“Are you feeling shy?” Su Wanwan asked with a smile. “What’s there to feel embarrassed about? It’s a good thing to have men chasing after you. Don’t tell me you’re still pining for my husband? Have you forgotten about the picture I sent last time? Do you want me to send it again to jog your memory?”
“You…”
Fu Qi, unable to contain her anger anymore, turned to Huo Jingshen and cried, “Brother Jingshen! Look at her! She’s crossed the line!”
Unfazed, Huo Jingshen looked up and said, “It was indeed me who asked your sister-in-law to answer the phone.”
Fu Qi: “…”
“Too noisy!”
Fu Qi again: “…”

Soon, dinner started.
Huo Nuanyang had come home to get a document and would have to return to the team right after dinner.
It had been two months since he was last home and the old lady missed him terribly. During dinner, the elderly lady kept constantly serving food to him and Fu Ziyang, while Huo Jingshen was busy serving food to Su Wanwan.
Fu Qi ate her meal silently, keeping her eyes on her plate. Following this, the elderly lady asked, “Miss Fu, why aren’t you eating?”
Startled, Fu Qi quickly replied, “I… I’m on a diet.”
“On a diet?” The elderly lady turned her curious gaze to Fu Qi. “I think you need to gain weight, not lose it.”
Fu Qi: “…”
Then the elderly lady set her eyes on Su Wanwan, “Wanwan is just right… nice.”
Su Wanwan was also speechless: “…”
Grandma, can you be less direct with your views?
So awkward!
The elderly gentleman coughed twice to interrupt, “Always with your chatter!”
The old lady was still chuckling. “Ashen, don’t you think I’m right?”
Huo Jingshen also couched twice, picked up his chopsticks and filled the old lady’s bowl with a heap of spinach. “Grandma, you should eat more spinach.”
And worry less.
The old lady: “…”

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room.
The servants brought in fruits and tea following the meal. As everyone was enjoying their time, a voice was heard from the entrance.
“Old Huo, I’ve brought my great-granddaughter!”
The voice of old Mr. Chu carried a distinct smugness.
After feeling stifled for so many years, he could finally hold his head high.
In the past, whenever anyone mentioned his great-grandson, Chu Dongge, the comments were…
Good-for-nothing!
Spoilt brat!
Playboy!
Hitting on every pretty girl!
Ladykiller!
…and so on.
Now he wanted everyone to know that Ahuang was outstanding and all the seductive vixens in the past were nothing more than distractions!
Actually, Ahuang had already settled the major matter of his life five years ago; he now even had a five-year-old child!
Not only capable!
But also very beautiful!
Old Mr. Huo adjusted his reading glasses, only to be completely stunned at the sight of the beautiful little girl in old Mr. Chu’s hands.
The old lady was equally surprised, “Old Chu, isn’t this… isn’t this Luoluo?”
“Yes, Luoluo is my great-granddaughter! You guys had no idea, right? Hahaha.” Old Mr. Chu laughed heartily, waving his hand, “Ahuang, quickly, introduce her to your grandfather and grandmother.”
Chu Xiuhuang cleared his throat seriously, “Grandpa Huo, Grandma Huo, big brother, sister-in-law, good evening.”
Everyone else: “…”
“As my grandfather said, Luoluo is my biological daughter, Huanhuan is her biological mother, and we became a family six years ago.”
He wasn’t wrong about that!
Following this…
“On April 8th, our Chu family will host a grand banquet at the Huashang Restaurant to legally acknowledge Luoluo as part of the family. From then on, she will be known as Chu Luoluo, though we will still call her Luoluo for short. As for my wedding…” Chu Xiuhuang smirked, “it will take place on May 20th. It’s 520 – meaning, I, love, you.”
Except for Su Wanwan, everyone else couldn’t bear the cheesiness.
Especially the two old folks.
It was an unprecedented shock for them.
Finally, when old Mr. Chu finished showing off and decided to bring Chu Xiuhuang and little Luoluo to Wang, the Commissioner next door, to continue his boastful streak, the old lady slapped Huo Jingshen’s shoulder the moment he stepped away. “Everyone said you’re better than Ahuang! Didn’t expect he is a father of a school-aged child; but where’s yours?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
The others also: “…”
As for Huo Jingshen…
“Grandma, Wanwan is still young, she herself is still a kid.”
Su Wanwan quietly lowered her head.
“The secretary was only twenty-four this year, which means she had a child when she was only nineteen! And now, she’s still a top secretary, a successful woman!”
The more Old Lady Huo said, the more sour she sounded, “This old Chu, wouldn’t he be lifting his tail into the sky now! I bet the whole courtyard knows he has a great-granddaughter tonight!”
Su Wanwan continued to offer silence: “…”
Fortunately, Huo Nuanyang came downstairs from the second floor, holding a folder, “Grandpa, Grandma, Big Brother, I’m going back to Squad X first.”
“Drive carefully on the road.” After Old Lady Huo finished speaking, she turned to Fu Qi, “Miss Fu, would you like Nuanyang to give you a lift?”
Fu Qi quickly shook her head, “No need, I’ll take a taxi later.”
She didn’t like this annoying man.
Pulling off a few leaves from his holly bush was enough to irritate her, so she surely wouldn’t ride in his car.
Plus, his car was a high-clearance off-road vehicle which was inconvenient in her long dress.
“How can we allow our guest to take a taxi? You are a young lady and you look so beautiful. Taking a ride-hailing car is particularly unsafe now. Ashen is staying here with Wanwan, so he can’t send you home. How about this…”
Old Lady Huo ordered, “Let Nuanyang be responsible for sending you. Nuanyang, you must personally watch Miss Fu enter the Imperial Court villa before you can leave, understand?”
Huo Nuanyang didn’t show any unusual emotions and agreed directly, “Okay.”
Fu Qi didn’t want to insist anymore, but…
She picked up her bag and couldn’t help asking Fu Ziyang, “Ziyang, aren’t you going to go back with Auntie?”
Fu Ziyang immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, “No way!”
Fu Qi: “…”
That kid.
After the two of them left, Old Lady Huo glanced at Su Wanwan who was watching TV on the sofa, and Huo Jingshen who was sitting next to her.
“Um, Yunxiu, come upstairs with me and help me tidy up the rooms of Ahshen and Ziyang.”
Huo Jingshen glanced at Old Lady Huo.
Su Wanwan didn’t think much, “No need, Granny, we’ll clean up later.”
“It’s okay, I ate too much for dinner just now. It’s a good opportunity to move around.”

