<strong>Capítulo 1438: Chapter 1451</strong>


    He just nced at Han Wanwan lightly and respectfully said, “Hello, Miss Han.”


    Uh.


    Han Wanwan stood there, her jet-ck eyes shining like ck grapes, darting back and forth between the two of them. Why did she feel like she had traveled back to ancient times…


    Entering the castle, the first sight was an incredibly luxurious hall. Complex crystal chandeliers hung from the domed ceiling, and the high walls cast dark shadows on the soft carpet. Han Wanwan walked forward step by step, treading softly on the carpet.


    This doesn’t feel real…


    An elderly man with white hair sat upright in the middle of a leather sofa. No matter how tightly he knitted his brows, Han Wanwan could still see the hidden amusement in his expression.


    Before she could go forward to greet him, the old man mmed his cane on the ground, but striking the carpet didn’t make much noise. “You still remember toe back!”


    The Old Master red angrily at Yuwen Kangli and then noticed Han Wanwan hiding behind him. He paused and raised his chin to signal, “Aren’t you going to invite her to sit down? Don’t just stand there looking foolish.”


    Yuwen Kangli shifted to the side and not-so-gently pulled her hand forward to introduce, “Han Wanwan, my new girlfriend.”


    “Hello, Grandpa.”


    Under his warning gaze, Han Wanwan immediately behaved very obediently, stepping forward sensibly and nodding to greet him.


    The Old Master kept his lips pursed to show his disgruntlement. His grandson clearly stayed in City A, but only came to the old mansion once a month for routine visits and would never proactively appear here. If it wasn’t for him subtly probing Lin Zhong, he wouldn’t even know his precious grandson had learned to keep a “golden house hiding a beauty.”


    “Hmm.”


    With a grunt, considered acknowledging, the Old Master sized Han Wanwan up from head to toe. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction, a kindly smile appearing on his lips, “Sit, sit, sit, youngdy, don’t be afraid. If Yuwen Kangli bullies you, just tell Grandpa, and I’ll take care of him for you.”


    “…”


    Han Wanwan and Yuwen Kangli both froze.


    Han Wanwan was the first to react. She walked to Grandfather’s side and sat down, naturally hooking her arm into the Old Master’s. Her affection didn’t resemble a first meeting at all; instead, she was like a granddaughter being yful with her grandfather.


    “At that time, Grandpa must stand up for Ruoxi, okay? You can’t favor him just because he’s your grandson.”


    Yuwen Kangli stood there dazed, feeling like he suddenly became the outsider.


    The housekeeper stepped forward to remind him, “Young Master, don’t just stand there, lunch will be ready soon—let’s rest a bit first.”


    “Ruoxi, you’re just so young. How did you get tricked by that kid Yuwen Kangli?”


    “…” Yuwen Kangli’s mouth twitched, hearing his grandfather “praise” his grandson like this.


    But Han Wanwan seemed indifferent, still holding the grandfather’s arm without letting go, and speaking as if her mouth was coated in honey, “Who could resist when Grandpa raised such an outstanding grandson. I willingly let him fool me.”


    Bah!


    Pleasing the old man with her words, yet inwardly she was full ofints. “Damn willingly; Grandpa, I mistakenly boarded your grandson’s pirate ship. The only exit leads to squatting in jail sipping horrid tea, and I don’t want any of that.”


    She wasn’t just going with the flow; she had been warned en route that if the act got botched, Yuwen Kangli would expose her embarrassing photos!


    Damn Yuwen Kangli! How dare he ckmail her with those wretched photos! Just wait, she’d get back at him!


    “Grandpa, isn’t it lonely living in such a big ce all by yourself?” Actually, she wanted to ask why she didn’t see Yuwen Kangli’s parents. If they weren’t around, would she have to act again? ying the role of the proper daughter-inw felt so daunting to her.


    The Old Master seemed to read her mind, patting her little hand with his wrinkled one, “Don’t be so tense, treat this as your home, and just be yourself.”


    Han Wanwan quietly bit her tongue, lowering her voice as she asked in the Old Man’s ear, “Did you see through us?”


    “Hmph, who am I? Your little tricks are transparent to my eyes. Besides, I know my grandson. Although youe from a prestigious family, your personality seems quite straightforward. That, I’m aware of, so don’t be so formal in my presence.”


    “Oh, thank you, Grandpa.”


    Oh, if only he had said so earlier and spared her the difort.


    She barely rxed, stretching a bit when she met with Yuwen Kangli’s warning gaze…


    Han Wanwan quietly retracted her outstretched arm, suddenly resembling a well-behaved granddaughter-inw, meekly sitting beside the Old Master.


    The Old Master didn’t notice Yuwen Kangli’s silent warning. He continued watching Han Wanwan with a smile, recounting his youthful exploits.


    From the south of the heavens to the north of the seas, half an hour slipped by without notice. The Old Master seemed to have an abundance of tales left. Even Yuwen Kangli wondered when his grandfather had be such a chatterbox.


    Moreover, an inexplicable jealousy welled up inside him, seeing how Han Wanwan enjoyed his grandfather’s stories, their conversation lively to the point where he couldn’t get a word in edgewise…


    The housekeeper unknowingly stood beside the Old Master, hesitating to speak, reluctant to disrupt such joy.


    Han Wanwan noticed the housekeeper’s hesitation, and the aroma of food in the air, so she helped the Old Master up, suggesting, “Grandpa, let’s eat while we talk.”


    “…” Now it was the housekeeper’s turn to be stunned. That line was his, and their Old Master never liked talking during mealtimes. But since she already said it, all he could do wasply, “Sir, lunch is ready.”


    “Not knowing your tastes, we prepared some simple home-cooked dishes, hope you enjoy.”


    The heartyugh made Han Wanwan feel warmly weed. She never imagined someone of Yuwen Kangli’s lowly character having such an endearing grandfather.


    She wasn’t alone in this feeling; the Old Master was, too. Earlier on, he had seen Han Wanwan on TV, but seeing her in person was even better, much to his delight. His grandson choosing such a granddaughter-inw left himpletely satisfied.


    He thought, if Yuwen Kangli dared refuse, he’d break his grandson’s leg with his cane!


    The Old Master shot a fierce re at Yuwen Kangli before turning back to Han Wanwan with a kindly smile.


    Yuwen Kangli could only watch, silently enduring. Suddenly, he felt like he was the guest…
