Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Qian had calculated every possibility, but she never expected Xiao Yan to arrive earlier than her!
Moreover, Xiao Yan’s smile was exceptionally gentle, and there wasn’t a hint of awkwardness on his face. He appeared at the Nangong family’s banquet as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
At this moment, Su Qian suddenly had an urge to walk forward and carefully measure how thick-skinned this man in front of her was.
“When I went to look for you today, you weren’t up yet. I didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so I came to Old Master Nangong’s place to help prepare.” Xiao Yan smiled slightly, saying it as a matter of course.
Xiao Yan didn’t treat himself as an outsider at all. His words were so taken for granted that Su Qian felt the urge to take out a ruler and measure the thickness of this man’s face!
Nangong Lie saw that his granddaughter was staring at Xiao Yan seriously and couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He rubbed his hands and asked, “Qianqian, Ninth Prince specially came to celebrate your birthday. Do you think you…”
Nangong Lie had always been very nervous because he knew very well that his granddaughter had no feelings for the Ninth Prince. So, he was worried that his granddaughter would be unhappy because of this matter.
However, Nangong Lie also thought about it. If his granddaughter really showed strong resistance, he would kick out the Ninth Prince regardless of his identity. He wouldn’t hesitate!
Su Qian was indeed speechless at Xiao Yan’s arrival, but she wouldn’t make things difficult for her grandfather.
After all, Xiao Yan was a prince, with the influence from the Imperial Family that ordinary families couldn’t afford to provoke. Especially the man in front of Su Qian, who seemed to have countless means at his disposal. Even Su Qian didn’t want to confront him head-on. So, she simply looked at him and, after clearing her throat, said, “If Ninth Prince can come to celebrate my birthday, I naturally welcome him.”
When Nangong Lie saw the slight smile on Su Qian’s face as she spoke, his heart which had been hanging in suspense, finally let out a relieved and radiant smile. He said, “That’s good. Come, Qian’er, hurry up and come in. Your grandmother, uncle, and aunt are all waiting for you.”
Su Qian smiled and nodded, then walked forward, smiling as she held Nangong Lie and walked forward. As she walked, she smiled and said, “Come, grandfather, let me help you.”
Nangong Lie was getting old, and Su Qian couldn’t help but support him whenever she was around to prevent him from falling or bumping into things.
Seeing his granddaughter caring for him like this, Nangong Lie’s eyes lit up with happiness, forming crescent moons.
When the two little buns saw this scene, they quickly came to Nangong Lie’s side and imitated Su Qian’s actions, “We also want to help great-grandfather!”
“Good, good! You’re both children.” Nangong Lie laughed so much that his mouth couldn’t close, joyfully entering the mansion.
The Nangong’s Residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The birthday banquet prepared for Su Qian today was held in the garden. At this moment, Nangong Mufeng, Lady Zhou, and Lady Wen were all in the garden. When they saw Su Qian, they all had bright smiles on their faces and immediately walked up to her.
“You old man, why are you occupying Qianqian and the children all this time since they arrived?” Lady Zhou looked at Nangong Lie with jealousy, hurriedly waved to Su Qian, and put on a bright smile, “Qian ‘er, dear, quickly come to Grandmother..”
