Chapter 56 - Who’s The Best? (2/2)

”Scared?” Qiu Ling went into a daze, before he grew furious. ”Who dares to scare my —” He went into a coughing fit, before calming down instantly. Damn. He had nearly blurted out his real thoughts. This has to stop, seriously. Or else, I'll be the one to scare the boy. ”What I wanted to say: Who would dare to scare the people I care about? Just tell me, who did it. I'll go and beat them up for you!” Mn. The fist spoke louder than words.

”It's my uncle!”

”Your uncle?” Qiu Ling blinked. Had his uncle done something? Furthermore: Could he beat his uncle up?

”He wants me to meet a girl!”

”Ah?”

Jing Yi scrunched up his face again. He somehow felt, like his grandfather wasn't paying enough attention. What was wrong with him today? What should he do, if his grandfather didn't help him?

Qiu Ling put a hand to his forehead. Right, there was something like that … His memories of Jing He had sidetracked him so much, that he totally forgot about the problem at hand! But with Jing Yi's reminder, he came back to the point instantly.

”How dare he!” He clenched his fists. No, this couldn't be allowed!

Jing Yi's face lit up at his grandfather's fierce attitude. He would definitely help him!

Qiu Ling squatted down and grabbed Jing Yi's shoulders. ”Don't you worry! I'll think of something to keep you safe!”

”Mn! Thank you, grandfather!”

”For now, just make sure, you don't interact too much with her. I'll see to everything else.”

He smiled and pulled Jing Yi in for a hug. A sinister smile graced his lips. Wanting to steal his love and make him marry someone else? Over his dead body! He'd make that mother and daughter pair pay a painful price, if they didn't understand it the soft way.

He stroked Jing Yi's hair again, before finally letting go and giving a wry smile. ”I should go now. But don't worry: If they don't understand, when you evade them, I'll be there immediately! Until then, I'll forge a plan, alright?”

”Mn.” Jing Yi put his arms around Qiu Ling's neck and hugged him back. ”You're the best, grandfather!”

I know, I know, my love! He was so thrilled hearing that from Jing He! He couldn't help burying his fingers in his hair once again. Ah, this might just turn into an addiction …

Meanwhile, the boy made a thoughtful face and finally added: ”After mommy.”
