"I’m sorry, I was rude." Old Master Feng finally managed to control his emotions, looking at her with eyes full of relief.
"You are such an obedient child, your grandfather must be very happy to have such a good granddaughter."
Xia Yinian’s heart skipped a beat, she shook her head subconsciously.
Her grandfather would never feel happy because of her; she was not a child of the Xia Family at all.
No wonder Grandpa never liked her since she was small, and everyone from the Xia Family could bully her—it turned out to be simply because she was not the young lady of the Xia Family.
Everyone knew, only she was always unaware.
Seeing her shake her head, Old Master Feng was a bit surprised: "What’s wrong? Nian Nian, are you unhappy?"
"No, it’s just that I feel Grandpa Feng is really nice." Xia Yinian stood up and took the position of Feng Rui, pushing Old Master Feng for a slow walk in the Jasmine Forest.
"This place is so beautiful, it looks like it’s taken care of by soone regularly and with great care."
"Do you like it? If you do, you can co to visit often."
Old Master Feng was eager for her to stay with him, but, she was from Ye City; she had to return before long.
"Regarding what Yifan did to you, I..."
"It’s okay, Grandpa Feng, I don’t plan to tell Uncle or the people from the Gu Family about this."
Xia Yinian looked down at him, smiling: "My Uncle... he has quite a temper, Grandpa Feng..."
"Seventh Young Master Gu’s temper is well-known in the underworld; I was actually planning to apologize to him in person."
Feng Yifan had already been sent away by him, temporarily sent abroad to avoid the lilight.
Although he was also angry with that worthless kid for what he did to Xia Yinian, after all, he was his own grandson.
"I will take this responsibility; it was my Feng Family who wronged you."
"Grandpa Feng, as I said, I don’t plan to discuss this matter with Uncle; can we pretend it never happened, okay?"
Now Uncle still thought that the whip scars on her were from the ti in Joyful Forest; since the matter had already been defined that way, it was settled.
She didn’t pity Feng Yifan, but she felt sorry for the old master.
"Grandpa Feng, we’re going back to Ye City tomorrow."
"So soon?" The old master was shocked, almost standing up from the wheelchair.
Looking back at her, his gaze was complicated, clearly reluctant.
"So soon... I thought you would stay for a few more days."
"This ti Uncle destroyed a stronghold of Qianqiu Sect, they’re saying Uncle and Qianqiu Sect are now completely opposed."
"Here is Yaoshan, after all not within Uncle’s sphere of influence; we still need to go back to Ye City, to be more secure."
After all, now that Uncle is injured, he needs to rest and recuperate, returning to Ye City is the best option.
Old Master Feng actually knew as well, it’s just, he truly couldn’t bear to let her go.
"Nian Nian... I’ll call you Nian Nian from now on, and you, like Yan, can just call Grandpa."
Grandpa... these two words, inexplicably, gave Xia Yinian a surge of sourness in her heart.
After having such a bad, bad grandfather, now, to call another person who was kind to her Grandpa, it felt really bittersweet.
"If you... don’t wish to, it’s okay." Old Master Feng knew that his request might seem a bit too much.
He sighed silently: "Wait and go with ..."
"Grandpa." Xia Yinian bit her lip, looked at him shyly, and called again: "Grandpa."
Old Master Feng was so moved that even his fingertips trembled.
Even if she’s not his own granddaughter, what does it matter? She so resembled Jing Chu, resembled Feng Sui, resembled Rourou.
Everything was enough.
