Tickled by her playful words, Quan Jingwu the dull spark in his eyes blazed, and he gently pecked her lips.
Jian Qing’s eyes widened and looked hurriedly at Grandpa Jian and the others. Realizing they hadn’t noticed, she sighed in relief.
“Behave!” she scolded him softly, lowering her voice.
Quan Jingwu remained impassive, eyes lighting up with smug amusement.
“So much wine!” Jian Luo’s surprised voice rang out.
A whole suitcase, filled with sealed bottles of wine.
Grandpa Jian’s face lit up with delight, eyes glowing at the sight before him.
Good, very good. These gifts were straight to his heart.
“CEO Quan, Grandpa Jian should step away from the alcohol in recent days,” Bai Jue said to Quan Jingwu, directly pouring cold water on him.
Jian Qing hadn’t asked what Quan Jingwu had prepared, thus she was also slightly taken aback by the suitcase full of wine.
“Don’t worry, these are medicinal and fruit wines developed by Fu Heng. Drinking a little is beneficial for the health,” Quan Jingwu patted her head and explained casually.
His voice was just loud enough for Jian Luo and the others to hear, turning the tables on Bai Jue, who briefly looked displeased.
It looked like dishing up some hot dirt on Quan Jingwu was going to be a bit tricky.
He clearly came prepared!
Jian Qing smirked, aware of Fu Heng’s talent.
The happiest person here must be Grandpa Jian. If there weren’t so many people present, he probably would have opened a bottle on the spot.
He turned and looked at Quan Jingwu with approving eyes, his respect for him growing just a little bit.
This son-in-law was considerate and planned everything so well. He scored points!
Jian Qing saw the hint of laughter in grandpa’s face and shook her head with a soft chuckle.
It seemed Jingwu’s calculated gifting had figured out the way to her grandpa’s heart.
While they were talking, Jian Luo had already opened the second suitcase filled with jade chessboards and precious rare tea leaves. Every single item was something Grandpa Jian loved.
Jian Luo noticed the unrestrained smile on her grandfather’s face, and couldn’t help but curse Quan Jingwu for his cunning tactics.
Trying to win over her grandfather’s favor with these gifts was so underhanded.
Blackjack and Bai Jue exchanged glances; they had the same thought as Jian Luo- he was indeed prepared!
“Grandpa!” Jian Luo reminded him.
That excessive smile had to be reined in!
Realising he had let his excitement show, Grandpa Jian quickly repressed his grin and lightly coughed, “Qingqing, since it’s Jingwu’s first visit, why don’t you show him around our house?”
Just like that, the sweet rewards had his address for Jingwu skyrocketing.
“…”
All three stared at Grandpa Jian, could he be any more dignified?
Amusement flashed in Jian Qing’s eyes as she nodded.
“Jingwu, let’s take a walk.”
Quan Jingwu exchanged greetings with Grandpa Jian before the two of them set off arm-in-arm.
Watching them leave, Grandpa Jian turned to Jian Luo and the others, “Move these two suitcases to my study. I’ll meet you all up there.”
With that, he quickly headed upstairs, not at all appearing as a man recovering from a major illness.
Jian Luo twitched a corner of her mouth; was this the same grandpa she knew?
“Jian Luo, it seems that your future brother-in-law is quite good at winning people over,” Bai Jue teased with a twinkle in his eye.
Jian Luo shot him a glance and replied, “I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Thanks.”
Blackjack lifted one of the suitcases and kicked Bai Jue, “Hurry up, there’s another one.”
“Why should I be the one carrying them?” Bai Jue laughed it off, “Why not let Jian Luo carry it, it’s from his future brother-in-law after all.”
“I can’t carry it,” Jian Luo directly conceded, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed.
Without replying, Blackjack thrust the suitcase into Bai Jue’s arms, before hauling another up the stairs.
Jian Luo followed Black Jack, leaving Bai Jue looking at the suitcase in his hand, feeling a taste of bitterness.
They always picked on him. Those two, shameless!
Out in the courtyard
The soft light flickered, casting two shadows on the ground.
“Jingwu, it seems my grandfather really likes you a lot,” Jian Qing stopped and turned to face him.
Quan Jingwu chuckled low and encircled her in his arms, holding her from behind.
“My sweetheart, you should trust in my charm.”
His brash words, tinted with a touch of laughter, flowed from his charming lips.
Jian Qing glared at him before eventually giving in, “Stop bragging!”
She knew her grandfather’s temper well. If Jingwu thought that a few sweet bribes would buy her grandfather’s affection, she was sure some countermeasures were coming.
While they were joking around, Jian Luo called, saying she would be waiting for them in the living room.
Returning to the living room, Grandpa Jian was nowhere to be seen.
“Luoluo, where’s grandpa?” Jian Qing asked.
Jian Luo glanced at Quan Jingwu and replied, “He’s in the study, wanting to have a talk with ‘someone.'”
Without spelling it out explicitly, everyone knew who ‘someone’ referred to.
“Let’s go,” Jian Qing said, pulling Quan Jingwu towards the stairs.
“Wait, sister, grandpa said he wanted Jingwu to go alone,” Jian Luo reminded.
Jian Qing retorted, “Jingwu doesn’t know the way.”
After speaking, the two departed into the stairwell.
“I can’t believe your sister gave that bracelet to Quan Jingwu,” Bai Jue commented. Still reeling from dinner, he and Blackjack had noticed Quan Jingwu was wearing the bracelet.
That bracelet was more than just a piece of jewelry; it held a lot of significance.
Jian Luo shrugged, “I didn’t expect it either. I was quite shocked when I first saw it. I guess grandpa saw it too.”
The bracelet was one of a kind worldwide, and its special material couldn’t be replicated by anyone else. Besides being a symbol of her standing, it also granted access to the Jian Family Headquarters.
Jian Luo wasn’t wrong in her guess, Grandpa Jian had indeed noticed. Back in the study, Butler Qin saw a mix of relief and worry on his face.
“Sir, Miss Jian has found her happiness. That brings us joy,” Butler Qin soothed.
Although they were in M country, rumors about Quan Jingwu had reached their ears. After all, tonight’s meeting proved that his reputation was well-deserved.
Merely his aura alone was enough to leave people in admiration, inspiring a sense of submission. In him, Qin saw a reflection of the young miss.
