Chapter 138: Group Pet Na x Group Deception Chen.

Chapter 138

In the car, Xiao Chen was too shy to say anything else, he just threw her a look. A look that only she could understand.

The car stopped at the entrance of the residential complex.

Xiao Chen lifted his chin and pointed at Yu Na's side of the car window, "Look over there."

Yu Na turned her head to see her grandparents-in-law huddled together, waiting for them.

She had seen photos before. The elderly couple took good care of themselves and looked quite young. They had an outstanding temperament, especially grandmother - one look and you could guess she must have been very beautiful when she was young.

Xiao Chen had said his grandparents were in excellent health. Every day, rain or shine, they would go out to exercise. Perhaps that was one reason why they looked so young.

The old couple seemed to have noticed the people sitting in the car. From the moment they saw the car, their eyes had been fixed right here.

The residential area was located in the center of North City. It had been renovated so the environment was not bad - clean and comfortable. There were elevators and amenities were quite complete nearby.

It had more of a down-to-earth feel compared to high-end complexes.

Yu Na slipped her hand into Xiao Chen's pocket and pinched his fingers. "I'm suddenly feeling a little nervous..."

"Nervous about what?" He laughed as he looked out the window. "They can't wait anymore, let's go."

Xiao Chen opened the car door. Yu Na got out from his side and said again, "I really am a bit nervous!"

Her words had just fallen -

"Na Na?"

The voice came from the direction of the grandparents.

Xiao Chen chuckled softly and took over the luggage from the driver, thanking him.

Yu Na stiffened as she turned around. She had been very nervous initially but relaxed a little when she saw the elder couple's kindly faces.

She took the initiative to greet them, "Hello Grandfather, Hello Grandmother."

The grandparents brushed past Xiao Chen and went up to Yu Na. Seeing their grandson's wife, they were delighted, the corners of their mouths turning up as they showered her with compliments:

"She looks so beautiful!"

"Even prettier than in the photos!"

"Grandma's made lots of tasty food for you. I wasn't sure what you liked to eat so I made a bit of everything. Come, let's hurry home."

"Oh your hands are so cold!"

"Is it because you're not used to the weather here? Don't worry, it's warm at home. Let's go."

"..."

The two of them spoke one after another while Yu Na stood between them, unable to get a word in. She could only smile and respond politely, "Alright, thank you Grandfather and Grandmother."

Xiao Chen stood behind Yu Na and draped his arms over his grandparents' shoulders, a meaningful expression on his face as he asked in jest, "Grandfather, Grandmother, do you still remember who I am?"

Seeing the visitors, Xiao Chen reacted as if they were family since he used to play with them frequently as a child. He accepted the pears readily and even took the initiative to ask if they wanted to play cards over the next few days.

Yu Na thought to herself, he really manages to get along well with people from all age groups.

Grandmother was preparing food in the kitchen while Grandfather went to retrieve snacks he bought that morning.

Only Xiao Chen and Yu Na were left alone in the living room. She still felt rather ill at ease.

Xiao Chen sat next to her, his arm around her waist. "Feeling nervous?"

Embarrassed, she replied, "Mm."

"It's alright. They're just being overly warm. Our family will all be here tomorrow anyway."

Tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

Xiao Chen said, "Qiao Rui is coming tomorrow too."

Yu Na was surprised. "Ah? He's coming as well?"

"Mm. My maternal grandparents passed away early so Qiao Rui comes here to play every New Year. My grandfather is very fond of him." He paused for a bit before continuing, "Qiao Rui's parents are coming tomorrow too. He's always talking about calling his parents. Tomorrow his real parents will be here."

When Yu Na heard that, she instantly became interested, her eyes lighting up. "Oh that's right! You've reminded me, I really do need to chat with his parents."

Xiao Chen leisurely concurred, "He pesters you daily. Here's your chance for revenge."

With one arm wrapped around Yu Na's waist and his other hand holding a frozen pear the neighbors gifted, he brought it to her lips. "Try it."

Yu Na examined the blackish fruit doubtfully. "What's this?"

He answered serenely, "You'll know once you try it."

"Oh."

Yu Na wanted to take it from him but Xiao Chen stopped her. "It's too cold, don't freeze your hands. Just bite it directly."

"Alright."

Not noticing his mischievous grin at all or doubting his intention one bit, Yu Na unhesitatingly leaned forward to bite the rock-hard frozen pear he held.

Just then -

Grandmother's flustered voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Dear Na Na, you can't bite it directly!"

But Yu Na had already bitten down. Her expression froze abruptly, eyebrows knitted together tightly. "Mm..."

Unable to hold back his laughter after the successful prank, Xiao Chen let out a snigger.

The very next second though, Grandmother's resounding slap, brimming with the desire for revenge on Yu Na's behalf, accurately landed on Xiao Chen's back.

The crisp, loud "slap!"

Xiao Chen: "..."
