The short honeymoon ended and the two arrived in Sheng Jin City, staying in the Chen Residence for most of the day. Xin Siyue gifted the exquisite presents the two had chosen along their trip for each elder.
Old man Chen was rocking on his rattan chair and he smiled happily. “Granddaughter-in-law, you’re finally back. There’s someone who can play chess with this old man now.”
Chen Sinan who was elegantly pouring tea said without raising his head, “My wifey won’t be playing chess with you.”
When old man Chen heard this, he grabbed the cane by his side and slammed it against Chen Sinan’s slender legs.
Although Chen Sinan’s gaze was on the teacup, he quickly moved his legs and successfully dodged old man Chen’s attack.
Xin Siyue who stood behind Chen Sinan and was talking to Weng Yinlin held her breath as she saw old man Chen waving his cane towards him. She was frightened that Chen Sinan might suffer a beating, but thankfully he seamlessly dodged it.
She couldn’t help but gasp and then say, “Grandfather!”
Weng Yinlin stood across from her and naturally saw how frightened she was. She patted Xin Siyue’s hands and smiled, saying, “You don’t need to be nervous. Your grandfather and him have always been acting this way since Sinan was a child.” For the majority of the times, unless Chen Sinan purposefully endured the beating, otherwise based on the old man’s moves, how could he land a hit on Chen Sinan?
When Chen Sinan heard this, he smiled at the old man Chen and said, “I have a wife now, so take it easy.”
What Chen Sinan wanted to say was that he has a wife who loves him dearly; however, he was scared that he might provoke this lonely old man. Therefore, he changed his word choice in the end.
“Stop being proud. Plus, I wasn’t asking for your opinion. I was asking for my granddaughter-in-law’s.”
“My opinion is her opinion.”
Old man Chen coldly humphed. “You think we’re in a feudal dynasty? Men being the head of the family has already been out of date.”
Chen Sinan didn’t care about this. “I have the final say no matter what.” With Xin Siyue’s non-existent chess skills, she would probably be bullied for a few years by grandfather and still wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
He could bully her however he wanted to.
But he would not allow for other people to do so.
Chen Sinan finished pouring the tea and stood up, saying, “Wifey, let’s go over to father-in-law and mother-in-law’s house while it’s still early.”
“Ok.” Xin Siyue nodded.
She had prepared gifts for Chen Family’s elders, so she naturally prepared some for her family too.
She already told Chen Family’s elders that she would be eating at the Xin Family.
Once Weng Yinlin heard this, she responded, “Ok, quickly go. If you’re going to stay there for dinner too, give us a call.”
Xin Siyue nodded and before she left, she smiled and said to old man Chen, “Grandfather, when I have time, I’ll come back and play chess with you!”
Old man Chen nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Chen Sinan and purposefully dragged his words, “As expected, my granddaughter-in-law is more considerate.”
Weng Yinlin smiled and agreed. “Father, I think so too.”
Chen Sinan didn’t care and said to Xin Siyue, “Wifey, do you hear this? It’s better if we have a daughter in the future.”
A cute daughter that looks like him…Xin Siyue was touched by the thought.
How could they control whether they give birth to a girl or boy?
Instead, Xin Siyue retorted, “If I give birth to a boy, then…”
Chen Sinan believed that this was a very easy issue to resolve. “If we get a boy, let’s continue to try hard to get a girl.”
