The atmosphere in the living room instantly became relaxed and lively because of Lu Zhenbang's straightforward and gossipy questioning.

Lou Wanning leaned back on the sofa with a smile and joked:

"Dad, you just walked in and haven't even caught your breath yet, and you're already eager to gossip about the kids. Aren't you afraid of scaring Luo Luo? It's her first time visiting our home, don't let your eagerness make her laugh."

"What are you scared of?" Lu Zhenbang waved his hand, his tone full of confidence, his eyes still glued to Li Luo, unwilling to look away, and he eagerly pressed on, his tone even more gossipy:

"Our granddaughter-in-law is so capable, how could she be scared by Grandpa's little gossip? Tell me quickly, Grandpa is so curious! My grandson is impulsive and speaks very bluntly, does he often make you angry? If he dares to act childishly towards you or make you feel wronged, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will teach him a lesson for you, give you all the crystal cores he has saved, and punish him by making him guard the outer perimeter of the base for a week, let's see if he dares to do it again!"

Seeing this, Lu Jingcheng quickly came over, grabbed Li Luo's hand with a pitiful expression, and explained to Lu Zhenbang:

"Grandpa, how could you say that to me? How could I make Luo Luo angry? I love her so much! I've never let her suffer even the slightest grievance!"

"Get out of the way, little grandson, don't interrupt. Grandpa is asking about my granddaughter-in-law, not you!" Lu Zhenbang glanced sideways, pretending to put on a stern face, but his tone was full of doting teasing. He even lightly patted Lu Jingcheng on the back of the head. "Stop bragging here. Grandpa knows you too well. You used to make girls cry when you were little. Now you've finally grown up a bit. Don't bully my granddaughter-in-law again, or Grandpa won't forgive you!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Luo, his tone softening instantly, filled with heartache and concern, even his eyes becoming much gentler:

“Granddaughter-in-law, don’t listen to his nonsense. If he really dares to upset you, no matter how big the matter is, just tell Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely stand by your side and support you. He will not take any side for him. Even if he is right, Grandpa will help you scold him!”

As Li Luo watched this scene unfold, a warmth spread through her heart, and a faint yet genuine smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She originally thought that even if the old commander loved the younger generation, he would still have a certain innate sense of distance and would put on airs as an elder. But she never expected that he would be such a lively and lovable old man.

Outside, he is a majestic and awe-inspiring pillar of strength, whose word carries weight and commands respect from all sides;

At home, however, he is a grandfather who dotes on his younger generation, loves gossip, and is protective of his own. He always talks about his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and his heart and eyes are full of love for her. There is no ulterior motive or scrutiny, only pure joy and concern.

This stark contrast was both funny and heartwarming, prompting her to silently reflect in her heart:

So this is the grandfather that Acheng was talking about. He seems stern and tough, but he is actually soft-hearted and cute. It is hard to feel any awe towards such an old man. All that is left is affection and goodwill.

It was this unreserved love and straightforward closeness that made her feel the warmth of the Lu family more deeply, and her sense of belonging to "home" grew stronger. What was originally a sense of belonging that came from A-Cheng became more real and firm because of this old rascal grandfather.
