The Old Master looked at the obedient Xia Chuxue, feeling uneasy in his heart.
If she really is his biological granddaughter, he owes her more and more.
Regarding alchemy, he has always valued Nian Nian, and hasn’t devoted much effort to Chuxue. He even made her feel like a guest at the Feng Family.
Once it’s confird she truly is his biological granddaughter, the matter of her rightful recognition must be imdiately put on the agenda.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa will certainly eat more." The Old Master nodded, a pleasant smile on his face.
Xia Yinian glanced down at the dumplings in her bowl, and slightly furrowed her brows, scooping up one and putting it in her mouth.
Even if Xia Chuxue had more courage, she likely wouldn’t dare poison the Feng Family.
Her skills haven’t reached that level, and if anything happens, she won’t be able to escape either.
Xia Chuxue wouldn’t be foolish enough to risk her own life just to deal with her.
After confirming the safety of the dumplings, Xia Yinian chewed for a while and swallowed.
Breakfast ti for the three was always sowhat awkward.
It’s not that Xia Yinian dislikes talking, she just doesn’t like talking with Xia Chuxue.
After breakfast, Xia Chuxue insisted on going for a walk in the backyard with the Old Master, and he didn’t refuse.
After accompanying them to the backyard, Xia Yinian returned alone to the Alchemy Room.
An hour later, the Old Master ca to the Alchemy Room to find her.
Having opened the door to see the elderly man she’d been constantly thinking about, Xia Yinian laughed heartily.
Besides having many questions for him, she genuinely missed him.
The entire day, Xia Yinian and the Old Master spent their ti in the Alchemy Room.
When Xia Chuxue ca up, it was already around four in the afternoon, the door to the Alchemy Room was open, and she walked straight in.
Unexpectedly, she was frightened by what she saw.
The Alchemy Room contained quite a few pieces of equipnt and so finely crafted wooden cabinets.
As she passed the cabinets and glanced inside, she saw Xia Yinian resting her head on the table, possibly napping.
And beside her, the Old Master actually extended his hand to her scalp, lifting a bit of her hair.
Xia Chuxue clearly saw the Old Master pluck a strand of Xia Yinian’s hair.
Before anyone over there could react, she turned and imdiately left the Alchemy Room.
Just as Xia Chuxue rounded the corner of the stairs, Feng Rui, who had just left, returned here.
Xia Yinian, having had a strand of hair plucked, awoke from the pain on her scalp.
"Ah!" She murmured, lifting her head from the table to look at the Old Master.
"Grandpa... what ti is it now?"
"The result isn’t out yet, you should rest a bit longer," the Old Master reminded.
Xia Yinian looked at the equipnt, extending her hands to rub her face gently.
"I’m not sleepy anymore. I’ve said that not sleeping in the afternoon is fine, but once I fall asleep, I don’t want to wake up."
"Sleeping for twenty to thirty minutes doesn’t matter at all, it can even boost your work efficiency in the afternoon. You should sleep for a while."
The Old Master furrowed his brows slightly, taking out the item he had in his pocket.
His feelings were somber; only he understood the weight of them.
Since he couldn’t act upon Chuxue, why hadn’t he considered this direct thod?
The little granddaughter is one-of-a-kind, and if Nian Nian is confird to be, then Chuxue certainly isn’t.
In the mont when Xia Yinian wasn’t looking, he took a deep breath, trying hard to steady his emotions.
Xia Yinian nodded, stood up, and stretched.
"By the way, Grandpa, was it you who plucked my hair just now? It hurt a bit."
