After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 880 - 869: It’s All Fake

"Are you sure?" After a long silence, Elder Zheng suddenly asked.

Looking at the photo on her phone, Bi Xia smiled slightly, "Who knows."

"Why," Elder Zheng looked at Bi Xia in response, "not sure?"

She shrugged, put the phone back in her pocket, leaned back in her chair, and like Elder Zheng, picked up a teacup and took a gentle sip, "Of course I’m sure, why else would I like him if I wasn’t sure."

"Then why did you just say you weren’t sure when I asked you?" Elder Zheng was puzzled.

Bi Xia chuckled, "Indeed, who knows, after all, it’s a matter of the future. Whether it’s decided or not... anyway, we’ve decided on each other for now."

Saying this, she looked at Elder Zheng with a smile in her eyes, "As for the future, let time decide. Feelings are such a profound thing, I don’t want to dwell on it, just like now..."

She placed the teacup on the table, spread her hands, "I’ve decided on him, he’s decided on me, we like and support each other, striving to be worthy of one another, that’s pretty good."

Seeing Bi Xia’s eyes, Elder Zheng laughed heartily after a pause, "Technically, I should be telling you, you’re too young for romance, but seeing you like this, I’m not worried at all."

As he spoke, Elder Zheng looked deeply at Bi Xia, "Little Nine, with your grandpa not around, I’m your grandpa now, so everything Grandpa says to you is heartfelt."

"You’re still young, when it comes to feelings, don’t take after your mom," Elder Zheng shook his head gently, "Your mom is stubborn. She had you before marriage and waited for Bi Qingyun despite knowing he wasn’t good. If it weren’t for you waking her up, she’d probably still be holding on."

"It’s not that I don’t trust Qin Family’s fourth son, but you’re, after all, a girl, be mindful of some things," Elder Zheng looked kindly at Bi Xia, "If anything happens to you, how can I face your grandpa, right?"

Elder Zheng looked at Bi Xia seriously, "If that guy bullies you, tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will get revenge for you! Then leave him, and Grandpa will find you someone better!"

Hearing Elder Zheng’s words, Bi Xia smiled softly, slowly got up, went to Elder Zheng, half-kneeled by his leg, gently leaned on his knee, with gentle eyes, feeling the faint scent of herbs from Elder Zheng, she suddenly felt something stir inside.

This... is what it feels like to have a grandpa?

"Grandpa Zheng..."

"Hmm, what’s up?" Elder Zheng gently patted Bi Xia’s head.

Bi Xia softly said, "Do you think if Grandpa knew everything I’m doing now, would he be happy?"

Startled for a moment, Elder Zheng sighed in his heart, truly just a child...

"He would, Old Xia would definitely be very happy," Elder Zheng responded slowly, "Having such an outstanding granddaughter like you is Old Xia’s blessing in this lifetime." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Bi Xia laughed, "Indeed, a granddaughter like me, handsome in men’s clothes and beautiful in women’s clothes, is rare."

"Hey," Elder Zheng tapped Bi Xia’s forehead, "you little rascal, why are you so full of yourself."

Bi Xia innocently sat up straight, looking at Elder Zheng, "I don’t know, it must be hereditary."

"Nonsense!" Elder Zheng laughed, swearing, "Your mom is well-behaved!"

Ugh, that’s because you don’t know her true nature now.

Thinking this, Bi Xia smiled slightly, "I wasn’t talking about my mom, I was talking about my grandpa."

"Maybe it’s a trait that skips a generation."

Elder Zheng: ...

Well, that’s not wrong...

Sighing lightly, Elder Zheng looked at Bi Xia, somewhat nostalgic, "You know, your self-confidence and cheekiness do very much resemble your offbeat grandpa. Back in the day, his temper offended quite a few people."

With a twinkle in her eyes and a grin on her red lips, "Do you think I’ve offended too few people now?"

Elder Zheng rolled his eyes, "You! You should know moderation! You’re just a little fox!"

Bi Xia winked, snapping her fingers, "Then hurry up and agree to our contract! Then I can earn money to support my grandpa!"

"Alright, alright! I’ll agree right away..." Elder Zheng responded with a chuckle, then suddenly stopped and gave Bi Xia a firm tap on the head, "You little fox! You’ve learned to use emotional manipulation! No way! Even brothers settle accounts clearly!"

"Ugh!" Bi Xia held her head, muttering softly, "So it turns out when you said you’re my grandpa and treat me as your actual granddaughter, it was all a lie."
