374: As for when to get married, he'll listen to what Niannian says.
Xiao Niannian's lips curved slightly as she listened to their words.
Lu Jing was still a bit nervous speaking in front of her, but extremely confident in front of his Older Brothers.
“Niannian, you and Kid Lu…”
Grandma Gu looked at her Granddaughter and asked about the situation.
“He’s pursuing me, but I haven’t agreed yet.”
Xiao Niannian replied with a smile.
Hearing his Granddaughter's words, Grandpa Gu's heart rejoiced.
Grandma Gu also smiled upon hearing this.
“Precious, you’re doing the right thing, don’t agree to him now. Your main priorities are your studies and career; consider dating in a few years…”
Grandpa Gu said happily.
Their Granddaughter had just returned; they didn't want that brat Lu Jing to sweet-talk her away just yet.
Grandma Gu glanced at her old partner and said,
“Niannian, it’s right to observe more, but Grandma thinks Xiao Jing is a good child…”
Hearing Grandma say this, Xiao Niannian nodded.
“Grandma, my Grandma also said the same thing.”
What?
Grandpa Gu's eyes widened. Sister-in-law Xiao said that too? His old partner said that too? Wouldn't his Granddaughter be even more tempted then?
No, no, no, he absolutely couldn't let his Granddaughter be coaxed away by Lu Jing now.
“Grandparents, I know what I’m doing, you don’t have to worry…”
Hearing his Granddaughter say this, Grandpa Gu was about to say a few more words, but his old partner pulled his clothes, and Grandpa Gu swallowed his words.
“It’s too hot, Grandma will get you an ice pop.”
Grandma Gu said with a beaming smile.
“Okay.”
After Xiao Niannian had eaten her ice pop for a while, she saw her Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Lu Jing walk in. Her Eldest Brother and Second Brother walked in front, with Lu Jing following behind.
“Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, Niannian.”
Hearing Lu Jing greet them, Grandpa Gu grunted and said,
“Come play chess with me.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Grandpa play chess with Lu Jing, Xiao Niannian and her Older Brothers all went to stand nearby.
“You brothers step back a bit, it’s so hot, stay away from me.” Grandpa Gu said with disdain.
“Niannian, come over to Grandpa’s side.”
Gu Yuan and Gu Jin were somewhat dumbfounded.
They were now just foxtails, while their Younger Sister was the treasure.
But they wouldn't be jealous.
Xiao Niannian watched Grandpa and Lu Jing play chess. The few times she had returned, she had also played chess with Grandpa a few times. Grandpa's chess skills were decent, but sometimes he would take back moves. Not just Grandpa, but when Grandpa played chess with the other grandpas in the Compound, those grandpas would also take back moves.
Occasionally, she could even hear them arguing.
Xiao Niannian hadn't seen Lu Jing's chess skills, but she had heard other Grandparents say that Lu Jing played chess well.
Watching the pieces on the board dwindle, and Grandpa's chariot and cannon had both been captured.
“I’ve captured your chariot.”
Grandpa Gu smiled, extremely pleased.
Lu Jing now only had one cannon, one chariot, and two horses left.
While Grandpa Gu still had one chariot, one cannon, and one horse in front of him.
After a while, Grandpa Gu happily moved his chariot over and loudly declared,
“Check!”
Grandpa Gu was overjoyed, and his gaze towards Lu Jing was also a little gentler than usual.
Lu Jing looked up at Niannian, then smiled and moved his general away. Grandpa Gu pursued him again.
“Check again!”
After a few more moves, Grandpa Gu captured Lu Jing’s elephant, and this time, Lu Jing had nowhere to escape.
“Checkmate!”
“Grandpa Gu, you won.”
Hearing Lu Jing surrender, Grandpa Gu burst into loud laughter.
“Hahahaha.”
Grandpa Gu found Lu Jing extremely pleasing to the eye at this moment.
“Kid Lu, your chess skills are pretty good.”
Grandpa Gu praised Lu Jing.
Gu Yuan and Gu Jin's gazes towards Lu Jing became even more displeased. There were clearly several opportunities to win against their Grandpa, but Old Lu deliberately went easy, making Grandpa so happy.
“Grandpa, let Gu Yuan play a round with you.”
Lu Jing got up and gave his seat to Gu Yuan.
“Alright.”
Grandpa Gu had won against Lu Jing and was in a good mood, so he decided to play a few more rounds with his Grandchildren.
Xiao Niannian watched Lu Jing with a smile in her eyes.
She had seen all of Lu Jing’s actions just now.
She knew Lu Jing did this to make Grandpa happy.
Not just Lu Jing, but Eldest Brother and Second Brother would also do the same later.
“Xiao Jing, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Jin.”
Grandma Gu gave them ice pops.
“Thank you, Grandma Gu.”
Lu Jing had dinner at the Gu Family before returning to the Lu Family.
“Grandparents.”
Grandpa Lu looked at Lu Jing and snorted coldly.
Grandma Lu heard the cold snort, glanced at her old partner, then looked at Lu Jing and said with a smile,
“Xiao Jing, you’re back. Your Grandpa heard from people in the Compound this morning that you went to the Shen Family after you returned.”
“Yes, I went to the Shen Family first, then the Gu Family in the afternoon.”
Hearing her Grandson's words, Grandma Lu's smile grew wider.
“I heard the Gu Family’s Grandchildren have all returned. I heard Niannian is your Comrade-in-arms. When will you invite her to eat at the Lu Family?”
Hearing his Grandparents’ words, Lu Jing directly said,
“Grandparents, it’s not the right time yet. I’m still pursuing Niannian; she hasn’t agreed.”
Hearing this, Grandpa Lu laughed, looking at his Eldest Grandson with some disdain.
“Grandma didn’t say to invite Niannian as a girlfriend. Your Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, and your Grandparents, have been Comrades-in-arms for forty or fifty years. Just like the Shen Family, invite them to dinner.”
Grandpa Lu also said,
“Grandparents will go to the Gu Family in a bit. We absolutely cannot let Niannian, this Granddaughter-in-law, be snatched away by another family…”
Lu Jing understood how anxious his Grandparents were about his marriage when he heard their words.
Before, he would directly refuse his Grandparents when they talked about blind dates. In recent years, he had been in the Special Forces, and didn't have much time to come home each year.
Now that he had revealed his feelings, his Grandparents were naturally full of anticipation.
But he would also stick to his decision.
Niannian was still young this year. After graduation, she went to the Special Forces Brigade, and they spent a lot of time together. Whenever Niannian agreed to date him, that's when it would happen.
As for when to get married, he would listen to Niannian.
That's right, Comrade Lu Jing was already thinking about marriage.
“Xiao Jing, don’t worry, Grandparents know what they’re doing…”
Grandma Lu looked at her Eldest Grandson and said with a chuckle.
Thinking back to a few years ago when she and Sister-in-law Gu talked about an arranged marriage, then the Gu Family Eldest Son had two sons, and her family also had only Grandsons. Later, she heard that the Gu Family Eldest Son's Wife was pregnant, and they also hoped it would be a girl.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
For all these years, Gu Family Eldest Son had been searching.
What was even more unexpected was that Gu Family Eldest Son actually found his daughter.
She had also quietly asked Sister-in-law Gu about this matter. Sister-in-law Gu said that it was confirmed to be their biological Granddaughter, born to Gu Family Eldest Son and Eldest Sons Wife… Heaven bless, it was truly wonderful.
She never expected Niannian to be so outstanding.
