Chapter 142: Chapter 119: What? I Have Great-Granddaughters Already! [Big Chapter, Over 5000 Words! Subscribe, please!]_1
He had already been through a brush with death.
So, as time trickled by, just in case…
Now the only thing he was worried about was Bai Susu.
If he could see Bai Susu getting married, having children, with a man who loved her and protected her, Bai Zhentian would have fulfilled his last lingering concern.
Of course, he also wanted to meet his great-grandson.
He was getting on in years, and sometimes he found children particularly endearing.
If he could hold his granddaughter’s child, that would truly be a joy.
“Child, in fact, if you’ve accepted each other, it’s good to marry early. Filial piety is paramount, and having no descendants is a serious matter. So, isn’t it nice to marry and have children early?” Bai Zhentian said with a smile.
Looking at these two young people reminded him of himself and his wife back in the day.
Ah, what a pity!
But it was worth it.
“Mm-hmm, Grandfather’s words are very sensible. Actually, Grandfather, we had planned this before. Once you woke up, I would have my parents come to ask for her hand. I want to marry Bai Susu soon. And Grandfather, you don’t have to wait too long to hold your great-granddaughters,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
Facing this elderly man, Ye Fan felt sincere reverence.
Bai Zhentian was truly worthy of his respect.
Whether it was his life achievements or his status, he was someone Ye Fan respected greatly.
“That’s even better if you’re asking for her hand in marriage, hahaha, indeed, you two are a perfect match in every way. Wait, Ye Fan, you said I don’t have to wait too long to hold my great-grandson, what do you mean by that?” Bai Zhentian said, elated, but then he paused, suddenly confused.
Could it be that his precious granddaughter was already…
With that thought, Bai Zhentian looked at his granddaughter’s belly.
The two of them instantly understood Old Master Bai’s implication.
Good heavens, he suspected that Bai Susu was already pregnant.
But Ye Fan was actually quite hopeful.
It was just that they would have to wait until marriage before they could be together again…
Bai Susu’s face turned as red as an apple. How could her grandfather think such things?
What was he imagining?
“Good, good, it seems I won’t have to wait long to welcome my great-grandson!” Bai Zhentian said happily.
Isn’t that so!
Such a wonderful day awaits.
And it’s an auspicious sign too.
Today he had woken up and learned he might have a great-grandson on the way—what great news!
His precious granddaughter was about to get married.
Now, he could truly rest easy.
“Grandfather, it’s not what you think,” Bai Susu said with a shy face.
Good heavens, what was her grandfather imagining?
How could she possibly have a baby inside her?
Besides, the baby was already born.
How was she supposed to explain this?
Bai Susu turned to Ye Fan with a pleading look for help.
Seeing Bai Susu’s anxious expression, Ye Fan smiled.
He hadn’t expected the young miss to actively seek his help.
Upon seeing that Ye Fan was actually teasing her at this time, Bai Susu became a bit unhappy.
“Grandfather, actually, Susu and I already have a child. It was a beautiful misunderstanding. Of course, you can hold your great-grandson in just a few days,” Ye Fan explained with a laugh.
A little embarrassed.
After all, they’d put the cart before the horse, and although it was a misunderstanding, it was indeed the truth.
“What? What’s going on?” Bai Zhentian asked, completely bewildered.
What’s the meaning of this!
Had he grown so old that he couldn’t understand young people’s talk? He was not getting it.
“Actually, it’s like this…” Ye Fan said, looking at Old Master Bai and slowly starting to explain.
Half an hour later…
He explained the cause, process, and outcome of the situation to Old Master Bai.
Only then was everything made clear.
Bai Susu, on the side, turned a bashful red.
It was embarrassing for her to listen to this as the person involved.
To discuss such things in front of her grandfather…
She felt nervous and a bit scared, afraid her grandfather might be angry.
Bai Susu thought she was truly so nervous she couldn’t sit still.
“You girl, you’ve gone through so much. Ye Fan, I’m entrusting my Bai Susu to you. When I get back, I’ll pick a date to see when the auspicious day is for you to marry!” Old Master Bai said.
He hadn’t realized how much his granddaughter had suffered.
For a girl to come this far was remarkable.
She truly didn’t let down the Bai family.
She had courage, persistence, and strength!
“Grandfather, actually, Ye Fan has been very good to me. It’s okay, I only want to marry Ye Fan now,” Bai Susu said with her face still red.
She hadn’t expected her grandfather to learn about the situation without getting angry.
That was a relief!
He was even urging them to get married. Thinking of this, Bai Susu felt very happy.
This was great!
“Don’t worry, Old Master, if I ever dare to fail Bai Susu, I’ll stay single for life and die alone!” Ye Fan declared firmly.
“Don’t talk nonsense, you’re not allowed to say that!” Bai Susu protested immediately upon hearing it.
What was this guy saying?
Oaths shouldn’t be made lightly.
“It’s okay,” Ye Fan said, holding Bai Susu’s hand affectionately.
But it was just an oath, nothing to make a fuss about.
“Cough cough, are you two trying to rub it in for this old man? I’m actually having to swallow your sweetness at my age, can’t you be a bit more considerate of this old man?” Bai Zhentian said helplessly.
Ah, to be old.
Seeing his descendants find their happiness, he felt very content!
“Grandfather, I…” Bai Susu suddenly pulled back her hand and couldn’t bear to look at Bai Zhentian anymore.
