After a while, Elder Xi cleared his throat lightly, searching for something to say. "Want to hear some good news?"
Xi Chenyu stayed silent.
"It's about your Aunt Kang and Guoguo and her siblings. Are you sure you don't want to know?"
Elder Xi watched his little grandson's face closely. When he spotted a flicker of interest, he chuckled to himself and deliberately stopped there.
Xi Chenyu: "If you want to say it, just say it. I'm listening."
He would never admit he actually wanted to hear it.
"Your Aunt Kang has a bit of a connection with our family. To be precise, Aunt Kang's grandfather and your grandpa—me—we're quite close. Happy now?"
Elder Xi was still eyeing the kid's expressions, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything this time.
"Got it."
Xi Chenyu nodded, sitting upright, eyes straight ahead.
Elder Xi: "Don't you want to know who your Aunt Kang's grandpa is?"
