Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Uncle Nan, you haven’t had enough of your own grandson yet, and you’re already thinking of carrying mine?” Gu Wencheng smiled at the sudden mention of childbirth.
“How can you have enough children?” Uncle Nan said, “For people our age, having a child is a blessing. Besides, how can your child be the same as my son’s child? You and Nianyao are both good-looking, so the child you give birth to will also be first-class good-looking.”
Gu Wencheng was amused by Uncle Nan. Just as he was about to speak, there was movement upstairs.
Meng Nianyao was wearing a dark red cheongsam and high heels of the same color. Grandma Gu had skillfully tied her hair into a bun with a tassel hairpin on it. Her every move was like that of a noble lady from the Republic of China.
Gu Wencheng was stunned for a moment. When Meng Nianyao stopped on the stairs, he came back to his senses and smiled. “Mrs. Gu, you’re very beautiful.”
Meng Nianyao smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gu Wencheng only had eyes for Meng Nianyao. Grandma Gu was very satisfied as she watched this scene from the sidelines.
“Aiyo, this is the grandson 1 raised. He’s forgotten about Grandma after marrying his wife.” Grandma Gu’s voice was full of laughter.
Gu Wencheng smiled and walked up to them. He grabbed Grandma Gu’s hand and kissed her back like a gentleman. “May 1 have the honor of having you dance a waltz?”
“Little bastard!” Before Grandma Gu could say anything, Grandpa Gu’s voice rang out. He had come out of the study and was standing behind Grandma Gu and Meng Nianyao. “If you want to dance, go dance with your own wife!”
Everyone in the living room burst into laughter when they heard Grandpa Gu’s words.
Gu Wencheng let go of Grandma Gu’s hand and turned to Meng Nianyao. “Then, Mrs. Gu, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?”
Meng Nianyao was speechless. She did not know how to dance; she had tried before, but her body’s lack of coordination made her give up.
“That…I won’t. I can’t dance.”
“It’s okay. I can teach you.” Gu Wencheng took Meng Nianyao’s hand, then wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her up from the stairs. “Uncle Nan, play us some music.”
Grandma Gu had long seen through Gu Wencheng’s true intentions. Now, she laughed and scolded, “You little brat, you’re just itching to dance with your wife, aren’t you?! Nianyao, don’t show mercy later, stomp on him hard!”
Meng Nianyao was suddenly picked up by Gu Wencheng. She subconsciously reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I really don’t know how to dance, Gu Wencheng.”
“Dad, Mom, what’s everyone doing?” Gu Guanping and Lin Ping had returned. As soon as they spoke, the entire living room fell silent.
The smile on Lin Ping’s face disappeared when she saw Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng hugging each other. Meng Nianyao felt more at ease in front of Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu. However, Gu Guanping and Lin Ping had returned. She patted Gu Wencheng and asked him to put her down. Then she stood to the side and greeted, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Gu Guanping responded with a grunt, but Lin Ping did not say anything. The smile on Grandma Gu’s face faded a little after they entered. When she saw Lin Ping’s attitude towards Meng Nianyao, the smile on her face completely disappeared.
“You’re back. Since everyone’s here, let’s eat.” Grandma Gu wasn’t saying anything, so Grandpa Gu could only speak up on her behalf. Then, he gestured for Uncle Nan to go to the kitchen to prepare.
Grandma Gu was about to say something, but Grandpa Gu pulled her back. In the end, she did not say anything and went to the dining room with him.
Gu Wencheng didn’t greet Gu Guanping and Lin Ping. Gu Guanping looked at him with an unpleasant expression.
After Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Lin Ping, and Gu Guanping entered the dining room, Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao were still in the living room. Meng Nianyao looked at Gu Wencheng and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. Gu Wencheng noticed her gaze and turned to smile at her. He took her hand and led her to the dining room.
Grandma Gu waved at Meng Nianyao, gesturing for her to sit beside her. Meng Nianyao smiled and let go of Gu Wencheng’s hand before walking towards Grandma Gu. They were very quiet during the meal. When they were almost done, Gu Guanping spoke. “I haven’t been home for too long. I forgot that today is New Year’s Day.”
“What else do you remember?” Grandpa Gu snorted. You probably don’t even remember New Year’s Eve.”
Gu Guanping could not say anything after being rebuked by Grandpa Gu. His expression was a little awlward. Grandma Gu wasn’t satisfied with them and didn’t want to be the peacemaker anymore, instead focusing on helping Meng Nianyao with the food. “Nianyao, eat more. You’re too skinny.”
“Alright. “Meng Nianyao smiled and lowered her head to eat..
