No matter what, the issue was finally resolved.
In the car, Ning Xi was prepared to call her grandfather to report the situation to him. However, before she called, she still felt troubled.
Sigh, even though she and Xi Shiqing had already discussed what to say to each otherâs grandfathers, what if her grandfather refused to give up?
âHello, Grandfather!â
âHey, Xiao Xi! Have you met up with the grandson of the Xi family already? How was it? Heâs not too bad, isnât he?â
âCough, Grandfather, heâs not too shabby. But he wasnât interested in me!â Ning Xi answered.
âWhat are you saying? That kid wasnât interested in you?â the elder asked agitatedly.
âNo, Grandfather, what I mean is that the both of us arenât interested in each other. Please donât try to match us together anymore!â Ning Xi played out the explanation she and Xi Shiqing had agreed upon.
On the other end of the phone, the elder sounded very disappointed. âHow could this be? I even met up with him first. He doesnât have any disabilities and he looks like a talented young man before I was satisfied enough to let him meet you for a blind date. You donât like someone like him? Then, tell me whatâs your type, Iâll help you look again! I still have another old friend. His grandsonâ¦â
Oh noâ¦
Ning Xi buried her face in her hands. âGrandfather, donât! Grandfather, I really donât want to look for a partner right now!â
âXiao Xi, trust me, I was once in your shoes. Youâre at the best age right now. Now is the best time to look for the ideal man. In factâ¦â
Ning Xi was suffering from a headache when she felt a warm presence beside her. Lu Tingxiao had suddenly sidled up to her and said softly into her ear, âTell your grandfather that your boss doesnât allow you to date.â
Ning Xi was astonished. She covered the mouthpiece of her handphone to ask Lu Tingxiao, âWhat?â
âDidnât Ling Zhizhi tell you? In your current situation, you canât get a boyfriend,â Lu Tingxiao said without skipping a beat.
Ning Xiâs eyes shone when she heard his suggestion. âRight! Thatâs a pretty good reason!â
Lu Jingli, who was driving, heard this and mumbled, âHaha, right, your boss doesnât allow you to date. He will only allow you to date with the boss himselfâ¦â
âGrandfather, I only want to perform well in my job right now. Besides, Iâm in the growing phase of my career and our company wonât allow me to date!â
The elder was angry when he heard this. âWhat? Not allowed to date? Why would there be such a company with such a silly rule? Does your boss even understand what human rights are?â
Ning Xi shot a look at Lu Tingxiao who had to take the bullet for her. âGrandfather, everyone in our industry is in the same boat. If we have boyfriends, the number of fans will drop drastically. In fact, Iâve just opened up my own studio and will be very busy every day. Next month, I will start promoting my new show and Iâll have to run around the country. Then, once Iâm done with that, Iâll start shooting for a new show. I really donât have the time!â
Ning Zhiyuan had wanted to mention her joining the company, but from the way she lay everything out, he knew there wasnât a possibility. Even though he felt regretful, hearing how his beloved granddaughter had her own successful career today and was living life to the fullest made him feel very happy.
âThen, whatâs going to happen to my great grandchildren? When can I have some?â
When she heard the elderâs sad sigh, Ning Xi touched the little bunâs head and sighed internally too.
If only the little bun was my son, that would be great. Everything would be resolved.
âGrandfather, what if I got a test tube baby?â
Lu Tingxiao and Lu Jingli were stupified.
Little Treasure was surprised too, although he wondered to himself, âWhatâs a test tube baby?â
