Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 627: I’ve Always Been Wild (Part 7)

Xia Yinian came over just to see Grandpa, to make him as happy as possible, not to constantly cry behind his back.

So, she quickly composed herself and faced him with her brightest smile.

"Nian Nian not being here, Grandpa has no appetite. Why don’t you stay instead of leaving?"

Feng Heng knew he was being greedy, but that was his heartfelt desire, even though he knew it was impossible.

"Right, I heard Nian Nian is already engaged. How could I possibly wish for you to stay by Grandpa’s side forever?"

Grandpa Feng was aware of her engagement, which Xia Yinian didn’t find surprising.

The affairs of the Gu Family could spread a thousand miles in a day; it was normal for it to reach Yaoshan.

"Grandpa, it’s not a matter of the engagement, and it’s not like you don’t know who you are. If I stayed, I would be cursed to death by others."

Xia Yinian frowned slightly and steered the conversation away from the engagement.

Old Master Feng was a figure of great importance in all of Yaoshan; having her, a little girl, stay by his side for no apparent reason would be enough to drown her in gossip.

She could disregard these rumors, but if they slandered Elder Feng with disrespect due to his age, it would never be good.

She was very protective of Grandpa’s reputation.

"Who would dare curse my granddaughter?" Feng Heng said disdainfully.

Looking at this elderly man, who was as proud as a child, Xia Yinian’s mood also improved significantly.

"Nobody would dare, nobody."

"That’s right. My Nian Nian is so good; if anyone dares to curse you, wouldn’t I tear their mouth?" Feng Heng snorted.

"Grandpa is so mighty!" Xia Yinian pushed the wheelchair slowly forward.

"Grandpa was even mightier before Nian Nian was born." In front of his granddaughter, Feng Heng didn’t feel the need to be humble.

"That’s not right, in Nian Nian’s heart, Grandpa will always be that mighty. But, Grandpa would be even more mighty if you obeyed and ate more, making you livelier."

Xia Yinian stretched out her small hand and smoothed Feng Heng’s slightly ruffled short hair.

"As long as Nian Nian is with me, there’s no problem with how much I eat tonight."

Grandpa Feng with his granddaughter indeed had an air of pride.

"Not just today, it should be like this every day." Xia Yinian gave him a glance.

"Do you plan to stay by Grandpa’s side all the time?" Feng Heng turned and looked up at her, revisiting the old subject.

Xia Yinian knew that he had been lonely for too long, but there were things she felt helpless about.

"I joined the Alchemy Competition in Ye City, and Grandpa knows about it. I came to Yaoshan this time because the officials told the competitors to come here for promotion."

Xia Yinian stopped walking, crouched down beside Feng Heng so he wouldn’t have to look up at her with such effort.

"I’ll be here for seven days this time, and as soon as I’m free I’ll come to see you, okay?"

She lifted the corners of her mouth, not really asking for his opinion.

After all, she missed him, missed him a lot.

As soon as she had time, she would come immediately; she already considered this place her home.

"That’s not good, how is just looking enough?" Feng Heng sighed softly. Just looking did not guarantee much time, yet he still had so much he wanted to say to the little girl Nian Nian.

"We have seven days anyway, why doesn’t Nian Nian just stay over? No matter where you need to go for promotions, I’ll have Feng Yan take you."

"Staying here, is that really okay?" Xia Yinian hadn’t thought about this before, "That would trouble Third Young Master too much."
