Love You Till the End-Chapter 797 - 795: You Didn’t Eat Those Buns?

Ye Jin lingered in the study for over twenty minutes, during which she showered many flattering remarks, but the old man remained indifferent and eventually dismissed her with a curt "That’s enough, you may leave."

After presenting a gift worth four hundred thousand, she received not so much as a glance in return, and Ye Jin left with resentment in her heart. As she opened the door of the study to leave, she cursed under her breath, "Old coot!"

She was too caught up in her anger to notice two figures hiding around the corner, and it wasn’t until she had descended the stairs that Shen Cheng emerged from their hiding spot.

"Brother, did you hear what she just said?"

Shi Keke stood with one arm crossed over her chest and one hand propping up her chin, as though pondering something.

"Some things are better pretended not heard."

Shi Mei merely glanced at her indifferently before striding past her. He walked with a hand casually tucked in his trouser pocket, oozing confidence and charm.

Shi Keke found him somewhat dull and decided not to engage in further conversation, simply following his footsteps into the study.

When they entered the study, the old man was standing by the window. With his hands behind his back and his body worn by the years, he still stood tall.

"Old man..."

Shi Keke walked up to him and affectionately took his arm, smiling, "Congratulations on being another year older."

As if accustomed to Shi Keke’s warmth, the old man tapped her forehead and said, "You little imp, you’ve been back in Du City for so long and didn’t think to visit me." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Who says I didn’t visit? I was here just a few days ago, but you were napping, so I didn’t want to disturb you."

"Is that so?" the old man laughed.

"Do I look like I’m lying?"

"You do."

"What kind of grandfather are you?"

Still smiling, the old man replied, "What’s wrong with being a grandfather like me?"

Shi Keke retorted, "A grandfather like you is too much of a trap for your granddaughter."

The old man let out a hearty laugh.

Seeing him laughing so joyously, Shi Keke became a bit worried and furrowed her brow, "Don’t laugh so loudly, you have high blood pressure. The doctor said you need to stay calm, no extreme emotions, remember?"

The old man patted her hand, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Shi Keke hummed in acknowledgment, then remembered something and asked, "I brought you some soup dumplings a few days ago when I visited. Don’t tell me you didn’t get to eat any of those dumplings?"

"Did that happen?" The old man furrowed his somewhat graying eyebrows, clearly unaware of the situation.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Keke could guess that he had no idea about the dumplings, let alone having eaten them.

Shi Keke recalled handing over the dumplings to the butler and seeing a look of disdain on his face, although it wasn’t very obvious, her keen observation skills didn’t miss it...

"I get it," Shi Keke concluded. "Those dumplings must have been fed to the Tibetan Mastiff by the butler."

Uncle Zhang, the butler, has been serving the Shi Family since his youth, attending to the old man’s needs and sorting out various tedious matters. He is now in his sixties.

He was always meticulous, and anything meant for the old man’s consumption had to pass his inspection. Considering the old man’s health, it is likely the butler wouldn’t allow him to eat something as rich and oily as soup dumplings.

The old man laughed again, "That’s the way Uncle Zhang is, too autocratic. But he means well for my health. No worries, next time you bring dumplings for grandpa, I’ll sneakily eat them."
