Chapter 0010 – Hypnosis (2 / 2)

However this sentiment was soon replaced by a faint sadness, “Hey, so compared to this, my heart is even more clogged.”

“You know, we’re both choosing daughters-in-law for our grandchildren, but how come the two of them at my house get along like enemies?”

Gu Lao sighed helplessly, his eyes filled with regret.

When Su Wanqing heard this, her brows knitted lightly and she secretly glanced at Qi Zhiyu, seeing that he had a calm expression and was concentrating on peeling walnuts for her.

“Young people, they have their own way of getting along.”

Qi Lao comforted from the side, “Not long ago you said that your granddaughter-in-law was pregnant?”

The word “pregnant” was like a thunderbolt, instantly hitting Su Wanqing, her heartstrings trembling.

“Yeah, I thought the two of them had finally figured it out and were going to live in peace. Who knew ……”

Gu Lao’s tone was full of helplessness, “The child was not preserved, all because of the sins of my bastard grandson! I am this old, still thinking that I can hold a great grandson before I leave, now it seems …… that I am afraid that I do not have that blessing.”

Su Wanqing’s heart was in a state of shock, just wanted to raise her cup to drink tea to calm down, but was shocked by the word “miscarriage” and almost choked.

“Drink it slowly, no one is stealing it from you, what’s the rush?”

Qi Zhiyu gently patted her back, his tone unusually gentle, a far cry from his usual self.

Surprised, she tugged at the corner of his shirt, leaned close to his ear, and asked quietly, “Are you possessed by something?”

“Hiss!”

Qi Zhiyu flicked her forehead with her fingertips, a bit of mischief in the action.

“Ouch!”

Su Wanqing covered her forehead, surprised but inexplicably settled down inside.

The familiar gesture reminded her that this was the same Qi Zhiyu she knew.

“Pop!”

A crunching sound broke the brief silence, “No bullying of your granddaughter-in-law!”

Qi Lao raised the folding fan in his hand and gently slapped it on Qi Zhi Iu’s shoulder, sternly reprimanding, “Marrying a wife is something to be heartbroken over, not something for you to bully!”

Gu Lao took a look and immediately seized the opportunity to count on Elder Qi, “You were just advising me, saying that young people have young people’s way of getting along.”

“This kid, ever since he was a kid, he’s been a pain in the ass and has caused a lot of trouble.”

Qi Lao shook his head half in reproach and half in favor, “You still need to pay more attention, or what if your granddaughter-in-law gets pissed off.”

As the conversation turned, Gu Lao once again returned to the previous topic, “But then again, the young couple has such a good relationship, when do they plan to have children?”

When Su Wanqing heard this, her heart sank as if it was being pressed by a huge stone.

The road ahead, it seems, is not smooth.

As expected, this family gathering will eventually touch on that delicate and sensitive topic, which, like a feather falling gently in the air, is light enough to make people’s hearts tighten.

A trace of undetectable complexity flashed through Elder Qi’s eyes, and he chose to remain silent, simply looking at his children and grandchildren silently, giving them enough space to answer this question.

Time seemed to freeze in this moment, and an uncanny anticipation filled the air.

“What, the little two haven’t added importation to their life plans?”

Elder Gu seemed to have a keen sense of insight as he gently raised his eyebrows, a hint of playfulness showing in those eyes that had been steeped in years.

As soon as the words came out, Gu Lao deliberately looked sideways at Elder Qi, his tone full of deep meaning and flirtation, “Yo, Elder Brother Qi, look at this, these two young people in your family, they really let you worry about them!”

Qi Zhi Iu, a usually unsmiling man, unexpectedly opened his mouth to break the silence at this moment, “Grandpa, how long do you have in mind to hold your great-grandchildren?”
