Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Weiyi did not want to stay too long. The weather was too cold and she was afraid her babies would start to freeze.
Back at the s.h.i.+ mansion, Shen Lanzhi and Nuannuan had been busy the entire time to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner feast.
Uncle Yu also came to help. This year, Shen Lanzhi felt much more relaxed.
While the snowflakes fell outside the window and the winter white landscape really convinced one of the coldness of the weather outside, the interior of the house remained cozily warm.
Zuo Yi had always spent New Wear alone. Occasionally, Gu Yansheng would accompany him, but ever since Shen Ruoxi left, he had never been so happy.
He was able to reconcile with his old friend of many years. He also had an obedient and sensible granddaughter, and now he had two more great-grandchildren.
Thinking of this, his eyes could not help but redden as he sat on the sofa.
Suddenly, a phone rang.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan heard the familiar ringtone as she decorated the living room. She hurried to the coffee table and recognized the caller ID immediately: it was Xiangyi.
She happily picked up her cell phone and walked to the second floor!
s.h.i.+ Le, who was playing chess with Zuo Yi, was stunned when he saw his granddaughter’s actions.
This child was being so sneaky just to answer a phone call. Could she really be in love?
Who was It? That child, Cheng Huan?
But he didn’t seem to have seen that child recently. Could it be that the two of them had been in contact by phone?
With that in mind, he felt that it was time to call Old Man Cheng to wish him a happy new year.
He started to turn around to grab his phone but immediately noticed that Zuo Yi was looking a little dejected.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.”Zuo Yi straightened himself out and stared at the chessboard, acting as if nothing had happened.
His absent-mindedness had led him to get check-mated
“Checkmate!”
s.h.i.+ Le had a smug look on his face. He had finally won!
Zuo Yi glanced at him and didn’t say anything more. After all, winning or losing didn’t matter to him at all.
s.h.i.+ Le stood up. “I’m going to make a phone call.”
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the coffee table.
Before his hand touched the phone, the phone rang. He paused for a moment before picking it up.
Very soon, Old Man Cheng’s voice sounded from the phone.
“That’s great!”
No one knew what was said on the phone, but s.h.i.+ Le was beaming with joy.
After hanging up the phone, s.h.i.+ Le said to Zuo Weiyi and s.h.i.+ Yuting who were sitting on the sofa, “Old Man Cheng will come to our house for the New Year’s Eve feast as well.”
As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and looked in the direction of the second floor.
Could it be that the phone call was really from Cheng Huan?
Old Man Cheng called right after she had picked up her phone… Could it have been Cheng Huan after all?
As he thought about it, s.h.i.+ Le could not help but feel that this matter was really developing.
If he could really become in-laws with the Cheng family, he would naturally be happy. He also really liked that child Cheng Huan.
Night gradually fell. As the snowflakes stopped falling outside the window, the colorful lights around the s.h.i.+ mansion lit up one by one, lighting up the festive atmosphere of the night.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan had not come down from the second floor, even when it was time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
s.h.i.+ Le could not help but walk up to the second floor and knock on the door. “Nuannuan, what are you doing? Come down for dinner.”
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan lay on the bed and chatted happily with Xiangyi. She seemed to have forgotten that the New Year’s Eve dinner had already begun as night fell.
She only snapped back to reality when she heard the knock on the door. She turned around and saw that it was already dark outside the window.
When she heard her grandfather’s voice, she hurriedly shouted at the door. “I know, I’ll be right there!”
When he heard his granddaughter’s voice from inside the door, s.h.i.+ Le did not forget to press his face against the door as if he wanted to eavesdrop on whether that call was from Cheng Huan.
