Chapter 1555: Chapter 1555: Grandpa “Angry”?

“You two stay out all night and yet you expect to set a good example for the little ones!” Jian Xiaokai crossed his arms, looking every bit like a disciplinarian.

Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan were stopped at the door by the four little troublemakers.

“Yeah, Tiantian takes mom out to stay overnight, that’s just too much. Mom isn’t just yours,” Qian Lele pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

“Boo hoo, I’m unhappy, unhappy. Daddy only likes mom and doesn’t like Xiaoxin anymore,” Xiaoxin tugged at Chu Liyuan’s sleeve, throwing a little tantrum.

“Of course Daddy likes Xiaoxin,” Chu Liyuan squatted down and picked up Xiaoxin. “Have you been eating too much lately, how come you’re getting so heavy?”

“Even if I’m heavy, I’m not as heavy as mom. How come you never say mom is heavy when you carry her?” Xiaoxin’s little face scrunched up.

“Well…” Chu Liyuan turned to Jian Dan for help.

But Jian Dan just turned her face away, feigning disinterest.

“Dad, tell me, do you like mom more or Xiaoxin more?” Seeing that Chu Liyuan wasn’t answering, Xiaoxin continued to prod.

“Xiaoxin, just remember, besides mom, you’re the one I love most,” Chu Liyuan said unabashedly to Xiaoxin.

Even Jian Dan didn’t expect Chu Liyuan to say that.

“See, you already knew the answer but went and asked again anyway. Isn’t that just inviting humiliation?” Kuaikuai, from the farthest corner, leaned lazily against the wall and spoke coolly.

“Hmph!” Xiaoxin wriggled out of Chu Liyuan’s arms and ran off in a huff.

“Uncle, why did you say that just now? That’s no way to talk to a child!” After seeing Xiaoxin run off, Jian Dan nudged Chu Liyuan with her elbow.

“But I can’t lie to the child!” Chu Liyuan said matter-of-factly.

“This…”

“Alright, could you two stop being lovey-dovey so early in the morning? If you’ve got the time, you’d better hurry to the dining room. Great-grandpa came over early and has been waiting a long time,” Kuaikuai said, then turned and walked towards the dining room.

“Grandpa? Did Grandpa say what’s up?” Since Kuaikuai had already left, Jian Dan looked to Jian Xiaokai.

“How would I know? Great-grandpa didn’t say a thing. He just came to find you, and when he didn’t see you, he sat in the dining room waiting.”

“Mom, be careful! I noticed Great-grandpa didn’t look happy, so it probably isn’t good news,” Qian Lele whispered as he came up beside Jian Dan.

“Huh? Did I do something recently to upset Grandpa?” Jian Dan scratched her head, trying to remember.

“Don’t worry, I’m here!” Chu Liyuan pulled Jian Dan closer and said.

“Uncle, do you think it could be something between Grandpa and Granny again?”

“Don’t speculate, let’s just go ask,” Chu Liyuan said, guiding Jian Dan by the waist towards the dining room.

When they reached the dining room, they saw Grandpa sitting there with a stern expression, his hands resting on his cane, sitting upright.

It looked like something huge must have happened.

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan saw Jian Dan, he got up from his chair and walked straight towards her with determination.

Jian Dan felt the pressure of Chu Zhiyuan’s presence pushing her backward unconsciously.
