Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since Chu Nan was already working so hard, Xia Zhi could no longer remain still. She had to make use of the opportunity his hard work had provided. After thinking for a while, she said, “Grandpa, actually, after chatting with Chu Nan online for the past few days, I feel that I’m starting to like him, so you don’t have to worry about relationships at all.”

Of course, Chu Nan knew that it was all a story

However, his heart still skipped a beat when he heard Xia Zhi’s words. He turned to look at her with a smoldering, intense gaze.

However, Chu Nan restrained himself and retracted his gaze. He did not want to scare Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi did not notice Chu Nan’s gaze, but Wang Sheng did. He originally suspected that the little girl was only asking Chu Nan to cooperate with her to put up an act in front of him. However, after seeing Chu Nan’s gaze on the little girl, he was no longer so sure. It was possible that he truly liked her.

However, one was saying that it was love at first sight, while the other was saying that they had developed a good impression of each other in just a few days. Wang Sheng could not see any reliable reason to be convinced.

Wang Sheng frowned and said, “This is all happening too soon. It definitely won’t go far. They were just emotions born in a spur of the moment.”

Chu Nan had been very courteous with the old man thus far, but at this point, he made his stance. “Grandpa, I am certain that my love for Zhizhi is not a spur of the moment. I want to be with her until we grow old.”

Even Xia Zhi almost believed his words for a moment.

When Xia Zhi met Chu Nan’s gaze, her heart seemed to stop. Her eyes flickered as she avoided Chu Nan’s gaze.

Wang Sheng shook his head helplessly as he looked on. Why did he feel that his little girl would go through a difficult future?

He would have to keep his guard up.

Wang Sheng steeled himself and continued to speak to Chu Nan. “The age gap between you two is too much. Your interests and hobbies will definitely be different in the future. Young people are fickle. I’m afraid that you won’t put up with her for long.”

Chu Nan lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “I can accept Zhizhi picking up new interests. I can accept everything she does. I’m just afraid she won’t accept me. Because of my legs, I may not be able to have all the fun in the world with her.”

Wang Sheng was stunned. He almost regretted asking this question. His mouth opened and closed. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Actually, your reservedness would complement her wild fire. Little Zhi is a naughty one. You could temper her.”

Grandpa changed his mind so quickly that Xia Zhi almost couldn’t keep up.

Chu Nan smiled and said to Wang Sheng, “Thank you, Grandpa, for believing in me and Zhizhi.”

Wang Sheng finally realized that something was amiss. Too late, he realized that he had been tricked.

However, he could not possibly take his words back now. Wang Sheng could only say with a dark expression, “Although I acknowledge you, you and Chu Ci are still related. Considering the nature of your engagement, it’s inevitable that rumors will spread in the outside world. Moreover, Chu Ci’s family will inevitably harbor some thoughts in their hearts.”

Chu Nan replied without hesitation, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this. Nobody would dare speak of this.”

“As for Chu Ci’s family…” Chu Nan lowered his voice, but a murderous look flashed in his eyes. “They won’t dare to cause any trouble. Not with me around.”

What happened to the third branch of the Chu Family was enough to remind Chu Ci’s Family that if they did not know what was good for them, Chu Nan did not mind showing them.

Wang Sheng was relieved after hearing Chu Nan’s words. He believed that Chu Nan was a man of his words. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Xiao Nan, come with me to the study room to have a chat.”

Xia Zhi knew that her grandfather planned to keep something from her.

Zhao Shan couldn’t hold it in anymore. She leaned closer to Xia Zhi and asked softly, “Is what you and Chu Nan said just now true?”
