Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother
Chapter 132: Disgraceful

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Disgraceful

"Your mouth, apart from sweet-talking girls, has now learned to sweet-talk your grandma!" The Bao family’s old lady’s mood lightened considerably after hearing Bao Cheng’s words.

Besides, Bao Cheng was also giving her a way to step down gracefully.

The old lady’s most cherished eldest grandson visiting her, she couldn’t possibly maintain a sour face all the time!

The tense atmosphere eased a bit with Bao Cheng’s jovial banter, allowing the three of them to chat without incident, even though Bao Shaojin mostly sat quietly, occasionally lifting his teacup for a casual sip.

The old lady’s eyes landed on Bao Shaojin, who was sitting afar, yet her words were directed towards Bao Cheng beside her.

"Tell me about your new girlfriend." The old lady’s dark eyes seemed to inadvertently survey the room, but only she knew what she was actually verifying.

In the distance, Bao Shaojin’s grip on the teacup tightened slightly. His face remained calm, as though the topic had nothing to do with him. His plain face revealed no emotion, leaving others unable to discern his feelings.

After all, he was her grandson, raised closely by her side. The old lady knew he was skilled at masking emotions. She never expected that the self-control she was so proud of would now make his thoughts an enigma even to her!

"Haha, when did Grandma become so gossip-loving?" Bao Cheng laughed, but the tenderness in his eyes betrayed his thoughts.

"What is it, can’t talk about it? Or is she someone who can’t be seen?" The old lady’s voice rose, inexplicably exerting pressure.

In truth, the old lady had always held a non-interfering stance towards Bao Cheng’s girlfriends. Given the Bao family’s status, suitable marriage partners would naturally emerge when the time came. As long as Bao Cheng didn’t overindulge before marriage, the elders wouldn’t intervene much.

As long as he settles down when the time arrives, they have no issue.

"Of course not!" Bao Cheng denied vigorously, "My girlfriend is quite beautiful, after all, my brother has met her."

After speaking, Bao Cheng wore a smug expression, though he instantly realized a problem. He abruptly turned his head to hide his guilty conscience.

After all, the ’girlfriend’ in his mind and the ’girlfriend’ in his cousin’s eyes weren’t the same person!

"Is that so?" The old lady turned her head to glance at her distant grandson, "Shaojin, do you think Cheng’s girlfriend is pretty?"

Bao Cheng hadn’t expected his grandma to suddenly throw this topic to his cousin, feeling his heart skip a beat. He stopped massaging the old lady’s arm.

Bao Shaojin’s dark eyes slowly lifted to meet the old lady’s gaze, stating assertively, "She looks alright." The old lady’s seemingly casual inquiry was, in fact, subtly nudging him, as Bao Shaojin was fully aware.

"Since Shaojin said so, then..." The old lady purposely paused, diverting her gaze before continuing, "Cheng, find a time to bring the young lady here. I want to see how beautiful she is to have captivated my grandsons so." The old lady heavily emphasized the word "grandsons."

In the distance, Bao Shaojin remained immovable, resembling a steadfast pine tree, his expression indifferent!

"Grandma, really?" Bao Cheng was anxious when confronted with the shocking order from the elder.

If not for An Yin pretending to be his girlfriend, Bao Cheng would be happy to bring Jiang Keke to meet the elder. However, with the old lady’s command, he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place!

If he brings his girlfriend to the Bao Mansion, it means he must bring An Yin along!

Bao Cheng’s face revealed his difficulty, which the old lady noticed. She complained, "Afraid I’d eat her up?"

Bao Cheng put on a worried expression, hesitantly saying, "She’s still in school, meeting the family might stress her out." Bao Cheng racked his brain to come up with this answer.

"Knowing she’s still studying, yet you bother her." The old lady’s words carried a trace of reproach.

"It’s because... I like her!" Bao Cheng lowered his head, sincerely admitting his mistake. He’s used to the elder’s scolding by now.

Just as Bao Cheng finished speaking, Bao Shaojin’s eyes dimmed, his brows slightly furrowed, hinting at a shadow crossing them.

"You!" The old lady sighed, somewhat looking at her grandchild several meters away, resolutely stating, "Once I get a bit better, have someone notify you, and remember to bring your girlfriend for me to see!"

When the old lady repeats something, it means the matter is set in stone, indicating her firm desire to meet his girlfriend. Bao Cheng found it baffling. Previously, he’d had girlfriends without much of a peep from the elder, let alone any meeting. Her eagerness to meet his girlfriend now felt odd to him! But he couldn’t figure out what was peculiar about it.

Thinking about having to bring An Yin over, Bao Cheng felt he needed to prepare. He cautiously said, "Grandma, my girlfriend is very timid, so please go easy on her." Bao Cheng carefully coaxed the elder.

"I haven’t even seen her, and you’re already protecting her?" The old lady’s eyes turned cold briefly, before quickly concealing her hidden sharpness.

"Hehe, the young girl is new here, just worried you might be too stern." Bao Cheng smiled, explaining.

The cheerful chat between the old lady and Bao Cheng continued.

The tea beside Bao Shaojin was all but finished, his dark pupils flickered with an undetectable chill.

That remark of Bao Cheng’s about his ’girlfriend being very timid’ was quite spot-on! He thought about how the young girl usually lowered her head around him, as though he was a monstrous beast, terrifying her with just a meeting, if she were really to visit the Bao family’s elder...

The reason the elder wants to meet Bao Cheng’s girlfriend, Bao Shaojin had some guesses.

A few minutes later, Bao Shaojin stood up, informing the old lady of his departure.

Having always held Bao Shaojin in awe, Bao Cheng, unusually, hastily followed behind him as they left the elder’s room, continuously calling, "Brother, wait for me, let me catch a ride..."

Bao Shaojin’s pace didn’t slow a bit at Bao Cheng’s shouting, his brow furrowing even deeper.

The two tall figures moved through the mansion’s courtyard, one behind the other. Bao Cheng slightly lifted his head to glance at his cousin’s back. Despite the meters between them, the man ahead emanated a commanding aura that instilled fear by merely standing beside him!
