Chapter 233

“Zhong Yuhuan really got spoiled into a little princess ahhh! A typical princess life, but no bratty attitude! How could she not be lovable?!”

Lang Jinzhi unconsciously smiled.

How could she not be lovable?

That’s right.

With Zhong Yuhuan walking in front, Lang Jinzhi stared at her back.

He thought, spoiled little princess? That’s not enough.

Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming had long arrived at Yuelan villa. These years, the Ding family’s servants were already familiar with them. They weren’t that close with Grandpa Ding, but still pretty familiar, so they could go to the villa without Zhong Yuhuan to visit Grandpa Ding.

The two took turns playing xiangqi against Grandpa Ding, then Zhong Yuhuan and Lang Jinzhi arrived.

In accordance with Grandpa Ding’s taste, breakfast was light, not greasy, but the dishes were pretty varied. Everyone ate breakfast while conversing with Grandpa Ding, two hours passing without notice.

After breakfast, everyone gathered around the sofa.

They weren’t in a hurry, so they could stay behind and talk for awhile.

Grandpa Ding smilingly said, “Grandpa’s watched Huanhuan’s show, every episode. And that what’s-it, that Weibo your cousin taught me. I specially made an account to follow Huanhuan.”

Zhong Yuhuan helped him sit, holding onto Grandpa Ding’s arm. “Grandpa’s so nice!”

Grandpa Ding’s facial features had lost the sharpness of his youth, appearing very kind now. “I also saw Huanhuan’s news, saying how Huanhuan and a boy are dating. His name is Wen-something. What’s the something?” Grandpa Ding looked at Lang Jinzhi while speaking.

Lang Jinzhi promptly added, “His name is Wen Yongchen.”

“Right, Wen Yongchen. Does he want to be Huanhuan’s boyfriend? If yes, then you should bring him for Grandpa to see.”

Just as Grandpa Ding finished, there was a “pa” sound.

Huo Chengming lowered his head expressionlessly. “Broke a teacup.”

“It’s alright. Pieces is peace*,” Grandpa Ding said with a good temper. He had lost the hard temper of his earlier years, and he knew that Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming’s careers were very good. Also, they still remember the kindness of Huanhuan, being very kind to her. So, naturally, Grandpa Ding would be kind and tolerant towards them.

*”碎碎平安” (碎 = broken piece 平安 = peace) is more or less homophones with “岁岁平安” which means “peace every year”

“Little Juan, bring a new teacup,” Grandpa Ding ordered a maid.

The maid obeyed.

Grandpa Ding then turned back, continuing to talk to Zhong Yuhuan, “We got interrupted just now, so let’s continue.”

Zhong Yuhuan hopelessly smiled. “He’s not my boyfriend yet. It was just a meal. The media caught the scene and spun it romantically.” At that point, she paused. “Of course, no one’s sure about the future. I can see that he has good feelings towards me, and I’m not pretending to be unaware. If interacting with him isn’t bad, I might try it out.”

“Good, good, you should be dating. Date for a few years, then marry. That would be great.” Grandpa Ding said smilingly, “Can’t be sure when Grandpa will see Huanhuan’s children…”

These words carried Grandpa Ding’s wish, but to Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming’s ears, it wasn’t moving at all. It could even be called harsh.

There was another “pa” sound.

“Another broken cup?” Grandpa Ding looked at him, laughing while crying.

Li Jinyuan: “Mhm, sorry, Grandpa.”

Grandpa Ding waved his hand, “It’s alright. Just bring me two new teacups next time.”

Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming hurriedly nodded together.

Lang Jinzhi only then said, “What were you saying? It’s still early.”

He believed that Zhong Yuhuan could date, but couldn’t imagine Zhong Yuhuan marrying and giving birth. In his eyes, this younger cousin was still young, still that young girl.

Everyone fooled around, conversing about other things.

Finally, Lang Jinzhi reminded, “It’s not that early. I should bring Huanhuan and them to the airport.”

Grandpa Ding reluctantly nodded.

Zhong Yuhuan stood up. “Wait for me. I’m going to the washroom.”

After speaking, she went to it with ease.

When she exited the washroom, she saw Huo Chengming standing outside, slightly bowing his head. For some reason, his back gave people a feeling of coldness.

“Huo Chengming?”

Zhong Yuhuan walked over, then softened her voice, calling out, “Brother Chengming?”

She couldn’t help but smile. “A washroom trip needs you to pick me up?”

Huo Chengming raised his head to face her.

His face was very solemn, his facial features tense. His gaze was deep, unintentionally sending out a feeling of sharpness.

This meant that it wasn’t Zhong Yuhuan’s misconception.

He was obviously in a bad mood, no, a very bad mood.

Zhong Yuhuan suddenly reacted. “Brother Chengming, you have something to say to me, right?”
