Chapter 987: Engaged Couple

When Ling Sheng suddenly heard ‘Mr. and Mrs. Huo’, she didn’t realize who he was talking about at first.

Seeing her confused look, Jun Shiyan reached out to scratch the tip of her nose and said, “Your grandparents.”

When Ling Sheng heard this, she was like a frightened little rabbit. She hurriedly pushed him away and jumped far away. She patted her heart nervously. “What are they here for? Didn’t I tell my dad everything?”

“They’re worried about you!” Jun Shiyan’s smile became increasingly gentle. He had chosen the right grandparents indeed. But he was really dissatisfied with the father!

But there was no way to enjoy the best of both worlds. He had searched through the entire China, but he was the only one who was slightly better. In the end, he had no choice but to choose him. Forget it. Since he had already chosen, he could only walk down the same path until he reached the end.

When Su Xiyin and Huo Xiao were invited in, they saw Ling Sheng waiting for them at the entrance before they even arrived!

Su Xiyin took a few quick steps forward and held her hand. “It’s so windy, and it’s even snowing now! Are you waiting at the door to ‘feed’ on the northwestern wind[1]!”

Ling Sheng smiled and shook her head. “Grandma, why are you and Grandpa here?”

When Su Xiyin heard her call her ‘Grandma’, and that she didn’t become aloof with them, her heart, which had been hanging in the air along the way here, finally settled. She felt a little flustered and gave her a look before saying softly, “How can Grandpa and Grandma feel assured when you left with someone for no clear reason?”

Ling Sheng said, “Grandma, it’s all right. Third Master isn’t a bad person. He’s my…”

“Who’s he to you? Your husband?” Su Xiyin pulled on Ling Sheng and refused to let her in. When she saw Jun Shiyan and Huo Xiao enter the living room, she then sighed and reprimanded her. “Child, how old are you? What’s wrong with you? Look at you!”

“Grandma, he’s really my fiancé.” Ling Sheng changed how she phrased her words. “We’re engaged.”

“Then, why didn’t you say anything when I asked you two days ago?!” Su Xiyin was a little angry at her, but she still couldn’t help feeling worried and distressed for her. “I asked you, but you still said that you don’t have a family.”

“I’ve always lived overseas. I just came back but got into a fight with him. In a fit of anger, I left. Who knew that I would get lost? I couldn’t find my way home, nor could I find him. When I saw my dad… no, when I saw Sixth Young Master, he looked exactly the same as my dad when he was young. I couldn’t help it.” As Ling Sheng thought of the unfamiliar environment when she had just arrived and how there was no one she knew, she couldn’t help feeling sad, and her big eyes were full of tears. “I miss my dad.”

Seeing her in this state, Su Xiyin couldn’t bear to berate her anymore. She hugged her and pulled her into the living room while warming up her hands. “Then, just tell Grandpa and Grandma!”

“I’m afraid that after I tell you, you’ll chase me away. That you won’t want me anymore.” Ling Sheng’s tears fell as she looked at her grandmother. “I heard that Third Master is very unpopular in the capital. Everyone hates him, so they’ll definitely hate me!”

Jun Shiyan was talking to Huo Xiao when he happened to hear this. He saw that the young lady’s eyes were red, and she was lying with a straight face. Great. Now, he has even become a huge villain whom everyone fears. He passed a cup of tea to Huo Xiao. “I’m really sorry. I originally thought of bringing her to the Huo residence to visit you two elders tomorrow to express my gratitude. And to thank you for taking care of her.”

Huo Xiao’s face was covered with a scowl. “Are the both of you really engaged?”

Jun Shiyan made a sound of acknowledgment. “My family and hers are long-time friends. Her family passed away early, and her grandfather and mine are sworn brothers. Before he passed, he entrusted her to me and arranged a marriage between us. We’ll get married when she becomes an adult.”

“Third Jun, don’t blame me for being nosy. After all, you’re making verbal statements without any proof.” Huo Xiao knew that he shouldn’t meddle in other people’s family matters, but he just couldn’t help it!

“I know what you’re worried about.” Jun Shiyan called out to An Yan and gave him instructions softly.

Soon, An Yan brought the documents, and even photos, that had been prepared long ago and handed them to Huo Xiao respectfully. “Mr. Huo.”

Huo Xiao flipped through the album. They were photos of Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan growing up. After closing the album, he sighed inwardly. This grandfather is also old and muddled. How can he hand a little girl to a man?!

Su Xiyin had also brought Ling Sheng over. After seeing the photos, she couldn’t say anything. She had come because she was worried. Since he had taken out the evidence, she was his fiancée. What else could they do?

Ling Sheng took a look at the photos and was full of admiration. Heh, how impressive. At this time, Photoshop technology was already so impressive. There was no trace of falsification at all.

People nowadays still didn’t have any concept of things like Photoshop, so they would be even less doubtful of the authenticity.

“Third Jun, we’re sorry. We just missed her. We still have her clothes at home, so we came to bring her some clothes.” Su Xiyin was already embarrassed.

Look at all this fuss they’d kicked up! The little girl is from the Jun family to begin with. What was with them running over here to suspect others?

“I’m very grateful that Mr. and Mrs. Huo took her in and took care of her.” Jun Shiyan thanked them again. “I’ll definitely bring her to visit you another day.”

Huo Xiao was full of pent-up anger. He was angry with himself for being so impatient and even came knocking on their door to find her. He couldn’t say anything else either, so he turned his head to ask Ling Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, come to our house to stay for a few days someday. Grandpa and Grandma are leaving.”

When Ling Sheng saw that her grandfather’s eyes were slightly red, she felt depressed and nodded. “Grandpa, Grandma, don’t worry. If he bullies me, I’ll go find you. Both of you can’t turn me away then.”

“We want you. We’ll definitely want you.” Huo Xiao’s heart was so empty that he couldn’t help but want to tear up. He coaxed, “If he dares to treat you badly, look for Grandpa. Grandpa will stand up for you!”

On the first day of her arrival, Ling Sheng had already sensed that her grandparents still liked her and felt sorry for her. She was the one who had made the elderly sad. She nodded and tried her best to control her tears from falling. “Grandpa, you have to keep your word.”

“Yes, I will. Grandpa never goes back on his word.” Then, Huo Xiao looked at Jun Shiyan. “Although Sheng Sheng is your fiancée, this child and we were fated to meet. If you dare to treat her badly in the future, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Jun Shiyan nodded slightly. “I will bear Mr. Huo’s advice in mind.”

Su Xiyin couldn’t bear to part with her, but she was afraid that the little girl would be sad too if she saw her cry. She hurriedly got up and left. “In that case, we’ll be leaving. It’s quite cold outside. Do whatever you guys have to. There’s no need to send us off.”

Even after Ling Sheng watched the two elders leave, she still stood at the entrance of the living room. Her grandma refused to let her go out no matter what. She said that it was cold and didn’t want her to freeze. Her eyes reddened.

Jun Shiyan patted the young lady’s head gently to reassure her. “They’ve already left. Don’t look anymore. If you really miss Grandpa and Grandma, just go back and take a look.”

Ling Sheng sniffled and her voice sounded hoarse. “Then, can I stay there for two days?”
