My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 973: Is Grandpa Hard of Hearing?
Yu Longting furrowed his brow, his lazy snake-like eyes both mischievous and defiant, "What time is it now? Well, tell me?"
"It’s the crucial moment when Old Zhao has taken a liking to Dumpling, and if things go south, we might be separated from our child!" I started answering firmly, but under Yu Longting’s gaze, I began to feel guilty.
What, am I wrong?
"It’s just a small matter." Yu Longting tightened his arms around my waist, "We’ve already had a child together, don’t you want to marry me?"
Looking at Yu Longting’s domineering gaze from which I had no escape, I smiled wryly, "Alright, I’ll marry you, but I can’t guarantee grandfather will agree."
"Send grandfather a message and tell him we’re heading straight to the attic to meet Qing Li." Yu Longting called him grandfather so smoothly, smiling gently when he lowered his gaze.
He’s so confident, sure that he can handle my grandfather.
When he hits a snag, let’s see how smug he gets!
Hmph!
I leaned my whole body against Yu Longting and took out my phone, "I’ll notify grandfather right away."

About half an hour later, Yu Longting and I arrived at the entrance of the Lin Family Sect.
Because we informed them in advance, we entered smoothly and without any obstacles.
"Grandfather, why are you waiting for us outside? The sun is so harsh!" I saw Lin Huan waiting at the main house door, so I ran up and put my palm out, standing on tiptoe to shade Lin Huan’s forehead, "Is your health better now?"
Lin Huan, tall and imposing, looked barely over forty after recovering.
Amused by my actions, he said, "I’ve almost recovered, no need for a little girl like you to shield me from the sun. Have you... given birth?"
"Yes, I just had Dumpling not long ago. Yu Longting, let grandfather hold Dumpling." I promptly gave way, allowing Yu Longting to come forward so Lin Huan could see the newborn Dumpling right away.
Yu Longting held Dumpling as he strolled over, handing Dumpling personally to Lin Huan, "Grandfather, I’ve come today specifically to propose."
"Cough... what did you say??" Lin Huan, who had just taken Dumpling into his arms, was so startled by Yu Longting’s words that he choked on his own saliva.
Yu Longting’s thick skin is comparable to a durian’s, that kind of thick and prickly feel.
He said without a change in expression, "Grandfather, are you hard of hearing? I’ve come to seek Wanwan’s hand in marriage, hoping for your blessing, though it doesn’t really matter if you agree or not."
Of course, this is so like Yu Longting!!
That seemingly cultured sentence, although very polite, coming from Yu Longting’s mouth...
It truly feels so out of place.
"Hehe, Snake Lord, don’t call me that, I still want to live a few more years, don’t want to lose my lifespan! I’d rather you call me Lin Wogua." Lin Huan paused, "As for your marriage..."
"In the past, I was immature and didn’t show enough respect to you, grandfather. I hope you can forgive me." Yu Longting reverted to an articulate and well-mannered person that I hardly recognized, "If you have any requirements for the marriage, just let me know, grandfather."
"Snake Lord, no need for formalities, I only have two conditions for you marrying my granddaughter." Lin Huan’s face turned stern, leaving no room for defiance, "The wedding banquet must be held at the Lin Family, and you and Wanwan must have a second child because Dumpling needs a Lin surname."
When facing Yu Longting, he was all sternness, but when he looked down at the crinkly little Dumpling, his eyes were full of doting love, and even the corners of his tightly pressed lips involuntarily lifted.
"Grandfather, could we negotiate? Childbirth is too painful, and I don’t want Wanwan to endure it again." As Yu Longting spoke, Lin Huan’s face turned as cold as iron, but then Yu Longting continued, "No need for a second child, we’ll give this only child to the Lin family. What do you think, grandfather?"
