The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince! - Chapter 365

Chapter 365

“My head is pounding, too . ”

“It’ll pass . ”

“Gosh, I’m nervous!”

Sheng Yize glanced at her being all jittery and broke into laughter . He then leaned toward An Xiaxia’s little ear and whispered, “I’m actually more nervous than you are . ”

This was the first time he had ever brought a girl home .

He kissed An Xiaxia on her mouth and the resentful An Xiaxia bit his lip .

He let out a little groan and said with a straight face, “I’m telling my grandparents that their granddaughter-in-law was abusing me . ”

“What granddaughter-in-law… go away…” An Xiaxia buried her face in her hands, feeling painfully shy .

He peeled her hands off her face and took hold of one . He then slowly led her toward the house .

The dazzling sunlight shone down and for a moment, An Xiaxia felt her head go blank .

The world seemed to turn into a black-and-white silent movie . All she could feel was that warm hand holding hers, as if it was leading a lost person through a foggy night .

The fear in her heart seemed to dissipate, for she believed that he would be on the other end, waiting for her .

–

The two entered the house and An Xiaxia took in the decor . Unlike the extravagant European style she had seen in the other Sheng family home earlier, this old house was decorated in the traditional Chinese style . The garden at the back also had a little bridge and flowing water, which gave off a quaint and exquisite air .

In the living room, an elderly couple wearing traditional Chinese clothes were anxiously waiting for them .

“Old man, do you think our granddaughter-in-law will like me as her grandma?” a sweet old lady asked in a worried tone .

“Stop worrying about that . She’s our grandson’s wife, not ours . As long as she likes him, we old bones don’t matter!” the stern-faced and old-fashioned grandpa scolded her . However, his hand kept rubbing the handle of his walking stick, betraying his own uneasiness .

“Hey, they’re here!” the old lady cried out in delight . Her face lit up when she saw An Xiaxia at the doorway .

She was pretty, had clear eyes, and most importantly, was holding hands with her dear grandson . Grandma Sheng liked An Xiaxia right away!

“Grandpa, Grandma, I’ve brought Xiaxia here to see you . ” Sheng Yize smiled and led An Xiaxia to his grandparents .

An Xiaxia had never felt this nervous . Her cheeks were flushed as she greeted them . “Nice to meet you, Grandpa, Grandma…”

The elderly Sheng couple was exhilarated . Grandma Sheng rose to her feet and took An Xiaxia’s hand . “Nice, I’m very nice! Little Xiaxia, have you eaten? Are you hungry? Is the room warm enough? I can turn the heater up…”

An Xiaxia looked at this amiable old granny, finding her hale and hearty and quite young for her age .

She could also tell that the old lady liked her wholeheartedly .

That eased An Xiaxia greatly . She shook her head to her questions . Grandma Sheng then sat her down and engaged her in small talk . Grandpa Sheng kept his poker face on, but kept darting quick glances at An Xiaxia and smiling when no one was looking . He was apparently very satisfied with An Xiaxia as well .

Sheng Yize rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly . “Grandma, Xiaxia just got here and you’ve already forgotten me . ”

Grandma Sheng snorted . “You can go . Leave Little Xiaxia here!”

Sheng Yize was speechless .

“Little Xiaxia, Yize said you have a sweet tooth . Your grandpa made these traditional desserts himself! I hope you like them!” Grandma Sheng then pushed a few dishes of exquisite desserts toward An Xiaxia .

An Xiaxia was dazed . Grandpa Sheng had to be in his sixties or seventies . Had he made these just for her?
