However, an even more shocking scene occurred.

Following the ear-piercing scream, Liao Xuexue, frightened, tried to avoid the snake by reflex. However, she lost her balance and was about to fall into the water.

Although the water by the shore wasn’t deep, it would indeed be too embarrassing for Liao Xuexue to bear.

Thinking of that, Mr. Liao exclaimed, “Xuexue, be careful!”

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was feeling depressed. Ye Chen had thought that with the equipment upgrade, the system upgrade, and the ritual at the shore, he would finally catch a live fish. Who knew that Ye Chen would actually catch such a thing even after putting in so much effort into preparation?

As Ye Chen heard Mr. Liao’s exclamation, he raised his head and saw Liao Xuexue’s pale face and her body leaning backward.

Ye Chen immediately rushed forward and grabbed her hand.

Liao Xuexue, who was in a state of shock, did not think much about it. At that moment, it was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving support.

At present, Liao Xuexue’s mind was blank. Even after Ye Chen pulled her up, Liao Xuexue was still in a daze.

Ye Chen, who was standing opposite Liao Xuexue, held her hand and looked at her with interest.

Meanwhile, Liao Xuexue, who was particularly afraid of snakes, looked at Ye Chen dazedly with tear-filled eyes.

Looking at the weak Liao Xuexue, one could not help but feel heartache.

However, to others, the way the two of them were holding hands seemed to be more than just a simple gesture of help.

That was especially so for the fishing pros who didn’t know about their relationship.

Face contorting, the group of people only had one thought in their minds. “D*mn it, this is so painful to watch. Just kill me. Forget it if my wife’s against me fishing, but why do I have to watch others’ public display of affection here? F*ck!”

However, Mr. Liao had the most obvious change in his mood. What he was afraid of really happened.

Mr. Liao had already warned his granddaughter countless times to stay away from Ye Chen.

Mr. Liao didn’t expect that even though he had been prepared, that brat still managed to seize an opportunity and hold his granddaughter’s hand. And with both hands, no less.

He’s actually holding his own granddaughter’s hand? And it was with two hands!

At once, Mr. Liao was flustered and exasperated. He shouted, “B*stard, let go of her!”

Ye Chen was stunned. Turned around to a furious Mr. Liao, he immediately let go.

At the same time, Ye Chen raised both his hands to show that he was innocent.

Meanwhile, Liao Xuexue, who had yet to completely get steady on her feet, lost her balance again. As her body lurched forward, Liao Xuexue subconsciously tried to grab Ye Chen’s hand. However, since Ye Chen had his hands raised, Liao Xuexue could only helplessly try to grab onto Ye Chen’s body.

The entire process happened in an instant, and Liao Xuexue reacted purely out of reflex. It was just like how a person would subconsciously grab anything around them before they fell.

The next second, Liao Xuexue, who had escaped the fall, was seen hugging Ye Chen’s waist with a face full of fear. As Liao Xuexue leaned on Ye Chen’s chest and tried to compose herself, she did not realize how her actions would look like in the eyes of others.

Liao Xuexue heard a familiar voice that was close to despair. “F*ck! F*ck!”

Liao Xuexue turned around and saw her grandfather’s dumbfounded expression. His entire face had turned green.

At the same time, her ears heard a heartbeat that suddenly accelerated.

When Liao Xuexue raised her head, she saw her “employer” similarly dumbfounded.

Quickly letting go of Ye Chen, Liao Xuexue steadied herself and took a few steps back away from both the water snake in the net and Ye Chen.

Even so, Liao Xuexue’s cheeks were still burning hot.

It was the first time in her life that she had been so intimate with someone of the opposite sex.

While Ye Chen raised his hands like a gentleman, Liao Xuexue had essentially pounced forward and hugged him.

Liao Xuexue was so embarrassed that she could wanted to dig a hole to hide in.

Her face was burning hot, and it was red all the way to her ears.

At such an awkward moment, Ye Chen, whether on purpose or not, actually mumbled, “Hmmmm. Smells so good!”

In the next second, Liao Xuexue’s face turned as red as the setting sun.

Mr. Liao, who noticed his granddaughter’s expression, mused, “Isn’t that a shy expression? F*ck! What I worried about really happened. This Ye Chen brat really knows how to fish for anything other than live fish. Xuexue and Ye Chen only met once, and she’s already entranced by him? F*ck! This b*stard not only got my granddaughter hooked, but he also got me hooked. From the moment I made the bet with him yesterday, I’ve already taken the bait.”

As for the bait for Mr. Liao, it was naturally the two expensive fishing rods.

The more Mr. Liao thought about it, the angrier he became.

It must’ve been Ye Chen’s grand scheme.

Mr. Liao looked at his shy granddaughter, and he repeatedly cursed Ye Chen in his heart, “Ye Chen, this b*stard. Seriously, f*ck!”

Most importantly, it was only the first day of the agreed week.

If Mr. Liao really let his granddaughter stay with Ye Chen for seven days, he would probably end up with a great-grandson by the end of the week.

At the thought of that, Mr. Liao had his heart filled with regret.

However, it was too late; he had already fallen into Ye Chen’s trap.

Mr. Liao was in a dilemma. Although he had fulfilled his promise, he had lied to his granddaughter.

Despite having lived for so long, Mr. Liao, the Angry Iron Hand, ended up falling for Ye Chen’s scheme.

Mr. Liao couldn’t help but be impressed by Ye Chen.

…

In fact, Mr. Liao was overthinking it because he was too determined to be on guard against Ye Chen. When he proposed the bet, Ye Chen merely wanted to tease Mr. Liao because of Mr. Liao’s nasty words the previous night.
