When Luo Cheng heard this, he was very gratified. He held Li Xiaoran’s hand without saying anything else. Instead, he felt relaxed after opening up his heart.
“Looks like I came at the wrong time!” a voice said. Li Xiaoran stood up and turned in the direction of the voice.
“Old Madam Jin, why are you here?”
Luo Cheng also stood up and bowed to Elder Jin.
“What? Can’t I come?” Old Madam Jin smiled and nodded. Then, she replied, “I remember you saying that you will treat me to something as delicious as stinky tofu after the new year! ”
When Li Xiaoran heard that Old Madam Jin hadn’t forgotten about the promise, she immediately smiled.
“I’ve been waiting for you to come and find me. I’ve even tidied up my room while waiting for you to come and stay, but I haven’t heard anything from you!”
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she sighed.
“Something happened, so I went back to White Foothill City. But now, everything has been resolved! My house has been built, and I moved in today. There are servants tidying up the home, so I came out to take a breather and walked all the way here. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came here, I saw the two of you sitting here!”
“Now that I’m alone and divorced, are you still willing to acknowledge me as your grandmother?” Old Madam Jin thought of something and said.
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she immediately understood something.
“Grandmother, no matter what you’ve become, you’re still my grandmother!” Li Xiaoran said solemnly.
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her face was filled with relief.
“Great! Come see the house with me! In the future, I’ll reserve a room for you and your sister. You can have stayovers in the future. By the way, I think your sister, Xiao Qing, is also obedient and sensible. I like her very much. Why don’t you two sisters both be my granddaughters?!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
“Grandmother, you shouldn’t ask me that. You should ask my sister, Xiao Qing! As long as my sister is willing to, I’m willing to as well!” When Old Madam Jin heard this, she smiled.
“You’re so smart!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran and Old Madam Jin were chatting happily, Luo Cheng simply said, “Old Madam Jin, I still have some things to deal with! I’ll leave Xiaoran to you. Please entrust someone to send her back to the shop safely afterwards!”
Old Madam Jin nodded. Then, she thought of something and looked at Luo Cheng solemnly. “I don’t think I can hide the Jin family’s matter from you! In the future, if the Jin family offends you in any way, you can punish them however you see fit! Just don’t kill them!”
Luo Cheng understood what Old Madam Jin meant and nodded. “Don’t worry, Old Madam Jin. I will!”
With that, Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran.
“I’ll return to the shop and take those two people away now. I’ll tell our parents where you went. Come back early. Don’t let them worry!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and reminded him to be careful as well.
“I understand! Husband, try to come back early!”
Luo Cheng nodded and turned to leave.
“This kid is still reserved, but he looks more energetic. It seems that you guys have been doing well recently!” Old Madam Jin marveled as she watched Luo Cheng leave.
“Grandmother, you even noticed this? You’re really amazing!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
“Of course. Who am I?! At this age, I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice! In the past, this kid looked so aloof and detached. Now, he’s getting more and more high-spirited! Young people should be like this! He used to be so apathetic!” Old Madam Jin said.
“Yes, yes, yes. Grandma, you’re right! After I go back, I’ll tell my husband that he must live like a young man and be full of vigor!” Li Xiaoran agreed with a smile.
As soon as she said this, Old Madam Jin also laughed.
“You’re such a sly sweet talker! Hurry up and send me the food you promised me! If you don’t bring it to me, I’ll make things difficult for you next time!”
“Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll definitely satisfy you! However, I have to go back and see if what I made is ready. As long as that thing is ready, I can immediately make smelly food for you to try!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Alright, go back and see if it’s ready! You have to give me an answer tomorrow!” Old Madam Jin said.
“Alright, I’ll go back and take a look tonight. As long as it’s ready, I’ll come to find you tomorrow and make you a bowl of delicious yet smelly food!” Li Xiaoran replied.
With the guarantee, Elder Jin nodded in satisfaction and led Li Xiaoran to see her new house.
“By the way, you’re getting married in March, right?! I have to tidy up the house quickly, so when the time comes, I can let you get married from here!” Old Madam Jin thought of something and said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she remembered her family’s matter and said apologetically, “Old Madam Jin, my parents plan to move out. They’ve chosen a piece of land not far from the Luo family’s home and are repairing the house. The house should be ready in a month. At that time, I’ll get married in the new house!”
“Did something happen? Why are your parents moving out?” When Old Madam Jin heard this, she asked anxiously, “Could it be that Luo Cheng bullied your parents?”
“It’s not like that. Please listen to me explain! ” Li Xiaoran explained her parents’ intentions.
After Old Madam Jin heard this, her anxious expression disappeared and an approving look appeared on her face.
“Your parents did the right thing. It’s indeed better to have their own place to live! Although you guys are a family now, no one knows what will happen in the future. In order to reduce disputes and conflict, it’s better to live separately. At times, a certain distance is necessary! Your parents did the right thing this time. That’s how it should be!”
“That’s what my grandfather and grandmother said too! At first, I was actually a little reluctant to part with them. I thought that it would be better for the family to live together! After my parents moved away, it would be lonely for Luo Cheng and me to live in such a big house all by ourselves. Later on, I felt that I shouldn’t be so selfish. My parents have their own lives and their own dignity. I can’t force them to suffer things that they shouldn’t!” Li Xiaoran said what was on her mind..
