Is that guy named Mo Qishen even better than him?
If that’s really the case, then he’s quite interested in meeting him.
The two were heading this way when they just happened to run into Grandpa Du and Zhao Yu returning with train tickets.
Grandpa Du glanced over here, his expression unchanged.
Zhao Yu asked curiously, "What does that Uncle Li want with my mom? Is he trying to steal her from my dad?"
Grandpa Du looked down at Zhao Yu, "Do you wish someone would try to take your mom from your dad?"
Zhao Yu said with a smile, "Don’t worry! No one can take my mom away, my dad has already planned how many kids they will have after getting married! Plus, my mom likes dad a lot, too! My dad is so handsome, do you think that Li Dai is even half as handsome as my dad? Even my dad crouching down is taller than him! Such a shorty, dreaming of stealing my mom from my dad? Dream on!"
Grandpa Du chuckled lightly.
Zhao Yu continued, "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"
"Indeed, Li Dai is no match for your mom, but he isn’t as bad as you say."
Zhao Yu stroked his chin, looking at Grandpa Du, "Actually, I think you and my mom look quite well-matched standing together. Too bad my mom already has my dad, and you already have two aunties."
In fact, Zhao Yu had been observing for a long time and truly felt that Ni Yang and Grandpa Du made a very good match.
The two of them, one fond of traditional long gowns and robes, the other fond of cheongsams.
Two people with similar interests would also have a lot to talk about.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Grandpa Du’s lips instantly faded, and his voice turned cold, "Don’t speak such nonsense ever again."
Zhao Yu shuddered for no reason, "Oh, okay."
Grandpa Du usually had a demeanor smooth as a spring breeze, so it was quite scary to suddenly see him with a stern face.
"By the way, this is for you." Grandpa Du pulled out a silk pouch from his waist.
"Candy!" Zhao Yu’s eyes lit up, immediately forgetting the fear from moments ago.
Grandpa Du returned to his spring-breezy manner and continued, "Eat it sparingly, too much candy is bad for the teeth."
Zhao Yu nodded, "I know. By the way, are you really not going to Beijing anymore?"
"Mhm."
"Why?" Zhao Yu asked.
"I’m old," Grandpa Du sighed deeply, "I can’t keep up with the hassles anymore."
If it had been ten years ago, he would have fought recklessly for one last chance for himself.
But now is not ten years ago.
And he is no longer that person.
Zhao Yu frowned, "But Sister Jiaojiao said that you are only thirty-five this year."
Grandpa Du remained silent.
The two of them arrived back at the spot, just as Ni Yang and Li Dai did as well.
Du Jiaojiao’s gaze moved back and forth between Li Dai and Ni Yang.
Ni Yang appeared indifferent, as if nothing had happened at all.
But Li Dai’s forehead was dotted with fine sweat.
Something must have happened between the two of them.
Grandpa Du handed the train tickets to Ni Yang, "The train leaves at 9:30 am, they’ll be checking tickets soon."
Ni Yang took the tickets, "Then we’ll go in first, Brother Du you guys head back."
"Mhm."
Ni Yang continued, "Sister Jiaojiao, Sister Yaoyao, come visit Beijing when you have time, and that goes for Brother Du as well."
Grandpa Du nodded slightly.
Zhao Yu also waved goodbye to them. She really liked Shanghai and was very reluctant to leave Grandpa Du. As she walked toward the ticket barrier, she kept looking back.
After the two disappeared into the checkpoint, Grandpa Du and the others began their walk back as well.
Li Dai, Li Yao, and Du Jiaojiao were heading in different directions, so after leaving the train station, they went their separate ways.
On the train, Li Yao asked Li Dai, "Brother, what did you say to the great beauty just now?"
Li Dai countered, "Why didn’t you tell me Ni Yang already had a boyfriend?"
Li Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Bro! You didn’t confess to the great beauty, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hengyang at the driver’s seat even turned back to glance at Li Dai.
He thought, this uncle of his really is something.
He’s only met Ni Yang a few times, right?
And he confessed his feelings already?
Quite advanced in thinking, coming from abroad.
Li Dai didn’t speak, which meant tacit agreement.
Li Yao apologetically said, "I’m so sorry, brother! It’s my fault! I didn’t give you the full picture! So what happened just now? Did the great beauty reject you?"
"What do you think?" Li Dai asked back.
Li Yao kept apologizing.
Li Dai then asked, "By the way, do you know Ni Yang’s boyfriend?"
"I don’t know him," Li Yao replied, "but I know a little bit. The great beauty’s boyfriend is named Mo Qishen, styled Pei Zhi, and he is Grandpa Du’s good brother."
Li Dai frowned slightly, "What era are we in that people still have styled names?" And also a good brother of Grandpa Du, this Mo Qishen must be no good thing either.
