Chapter 419 - Still A Chance (1/2)

Xinyi and Zhiyuan returned to Han villa after spending a lovely birthday night together. The air around them was bubbly and cheerful as they entered hand-in-hand. They were laughing and giggling the whole way.

But inside, they found a gloomy Han Tian at the breakfast table, idling with his plate. He hadn't touched the food at all.

Xinyi whispered, ”What happened to Dad?”

He touched his chin and sighed. ”Is it another argument with Mom?”

”But I thought they had stopped fighting after Uncle Gu was proved innocent.”

They walked up to him, and Xinyi tapped on his shoulder. ”Dad.”

Han Tian broke out of his daze and looked up. His dreary expression brightened. ”Aiya, my daughter-in-law is here! Come, come. This brat Zhiyuan snatched you away from me yesterday. I didn't get any time to spend with you on your birthday at all!”

Zhiyuan chuckled. ”I took her in the evening. You had the whole day with her.”

”Shut up. Don't talk back to me.”

He rolled his eyes.

Xinyi sat on a chair beside him.

”So, so. Tell me,” Han Tian smiled. ”How was the celebration? Did this brat make it worth it?”

Zhiyuan raised his brow. ”Yes, Xinyi. Tell him. Was last night worth it?”

Xinyi blushed hard.

Shameless!

Han Tian immediately understood his nuance and coughed. ”Zhiyuan. I hope you didn't bully her too much.”

Xinyi complained. ”He did. Zhiyuan bullied me a lot!”

When she recalled how he had forced her to admit to her desires, she had an urge to slap him.

Han Tian glared at his son. ”Zhiyuan! What am I hearing? You bullied her on her birthday! You really need some beating!”

Zhiyuan was speechless.

Wifey, how could you sell me out like that?

He smiled. ”I didn't. I just teased her. It doesn't count as bullying. Don't husbands and wife often tease each other for fun?”

Her mouth twitched.

It was clearly bullying! You were the only one who had fun!

Han Tian held her hand. ”Don't worry, Xinyi. I am by your side. You are free to throw him out of your room and let him sleep outside.”

Zhiyuan widened his eyes.

”Dad!”

We just had our lovely reunion last night, and you already want to separate us? How can you be so cruel?

Xinyi laughed. ”That's a good idea, Dad. Then Zhiyuan would never think of bullying me.”

”...”

Han Tian nodded in appreciation.

Zhiyuan slyly smiled. ”Dad, are you sure about this? I mean...if you want to see your granddaughter as soon as possible, then it's important for Xinyi and me to be together more so than ever now.”

Han Tian's ears perked up, and his gaze sparkled. ”Granddaughter?”

”The more often we have our 'private' time together, the sooner you can hear the good news~”
