Chapter 129: Shameless

When Su Ruan came downstairs and entered the living room, she quickly found out that the atmosphere between her grandpa and Long Fei seemed a little wrong.

Both men did not seem to realize that she had come down and was standing at the stairs, looking at them. Moreover, Su Ruan quickly realized that her grandpa was staring at Long Fei sharply. 

Her gaze shifted between the two men, wondering what they were talking about before she had appeared.

"Grandpa?"

Su Ruan's voice snapped the tension between them. Ma Hao Dong blinked and the earlier look in his eyes quickly disappeared and instead, his gaze became warmer just the way he would often look at her. It made Su Ruan wonder if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Ma Hao Dong cleared his throat when he noticed that his granddaughter was scrutinizing him. "Su Ruan, when did you come over?"

Just now, he was too busy intimidating a certain young master that he had failed to mind his surroundings. Ma Hao Dong was worried that his granddaughter might overhear their conversation.

"I came over just now." Su Ruan flashed a smile. "What did the two of you talk about?"

"Nothing much." Ma Hao Dong sent a look to Long Fei, signaling him not to say anything unnecessary. "Just something about the town."

"Really?"

The look on their faces was too serious to be talking about the town. Su Ruan definitely did not think that her grandpa was telling the truth.

"Of course." Ma Hao Dong nodded but did not dare to meet his granddaughter's eyes. He was not about to tell his granddaughter any details on his conversation with Long Fei.

Although Long Fei had promised that he would treat Su Ruan right and will never do anything to hurt her, as Su Ruan's grandfather, Ma Hao Dong decided to keep his guard against this young master.

Long Fei might say that his elders would not mind his relationship, but Ma Hao Dong was not convinced.

Ma Hao Dong simply did not want his granddaughter to suffer. After all, the girl had suffered enough as she grow up.

Su Ruan raised a brow before she looked at Long Fei again. Clearly, she did not believe her grandpa's words. However, she was not about to call out his bluff.

Noticing that his granddaughter was dressed up nicely, Ma Hao Dong quickly finds this chance to change the subject. "You're dressed up prettily today. Are you going out somewhere?"

A faint blush appeared on her face.

Su Ruan was worried that Long Fei would think that she had dressed up because the two of them were going out. Would he think that she was trying too hard?

"Mmm… I'm going out with Long Fei and we will have our dinner together."

Ma Hao Dong's expression changed upon hearing her words.

"Grandpa, tell my mom that I won't be having dinner at home."

"Mmm… I know. Just come back earlier. It's not safe to be out there at night," Ma Hao Dong glanced at Long Fei, silently giving his warning.

Although he was unhappy that his granddaughter would be going out with Long Fei, Ma Hao Dong knew that he could not stop his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, I know. We won't be going out for too long." Su Ruan chuckled. She turned to Long Fei and asked, "Should we go now?"

"Alright." Long Fei stood up straight and flashed a polite smile. "Grandpa, don't worry. I will look after Su Ruan well."

Ma Hao Dong narrowed his eyes dangerously. When did he let this person call him 'Grandpa'? A few minutes ago, he was still addressing him as 'Old Man Ma'! Ma Hao Dong just realized that Long Fei was shameless!

However, he did not get to vent his frustration and could only watch as his granddaughter leave with a certain rascal.

It was amazing how his view towards a certain young master had changed. Before this, he was still being respectful towards Long Fei, knowing of his status in the town. However, everything seemed to change when he found out that this man was going after his precious granddaughter.

His frustration towards Long Fei did not disappear even after he had left his house.

When Lan Shi walked over, she was surprised to see the look on her husband's face. "What's wrong with you? Who made you so upset?"

Ma Hao Dong finally found someone he could vent to. "It's that boy. That young master. Do you know what he had said to me?"

Lan Shi was still puzzled about what was going on. Just now, her husband had said that the young master's mood seemed to be a little off and that he had gone stupid. What had he done to make her husband upset?

"He told me that he's going after our granddaughter!"

"And then?" Lan Shi clearly did not think that there was any problem with this.

"Aren't you worried?"

"Our granddaughter is already an adult and it was not a strange thing if she wanted to date anyone. Old Man, what are you worried about?"

"You know that those rich people's families are very complicated. We are only ordinary people. We cannot fight against them. I don't want Su Ruan to suffer."

Lan Shi chuckled. "Old Man, you are thinking too far ahead. Our granddaughter is only dating someone. It's not like she was going to get married right away. How long did the two of them know each other?" She let out a sigh and continued, "Alright. Rather than worrying about this, maybe you should go out and look at the staff."

Ma Hao Dong wanted to continue and discuss Su Ruan's future, however, his wife had quickly driven him out of the kitchen and urged him to continue his work.

…

Meanwhile, Su Ruan was peeking at the man beside her as she sat in the passenger's seat. She could not stop thinking about the strange mood between Long Fei and her grandpa. Su Ruan was curious to know what was the two of them had discussed and why did her grandpa seemed as if Long Fei had made him upset.

"Miss Su, do you find it enjoyable to stare at me?"

His question snapped her out of her trance. Su Ruan's face turned red, realizing that she was caught staring at him.

Su Ruan let out a cough. "I wasn't staring. I was just thinking."

"About me?" He turned at her for a brief second with a teasing smile on his face.

Her eyes narrowed as she wondered if this man was trying to flirt with her again. "What were you talking about with my grandpa?"

"Are you curious?"
