After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Now it was the old man's turn to laugh. "It's not certain who will cheat whom out of money and sex when the two of you are together."

"I must say, the two of you standing together look like a perfect couple, and the whole private room seems brighter."

"Don't you object, sir?"

"What's there to object to? You have to live your own lives; we parents can't do it for you."

Besides, he's been a man of his own mind since he was young, and no one can dictate his decisions. Once he's made up his mind about you, that's who you are.

Putting everything else aside, my grandson is excellent in both appearance and character.

Grandpa Su said a few nice words to his grandson.

Xia Ran said bluntly, "If he weren't outstanding, I wouldn't even consider him."

"You're really not mincing words at all,"

"That's right. My child's father must be excellent in every way. I have to be very selective."

"You mean my grandson is one in a million?"

Don't you think so, sir?

"Yes, you're absolutely right." Knowing how to appreciate and protect one's own grandson indicates a good relationship.

Grandpa Su was truly relieved and took out a jewelry box that he had prepared beforehand, pushing it over.

"This is a gift for you when we first meet. Every granddaughter-in-law gets one, and this is yours."

Xia Ran accepted it and thanked her.

You should say what you're in, so why not accept it?

If the relationship changes in the future, we can simply return it intact.

"When you have time in the future, please come visit this old man at home more often with Zhe Zhe."

"Okay," Xia Ran readily agreed, since the old man seemed alright—sensible and not pedantic.

The old man then steered the conversation to more serious matters, asking, "How much longer can we stay here?"

"Uncertain. We're waiting for news from above. We might stay for a couple more days, or we might leave immediately and go somewhere else."

The old man thought to himself, "Just as I thought, this person clearly has a hidden identity."

"Yes, just let me know if there's anything we can do for you."

If you're too embarrassed to say it directly, have Zhe Zhe tell me. Our family has built up some influence over the years.

“Okay,” Xia Ran took a box out of her bag and pushed it over, “It’s for you, my dear.”

"What is it?" There's a return gift too?

"Keep this wild ginseng for yourself."

The old man opened it casually. "Wow, I've never seen one this big before. It's not common. How did you get it?"

"I haven't even had a sip of my granddaughter-in-law's tea yet, and I'm already receiving her filial piety. How lucky! Well then, this old man won't be polite!"

He might have declined gifts from others, but the old man readily accepted Xia Ran's gift.

The old man knew that this was a response to his kindness, and he shouldn't refuse.

"If you're determined, you can get your hands on it. Don't be shy, keep it for making soup."

Xia Ran has plenty of these things in her space, but whether or not she takes them out to give away depends entirely on her mood.

The old man had left a good impression on her, so she took it out at the last minute.

When Su Mingzhe brought the dishes to the table, his grandfather was laughing heartily.

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, he felt relieved. As for the questions in his mind, he planned to ask Xia Ran that evening.

We've covered everything we needed to talk about; now it's just a matter of eating.

The food at this restaurant was exceptionally authentic; Xia Ran ate three bowls of rice before she was full.

Seeing that Xia Ran ate without any hesitation, Grandpa Su liked Xia Ran's personality and style even more; she was genuine and carefree.

Perhaps older people prefer children who are capable and hardworking.

After leaving the place, Xia Ran asked Su Mingzhe to accompany the old man back, while she would take a taxi home by herself.

The old man refused, saying, "I have guards; I can go back by myself."

"You young people should go do what you need to do; you don't need to revolve around this old man."

After saying that, to prove he was telling the truth, he got into his car and left.

I thought to myself, this girl is the ceiling my grandson can reach, what am I waiting for if I don't hold on tight?

Although he didn't have the habit of selling out Sun Qiurong, the pie had already fallen into his lap, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.

Su Mingzhe, who hadn't had a chance to express any opinion, watched as his grandfather, who hadn't asked for his opinion at all, got into a car and disappeared from sight.

He looked at Xia Ran again and felt that his grandfather had been acting strangely after seeing Xia Ran.

Well, he was very polite and respectful towards Xia Ran, which was quite strange.

Xia Ran chuckled at the amusing old man. Was he trying to get her grandson to come with her?

He said with a smile, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

"it is good."

-

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Su Mingzhe asked the question that had been on his mind.

Xia Ran sighed, it was time to explain: "I saw the old man yesterday morning, on the observation deck."

Now it was Su Mingzhe's turn to break down, feeling like he'd been tricked. "You were at the military parade? And watching from the observation deck?"

"Correct."

"Then why did you lie to me?"

"Don't get excited, I didn't mean to lie to you. I just didn't know where to start, so I didn't say anything to save trouble."

Su Mingzhe was furious, and felt an indescribable discomfort.

"You're making things too easy for me, making me feel like an idiot explaining what happened on site."

As she spoke, she got so angry that her face turned bright red, and she almost cried.

Seeing this, Xia Ran grabbed the dog's head, stood on tiptoe, and kissed her silly dog's lips, saying:

"I love it when you explain things to me. Isn't that a testament to our love?"

Do you know how I met the old man? I'm replying to your text message with my head down.

The old man patted my shoulder and said, "Look ahead, there's no military parade on your phone."

I verbally agreed, but inwardly I was thinking, "How did you know I didn't have the military parade footage on my phone?"

There was a military parade, but it was a parade just for me. How can that be the same?

From then on, I could only text you secretly.

Xia Ran's explanation pleased Su Mingzhe a little, but he was still somewhat angry.

"I've discovered it. You've never treated me like a grown man. You've been hiding everything from me!"

Xia Ran got angry too, and bit the corner of his mouth directly. "How childish are you? You're talking nonsense. If I didn't treat you like a grown man, would I sleep with you?"

Whom do you look down on? Do you look down on yourself, or on me?

"You're not a grown man, how could you get me pregnant? Stop saying such stupid things."

Su Mingzhe was still furious when the word "pregnant" reached his ears, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You're pregnant?"

Su Mingzhe suddenly propped his head up and walked around on the ground happily, as if he wanted to run out and shout a few times.

"It's highly likely. Before I came to the capital, I had a traditional Chinese medicine doctor take my pulse. He said it looked like a slippery pulse, but the time was too short to be completely certain."

They told me to come back in two weeks, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen. I've been feeling particularly sleepy lately.

She's probably pregnant. He's a very famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor; it's highly likely she's right.

I calculated the timeline, and it seems she conceived around the time of our first time together.
