Chapter 425 - 403: You’re Not Exactly Mr. Emotional Intelligence Either
After the trip, the group returned to Mai City in grand fashion.Su Nian had already prepared a table of food waiting for them. "You’ve been gone for so long, Grandma’s been talking about you the whole time, wishing she could have gone with you."
Grandma sourly said, "You young people, you have your own lives now and don’t consider this old woman anymore."
"Grandma, you were the one who urged us to get married in the first place, and now you’re the one complaining about us."
Grandma looked at An’an and said, "I made you get married, but I didn’t tell you to neglect the family."
"Your grandma still wants you to hurry up and give her a big fat grandson to hold."
An’an pursed her lips and smiled, turning shyly to glance at Su Yan.
Su Yan kept his usual indifferent expression, as if he hadn’t heard the topic about himself.
Grandma continued, eventually turning her attention to Shen Yiran: "Now you’re the only one left in the family, we’ve arranged so many blind dates for you but you haven’t liked any of them, what do you plan to do?"
Hearing Grandma’s words, Dudu glanced at Shen Yiran, expecting him not to answer such a question. But unexpectedly, he said, "I already have someone I like."
Everyone at the table was stunned, instinctively glancing at Dudu, not with teasing looks, but with pity.
Dudu’s own eyes dropped in disappointment; she buried herself in her food. She had repeatedly told herself not to get her hopes up, but hearing that he had someone he cared for still made her sad. She always wondered, why wasn’t it her?
"If you have someone you like, why haven’t you brought her home?!"
"I haven’t won her over yet."
"Is it that you haven’t won her over or you don’t know how to? Learn from He Xuan if you have to; he’s got quite a way with girls."
The innocent Yang Hexuan hit back, "Grandma, I’ve finally come for a meal, can’t you go easy on me?"
"I’m not criticizing you, I’m praising you. Out of all the kids, you’re the best talker."
"But still, I haven’t found a wife."
"You don’t want to find one. Are there really no girls around you?"
Yang Hexuan laughed and said, "Shen Yiran isn’t short of girls around him either, Grandma. Don’t worry, when he meets the right one, he’ll seize the opportunity."
Grandma gave Shen Yiran a disdainful look and said, "He’s not like you. He’s been a quiet one since he was little. If it weren’t for Dudu sticking to him, no one would play with him, not even An’an, who was born in the same year, liked him."
Grandma’s unintended words struck a chord with two people. If it weren’t for Dudu sticking to him, he probably would have been alone all this time.
The only one who could endure his silent and cold demeanor, trying different ways to make him happy, was probably that girl.
"Fine, I won’t meddle anymore. But let me warn you, pick a decent girl. Don’t go for someone like that flamboyant Liang Zixuan again."
An’an added teasingly, "Grandma, with his taste, he’d only find someone like that. Otherwise, why didn’t he choose good Dudu before but kept Liang Zixuan around? Maybe I drained all his brainpower in the womb, leaving him so dumb."
Su Nian couldn’t help but chime in, "Your brother is smarter than you, you just take advantage of his capability. If Su Yan hadn’t taught you, you wouldn’t have gotten into college."
An’an retorted, "High IQ, low EQ!"
Hearing this, Su Yan couldn’t help but mutter quietly beside her, "Your EQ isn’t much better."
