“I was too negligent in the past. I thought that I wouldn’t need to interfere as long as Jiage stopped making a fuss about canceling his engagement with Yaoyao, but who knew that they’d still bring it up after such a long time? I really need to pay close attention to this matter now. Just like today, if Jiage goes out to play, I’m going to make him bring Yaoyao along…
“…If two people never interact with each other, how can they cultivate any feelings for one another?
“Only by interacting will there be affection. Since they’re going out to have fun, there’s bound to be alcohol involved. If Jiage were to have one drink too many, hehehe…”
Grandpa Lin glanced out of the window and chuckled gleefully.
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it sounded.
“…If Jiage touches even one of Yaoyao’s fingers, I’ll have him take responsibility. If he touches more than just her fingers, I might just have my great-grandson by tonight…”
Grandpa Lin took delight in his imagination for a moment before abruptly speaking up again, “Auntie Sun, do you know why I had the driver take them there and stay on standby to take them back home?”
Before Auntie Sun could reply, Grandpa Lin had already shot her an ‘ a dull-witted person like you couldn’t possibly understand it ‘ look and continued speaking, “I sent the driver to spy on them! As long as the driver is around, Lin Jiage wouldn’t dare to dump Yaoyao to the side. No matter how reluctant he is, he’ll have to bring Yaoyao along with him to the gathering. So, it looks like there’s a chance I’ll get my great-grandson… Ah, I really am too smart…”
“…” Auntie Sun couldn’t bring herself to continue looking at Grandpa Lin while he was in such a state, so she took the water flask and silently left the ward to refill it with hot water.

After arriving at the Golden Resplendence, just as Lin Jiage and Shi Yao alighted from the car, Lin Jiage’s phone rang.
The person who called Lin Jiage had quite a loud voice. Standing beside him, Shi Yao could vaguely hear the person on the other end of the phone telling Lin Jiage to hurry up.
Lin Jiage responded with an ” I’m already at the entrance ” and hung up the phone. Ignoring Shi Yao, he took a step forward and began walking into the Golden Resplendence.
Lin Jiage was already 1.8 meters tall when he was eighteen. Back then, everyone thought that he wouldn’t grow any taller, but three years had passed since then, and he had grown yet another eight centimeters.
Shi Yao wasn’t short for a lady, but she couldn’t be considered tall either. Her height barely reached 1.65 meters.
Lin Jiage’s pace wasn’t very fast, but due to his long legs, it didn’t take long for a huge gap to appear between him and Shi Yao.
Shi Yao could only hasten her steps to catch up, and eventually—at least to those watching—she was already doing a light jog.
As the first to reach the elevator, Lin Jiage pressed on the ‘up’ button. When the elevator reached the first floor, and the doors opened, Lin Jiage stepped in, and it was only then he realized that Shi Yao hadn’t caught up with him yet.
Frowning, he waited for a short while, feeling displeased. When the panting Shi Yao finally entered the elevator, he glanced at her silently as he pressed the ‘close door’ button.
Right when the elevator reached the tenth floor and opened its doors, Lin Jiage seemed to have suddenly recalled something and whipped out his phone from his pocket, tapping on his screen as he slowly made his way over to Suite 1001.
As he walked, he would stop from time to time to type something.
It was only when they were about to reach the entrance of the suite that he finally put away his phone.
Pushing open the door, before Lin Jiage could even step in, many echoes of “Brother Jia” could already be heard from inside.
Without saying a word, Lin Jiage held the door open as he turned to Shi Yao behind him and gestured with his eyes for her to enter.
