Nangong Quan sent someone to follow Elder Nangong and Little Eggshell. But, of course, the old man knew this.
Although he was a little disappointed, he understood that Nangong Quan loved his daughter.
Soon, the great-grandfather and great-granddaughter arrived at the school gates. As the old man timed it perfectly, they ran into the Mo Twins as soon as they arrived.
Little Eggshell happily dragged her great-grandfather forward, "Great-grandfather, look, they're over there!"
Mo Zixi heard Little Eggshell's voice and happily turned to find her dragging an old man towards him. Meanwhile, Mo Zichen remained in place, not making a move.
"Kevin, look, I brought my great-grandfather here!" Little Eggshell said happily as she pointed to the old man.
Mo Zixi glanced at the old man and politely said, "Hello, great-grandfather."
It was no surprise that Little Eggshell was so obsessed with the two brothers. Just based on their resemblance to Mo Ting alone, the old man could tell that they were popular with the girls.
"Hello, little one!"
"Great-grandfather, you can leave me here. I'm going to head in with the brothers!" Little Eggshell said to the old man before she naturally grabbed onto Mo Zixi's hand.
"OK, then I'm going to go!"
Elder Nangong looked at their two little clasped hands and sneered. If not for what happened all those years ago, he may have actually selected one of the Mo brothers to be his future great-grandson-in-law. Unfortunately...
...he still had revenge to seek and couldn't let his great-granddaughter get too involved with the twins.
Besides, his great-granddaughter deserved much better...
However, Elder Nangong had no idea that an odd pair of eyes were watching over him the entire time...
Mo Zichen had always kept his distance and never approached Little Eggshell first. He spoke to her, here and there, but he always knew where to draw the line.
It seemed, he understood what it meant to be enemies, and after overhearing his parents talking on multiple occasions, he understood that Elder Nangong was one of them!
As a result, he was often indifferent towards Little Eggshell, but then again, he was like that with everyone!
Because of this, Mo Zixi asked his younger brother in private, "Zichen, do you not like Little Eggshell?"
"No, I don't dislike her," Mo Zichen replied in a dull tone.
Mo Zixi knew his brother was always like this, so he did not think too much of it.
Only Mo Zichen knew how cautious he himself felt towards the old man...
"How did it go today?" Su Youran immediately called Nangong Quan as soon as she saw Elder Nangong return home. "Did he do anything to hurt the Mo Twins?"
"No, he was surprisingly friendly..." Nangong Quan replied.
"Isn't that great, then?"
"No, this is exactly what's so weird about the situation. I understand my grandfather. He couldn't possibly have no reaction after seeing how close Little Eggshell is to the twins," Nangong Quan explained.
"Luckily, it's just a one time thing. Grandfather simply took Little Eggshell to school today because he was in the mood to do it..."
When Su Youran thought about how Elder Nangong took Little Eggshell to school, her heart raced in fear.
