Chapter 580: The First Step into the Hall
"If even you won’t take me in, I really can’t think of anywhere else to go."
After saying this, Qin Nanyu let out a sigh.
Ji Weitian couldn’t tell what he was lamenting about, but she felt that if he was telling the truth, then he was truly very pitiful.
She couldn’t help but put herself in his shoes, "Actually, you’re still young, and even without Ruirui, you will have other children in the future. If you comfort your grandfather like this, won’t it be better?"
"It won’t," Qin Nanyu rejected her suggestion without a second thought.
If he really used her method, it wouldn’t be a strategy against her, but digging a hole for himself, perfectly giving her a reason to push him even further away.
"Don’t worry, I won’t stick to you forever. I actually have another reason for coming to you."
Qin Nanyu’s head tilted slightly downward, leaning in close to her.
The distance between them was very close, and the look in his eyes had a layer she couldn’t understand, predatory, the kind that gave one goosebumps.
Just as Ji Weitian stretched her hand to press against his chest, intending to push him away, "What reason?"
Qin Nanyu was not pushed away, but suddenly seized her hand in his, pulling her closer, just before she could become infuriated, his thin lips touched her ear, whispering as if sharing a secret.
"Did I ever tell you, my grandfather is obsessed with having a granddaughter?"
Ji Weitian stiffened. It was as if she had guessed what he was about to say next.
"Old Master Qin doesn’t know about Yaoyao’s existence. What do you think would happen if he found out that not only does he have a great-grandson but also a lovely great-granddaughter?"
His words brought to Ji Weitian’s mind stories she had heard before at the Qin Family Villa.
Old Master Qin, in his desire for a granddaughter which he didn’t have, dressed up Qin Nanyu as a little girl and fooled everyone by claiming he was a little girl...
If the old man found out he really had a great-granddaughter, it might lead to complete chaos.
Ji Weitian swallowed hard and looked up at him.
In her moist eyes, one could easily see her unease.
Qin Nanyu couldn’t bear to scare her anymore, stroking her head to comfort her, "Don’t worry, with me here, I won’t let grandpa do anything rash. It’s getting late, go change your clothes, I’ll accompany you to take them to the kindergarten."
"Okay."
Perhaps truly frightened, Ji Weitian turned to change clothes.
Until she left the Nanpo Apartment, she didn’t recall that she had actually been about to send Qin Nanyu away, so how had it suddenly turned into him accompanying her out?
But the thought that Qin Nanyu had nowhere to go made her unable to bring herself to send him away.
She could only broach the subject tentatively, "I have to go back to work at Jiangcheng University in a bit, don’t you..."
Ji Weitian was hinting for him not to follow her.
But the next second, Qin Nanyu suddenly looked up with a pitiful expression, "I don’t have the keys to my house."
His abandoned puppy-dog look was truly heart-wrenching.
Before Ji Weitian’s mind had time to process, she had already taken him to an alley near Jiangcheng University, found a key-copying shop, and swiftly had a key made for him.
Watching him pocket his own set of keys, her nerve called ’rationality’ finally reconnected. She wanted to say something, but Qin Nanyu had already turned, happily pulling her toward Jiangcheng University.
"It’s getting very late. If we don’t hurry, you’re going to be late."
