Cecilia Gu's tears fell instantly. "Grandpa Mo..."
Grandpa Mo dealt with rough men every day, and although his own granddaughter seemed delicate and fragile—seriously, have you ever seen a strong woman who’s actually delicate and fragile? Don’t be fooled by appearances, okay?
But Cecilia Gu really was delicate and fragile...
So when Cecilia started crying, Grandpa Mo was at a loss for what to do.
Cecilia Gu stood up and bowed deeply to Grandpa Mo.
"Thank you, Grandpa Mo. For the rest of my life, you'll always be my grandpa." Cecilia said, her eyes brimming with tears. "I never had a grandfather growing up, not in the Gu family or the Yun family. You are my grandpa."
Cecilia's words were completely unadorned, but they were her most sincere and heartfelt feelings.
Grandpa Mo sighed softly. "Ah, looks like I've found myself another granddaughter."
Cecilia Gu couldn't help but smile through her tears.
Grandpa Mo opened his arms to Cecilia, and she immediately threw herself into his embrace. "Grandpa..."
"Yes." Grandpa Mo replied, his old heart comforted.
Grandpa Mo patted Cecilia's shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, no more crying. Zixuan hasn’t cried since she was a teenager. When you cry like this, this old man really doesn’t know what to do."
Only then did Cecilia Gu finally smile through her tears.
"Go call Charles Yin in to see me. I want to see what makes this rascal better than my own grandson, that he could snatch away such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law." Grandpa Mo patted Cecilia’s shoulder again. "Go on."
Cecilia Gu stood at the door, wanting to say something but hesitating as she looked at Grandpa Mo.
Grandpa Mo waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, alright, I won’t make things hard for him! I’ve only just got a new granddaughter and you’re already siding with him—girls really do favor outsiders!"
Hearing Grandpa Mo say that, Cecilia Gu finally broke into a smile. "Okay, I’ll go call him right now!"
Watching Cecilia’s cheerful figure leave, Grandpa Mo could only shake his head in exasperation.
Charles Yin had been waiting outside the whole time.
As soon as Cecilia went in, Charles Yin was outside, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.
He would rather have Grandpa Mo beat him and scold him than make things difficult for Cecilia Gu.
Now, seeing Cecilia Gu come out happily, Charles Yin immediately asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did Grandpa say anything? Did he mention..."
Cecilia Gu quickly reached out and covered Charles Yin’s hand, speaking seriously, "Charles, I know what I’m about to say may sound harsh. But since I promised Mom and Dad, I can’t be the one to bring up breaking off the engagement. Just now, Grandpa said that as long as you pass his test, he’ll let us be together."
Even though Cecilia was covering his mouth, Charles Yin couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes after hearing her words!
As expected, it’s possible!
Cecilia encouraged Charles, "You can do it! Grandpa is really tough, don’t let his aura overwhelm you!"
Charles raised his eyebrows and gave a charming smile, "Trust your husband, there’s absolutely no problem!"
Cecilia watched Charles’s handsome eyebrow lift and couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe, gently touching his forehead. "Mm, I trust you!"
Charles wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. He took advantage and planted a kiss on Cecilia, hugging her tightly. "I’m going!"
"Mm." Cecilia nodded with a smile.
Charles turned and walked straight toward Grandpa Mo’s room.
As soon as he entered, Charles immediately restrained his own aura and sat properly in front of Grandpa Mo, obedient like a child.
Grandpa Mo said impatiently, "Alright, don’t bother pretending in front of me."
Only then did Charles chuckle and take the initiative, "Cecilia said you’re willing to give us a chance? Grandpa, rest assured, I won’t let you down!"
"You really are..." Grandpa Mo shook his head helplessly, speechless at Charles’s sudden switch to calling him Grandpa.
No wonder that girl is so devoted to him—this is something my own grandson can’t compete with!
His own grandson is great in every way except one: he’s emotionally reserved and never expresses his feelings so passionately.
That’s just how he is!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited so many years to get married.
Ahem, getting off topic.
