Chapter 962: Chapter 960: Have to Deceive

Su Hao glanced at Wu Jinyan and knew that she was feeling distressed because of the child’s origins.

He wrapped his arm around Wu Jinyan’s waist, leading her forward, and gently persuaded in her ear, “Grandpa is calling you, he wants to see his great-grandchild.”

“But…”

Having walked up to Su Qingzhi, Wu Jinyan’s hands were sweating with nerves.

“You don’t have to be afraid. Although I may not look very kindly, I’m not as stern with my great-grandchild as I am with his father. Raising children is your and your husband’s business. I’m old now; I just want to be a great-grandfather who dotes on his great-grandchild!”

Seeing Wu Jinyan’s nervous face, Su Qingzhi tried his best to soften his expression to ease her mind.

The more he tried, the more Wu Jinyan felt like crying.

Tears overflowed from her eyes, “Old General, I’m sorry…”

“Crying? Have I frightened you? If you don’t like it, I will stop insisting. There will be plenty of time for me to hold the child once you’ve given birth!”

A flicker of regret passed through Su Qingzhi’s eyes, but he waved his hand, signaling Su Hao to take Wu Jinyan out.

After the two of them left, Su Qingzhi called Su Yingxue over, clearly upset as he asked her, “Your new sister-in-law seems very afraid of grandpa, what should I do?”

Su Yingxue was confused, “Why would she be afraid of grandpa? Grandpa is so adorable!”

Su Yingxue gently pinched Su Qingzhi’s face, sticking out her tongue playfully. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

“Just now, when I wanted to see her and the great-grandchild, she didn’t dare to come closer. I’ve almost gotten a cramp from smiling; what do you suppose is going on?”

Su Qingzhi had used every trick in the book to secure Su Hao’s marriage to Wu Jinyan, but now he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of his great-grandson, and it troubled his old heart.

“Pfft! Perhaps grandpa has upset the image she had of you in her mind? Grandpa, you are a great hero revered by our generation. How dare ordinary people look at you so casually, let alone approach you!”

Su Yingxue heaped praise until Su Qingzhi was beaming with delight.

He patted Su Yingxue on the head, “You’re so clever! Look at your brother, all tongue-tied! I don’t know how he managed to charm a girl like her!”

“Hahaha! Grandpa, brother is being wrongly accused! You have no idea how many girls in Jiang Du City wish to become my sister-in-law; they would line up enough times to circle the Marquis’s Manor!” Su Yingxue said, winking mischievously.

“Humph! It’s only because he has given me the joy of a great-grandson. Otherwise, he is still of little use!”

With a great-grandson on the way, Su Qingzhi’s face was filled with smiles.

Although premarital pregnancy was against the rites and could damage the Marquis’s Manor’s reputation, Su Qingzhi had already embraced the ideas instilled by Long Shuli, and he wasn’t so rigid anymore.

To him now, the great-grandson was of the utmost importance.

He took Su Yingxue’s hand and patted it, “Since Your Highness is still busy in the military camp these days, you should take good care of your sister-in-law and the child. The child is carrying the Su family’s bloodline, and we must not let anything happen to him.”

“Don’t worry, grandpa,” Su Yingxue agreed readily.

But as Su Qingzhi further inquired about the child’s situation, looking forward to Wu Jinyan’s child, her heart became somewhat heavy.

For Su Hao and Wu Jinyan’s sake, she had to deceive her grandfather this one time.

Once Su Qingzhi had agreed to the marriage, the preparations began in the manor. Su Yingxue also sent for Qin Wan and Madam Yin to help. When Su Han returned from the shop late in the evening, he immediately started planning the wedding.
