffer in the military?"

Mr. Zhuang’s mouth opened and closed, and looking at Mu Yan’s beautiful and delicate appearance, he ultimately stayed silent.

Alright, he couldn’t bear it.

Having been married for decades, Old Mrs. Zhuang knew her husband’s thoughts all too well—serious and stiff, an old relic.

But when it comes to his granddaughter, he immediately becomes a doting grandfather.

What can you do, Nuannuan is just so adorable.
