At first, Yuchi Jin hadn’t planned on saying it, but he was caught off guard when Yu Bo expressed his thoughts in just that sentence. For a moment, Yuchi Jin felt that he couldn’t hold on to his reputation, so he sternly scolded, “Yu Bo!”
Yet, Yu Bo wasn’t afraid of him at all as he continued smiling. “Old Master has thin skin, so I’ll speak on behalf.”
“Yu Bo! What nonsense are you talking about?” Yuchi Jin was so angry that his old face turned red. He then explained frustratingly, “What are you talking about now? You were the one who told me to come here.”
“Yes. Yes. Yes.” Yu Bo nodded. “It was me who asked Old Master to come over, that’s right.”
Ever since Yuchi Jin woke up this morning, his mind drifted away while he continued to ask Yu Bo whether what had happened last night was real. Why does he always think that it wasn’t real? Yu Bo understood Yuchi Jin’s feelings of shock after discovering suddenly that he had a great-grandson. Yuchi Jin had been alone for a long time, so the feeling of having a family and a great-grandson brought a sense of surprise and happiness to him that no ordinary person could understand.
Although Yu Bo assured Yuchi Jin many times that it was real, Yuchi Jin found it hard to believe it. That was why Yu Bo suggested that Yuchi Jin come here by himself to make sure of it. However, he hadn’t expected to be sold out by Yuchi Jin when they arrived. How can I admit that I wanted to come? Won’t I become a joke to Han Muzi? Besides, if Yuchi Jin accepted her now after all the things that he did to her before, it felt as if he gave himself a slap in the face.
On the other hand, Han Muzi had not minded Yuchi Jin’s attitude. For her, his attitude toward her now was considered quite good. At least it wasn’t the same as the first time when they met. At that time, Yuchi Jin straight away asked Yu Bo to give her a check so that she could leave.
Although Yuchi Jin said that he never wanted to acknowledge her on the surface, Han Muzi felt his feelings and expectation to see Little Bean dancing in his eyes. Thinking about it, her mood improved as she explained with a faint smile, “Then you came at the wrong time. Little Bean and Moxuan went out, so they aren’t at home now.”
Yuchi Jin’s face darkened immediately after he heard her. He came to see Little Bean, but unexpectedly, he wasn’t here. For a moment, Yuchi Jin felt especially disappointed. Yu Bo asked, “What did they go out for?”
Han Muzi realized that they were gone after she woke up, so naturally, she had no idea what they did outside. Therefore, right after Yu Bo asked the question, she then turned her eyes toward Yan, who stood beside her. Following her sight, everyone in the house turned their attention on Yan’s face.
Yan suddenly felt everyone’s hopes on her, which made her a bit nervous. Then, she took a deep breath and explained, “About that… When Young Master Ye was going out, I didn’t dare to ask him why. Anyway, it was inappropriate for me to ask him about it.” After that, Yan’s lips still twitched.
A trace of disappointment flashed through Yuchi Jin and Yu Bo’s eyes. Yuchi Jin grunted coldly the next second, “Since my great-grandson isn’t here, then let’s go back!” As he was done, he turned away and walked outside. Yu Bo only gave Han Muzi a smile as compensation. “I’m sorry, Young Lady Ye. I’ll follow Old Master and leave now.”
Han Muzi smiled as she nodded. “Alright. Stay safe on the road.”
Yuchi Jin, who walked in front, suddenly stopped in his steps after he heard her. Then, he turned his head toward Han Muzi while his blurry eyes were filled with anger. Naturally, Han Muzi felt his expressions, so she curiously looked at him. Did I just say something wrong?
However, Yuchi Jin never gave her answers as he turned away and left angrily. Soon after, the door was closed with a bang.
Han Muzi turned her head toward Yan and bit her lower lip. “Why do I feel that the door was slammed shut with rage?”
Yan remained quiet at first before telling her, “You’re not the only one. From the look that he gave you, it was already terrifying enough.” At this point, Yan couldn’t help but shrink her neck and said to her in a terrified face, “Is it because he’s blaming you for Little Bean not being at home?”
“He wouldn’t…”
However, the old man really had a strong tsundere trait, so Han Muzi lacked the courage to simply say anything that she liked. She was afraid of asking him to stay when he wanted to leave because she was scared of accidentally triggering this grandfather of her, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Outside the door, Yuchi Jin went into the elevator in a bad mood. He was so furious, but Yu Bo remained quiet. A while later, Yuchi Jin finally couldn’t help but call him. Yu Bo seemed as though he just regained his senses when he nodded. “What is it, Old Master?”
His five words almost blew Yuchi Jin’s beard away out of anger. “Weren’t you looking? Even after calling me her ‘grandfather’, she still wouldn’t put in a few good words!”
“About this…” Yu Bo’s face showed his realization. “Old Master, you always seem uncertain in front of Young Lady Ye. If I was her, I definitely wouldn’t dare to simply say anything too.”
Yuchi Jin was rendered speechless.
“What do you think, Old Master?” Yu Bo asked.
Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes and asked with displeasure. “Are you saying that I should treat that girl better?”
Yu Bo rubbed his nose and smiled. “I think you can.” Listening to him, Yuchi Ji raised his brows as though he was about to burst into flames, so Yu Bo quickly added, “Excluding Little Young Master, Young Lady Ye is now pregnant for almost a few months. Old Master, are you sure you’re not going to allow them to be together?”
Yuchi Jin was rendered speechless. The way Yu Bo described it stopped Yuchi Jin from saying anything else. Then, Yu Bo followed up on his words, “Since you don’t oppose it, then you and Young Lady Ye will be a family in the future. If the relationship between family members is bad, then it will affect others too. However, if the family is harmonious, then Young Lady Ye, Young Master Ye and their two kids will be filial toward you together. You will have a big family and every festive holiday, you will have someone to accompany you.”
Yu Bo really knew how to talk because his words seemed as though they came out straight from Yuchi Jin’s heart. Yuchi Jin’s eyes became more complicated as he looked at Yu Bo, but his facial expression hadn’t changed at all. It was unknown as to whether Yuchi Jin had agreed to Yu Bo’s words.
Yu Bo carefully glanced at Yuchi Jin before gritting his teeth and added more oil to the fire. “I’ve heard Miss An saying that Young Lady Ye has showed signs of miscarriage. When our men tied her up the last time, the plan was intercepted by Miss Xue and Han Muzi almost fell down the stairs.”
At this point, Yuchi Jin started to fluster.
That will do, Yu Bo thought to himself. Then, he continued, “I’ve heard that a pregnant woman needs to remain calm so that the baby can grow healthily. Since Young Lady Ye already has signs of miscarriage, Old Master, if you still treat her with a bad attitude, she’ll hide in a corner alone and feel down-hearted. Wouldn’t that be cruel to the child in her belly?”
After he was done with his kind advice, Yuchi Jin couldn’t help but pout. “Alright. Enough. I get it now.” But, if I treat the girl better, isn’t it the same as slapping my face?
