Chi Jiao held Quan Jue’s hand and interlocked her fingers with his. She smiled sweetly. “Grandpa, let me introduce you to Quan Jue. He’s my boyfriend.”

After Chi Jiao introduced him to the most important person in her life as her boyfriend, Quan Jue couldn’t help but smile. He held her little hand tightly and gave Ou Zhenglin a gentle smile. “Hello, Grandpa. I’m Quan Jue.”

“Mm, you look quite energetic.” Ou Zhenglin pondered for a moment before looking at Chi Jiao. “Jiaojiao, your grandmother knew that you were coming back today and has already prepared your favorite snacks. She’s been waiting for you. Go find your grandmother first and let Quan Jue stay behind to talk to me.”

Chi Jiao looked at Quan Jue.

He nodded in return. “Go on.”

“Okay, then I’ll come to find you two later.” After Chi Jiao said that, she ran happily towards the room her grandmother was in.

When Ou Zhenglin saw her acting impetuously, he was worried that she would fall. Just as he was about to remind her, Quan Jue beat him to it.

“Jiaojiao, don’t run amok. Walk slowly.” Quan Jue saw that Chi Jiao stopped running instantly and walked obediently towards the backyard before finally retracting his gaze in satisfaction.

When Quan Jue turned around, he saw Ou Zhenglin looking at him meaningfully.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Grandpa?” he asked in confusion.

“It’s nothing. Come and sit down. Old Chen, serve us some tea.” After saying that, Ou Zhenglin sat down at the stone table beside them.

Quan Jue sat opposite him.

Chen Yi went forward and poured tea for the two of them. He took the initiative to step back and distanced himself from them, ensuring that he couldn’t hear their conversation.

“Quan Jue, there are some things I have to tell you about my Jiaojiao.” Ou Zhenglin took a sip of tea and went straight to the point. “Jiaojiao may have grown up in such remote mountains and forests, but she’s young, and she’s lively and sensible. My wife, her senior brothers and sisters, and I all love her. She grew up being spoiled, so she inevitably has a little temper. She has never suffered at all since she was young, and we can’t bear to let her feel that way either. Now that Jiaojiao has grown up, I don’t object to her chasing after her happiness. It’s just that this child is my heart. I can’t stop worrying about her. Therefore, I have to warn you about something.”

Quan Jue’s attitude was gentle as he nodded humbly. “Yes, Grandpa, please feel free to say it.”

“Since you’ve chosen to be together with Jiaojiao, you can’t change your mind anymore. That child may look delicate and playful, but in reality, she values feelings more than anyone else. Since you’ve chosen her, you have to promise to love her forever and not let her suffer any grievances. Do you have such determination?” Ou Zhenglin asked as he stared at him with a deep gaze.

If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely be trembling in fear at Ou Zhenglin’s sharp gaze.

However, Quan Jue wasn’t afraid at all. He nodded and said, “If I didn’t have such determination, I wouldn’t have chosen to accompany Jiaojiao up the mountains.”

“Hahaha, you sure are brave, kid. Not bad, not bad.” Ou Zhenglin liked bold people, especially Quan Jue, who had deep emotions hidden in his eyes. He wouldn’t be wrong about him.

“Thank you for the praise, Grandpa.” Quan Jue could also tell that Ou Zhenglin really doted on Chi Jiao, so his attitude was naturally even more respectful.

“Quan Jue, since Jiaojiao isn’t back yet, and we have nothing to do, why don’t we find something to do? Do you know how to play chess?” Ou Zhenglin asked.

“A little,” Quan Jue said with a faint smile.
