Chapter 409 - Become a Little Cunning (2/2)

Auntie Wu turned around and sighed. ”Missus, you have to make sure that the old man will take a few bites of the vegetables as well. I don't know how much meat did the old master had eaten knowing that his grandson was not around to scold him.”

Li Qin Yao smiled reassuringly. ”Auntie Wu, don't worry. I will talk to Grandfather and convinced him to eat some vegetables as well.” She peeked at the bowl of stir-fry vegetables and spoke, ”These are the vegetables that he grew in the garden, right?” Li Qin Yao watched as the elder woman nodded. ”Don't worry. I'll ask Li Xue's help to convince grandfather to eat some.”

Hearing her words, Auntie Wu was relieved. ”The old man would listen to the little princess. I think that's a good idea.” A smile tilted up on her lips. ”The old master will be having his routine check-up next week. I'm worried that the result would not be satisfactory.”

After convincing Auntie Wu, Li Qin Yao walked into the dining area and sat down beside her daughter.

”Qin Yao, come. Since Yu Han is not around, you have to eat a lot,” Zhang Jing said. ”You know how it is when my grandson is around. These days would only limit me to eat three bites!” As he recalled the last meal he shared with his grandson, Zhang Jing frowned and shook his head. It was torturous for a meat lover like him.

Li Qin Yao obediently took a few small bites at the dishes and suppressed her urge to vomit once she smelled the spicy mutton. She clipped at the vegetable dishes and put them in her daughter's bowl.

”Li Xue, eat these vegetables as well,” Li Qin Yao reminded her. ”Did you see these cabbage? This is what you and great-grandfather plant in the garden the last time.”

Zhang Li Xue turned to her great-grandfather. ”Really?”

”Un,” Zhang Jing nodded proudly.

”Don't you want to take a bite and try them?” Li Qin Yao said. ”These are the vegetables that you have grow. Don't you want to know how they tasted like?”

Zhang Li Xue stared at the piece of vegetable in her bowl and picked it up slowly. She took a bite and her eyes widened. ”Mommy, it's good.”

”The vegetables that you grow is definitely more delicious, right?”

The little girl nodded. Then, she turned to her great-grandfather and spoke, ”Great-grandfather, you should eat them as well. I grew them. So you definitely have to eat them.”

Zhang Jing watched the little girl helplessly. After a few seconds, he resigned to his fate and ate the vegetable under the two girls' watchful eyes. ”Qin Yao, I think you have become a little cunning after spending a few years with your husband.”

Li Qin Yao laughed at Zhang Jing's words and the three of them continued to have their meal in harmony.

Once they finished their meal, Li Qin Yao accompanied her daughter to watch some cartoons. She had told Zhang Yu Han that she was at Grandfather's place and he had told her to stay there until he came to pick them up.

As Li Qin Yao was explaining a few things to her daughter about the show, her phone on the coffee table rang. A frown appeared on her face when she saw the name on the caller ID.

”Li Qin Yao, where are you right now?” Qi Zheng spoke as soon as the line was connected.

Hearing Qi Zheng's anxious tone, Li Qin Yao began to feel a little bit uneasy. ”I'm at grandfather's place. What's wrong?”

There was a brief silence before Qi Zheng spoke again. ”You have to calm down.”

”Yu Han and Ming Wei were involved in an accident.”
