Chapter 426 - A cacophony (1/2)

The four esteemed guests of the restaurant continued to eat. When the pot of tea was emptied, Shenlong Yuan asked one of the waiters to refill it with hot water.

The waiter went out and a few minutes later, he came back in with a full pot. He poured the tea into Old Master Shenlong's empty cup, then Xiao Yi's cup. When he was moving to the two cousins, he accidentally tripped over his own foot.

"Careful!" Xiao Yi yelled out when she saw the pot of hot tea flying towards Callum.

A splash could be heard, but it was not Callum's voice.

KARPLANG!

The sound of the pot falling onto the ground could be heard.

Callum, who had quickly moved out of the way of the pot, looked up and saw one of the waiters with a partly wet shirt.

He recognized the body shape but he told himself that it was impossible. His "wife" was too indifferent to do anything like this.

Yet when the waiter took off his mask, Callum gasped loudly.

"Guang Ying!" Callum cursed and he immediately pulled Ghost aside to check on his "burns". The idea that his "wife" might be hurt scared him and he wanted to make sure that he was absolutely fine.

Callum was patting Ghost all over, including over his chest and down south. Annoyed, the latter snapped, "Shenlong Xun!"

"What? Oh my god! That was hot water that splashed on you! Why are you so chill? Are you hurt?! Take off your shirt now! Let me see!" said Callum with a worried tone.

He tried to unbutton Ghost's shirt but the latter slapped his hand away and hissed, "Idiot! It's not even warm water!"

Callum froze. He looked up at Ghost with a confused face. However, Ghost merely looked at him with an expression that said, "Am I seriously in a relationship with this low IQ idiot?"

"He doesn't look like he's in pain..." thought Callum. Calmer now, he patted the wet spot on Ghost's shirt. It was at room temperature.

"Huh?" Callum glanced at his grandfather who had an equally confused look. Then he glanced at Xiao Yi and Shenlong Yuan. When he saw how hard Shenlong Yuan was trying to hide his grin, he figured everything out.

"You!" snapped Callum as he pointed at Shenlong Yuan angrily.

"What the hell is this? Why are you touching a man so inappropriately? In front of my granddaughter-in-law some more?! You didn't even ask about your pregnant girlfriend!" said Old Master Shenlong as he glared at his youngest grandson.

Then he turned to the waiter who tripped and snapped, "How can you be that careless? What if you hurt my future great-grandson?!"

"I-I'm sorry…" muttered the waiter who then looked at Shenlong Yuan helplessly. When he went out to refill the pot, he was suddenly pulled aside by one of the managers who told him to do this and that. According to the manager, it was "Young Master Yuan's instruction".

"Ye Ye, don't blame the waiter. It's my fault…" Shenlong Yuan admitted quickly, just in case his grandfather decided to blow this out of proportion.

Old Master Shenlong glared at him, "What are you trying to do now?"

"Fixing my mistake…" murmured Shenlong Yuan. He then glanced at Ghost and Callum before signaling Callum to tell the truth.

Callum glanced at Ghost for a second before turning back to his grandfather. With a helpless sigh, he said, "Old man, meet Luo Guang Ying."

"Who the hell is he?"

"Your future granddaughter-in-law," said Shenlong Yuan before he burst out in laughter.

Xiao Yi, who had finally understood the whole story, could not stop herself from smiling as well. She thought to herself as she watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson, "So, this is why he needs my help..."

Old Master Shenlong looked at both his grandsons with a confused expression before he turned to glare at Callum, "What the f*ck is this?!"

Callum remained calm as he thought about a way to make this easier for his grandfather. To his surprise, Ghost suddenly grabbed his shirt and kissed him right on the lips.

Callum was so shocked by it that he did not even close his eyes for the entire duration of the kiss. He could hear the gasps and a woman's soft chuckle, but his body was somewhat numb. His hands moved on their own and landed on Ghost's waist.

After Ghost released him, Callum stood there, speechless.

Ghost then turned to Old Master Shenlong and said, "I'm Luo Guang Ying. Shenlong Xun is my man."

"What?" gasped Old Master Shenlong. His face soon turned red with anger and embarrassment.

"Shenlong Xun is my man. I'm not a woman, and I'm definitely not pregnant," said Ghost. He nodded at Xiao Yi before turning back to Old Master Shenlong.

With a calm and clear voice, he said, "Your grandson and I are in a relationship, and I don't want to hide it anymore."

Old Master Shenlong slammed his hands down on the table. Shenlong Yuan immediately moved closer to Xiao Yi to protect her in case his grandfather flew into a rage. He tried to tell her to leave first but she was adamant to stay and watch the show unfold.
