The old lady in front of her was also surprised. She quickly stepped aside and said respectfully, “Sir, Miss Chen, you’ve arrived. The Old Madam has been waiting.”

Shen Yugui was frozen with shock. She was even more at loss after seeing the look that Fei Nancheng gave her.

How was she going to explain that she could not recognize the Old Madam?

Bad eyesight?

‘That’s right! Elder Sister was incredibly shortsighted!’

Shen Yugui immediately acted confused. “I’m sorry, I forgot to wear my glasses.”

“What’s there to be sorry about, you silly girl. Quickly come over here! I’ve missed you so much!”

Old Madam Fei broke the awkward atmosphere through her speech and waved to Shen Yugui with a smile. Although her face was full of wrinkles, she looked very kind.

Shen Yugui had asked her mother before and she confirmed that her sister had indeed no contact with the Old Madam, but for some reason, the Old Madam was acting as if she knew her sister. Could it be that her sister had met with the Old Madam behind their mother’s back?

Afraid of exposing her identity, Shen Yugui approached the Old Madam carefully. “Grandma.”

Just as she was about to bow, the Old Madam grabbed her hands. She wore a pair of reading glasses, and her eyes swept over Shen Yugui’s face a few times before she joked, “You two are heartless! Have the two of you gotten along so well that you’ve become so inseparable and joined at the hip that you’ve forgotten about this old woman until she called for you?”

Shen Yugui. “…!”

Get along well? Inseparable? Joined at the hip?

Just what was she talking about?!

Her mouth twitched as she glanced at Fei Nancheng.

Indeed, he seemed to dislike what he was hearing. He frowned and said softly, “Grandma, I have a meeting at 10.”

Old Madam Fei immediately waved her hand. “Yes, yes, yes, I know you’re a very busy man. I just want to ask, when are you two planning to get engaged?”

Shen Yugui’s mood lifted and she looked at Fei Nancheng again. His eyes glanced at her coldly, growing slightly annoyed. Still, he answered the Old Madam’s question seriously. “We’ll talk about that later.”

The Old Madam did not seem to pick up on the tone he used and continued to smile. “Alright then. Also, give me your phone.”

Fei Nancheng handed over his cellphone without hesitation.

The Old Madam took the phone and unlocked it, and immediately waved her hand at Shen Yugui like she was a child who did something wrong. “You two haven’t exchanged contact details, right? Come, add his WeChat! It’ll make it convenient for you to communicate with each other!”

Shen Yugui’s eyes lit up instantly.

She had been worrying about how to grow her relationship with Fei Nancheng on days other than the first and fifteenth of every month. It was like the Old Madam knew what she needed. What a godsend!

Even if she could feel the man’s eyes burning through her, she steeled her nerves and took her phone out before adding his WeChat contact.

The Old Madam was quick to act and accepted the request the moment it appeared on the app before handing it back to Fei Nancheng. She said fiercely, “You’re not allowed to delete it. Understand?”

Fei Nancheng paused for a moment before muttering, “…Yes.”

He took the phone and looked at Shen Yugui with a warning stare. The meaning behind his gaze was obvious, ‘Don’t bother me!’

Upon receiving Fei Nancheng’s guarantee, the Old Madam waved her hand with an impatient look. “Alright, aren’t you busy, Nancheng? You can go ahead, I still have things to say to the girl!”

Fei Nancheng. “…”

Shen Yugui grew nervous.

Things to say?

If there really was something between the Old Madam and her elder sister in the past, what if she exposed herself?
