Chapter 660: I Can't Bear Not To

Only then did Huo Xiao heave a sigh of relief. If he dared to do so, he would beat this sc.u.mbag to death. Upon hearing his good grandchild say good things about him, he felt even more jealous. “Grandpa knows. You won't be angry at Grandpa for how he treated him just now, right?”

Ling Sheng shook her head. “How could I be? Grandpa, you did it for my own good. How could I be angry at you? You're just Grandpa. If he does something wrong, you can hit or scold him. I asked him to come tonight.”

Huo Xiao's heart ached a little, and he felt terrible. He had yet to dote on his granddaughter for a few days, and now, she had become someone else's woman. His eyes reddened. “Does your heart ache?”

Ling Sheng thought that was a little true. She was afraid that the Third Master would suffer and be given a difficult time by so many people because of her. Her father, her grandpa, her uncle, and the others had been there when she'd gone to visit the Su Family. Her voice was a little m.u.f.fled as she said, “No, he's a big man. His skin is thick.”

Huo Xiao knew that her heart ached, but the young girl refused to admit it. He sighed. “Grandpa knows. I won't hit him again.”

That sc.u.mbag had stolen his granddaughter's heart and had even dared to make her sad. He would beat this sc.u.mbag to death the next time he came!

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Ling Sheng gave him a big smile instantly. “Grandpa, have you agreed then?”

Huo Xiao let out a snort and said ambiguously, “Let's see how he performs. If he dares to make you suffer a little, I'll slap him to death!”

Su Xiyin smiled beside him. Upon hearing this, she remembered what her father had said years ago. In a gentle voice, she said, “Hubby, when you find a man, you have to find someone older than you. Old people dote on others, don't you think?”

Huo Xiao did not speak, but when he saw his wife's smile, his heart softened. He thought of his younger days, when he had faced great obstacles while pursuing her.

Only now did he understand how his father-in-law had felt. He did not want to make things difficult for him, but he really could not bear not to!

Besides giving him a hard time, he did not know of any other way to vent his reluctance and unwillingness.

He was also worried—worried that his darling would not be cherished like he cherished her when she married into someone else's family. He was worried that she would suffer.

Xiaoqi took this opportunity to speak up for Jun s.h.i.+yan. His serious expression and tender voice were very firm. “Great-grandpa, Uncle Jun is a good person. Xiaoqi likes him a lot.”

Huo Xiao sighed deeply. “Xiaoqi, when did you find out about it?”

“When Xiaoqi hit someone.” Xiaoqi did not dare look at his great-grandpa. He had lied. He was not a good child, but he liked Uncle Jun a lot. This was the first time he had known what it felt like to have a father.

Huo Xiao frowned and looked at Ling Sheng. “When did this start?”

Ling Sheng let out a low cough, not knowing what to say. Then, she let out a m.u.f.fled hum. “Quite early.”

Huo Xiao frowned even more. “Before your grandma and I came?”

Ling Sheng nodded weakly, like a child who had done something wrong. She did not dare look up at him. Anyway, they had never been apart. She was not even sure when it had happened, but she explained, “Grandpa, we only confirmed our relations.h.i.+p recently. Before that, we were friends. Really.”

Huo Xiao was even sadder. His granddaughter had grown up and had her own thoughts. She had not even told them that she had a boyfriend. However, what right did he have to blame her for a natural thing like a man and a woman's love?
