But so what if he was? It really was Yuwen Jing.
Yuwen Jing didn’t know what Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu were talking about. When he saw Elder Liu looking at him, his eyes lit up. Yuwen Jing was a little confused, this was the first time he had received such treatment from Elder Liu.
“Grandpa, Meng’er, what are you talking about?” Yuwen Jing automatically changed the way he addressed Elder Liu. If it were any other time, Elder Liu would definitely correct Yuwen Jing with a straight face, saying that he and Chen Meng’er had yet to officially become husband and wife.
However, at this moment, Elder Liu only wanted to quickly change the topic just now.
Sometimes, Elder Liu thought that perhaps he was too arrogant. The heavens had specifically sent Chen Meng’er to teach him a lesson.
!!
“We were just talking about you. And then, speak of the devil, you’re here,” Elder Liu replied.
Chen Meng’er smiled and shook her head. Her grandfather knew that she wouldn’t expose him in public.
“Oh, really?” Yuwen Jing didn’t really believe Elder Liu’s words. He really didn’t believe that Elder Liu would talk about him with Chen Meng’er. He revealed such a smile.
“Hey, kid, what’s with that expression? You don’t believe what I said?” Elder Liu glared and asked unhappily.
“No, how could I not believe you? I’m just curious. I’m curious about what you’re saying about me.” Yuwen Jing didn’t dare make Elder Liu unhappy. If he angered this old man, things might fall apart.
Chen Meng’er watched Elder Liu and Yuwen Jing exchange pleasantries and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and secretly laugh. She wanted to see what kind of reason her grandfather would find to shut Yuwen Jing up.
Chen Meng’er had underestimated Elder Liu’s reaction. He blinked and found an excuse. “When are you and Meng’er getting engaged? And what are the two of you going to do? I’ll go back and discuss it with Meng’er’s other grandfather.”
Yuwen Jing’s eyes lit up when he heard Elder Liu mention his engagement with Chen Meng’er.
Chen Meng’er looked at her grandfather in disbelief. What did this have to do with anything?
“I think it’s best for Meng’er and I to get engaged as soon as possible.” Yuwen Jing wished that he could marry Chen Meng’er immediately and then hide her from everyone. However, Yuwen Jing also knew that this was impossible.
“We still have to pick a good day. There are also all kinds of ceremonies and things that can’t be missed. Meng’er is my baby. If you want to marry my baby, you have to be pa.s.sionate and sincere.” Elder Liu didn’t use this to brush Yuwen Jing off, these were his heartfelt words.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Meng’er is also my treasure. I won’t let her down. She will get the very best,” Yuwen Jing looked at Elder Liu and said seriously.
“Well, anyway, I see your sincerity. After you set the date, let me have a look. If there’s no problem, finalize the date.” Elder Liu made the decision.
“Okay, Grandpa. I’ll go and look at the date now.” Yuwen Jing was very anxious. As he said that, he didn’t have time to relieve his longing for Chen Meng’er. He left in a hurry and went to pick a date.
Looking at Yuwen Jing’s back as he left, Chen Meng’er couldn’t react for a long time.
“Grandpa, aren’t the two of you ignoring me too much? By the way, I’m also one of the parties involved, okay? When you two make a decision, shouldn’t you ask me?” Chen Meng’er was really speechless at Elder Liu and Yuwen Jing’s behavior.
Only then did Elder Liu realize what stupid thing he had done just now. He scratched his head in embarra.s.sment at Chen Meng’er and said, “Ah, I was so excited that I forgot about you.”
Chen Meng’er’s forehead was full of frown lines. What was her grandfather saying? He was so excited that he forgot about her? Could he be any more unreliable?
“Grandfather, you sold me out just like that. How are you going to explain this to my other grandfather and my two pairs of parents when you go back?” Chen Meng’er truly felt that the older her grandfather was, the more like a child he acted. He was so willful. She couldn’t even look straight at him.
Elder Liu was stunned by Chen Meng’er’s words. How could he have forgotten about them? Well, he had really gotten himself into big trouble this time.
“Ah, what should we do now?” Elder Liu patted his forehead and said to Chen Meng’er, “Meng’er, drink your afternoon tea by yourself. I’ll go call your other grandfather now and tell him about this matter. Otherwise, I don’t know how he’ll react if I tell him about this matter after I return to China.”
After Elder Liu said that, he left Chen Meng’er behind in a hurry.
As he walked, he kept muttering to himself. Chen Meng’er heard him say, “Ah, my brain is getting more and more useless. It looks like I really need to get Meng’er to give me some medicine to enhance my memory.”
However, Chen Meng’er felt that Elder Liu was cuter like this. It was exactly what she wanted to see.
It showed that he was living out his retirement happily.
“Chen Meng’er, can I talk to you?” Suddenly, a voice came from behind Chen Meng’er. Chen Meng’er turned her head and saw a girl dressed like a lady standing there.
Chen Meng’er remembered this girl. She had heard Baro mention to Allen that Yuwen Jing’s grandfather’s friend’s granddaughter seemed to be quite pitiful. Not long after she was born, her parents were gone, and she had always lived with her grandfather.
When she was about twelve years old, her grandfather unfortunately pa.s.sed away as well. Before his death, her grandfather had entrusted his only granddaughter to his most trusted friend, Yuwen Jing’s grandfather. Originally, her grandfather had wanted to pair her with Yuwen Jing. This way, he did not have to worry about his granddaughter’s future life. However, he had to give up because of Yuwen Jing’s insistence.
