Chapter 291: Zuo Yi’s Reluctance
Moreover, there were a lot of things that she still has to figure out, and there were still many things that she wanted to ask s.h.i.+ Yuting.
As she thought about it, Zuo Weiyi looked at Zuo Yi before she nodded. “Yes. Grandpa Zuo, thank you for taking care of me and looking out for me.”
Zuo Yi could not help but feel a little disappointed when he heard her reply.
He really wanted to keep her by his side so that he could make up for the debt that he owed toward her grandmother, mother, and herself throughout all these years.
“Will you regret it?” Zuo Yi asked as he looked at her.
In fact, it was not that he disliked s.h.i.+ Yuting. Even though he had his own share of grievances with s.h.i.+ Le, Zuo Yi had always admired s.h.i.+ Yuting from the bottom of his heart.
After all, even though he was still very young, he could solve many tedious national affairs, and this was the reason why he was elected as the next presidential candidate.
However, Zuo Yi understood s.h.i.+ Le’s character and personality very well. Therefore, he knew that it was completely impossible for him to accept an illegitimate child as his granddaughter-in-law.
He also knew that s.h.i.+ Yuting obviously did not have as much power as his grandfather. Therefore, Zuo Yi did not want his precious granddaughter to be wronged, and he did not want her to suffer any grievances at all.
Zuo Weiyi also felt a little lost when she saw the desolate expression on Zuo Yi’s face. She could not understand why Grandpa Zuo was so concerned about her.
Zuo Weiyi did not know what she should reply to his question.
After all, who knows what would happen tomorrow?
She did not know if she would regret her decision, and she did not know if s.h.i.+ Yuting would be able to give her a future. However, she knew that she was deeply in love with this man and if he was not engaged to Tengtang Xi, then she would definitely go back to the seaside villa with him.
She was not going to give up on her relations.h.i.+p just like that!
Zuo Weiyi smiled as she looked at Zuo Yi and said, “I don’t know, Grandpa Zuo. I will only think about it when I start having any regrets!”
Right now, all that she wanted was to go home with the man that she loved.
Zuo Yi was a little disappointed when he heard her answer.
“Alright then. If you are unhappy or if s.h.i.+ Yuting bullies you, do not hesitate to come and look for me. Grandpa Zuo will protect you!”
Zuo Weiyi was very flattered that he was pampering her so much.
She smiled as she nodded slightly. “Okay!”
Zuo Weiyi felt that Grandpa Zuo was a really good and kind person.
If it was not because of her humbler background, she would really love to have a grandfather like him.
s.h.i.+ Yuting who was standing nearby could not help but frown when he heard their conversation.
Why was Zuo Yi so kind toward Zuo Weiyi?
The expression on Zuo Yi’s face was the kind of expression that could only be found between relatives. This was the exact expression that his grandfather always had when he was pampering and doting on s.h.i.+ Nuannuan.
Moreover, Zuo Yi was usually not such an amicable person. However, s.h.i.+ Yuting could not understand why Zuo Yi had a very loving and cordial expression on his face when he looked at Zuo Weiyi.
As he raised his head to look at Zuo Yi, s.h.i.+ Yuting frowned as a strange feeling of discomfort suddenly appeared in his heart.
Was it possible that this old man was interested in Zuo Weiyi? Was he trying to s.n.a.t.c.h his woman from him?
Possessiveness was a man’s nature, and when he thought about it, s.h.i.+ Yuting grabbed Zuo Weiyi’s hand and said, “Let’s go home now!”
Zuo Weiyi was completely caught off guard as s.h.i.+ Yuting dragged her out of Zuo Yi’s house immediately.
Zuo Yi’s eyes were filled with dismay as he watched both of them leave.
What reason should he come up with so that Zuo Weiyi would come back to accompany him occasionally?
Zuo Yi felt very sad when he thought about it.
After s.h.i.+ Yuting and Zuo Weiyi left, Uncle Yu walked over to Zuo Yi’s side to comfort him. Uncle Yu felt very distressed when he saw the reluctance in Zuo Yi’s eyes.
