Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Qin Jia Starts Acting Up Again (3)

But seriousness aside, the festivities couldn’t be delayed. After exchanging pleasantries with the elders who had come to the banquet, An Yiqing seized the right moment and slowly made her way over.

"Grandpa, Grandma! Maternal Grandpa and Grandma! Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Duan!" An Yiqing called out to each of the elders present one by one, her sweet and well-behaved voice endearing her to everyone.

As soon as Old Master An saw his treasured granddaughter come over, he quickly grabbed her hand and said with a beaming smile, "Niuniu, come, let Grandpa introduce you." He then led An Yiqing to Old Master Bai and said kindly, "This is your Grandpa Bai, the Family Head of the Xuandu City Bai Family."

The Family Head of the Bai Family? Wasn’t that Bai Yiming’s grandfather?

A stream of information about Old Master Bai flashed through An Yiqing’s mind, and she laughed softly, curtsying slightly: "Grandpa Bai, hello."

The girl’s polite manners brought a broad smile to Old Master Bai’s face. He had only one granddaughter who had gone abroad early on, and at home, he had only Bai Yiming, that annoying boy who vexed him daily. So seeing the sensible and well-behaved An Yiqing, Old Master Bai was delighted beyond measure, his old face blooming into a chrysanthemum with his smile.

"Xiao Qing ah! Grandpa Bai has long heard about you from that brat Yi Ming, but never got the chance to meet you! Oh, your grandpa really knows how to hide, not letting us old folks see such a blooming and beautiful granddaughter!" While Old Master Bai was saying this cheerily, he rummaged through all the pockets on his person, "It’s the first time Grandpa Bai is meeting you, and I don’t know what you like. But a meeting gift, that’s a must!"

As he said this, Old Master Bai rummaged for quite a while, only to realize that he had changed his clothes when leaving the house that day and hadn’t brought even a single coin with him!

Now his old face couldn’t quite maintain its composure, and An Yiqing, seeing this, quickly stepped forward, affectionately took Old Master Bai’s arm, and said with a sweet voice: "Grandpa Bai, I just heard from Grandpa that you have already given a gift, and Xiao Qing sneakily glanced it earlier, your gift is simply too precious. This meeting gift, I really can’t accept anymore! Grandpa Bai, don’t worry, I have received your kind gesture!"

An Yiqing’s words not only gave Old Master Bai a way out, but they also placed a high hat on his head.

During the banquet, the guests’ gifts were all to be opened later at home, and An Yiqing’s mention of having sneakily glanced was just a ruse. However, everyone present was savvy and well aware that An Yiqing was finding a way for Old Master Bai to save face. The girl’s intricate thoughtfulness silently earned her the elders’ praise, as they gave her a thumbs up in their hearts.

Standing to the side, Bai Yiming had been quietly watching the girl help his grandfather out of the awkward situation, watching her delightful and radiant little face, his heart couldn’t help but warm.

"Grandpa, don’t worry. The meeting gift for Xiao Qing, give it to me another day, and I will deliver it for you," Bai Yiming took a couple of steps forward and stood next to An Yiqing on Old Master Bai’s side.

How could Old Master Bai, cunning as an old fox, fail to see his grandson’s intentions? He laughed heartily and nodded, "That’s right! Xiao Qing, I will definitely make up for the meeting gift another day. I’ll have this brat bring it to you! If you don’t accept it, Grandpa Bai won’t let this boy come home!"

An Yiqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Old Master Bai acting like a child, but she nodded with a smile, going along with the old man’s wishes.

Watching the girl agree made Old Master Bai grin from ear to ear. He looked at Bai Yiming and An Yiqing standing next to him, feeling that the more he looked, the better matched they seemed, the more he liked them. Looking at An Yiqing, he even felt the fondness one would for a granddaughter-in-law.
