Chapter 987 - Engaged Couple (1/2)

When Ling Sheng suddenly heard ‘Mr. and Mrs. Huo’, she didn’t realize who he was talking about at first.

Seeing her confused look, Jun Shiyan reached out to scratch the tip of her nose and said, “Your grandparents.”

When Ling Sheng heard this, she was like a frightened little rabbit. She hurriedly pushed him away and jumped far away. She patted her heart nervously. “What are they here for? Didn’t I tell my dad everything?”

“They’re worried about you!” Jun Shiyan’s smile became increasingly gentle. He had chosen the right grandparents indeed. But he was really dissatisfied with the father!

But there was no way to enjoy the best of both worlds. He had searched through the entire China, but he was the only one who was slightly better. In the end, he had no choice but to choose him. Forget it. Since he had already chosen, he could only walk down the same path until he reached the end.

When Su Xiyin and Huo Xiao were invited in, they saw Ling Sheng waiting for them at the entrance before they even arrived!

Su Xiyin took a few quick steps forward and held her hand. “It’s so windy, and it’s even snowing now! Are you waiting at the door to ‘feed’ on the northwestern wind[1]!”

Ling Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Grandma, why are you and Grandpa here?”

When Su Xiyin heard her call her ‘Grandma’, and that she didn’t become aloof with them, her heart, which had been hanging in the air along the way here, finally settled. She felt a little flustered and gave her a look before saying softly, “How can Grandpa and Grandma feel assured when you left with someone for no clear reason?”

Ling Sheng said, “Grandma, it’s all right. Third Master isn’t a bad person. He’s my…”

“Who’s he to you? Your husband?” Su Xiyin pulled on Ling Sheng and refused to let her in. When she saw Jun Shiyan and Huo Xiao enter the living room, she then sighed and reprimanded her. “Child, how old are you? What’s wrong with you? Look at you!”

“Grandma, he’s really my fiancé.” Ling Sheng changed how she phrased her words. “We’re engaged.”

“Then, why didn’t you say anything when I asked you two days ago?!” Su Xiyin was a little angry at her, but she still couldn’t help feeling worried and distressed for her. “I asked you, but you still said that you don’t have a family.”

“I’ve always lived overseas. I just came back but got into a fight with him. In a fit of anger, I left. Who knew that I would get lost? I couldn’t find my way home, nor could I find him. When I saw my dad… no, when I saw Sixth Young Master, he looked exactly the same as my dad when he was young. I couldn’t help it.” As Ling Sheng thought of the unfamiliar environment when she had just arrived and how there was no one she knew, she couldn’t help feeling sad, and her big eyes were full of tears. “I miss my dad.”

Seeing her in this state, Su Xiyin couldn’t bear to berate her anymore. She hugged her and pulled her into the living room while warming up her hands. “Then, just tell Grandpa and Grandma!”

“I’m afraid that after I tell you, you’ll chase me away. That you won’t want me anymore.” Ling Sheng’s tears fell as she looked at her grandmother. “I heard that Third Master is very unpopular in the capital. Everyone hates him, so they’ll definitely hate me!”

Jun Shiyan was talking to Huo Xiao when he happened to hear this. He saw that the young lady’s eyes were red, and she was lying with a straight face. Great. Now, he has even become a huge villain whom everyone fears. He passed a cup of tea to Huo Xiao. “I’m really sorry. I originally thought of bringing her to the Huo residence to visit you two elders tomorrow to express my gratitude. And to thank you for taking care of her.”

Huo Xiao’s face was covered with a scowl. “Are the both of you really engaged?”

Jun Shiyan made a sound of acknowledgment. “My family and hers are long-time friends. Her family passed away early, and her grandfather and mine are sworn brothers. Before he passed, he entrusted her to me and arranged a marriage between us. We’ll get married when she becomes an adult.”

“Third Jun, don’t blame me for being nosy. After all, you’re making verbal statements without any proof.” Huo Xiao knew that he shouldn’t meddle in other people’s family matters, but he just couldn’t help it!
