Chapter 11 The Worried Look On Your Face
- After the old lady finished speaking, she ignored Lu Tingchen's unchanged icy expression and continued to enthusiastically ask Xia Yanxi, "Dear, please tell Grandma your name, occupation, and who else is in your family?"
- Xia Yanxi forced a smile. This old lady truly saw her as her daughter-in-law.
- Feeling uncertain, she glanced at Lu Tingchen for help.
- Her eyes pleaded with him to intervene, as the incessant questioning might accidentally reveal false information.
- But soon, Grandma blocked her line of sight once again, kindly insisting, "You don't need to pay attention to him. Just be honest with Grandma."
- Xia Yanxi could only look away and politely reply, "Hello Grandma, my name is Xia Yanxi. I am an actress, but Mr. Lu and I have no connection whatsoever. We can't even be considered friends. Please don't read too much into it."
- Although something unexpected had happened between them, it didn't imply a romantic relationship.
- Furthermore, considering her identity and status, how could she deserve him?
- She was well aware of this reality.
- To her surprise, Grandma tightly held her hands and solemnly assured, "Don't worry, Grandma is very open-minded. I don't adhere to those traditional notions of matching backgrounds. So, you don't need to fear my opposition to your union. Besides, he rarely allows any woman to get close to him, yet you are wearing his shirt and standing here. Isn't that clear enough?"
- Xia Yanxi was truly speechless. It seemed she couldn't explain...
- Seeing Xia Yanxi's helplessness, Lu Tingchen finally spoke in a low voice, "Grandma, please don't trouble her any further. She has other matters to attend to. Let her go upstairs and change her clothes first."
- Xia Yanxi eagerly wanted to escape this awkward situation immediately. "Um, Grandma, I apologize, but I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."
- Watching Xia Yanxi quickly go up the stairs, Grandma pouted like a child, "I'm not a man-eating tiger. Look at how worried you are. Why are you in such a hurry to send her away?"
- Lu Tingchen insisted, "Grandma, that's enough."
