Chapter 204 A family of four, living happily together.
"Grandpa!" Chu Xinglan ran towards Grandpa Ming.
"Lanlan, be careful."
Grandpa Ming was extremely worried, fearing that something might happen to her.
"It's alright, Grandpa." Chu Xinglan stood smiling in front of Grandpa Ming.
She took the reins from Uncle Ma and helped Old Master Ming up herself.
"The young lady looks better and better," Uncle Ma praised.
"This is all thanks to Gu Ye," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
"Indeed!" Gu Ye said with a smile.
Chu Xinglan suddenly sensed the hidden meaning in his words, and her cheeks flushed slightly with embarrassment.
"Grandpa." After teasing Chu Xinglan, Gu Ye greeted Grandpa Ming.
"Gu Ye, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Ever since the Ming family was handed over to you, their business has improved by leaps and bounds."
Grandpa Ming gave Gu Ye a thumbs up.
So these two business leaders began to talk fluently about business matters.
Chu Xinglan couldn't understand, so she could only follow them, her eyes glancing at the surrounding scenery.
"Lanlan, are you feeling a little bored?" Gu Ye quickly noticed Chu Xinglan's absent-mindedness and stopped the conversation.
Grandpa Ming also realized what was happening.
"Look at me, this is a family dinner, we won't talk about business."
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me," Chu Xinglan said hurriedly.
"Grandpa, I'll talk to you in detail when I have time." Gu Ye didn't want Chu Xinglan to feel neglected, so he stopped talking about business in front of her.
During the meal, Old Master Ming looked at Chu Xinglan's belly with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Gu Ye, Lanlan's belly is several months pregnant, but it doesn't look any different. Has she gone to the hospital for a checkup?"
Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye couldn't help but exchange glances.
"Grandpa, I'm telling you the truth."
Chu Xinglan told him about her and Gu Ye's identities as reborn individuals.
When Grandpa Ming heard about Chu Xinglan's ordeal, he felt heartbroken.
"Child, I never imagined you had suffered so much."
Grandpa Ming excitedly grabbed Chu Xinglan's hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Grandpa, all of that is in the past. Fortunately, Gu Ye has always been with me. In this second life, the suffering I endured in my previous life has been compensated for."
Chu Xinglan nestled happily in Gu Ye's arms.
Grandpa Ming wiped away his tears and looked deeply at Gu Ye: "Gu Ye, thank you. Fortunately, you are so devoted to Lanlan and never abandoned her. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would never have been able to recognize my granddaughter in this lifetime."
"Grandpa, the Ming family has been kind to me, so there's no need for thanks. Besides, Lanlan is my dearest. Even if she weren't a member of the Ming family, I would protect her for the rest of my life."
Gu Ye put his arm around Chu Xinglan's waist and held her tightly in his arms.
"Alright, Grandpa, let's not talk about such unpleasant things today." Chu Xinglan smiled.
"You said my great-granddaughter is right here among us, is that true?"
Old Master Ming asked again, puzzled.
"Yes."
Chu Xinglan pulled the baby to Grandpa Ming's side and bent down to say to the baby, "Baby, quickly call him Great-Grandpa."
"Great-Grandpa," the little baby called out affectionately in a soft, sweet voice, then floated over to Grandpa Ming and gave him a quick kiss on his wrinkled forehead.
“The baby kissed you,” Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
"Really, I can feel it, my dear great-grandson." Grandpa Ming smiled so much that the wrinkles on his head deepened.
Gu Ye suddenly felt a little jealous. His own daughter had never kissed him. It was a pity that he couldn't see her and it was hard for him to imagine her cute and cuddly appearance.
"They say daughters are their fathers' little cotton-padded jackets, but it seems this is a case of grandparents favoring grandchildren, and fathers aren't popular anymore," Gu Ye said deliberately with a hint of sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, the little baby quickly floated to Gu Ye's side and kissed him on the cheek in the same way.
Chu Xinglan laughed so hard she bent over backwards.
Gu Ye and his daughter were of one mind. Before Chu Xinglan could explain, he felt a kiss on his cheek.
"That's more like it," Gu Ye said arrogantly.
Grandpa Ming looked at the happy family of three, and although his great-granddaughter was blind, he was very gratified.
"Have you named your great-granddaughter yet?"
Chu Xinglan and Gu Ye exchanged glances again; they hadn't thought of this yet.
"Why don't you give her a name, Grandpa?" Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
"How about we name it Mingzhu?" Old Master Ming thought for a moment and then suggested.
“Gu Mingzhu, with both ‘Gu’ and ‘Ming’ in her name, not bad, this name suits her very well,” Gu Ye said with a smile.
Chu Xinglan suddenly looked down and saw the little baby tugging at her sleeve. Chu Xinglan then squatted down.
The little baby whispered something to Chu Xinglan.
Gu Ye and Old Master Ming both looked at Chu Xinglan's actions with curiosity.
Chu Xinglan smiled, stood up and said to them, "Baby said she really likes this name, and she said thank you, Great-Grandpa."
When Grandpa Ming heard what Chu Xinglan said, he couldn't stop smiling.
Uncle Ma had just come in from outside and saw them like this, looking puzzled: "What are you guys up to?"
"This is a secret between our family members," Old Master Ming said, his childlike spirit suddenly rekindling.
"Alright, I won't ask about your family's secret, but Grandpa, it's time for your medicine. I should help you take it," Uncle Ma said with a smile.
"What's wrong with Grandpa?" Chu Xinglan asked with concern.
"It's just a minor ailment. As people get older, their bodily functions naturally decline," Old Master Ming chuckled nonchalantly.
“Miss, the old man is fine. I just had the doctor prescribe some health supplements to protect his daily bodily functions.”
Uncle Ma explained to Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan was relieved to hear what Uncle Ma said.
"Grandpa, you must take good care of your health."
"I'm still in good health, and I want to see my little pearl born." Grandpa Ming said with a smile, "If you really care about your grandpa, just take some time to visit me more often, that's better than any magic pill."
"I come to see you once a day? Isn't that enough?" Gu Ye immediately protected Chu Xinglan, as if someone wanted to share her with him.
"You brat, you're jealous of my old man too? You weren't this petty before." Old Master Ming looked at Gu Ye with a stern face.
“Before, when Lanlan wasn’t around, nothing mattered. Now, Lanlan is everything,” Gu Ye replied without hesitation.
Chu Xinglan was so embarrassed that she punched his chest with her little fists.
"Alright, once a day it is then, I'm not greedy." Old Master Ming said, his face darkening. "You brat, why don't you take your wife and get out of here? Otherwise you'll blame me for taking away your time alone together."
"Alright, then Grandpa and Lanlan will go home first, and we'll come see you again tomorrow."
As Gu Ye spoke, he took Chu Xinglan's arm and left.
"Grandpa..." Chu Xinglan didn't want to leave, but Gu Ye pulled her away.
Grandpa Ming watched the couple leave, smiling broadly.
