Chapter 1079: Shanshan Side Story (6) Chapter 1079: Shanshan Side Story (6) Seventeen and Nineteen slapped their hands together, âYay.â
âYouâre all grown up now, yet not the slightest bit stable.â
The comment came from their dear grandfather, and Quan Mingxuan wisely kept silent.
âSnowball, letâs go, weâre going to have fun outside.â Shanshan finished her petit cake, patted her little hands, then hopped down from Granny Quanâs lap.
âAwoooââ
Snowball howled and happily followed her out.
âAxuan, you need to hurry up too. Shanshan is already so big; itâs time you thought about settling down with someone.â Granny Quan watched Shanshanâs retreating back, her face beaming with kindness, then turned to look at Quan Mingxuan with a âspare the rod, spoil the childâ expression.
âNow that your big brother is engaged, youâre the only one left.â
The truth is, over a year ago, Quan Yimo had found the person he wanted to spend his life with, and it was all thanks to Quan Mingxuan. Quan Yimo had taken a break from the troops and come home, and Quan Mingxuan had dragged him to an art exhibition. There, he met his destined partner, a girl who was an artist with a considerable reputation and from an aristocratic family of scholars. Quan Yimo took a liking to her immediately and, true to his decisive nature, launched his assault and won her over. They had just gotten engaged recently, and now the old Master Quan and others were picking a date, with the wedding not far off.
Quan Mingxuan grabbed a cushion and covered his face, âGranny, I know, youâve got great-grandchildren already, so please lay off me for a while. When it comes to fate, whatâs meant to be will always find a way.â
Granny Quan smacked his thigh firmly, âIf you donât find a girlfriend within three months, your mom and I will start arranging blind dates for you. Consider yourself warned.â
âHelp me!â Quan Mingxuan wailed.
If only I had known, I wouldnât have come back today.
A man being rushed to marry canât bear such pressure.
Shanshan claimed she was going to play outside with Snowball but headed straight to the courtyard.
Not too far away was the gate.
Shanshan laid on Snowballâs back, supporting her cheek with one hand.
Why is Mu Chen still not here?
After a while, instead of bringing Mu Chen with her wishes, she ended up summoning her little friend Bai Feizhan.
âShanshan.â
Bai Feizhan, with sharp eyes, spotted Shanshan under the tree shade and excitedly ran over.
âShanshan, are you here waiting for me?â
Shanshan was a bit down, but she still smiled, âAzhan, little brother.â
âIâve told you not to call me âlittle brother.â Just call me Azhan.â young Bai Feizhan insisted frantically, as âlittle brotherâ sounded too weak.
âUncle Jue, Aunt Mingyan.â Shanshan said softly.
Zhan Mingyan patted her little head and then handed a gift to Bai Feizhan, âFeizhan, give this present to Shanshan.â
The young Bai Feizhan, holding a gift box nearly his size, said with a grin, âShanshan, this is a gift I picked for you. Happy Birthday.â
âThank you.â Shanshan beamed, stretching out her arms for a hug.
One hug made the little friend Bai Feizhan smile so much his eyes disappeared.
âShanshan, let me carry it inside for you.â
Shanshan nodded, glanced at the direction of the gate, and then went inside with them.
âWow, your whole family is quite early.â Jian Qing teased upon seeing Bai Jueâs family arrive.
âEarly? Do you have any idea this little brat woke us up before dawn just to pick an outfit, which took almost an hour?â Bai Jue complained unapologetically about his son.
Having a son is truly a way to settle old scores.
Everyone laughed, looking at Bai Feizhan whispering to Shanshan with a helplessly amused expression on their faces.
âShanshan, do you have any birthday wishes?â Bai Feizhan asked, curious.
Shanshanâs eyes curved as she nodded, âYeah.â
âWhat is it?â Bai Feizhan pressed, and the others were also curious.
Little Miss Shanshan pursed her lips, âI wonât tell you. Birthday wishes wonât come true if you say them out loud.â
Bai Feizhan suddenly remembered the last time he made a birthday wish, he blurted it all out, and couldnât help but feel slightly depressed.
