Chapter 204

"Xia Xia is just being polite, you still need to work harder!"

Qiao Nainai came to Shu Xia's rescue.

Qiao Muting walked over and sat directly beside Shu Xia.

His gaze swept casually over the television.

A variety show was playing on it.

Men and women were gathered together eating, exchanging glances.

In his view, let alone the first or second male leads, even the third or fourth male guests couldn't compare to him.

Of course, those women couldn't compare to Shu Xia either.

Seeing Qiao Muting sit beside Shu Xia so naturally, Qiao Nainai winked at Qiao Muting with understanding; when did he become so intimate with Xia Xia?

She thought she couldn't tell when they were acting before.

But now, it was clearly no longer acting.

This boy liked being close to Xia Xia.

At this age, a young man should be in his prime and thinking about women, right? Qiao Nainai pondered in her heart regarding her grandson.

Shu Xia had originally been watching the variety show with Qiao Nainai quite casually, even able to discuss all sorts of things.

Now that Qiao Muting was sitting beside her, it made her feel slightly constrained.

Qiao Nainai glanced at the time and hurried the two of them away, "It's already dark, you two should head back. You have to get up early tomorrow for your check-up, don't sleep too late tonight."

"Alright."

The two nodded in agreement.

Watching the two of them leave, Qiao Nainai sighed to Butler Qin, who was standing to the side, "Do you think they will give me a great-grandson to hold next year?"

"I think they will; one can tell that the young master likes the young mistress," Butler Qin said.

They were old and had seen many people, and the young master was someone she had watched grow up; if it weren't someone the young master liked, he wouldn't say a single word more than necessary, not even one.

But just now, after the young master arrived, his gaze went straight to the young mistress.

And he was even able to tease the young mistress with his words; she wouldn't believe it if someone said the young master hadn't moved his heart in this situation.

It was just a matter of seeing how the young master viewed his own feelings.

Qiao Nainai nodded with a chuckle, "I think so too. By the way, go check on the situation with the Shen Family. If they still dare to have other ideas and want to sabotage the relationship between Mu Ting and Xia Xia, you tell me."

She hadn't expected that at her age, she would still have to worry about the romantic problems of her grandchildren's generation.

"Understood, don't worry, Old Madam. I think the young master has already resolved this matter. I've met that young lady from the Shen Family before; she seemed quite clever and sharp, and she even works as a host at the television station, so she should have been quick-witted. I didn't expect her to be capable of doing something like this," Butler Qin said with some emotion.

She hadn't paid attention to the rumors outside before, nor had she mentioned them to the Old Madam.

In Jing City, how many people wanted to climb up to the Qiao Family? This kind of thing was nothing out of the ordinary.

But she had truly never seen anyone bring such matters before the Old Madam until now.

Qiao Laotaitai huffed, "If they sabotage the relationship between Mu Ting and Xia Xia, I won't spare them!"

On the way back, Shu Xia and Qiao Muting were in the same car.

Qiao Muting was driving, and her car was being driven back by a chauffeur.

Shu Xia had been busy all day and was a bit tired; after saying just two sentences to Qiao Muting upon getting in the car, she drifted off into a deep sleep.

Afterward, Qiao Muting seemed to have said something else, but she was too groggy to hear it clearly.

Qiao Muting had just told her to consider their marriage; if they both felt the other was alright and could spend the rest of their lives together, then they should just continue like this.

But after his words fell, he never received a response from Shu Xia, so he looked toward Shu Xia with some confusion.

Upon looking, he discovered that she had actually fallen asleep.

Watching her unguarded, sleeping face, Qiao Muting looked at the traffic light ahead and suddenly had a feeling.

This wasn't bad either.

There was no need for that kind of earth-shattering romance.

Hadn't the most beautiful campus romance Shu Xia experienced ended in a mess anyway?

Without love, perhaps a husband and wife could last a long time.
