When Grandma finished uttering that sentence, Xia Yangyang felt as though her heart came to a halt.
Grandma, do you know who you’re talking about here?
The youngest president of the Shengyuan Group, the genius master of the business realm, the controller of the prestigious Gu Family residing in the southern part of Kyoto who had the ability to sway the whole city.
Yet, according to her, he’s nothing more than a delicate woman.
My dear Grandma, can’t you save him some face?
Xia Yangyang guiltily glanced at Gu Qichen.
Yet, a soft light smile graced Gu Qichen’s face, his voice as pleasant as ever: “Grandma is right, I will make sure to exercise more in the future.”
With that, he threw a glance at Xia Yangyang.
Why was her heart pounding whenever she saw that playful tease in Gu Qichen’s eyes?
Grandma prepared her favorite dishes – stewed beef in a large pot, lima beans rice, stir-fried bread, steamed eggplant…
All were Xia Yangyang’s favorite homestyle dishes from her childhood.
The three of them had already taken seats around a small square table.
Turning to Xia Yangyang, Grandma said, “NanNan, eat more. Look at how thin you’ve become! It seems to me that you’ve lost a lot more weight since the last time you came home.”
Xia Yangyang hadn’t really lost weight; she ate quite a lot, but that was just her constitution.
No matter how much she ate, her weight didn’t fluctuate much.
Gu Qichen was still standing.
Until Grandma gave her permission, he didn’t dare sit.
Xia Yangyang hurriedly said, “Come on, take a seat and start eating, you know my Grandma cooks delicious food, authentic farmhouse dishes, you won’t find them anywhere else.”
Gu Qichen looked at Grandma, who finally said, “Let’s eat together.”
Gu Qichen took a seat.
After tasting a bite, he sincerely commented, “Grandma’s cooking skills are indeedremarkable. This braised pork is the best I’ve ever had.”
Ignoring his flattery, Grandma responded with, “Flatterer.”
Xia Yangyang thought her heart couldn’t take it anymore.
Surprisingly, Gu Qichen chuckled lightly, then continued eating his meal.
Even though all the wild rice dishes were Xia Yangyang’s favorites,
her mood throughout this meal felt as if she were on a roller coaster.
No matter what Gu Qichen said, Grandma would always find fault in his words.
Never in his life had Gu Qichen been treated in such a way.
Xia Yangyang was particularly afraid of offending him.
However, Gu Qichen maintained sophistication and politeness from start to finish, accepting all of Grandma’s remarks with a gentle smile on his face.
Yet, Xia Yangyang felt intensely guilty.
He had kindly accompanied her to visit her Grandma, but all he got in return was discomfort everywhere.
But Xia Yangyang understood her Grandma’s temperament; she was a stubborn old lady.
If Xia Yangyang stepped in to defend Gu Qichen, Grandma would lay it on even thicker with her comments.
So, Xia Yangyang dared not to say anything.
After dinner, Grandma stood straight up and commanded Gu Qichen, “Go fetch water from the courtyard to wash the dishes.”
Then she taken Xia Yangyang’s hand and said, “NanNan, I’ve made you a pair of winter cotton shoes. I used freshly picked cotton. Come with me and try them on to see if they fit.”
Xia Yangyang was in no mood to try on new shoes, all her mind was on Gu Qichen.
It was as if Grandma completely considered Gu Qichen as a servant.
Yet Gu Qichen was still extremely respectful, with no hint of anger visible on his face, he calmly complied, “Alright, Grandma, leave it to me.”
Grandma pulled Xia Yangyang into her room.
Xia Yangyang ultimately couldn’t hold it in and stuttered out a question, “Grandma, why do you dislike Ah Chen?”
As Grandma pulled out a pair of shoes from the closet, she snappily retorted, “You and your mother are the same, always choosing handsome men who are no good. Your father was a good-looking man, but what happened? Your mother passed away at such a young age, and within half a year, he married that woman called Liu Ruyan..”
