Chapter 654: That Familiar Feeling 14
Xia Chuxue harbored a bellyful of grudges, but for now, it really wasn’t suitable for her to do much.So, even if her heart was filled with resentment, the smile on her face was still so sweetly charming.
It was overwhelmingly sweet!
After a while, Xia Chuxue looked at Xia Yinian and asked softly, "Nian Nian, how are the preparations for the Alchemy Competition going?"
"Pretty good," Xia Yinian responded casually, not bothering to look at her.
After serving some vegetables to Grandpa, she helped herself to some as well.
"You must put in a good effort. Without Young Master Ling, it really wouldn’t have been possible to secure a spot. I had thought about trying it out myself but didn’t expect it to be fully booked already."
"Ah Xue, did you also want to participate in that competition?" Elder Feng turned his head to look at her.
Xia Chuxue met Elder Feng’s gaze and smiled slightly.
"Not really, Grandpa, I’m just a bit interested, but with my skill level, there wouldn’t be much point in going."
"Who says it’s pointless? We Fengs are naturally sensitive to such matters. If you truly are interested, you could definitely develop in this direction."
Before Xia Chuxue could reply, Elder Feng continued speaking to Feng Yan: "Ah Yen, follow up on Ah Xue’s registration."
"Though it’s a competition in Ye City, if Ah Xue is interested, we must support it."
How could the children of the Feng Family not be interested in alchemy? Elder Feng believed that with focused nurturing, they could definitely make it.
As long as one carries the blood of the Feng Family, they are bound to be a latent expert in alchemy. Elder Feng had great confidence in his family’s heritage.
"Okay, I understand, Grandpa," Feng Yan replied in the same manner as usual.
It seemed that whatever Elder Feng ordered, he never objected.
Towards Grandpa, he’s even more gentle and considerate than towards his own girlfriend.
Xia Chuxue pursed her lips, naturally withdrawing her gaze.
Did Grandpa just imply he had already agreed to her marriage with Third Young Master without her knowing?
Such a perfect man, Xia Chuxue knew that as long as he treated her well, Young Master Ling would eventually be replaced in her heart.
"But, Grandpa," Xia Chuxue became anxious, "there’s less than a month left, I’m worried I might not be up to it."
The woman who was spying on Feng Yan one second was fully into her role the next.
Xia Chuxue was the kind of woman naturally suited for acting, and her acts were rarely challenged.
"What’s there to worry about, with Grandpa here, with Ah Yen here, there’s nothing to worry about!" Elder Feng reassured her, patting the back of her hand.
"On the contrary, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. It’s just a competition in Ye City, there will be many more opportunities in the future. Grandpa just wants you to be happy."
"Mm," Xia Chuxue nodded her head and responded softly, "I understand."
Xia Yinian didn’t understand Grandpa’s words just now; he actually said Xia Chuxue was interested in alchemy.
Having lived together for over a decade, how could she not know about Xia Chuxue’s interest?
Thinking about it now, maybe this woman made some preparations specifically for Grandpa to see, just for this Alchemy Competition.
It was typical of Xia Chuxue to seek attention, but suddenly being told she was the flesh and blood of another family, how could she have the mind to make such preparations?
Reason urged Xia Yinian not to overthink, but this concerned Grandpa, and she really wanted to completely suppress such thoughts.
Why did it always feel like Xia Chuxue came prepared every time she visited?
Was it just her own prejudice, or was her sixth sense indeed accurate?
