The old Mr. Li used to worry that his grandson might live a lonely life, but now he was completely reassured. He said to Li Hanzhou, "There's nothing for me to do here anymore. I'll go back with your grandma tomorrow."
Li Hanzhou tried to persuade him to stay: "Can't you stay a few more days?"
The old man waved his hand dismissively: "No, staying here ruins the time I have alone with your grandma. With so many third wheels around, we'd better leave quickly."
Li Hanzhou couldn't help but chuckle. Thinking of himself and Qiao Yun, he immediately understood.
With the brothers of the Lu Family around, he barely had any time alone with Qiao Yun.
…
The old Mr. Li invited Qiao Yun out for tea the very day he returned.
Qiao Yun didn't decline.
In the teahouse, the old man skillfully brewed and poured tea, then pushed a teacup in front of Qiao Yun with a smile. "Qiaoqiao, I'll leave this rascal in your hands from now on."
Qiao Yun nodded earnestly. "Grandpa Li, I will."
