Chapter 44 - Take your time (1/2)

After noticing Ling Yue's face, Xi Zihao regained his composure. ”Alright, just keep going, grandfather won't bother. Let's all get out,” he turned and shoo the people behind him. ”Ah wait a minute, it's better if there is evidence.”

Xi Zihao took out his cellphone and pointed it at the two 'lovebirds' who were overlapping on the black sofa. Take some photos. Bai Xu cleared his throat and fetched Xi Jian's grandfather's cane. ”Mr. Xi, that's not a photo, you're taking a video.”

”Oh really? Alright, I guess that's better.”

Ling Yue stood up hurriedly. ”Wait. Mr. Xi, don't get me wrong. I fell down and didn't—”

Xi Zihao waved his hand. ”We'll talk later.” Xi Zihao looked slowly at his grandson. ”Take your time and give me great-grandchildren soon.”

Whaaaaat?

Xi Zihao, Bai Xu and his assistants came out of there. Ling Yue swore she heard the old man's laughter before closing the door. Xi Zihao walked cheerfully, his hands busy typing messages to his hated best friend. ”This time, I will get Jiang Yue's descendants no matter what!”

Meanwhile, Xi Jian and Ling Yue did not speak at all in the room. Ling Yue cleared her throat.

”Your grandfather, is really something.” She snatched the pencil in Xi Jian's hand, curled her hair and jabbed the stationery back.

”If it wasn't for you, that old geezer wouldn't have misunderstood.” Xi Jian indirectly defended his grandfather. He picked up Ling Yue's glasses and stood before the woman. Ling Yue could even smell Xi Jian's body because he was too close.

”I-if you didn't fool me, I wouldn't come here!” Ling Yue stammered. Xi Jian brought the glass in his hand and put it on Ling Yue.

”Let's just say we're even. You shouldn't take off your sunglasses carelessly.”

Ling Yue narrowed her eyes. ”Now you sound like my brothers.”

Xi Jian stepped back. ”I'm not your brother.” suddenly hearing the word 'brother' pop out of her mouth, Xi Jian didn't feel happy. He sat down and back to work mode. ”About that lunch, I'll compensate you next time,” he said.

Ling Yue's grandfather's birthday party was held at the Old Mansion. It takes a full week of preparation to match the wishes of the grandfather. His grandfather called a few hours before the event began and asked Ling Yue to come first. Though she plans to come with her brothers.

”How could I let my only granddaughter dress like this?” Grandpa Ling shook his head. ”Fu Quo brought Ling Yue up, they were waiting for her there.”

Mr. Fu, who had dedicated his life as chief butler and assistant to Ling Yujin, escorted Ling Yue to the upper room. His younger brother, Fu Ruen worked as a butler at Ling Yue's residence.