Arriving upstairs, Old Lady Huo directly pulled the maid into Huo Jingshen’s room and closed the door, “Quickly help me find if there are any condoms, or something. If you find any, give them all to me.”
Maid: “…”
Ten minutes later, Old Lady Huo left with two boxes of trophies.
The maid, while changing the bed sheets and quilt cover, couldn’t help complaining in her heart.
This old woman, in order to hug her great-grandson as soon as possible, is really working hard and doing everything she can. She even came up with this plan!
Suddenly, the door was opened again, and the maid’s heart stopped in fright.
All she saw was Old Lady Huo creep in, pull open the wardrobe door, and rummage through Su Wanwan’s sleeping clothes.
“Madam, what are you doing?”
“Oh, the clothes have been sitting too long. I’ll help Wanwan wash them.” After saying this, Old Lady Huo quickly left with the sleepwear.
Maid, once more: “…”
**
An hour later, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen returned to their upstairs bedroom.
Initially, she wanted to find her sleeping clothes to take a bath, but…
“Husband, where did all my sleepwear go?”
Huo Jingshen took a glance, “Then don’t wear them.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
After thinking, she took one of Huo Jingshen’s oversized T-shirts, “I’ll wear yours.”
…
After her bath, Su Wanwan comfortably lay on the bed.
The journalism department is currently preparing for a graduation field trip for the second half of the third year.
According to tradition, they usually choose cities in the south, such as Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi… with beautiful scenery and a comfortable climate.
In the last semester, the teacher had mentioned that the field trip was planned for Sanya, but somehow it had been suddenly changed to a forest scenic spot in the northeast.
Su Wanwan was looking up information related to the scenic spot on Baidu, when suddenly footsteps were heard, followed by a “click”, and the light was turned off.
The entire bedroom plunged into total darkness in an instant.
Soon, the phone she was holding was also taken away.
“Baby, where’s the condom?”
Su Wanwan was startled, “How would I know?”
Huo Jingshen turned on the bedside lamp.
The door of the bedside cabinet next to him was already opened, and what was originally inside was all gone.
He quickly got up, stretched out his long arm, and opened the door of the bedside cabinet on the other side.
Nothing!
Huo Jingshen’s brow furrowed in an instant, and he got up to look for it.
The next second.
“Baby, where’s all the stock I had in the cabinet?”
