Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Is Grandpa Here to Check the Household Register? _1
Jian Yufei looked surprised at the old man who had come in, feeling a bit disoriented.

She had once lost her temper with her grandfather and inadvertently destroyed the bond between them. She thought she would never see her grandfather again in his lifetime, yet he had come in person to see her.

Ruan Anguo walked in alone with a cane, and the people who followed him remained outside the door without entering.

He looked around the French restaurant and asked with a chuckle, “Yufei, how’s work treating you here?”

“It’s good. Grandpa, what brings you here?”

“I just wanted to have a look at your workplace.” Ruan Anguo found a seat and sat down. Jian Yufei went to make him a cup of tea.

She sat down in front of him, reassured to see that her grandfather looked energetic and healthy.

Ruan Anguo picked up the tea she had made and took a sip, pausing to appreciate It. “The tea you make always tastes just right, not a bit too light or too heavy.”

Jian Yufei could only respond with a slight smile, unsure of what else to say.

Setting down his teacup, Ruan Anguo asked her, “I heard you’re getting engaged?”

“…Yes.”

“With your boss?”

“Yes.” She nodded in confirmation.

Ruan Anguo smiled and asked, “Would you mind if I met him?”

Just then, Xiao Lang came over. Seeing him, Jian Yufei stood up to introduce him, “Grandpa, this is my boss, Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang, this is Tianling’s grandfather.”

Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows slightly as the old man sized him up, then suddenly Ruan Anguo chuckled, “Young man, may I have a private chat with you over tea?”

“I’ll go make tea for you.” Jian Yufei excused herself understandingly.

Xiao Lang sat down across from Ruan Anguo and smiled faintly, “I wonder what the old gentleman wants to talk about?”

“Do you sincerely want to marry Yufei?” Ruan Anguo got straight to the point.

“Of course, what else would you think?”

Ruan Anguo laughed and asked, “Where are Mr. Xiao’s parents from, and what do they do?”

“My father lives abroad; my mother passed away a long time ago.”

“Ah, may I ask your father’s name?”

With an unruffled smile, Xiao Lang shared, “My father’s surname is Xiao, and his single name is Heng.”

Xiao Heng?

Ruan Anguo’s eyes filled with confusion; he had never heard the name before.

“How old is Mr. Xiao’s father this year?”

“Is the old gentleman here to check my background?”

“No, I’m just very concerned about Yufei and want to vet things properly on her behalf.”

“What’s your relationship with her that you’re vetting things on her behalf?” Xiao Lang responded dismissively, showing no intention of giving face.

Ruan Anguo did not get angry, but his eyes became sharper, “She calls me grandpa, and I treat her as my granddaughter. I’m just looking out for her as an elder, is there a problem with that?”

“You are Tianling’s grandfather, though Jian Yufei was once the Ruan Family’s young mistress, your concern for her seems a bit excessive.”

“She’s a good girl, I quite like her. If she hadn’t been Tianling’s wife before, I would be happy to accept her as my adopted granddaughter.” Ruan Anguo said with a hearty laugh.

Xiao Lang softened his expression and smiled, “It seems you genuinely care for her a lot.”

“Naturally.”

Jian Yufei brought over the tea, seeing them both smiling, she asked enthusiastically, “What were you talking about that made you both so happy?”

“Nothing much, I was just chatting casually with Mr. Xiao. Yufei, please assist your grandfather on his way out, I won’t overstay my welcome.” Ruan Anguo stood up and Jian Yufei immediately came forward to support him.
