Chapter 244 - Old Man Xian’s Punishment I (2/2)

”You're pregnant so quickly, spoiled girl!” Old Man Xian muttered as he walked inside the study. ”How should I explain it to the late Old Cui!”

Jiang Ruolan was a little embarrassed. The old man went around the desk and said, ”Close the door.”

Jiang Ruolan hurriedly closed the door to the study, but she was a little perturbed. She didn't know what kind of thoughts the Old Man had in his mind. Would he use one of the top ten torture methods on her?”

”Spoiled girl, you! Come here.”

”Oh.” Jiang Ruolan quickly walked over and stood in the middle of the study. She looked around and saw two bookshelves filled with books and two old weapons but apparently functioning hanging on the wall.

Xian Zihao had just said that the Old Man was actually feeling awkward, so right now, she's trying to figure out how she should persuade and steal his heart.

Her eyes landed on a box of tea on the desk.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly recalled the Old Man liked to drink tea, so she quickly walked to a thermos on the table nearby. She carefully poured a cup of tea and walked over to the Old Man, ”Grandpa, do you want to drink tea?”

”What are you doing? I haven't slept for two days, and you still want me to drink tea?” The Old Man roared with vigor.

”Ugh… I… I'm sorry. I thought you were thirsty.” Jiang Ruolan innocently opened her eyes wide and carefully put down the teacup.

”Don't stand on my side. Go stand over there!” The Old Man suddenly frowned and pointed to the bookshelf behind her.

Jiang Ruolan was confused and didn't understand what the Old Man was trying to do, but she still took two steps back and stood in front of the bookshelf.

The Old Man just sat at his chair and glanced at the cup. He didn't drink it, but he didn't throw it away either.

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. ”Grandpa... Do you want to talk to me about something?”

”What can I talk to you about?” The Old Man glanced at her and continued to sing in that melodious melody, shaking his head as he hummed, ”In that dream of spring, there were flowers everywhere. Today, the roof is green and the trees are green. Why is there no news of your departure? The beginnings of the flower have been waiting until now.”

Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to take a step forward, the Old Man suddenly pulled out a ruler from nowhere and slapped it on his hand. He did not even look at her, ”Don't move, stand there with your chest puffed out!”

”Standing up just like a soldier?” Jiang Ruolan froze.

”Don't think that this Old Man can't do anything to you just because you have Zihao protecting you.” The Old Man crossed his legs and continued to shake his head. The ruler in his hand also lightly tapped back and forth.

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched again as she stood rooted to the spot.

After a while, the Old Man picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, smacked his lips, and then put it down again, ”Hmm, your skill on brewing tea is not bad. You know how much water is needed to fill the cup.” After saying that, he turned and glanced at her. ”Spoiled girl, can you make Tieguanyin tea?”

Jiang Ruolan immediately answered honestly, ”No.” Then she added, ”If grandpa likes it, I can learn it. Hehe!”

The Old Man glanced at her and gave a cold snort. ”You're quite quick-witted, but this Old Man likes silly girls. I don't like monkeys!”

Jiang Ruolan immediately stopped smiling and pursed her lips. It was obvious that the Old Man wasn't fair. His doting on Cui Luixian made him completely blind. If not, how can the double-faced Cui Luixian deceive him? Everyone else was a monkey to him.

”What is it? You're cursing me in your heart, aren't you?”

Jiang Ruolan: ”....”
