“Slept too much yesterday, woke up early and heard you return,” the old master replied. “The housekeeper mentioned you brought Mingbai back. Is he injured?”
“He’s fine, resting in my room,” Xia Xianning answered, worry evident in his tone.
The old master continued, “If not for your senior brother this time, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Ni would have been in danger. You should take good care of him. You’ve been back half a day and haven’t even changed clothes.”
Xia Xianning, slightly distracted, suddenly became alert upon hearing this, looking up at his grandfather. “Grandfather, what are you trying to say?”
Old Master Xia’s fingers gently tapped the table, saying: “At this point, the window paper is useless. Piercing it is just a matter of words.”
Xia Xianning was slightly stunned, and after a moment, suddenly laughed. He shook his head and said: “Grandpa, I just like my senior brother. We are together.”
Even though he had an inkling, Old Master Xia couldn’t help but laugh in anger. “You little brat, you’re quite good at making up stories!”
Xia Xianning said: “I never intended to hide this from you for too long. What I said before was all true except for not mentioning names. Grandpa, this was my initiative, and my senior brother reluctantly agreed.”
Here is the edited article with irrelevant content removed:
Old Master Xia heard these words and couldn’t help but want to glare at him: “Listening to you, is the senior brother more important than me?”
Xia Xianning cleverly countered: “So in Grandpa’s heart, am I more important or is Grandma?”
Old Master Xia was speechless, and after a while, he muttered: “Looking at your third uncle’s behavior, I thought our Xia family couldn’t produce a romantic. You’re something else, evolving on your own.”
Xia Xianning smiled, already knowing he wouldn’t object, so he didn’t say anything more.
It must be said that his previous groundwork was quite effective. Old Master Xia accepted the facts Xia Xianning described very well, and even felt a bit of relief – he had imagined the internet celebrity to be much more terrible.
The only concern was that Luo Yingbai was not an ordinary person. Even if he agreed, the attitude on the other side was still uncertain!
