Chapter 64

"Sister Manman, what's your grandfather's background? He actually brought Section Commander Duan here."

After Wang Mingkui saw Section Commander Duan's guard drive away with her own eyes, her shoulders slumped, and her whole person relaxed.

"No special background; my grandfather was also a soldier in the past; Section Commander Duan was perhaps visiting old soldiers, and the conversation with my grandfather was congenial, so they chatted a bit more."

Shen Man blinked her innocent big eyes and told a white lie with a straight face.

She believed that her grandfather would also support her statement and not want to expose his true identity, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"So that's it; I just said, seeing your grandfather, I felt a sense of righteousness; one look and you can tell he's been on the battlefield..."

Hearing this, Wang Mingkui felt a little more relaxed; she was also a clever person and naturally didn't fully believe this explanation.

But since Shen Man wouldn't say, she would pretend not to know.

Sometimes, people need to be rarely confused.

"Alright, I see your Jiang Ye has come; you two young people go upstairs with the lunch box to eat dinner; I won't set a time for coming downstairs."

A teasing light flickered in Wang Mingkui's eyes; she had watched this young couple with her own eyes for less than a week, from being unfamiliar, to familiar, to getting married and receiving their certificate.

Talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, a perfect pair; standing together, they were both pleasing to the eye and a perfect match, absolutely!

She didn't know if her two bratty sons would be able to bring her back a beautiful, fresh young girl as a daughter-in-law after they grew up?

"Wangjie."

Jiang Ye carried the lunch box, his hands full, and after entering the Guesthouse, he greeted Wangjie naturally.

Then his gaze never left his wife.

Wang Mingkui clicked her tongue in her heart and responded with a smile on her face:

"Hey, Little Jiang, you two hurry back upstairs to eat; I'll watch your bicycle."

"Hmm."

Shen Man's face was burning; Brother Jiang Ye's gaze seemed to want to eat people, the kind of scorching heat that wanted to swallow her into his stomach...

She didn't even think and took a step first, instinctively wanting to escape.

Behind her was the steady pace, the rhythmic sound of military boots stepping on the stairs.

Step by step, there was no urgent pursuit, but it made Shen Man feel the locked-in, inescapable palpitation.

Jiang Ye's gaze, from bright to dark, stared tightly at his wife who was fleeing in panic.

It wasn't until they reached the second floor that he put away the rich possessiveness on his body.

There was plenty of time; there was no rush between them as husband and wife.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Grandpa, Brother Jiang Ye brought dinner."

Shen Man knocked on the door of the next room, and after getting a "come in" from her grandfather, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Jiang Ye followed behind his wife and greeted politely—

"Grandpa."

"Hey, Little Jiang, you're here; come in and sit, I'll find something first, you two tidy up the table."

Seeing his granddaughter's husband, Lu Lao Zu's face blossomed into a bright sunflower involuntarily.

He had brought good things and couldn't wait to share them with the younger generation.

"Okay."

Jiang Ye understood, his gaze swept to the tea set on the table that hadn't been tidied up, so while putting down the lunch box, he rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to tidy it up.

"Brother Jiang Ye, Grandpa Duan was just here; why didn't you tell me he was Section Commander Duan?

When I first found out his true identity, I was scared."

Shen Man busied herself taking out the lunch box, opening the lid, and setting out chopsticks for her grandfather.

She muttered in a low voice, her expression a mix of annoyance and surprise, extremely vivid.

Jiang Ye took advantage of the fact that Grandpa wasn't paying attention and quietly whispered to his wife, responding in a low voice:

"It's my fault, it won't happen next time.

If you're still not satisfied, kill or scrape me, I'm at your disposal."

"Got it."

At such a close distance, the moment they looked at each other, her earlobes felt numb and tingling, as if there were tiny electric currents in her body, making her heart tremble uncontrollably.

Grandpa was still there, so she didn't dare to be too intimate with the man in front of an elder.

Pushing him away slightly, Shen Man tried to keep her tone as normal as possible and asked with concern:

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

Jiang Ye's brows and eyes carried a smile; the coldness and self-restraint carved into his bones melted bit by bit under his wife's concern.

It was as if in a world of ice and snow, a small boat suddenly appeared, its anchor thrown at his feet; as long as he was willing, he could escape this monotonous and boring world of ice and snow at any time!

"Little Jiang, people are iron, rice is steel; if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry; there's so much food, let's eat together."

Lu Lao Zu had just been rummaging through his suitcase and pulled out a jar of pickles.

That was the snow cabbage Xiao Wang had pickled for him; it was stir-fried, spicy, and he could take some out whenever he wanted to eat; it was great with rice.

"Hmm, Grandpa is coming to the Sea Island for the first time, and I'm not sure about Grandpa's taste, so this time I ordered dishes that were stewed until they were soft; you try them and see if they suit your taste."

Jiang Ye naturally agreed; when it came to pleasing elders, it wasn't that he disdained doing it, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to coax them.

"Good, good, good, it's hard for you to even consider my teeth; my teeth really can't chew meat anymore..."

Seeing the dishes, Lu Lao Zu couldn't help but wonder if Brother Duan was being too modest?

This granddaughter's husband, he looked like he was thorough in everything, and when he took care of people, he was meticulous; how did he look like the silent person the other party described, who should be forgiven if he said something wrong?

"Grandpa, when technology is advanced and the hospital makes dentures, I'll take you to get a set."

Shen Man handed a pair of chopsticks to the man as well; there were three boxes of rice, one of which was softer, which she handed to her grandfather, and the remaining ones were for her and Brother Jiang Ye.

However, having learned from the past, she handed half of the rice in her lunch box to the other person's bowl.

This way, it wouldn't count as her not being able to finish her meal, and Brother Jiang Ye wouldn't have to eat her leftovers, right?

"Dentures, huh? I heard that stuff is expensive and has to be washed every day; it's so troublesome."

Lu Lao Zu pricked up his ears to listen, feeling a bit moved, but his mouth was still a bit stubborn, and he declined.

He thought to himself that he was old, so why spend money in vain? Wouldn't it be better to save this money for his granddaughter's future children to buy milk powder?

"You can't say it like that; buy early and enjoy early; if you eat well and drink well, Grandpa, and are in good health, we as juniors will be happy."

Jiang Ye persuaded him first; he saw through the old man's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but be moved.

This bond between generations, this blood kinship, was truly something that made him feel the warmth between relatives after a long time...

"That's right, that's right, what Brother Jiang Ye said is what I'm thinking; Grandpa, don't worry about the money; when the time comes and there's a lead on dentures, we'll take you to customize a set.

You don't know, on this Sea Island, not only are there all kinds of seafood, but there are also all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and lots of delicious food..."

Shen Man echoed, the couple singing in harmony; they weren't afraid that the old man wouldn't take the bait.
