C66 (1/2)
If it wasn't for the fact that she had beautifully completed all sorts of difficult tasks in these past few years, she believed that she would have been swept out of her room by Tao Weiguang a long time ago.
Tao Weiguang nodded and pushed out of the fitting room.
”Yao Yao, you …” After hearing Tao Weiguang's words just now, Tao Ran started to feel a sense of longing.
”Big brother, don't worry. I think grandpa wants to tell me a few words. After all, I want to marry into the Tao family.” Tao Tian tried to comfort his brother. What could he do? He had already allowed them to marry, so what else could he do?
”Qing Qing, let's go upstairs to change.” Tao Yao pulled Qing Qing away from the changing room, leaving behind Tao Ran, who seemed to be deep in thought.
”Miss, why would the master be looking for you?” Even Qing Qing felt that this wasn't simple.
”You, did you get infected by my brother?” Tao Tian said in a relaxed manner, ”Granddaughter wants to marry. Grandfather wants to chat with his granddaughter alone, what's so strange about that?”
”But …” Qing Qing and Tao Yao were like sisters, so she naturally knew about Tao Tian's experiences since he was young.
”Aiya, don't but, it's okay, you're still so young, why are you so slow?” Tao Tian laughed and covered his ears, pretending not to listen.
”Oh, miss!” Qing Qing looked at Tao Tian, her eyes filled with pity. She naturally knew of her suffering. Now that her suffering had come to an end, she was happy for her.
”Alright, stop being so long-winded. I'm done changing. Help me hang up the wedding dress. Protect it well, I'm going to look for grandpa.” Today, Tao Tian only wanted to enjoy his last day of single life. He wanted to enter the marriage full of expectations, but he didn't want to remember the hardships. The past, the misery or joy, were all past events. Thinking about them was useless.
Wearing a close-fitting pink housedress, Tao Tian walked along the corridor all the way to his grandfather's study at the very end.
In reality, although she pretended to be relaxed towards her brother and Qing Qing, her heart was still uneasy. Her grandfather was definitely not an ordinary grandfather. He had never expressed any feelings of love towards her, and their relationship wasn't like any normal grandfather or grandson.
Her grandfather would just make her complete more difficult tasks without a care for anything else, but he had never cared about her safety. Just killing his granddaughter in battle was not the emotion a normal grandfather should have.
He was about to leave soon, but his grandfather suddenly turned friendly.
Tao Tian was lost in his thoughts as he walked.
”Duk Duk Duk …”
Tao Yao stood at the door of the study room and nervously knocked on the door.
”Yao Yao, quickly come in.” Tao Weiguang's voice was deep and powerful.
”Grandfather, I'm here, you're looking for me …” Tao Tian pushed open the door and entered. He stood at the side of Tao Weiguang's desk.
Tao Weiguang's desk was carved from an entire root of a tree. It was designed and sculpted into an art piece. Under the dim light of the lamp, it looked like an eagle with its wings spread out, ready to fly.
”Yao Yao, don't just stand there. Quickly, sit down.” Tao Weiguang indicated to the nearby sofa with his mouth, indicating for Tao Tian to sit down and talk. This sofa was normally used for receiving guests, so it was very comfortable to be involved with it.
”Oh, okay.” Tao Tian obeyed and sat down. Out of reverence, she was always cautious and timid in front of Tao Weiguang.
”Oh my god, how are you preparing for the wedding?” Tao Weiguang did not look at Tao Tian, but lowered his head to study the document in his hands.
”It's about time. During this month, Zichen, I, as well as my brother have helped, we've almost finished preparing.” Tao Tian put both his hands on his legs and lowered his head to answer the question.
”Oh, that's great. Your wedding dress looks really good.” Tao Weiguang continued with his small talk, his eyes never leaving the information in his hands.
”Yes, I've already chosen that. It's the new version of the verawang from this year.” Tao Tian was just a mechanical answer.
”Yes, tomorrow, the granddaughter of I, Tao Weiguang, will be the prettiest bride in the entire Yan City.” Tao Weiguang said this with a smile on his face.
”Grandfather, you must be joking.” Tao Tian somewhat embarrassedly lowered his head. In the past, his grandfather would only say that with a face like yours, it was as easy as flipping his palm when he tricked those men into bed before killing them. Tao Tian had never thought that these were just words to praise him.
”Hehe, sorry about that. My granddaughter is indeed beautiful.” Tao Weiguang's gaze peeked out from the reading glasses, smiling at Tao Tian.
”Grandfather, did you call me here for something?” All these years, as long as she was summoned into the study by her grandfather, she would have to complete a new mission. Therefore, this time, Tao Tian doubted her grandfather's summons, but he did not point it out. She could only do it because she did not want her brother to worry with her.
”Grandfather, can you be chatting with your granddaughter who's about to get married? What's the matter?” Tao Weiguang answered with a smile.
