Chapter 570: Chapter 569 It Looks Like a Downpour Is Coming

Shen Yi frowned slightly. After all these years, he still disliked rainy days—dreary, drizzling weather always gave one an unpleasant feeling.

He sighed almost imperceptibly and sent a message to Ye Wanwan about the rain outside.

Ye Wanwan replied quickly, "Just got to the restaurant, avoided it perfectly."

"That’s good," Shen Yi said.

Afterward, Ye Wanwan didn’t reply, and Shen Yi didn’t send any more messages to disturb her, yet the rain outside grew heavier, the drops pattering against the car window with a "pit-pat" sound.

Shen Yi became irritable from the noise, and couldn’t help but frown as he looked out the window, then noticed the traffic was moving slowly.

The rush hour, compounded by the sudden rain, had made the roads even more congested.

At the Shen Family’s old house.

Lin Xu personally cooked in the kitchen, preparing a kid’s meal for her little grandson.

At the same time, Zhouzhou was outside playing chess with Shen Yun’an—of course, it was Connect Five.

Over the past year, Shen Yun’an had entirely stepped back from his duties, leaving everything related to Jinghong in Shen Yi’s hands, so now he had plenty of time to play with his grandson.

When the rain started outside, no one in the house noticed at first—it was the servants who saw it and closed the windows upstairs and downstairs.

But the villa had good soundproofing, and a little rain outside was not enough to be heard inside.

However, as time passed, the rain became heavier, even resembling a violent thunderstorm.

"Grandpa wins again!" Shen Yun’an laughed as he picked up the small black pieces.

Zhouzhou really didn’t know how to play and was simply mimicking his grandfather’s moves. Seeing his grandpa laugh, he laughed along.

Lin Xu came out of the kitchen and upon hearing Shen Yun’an’s laughter, couldn’t help but scold, "At your age, can’t you show a little shame? Bullying Zhouzhou again!"

"I’m teaching Zhouzhou how to play!" Shen Yun’an retorted.

Lin Xu didn’t even bother to argue further. She glanced at the torrential rain outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, "It suddenly started raining so heavily outside, should we send a message to check where Shen Yi is?"

Shen Yi had mentioned he would come to pick up Zhouzhou after work, and knowing he would come on his own, Lin Xu specifically told him to come over for dinner.

Shen Yun’an said, "With the rain, it’s bound to be traffic-jammed. He probably won’t arrive so soon."

No sooner had he spoken than a flash of white lightning caught everyone’s attention.

Lin Xu looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, knowing that the white flash was lightning, "Looks like a heavy storm is coming."

"Should’ve gone fishing today—would’ve surely caught a big one!" said Shen Yun’an, with utter seriousness.

Lin Xu rolled her eyes helplessly, not wanting to speak another word to the old man.

"Mmm mmm!" Zhouzhou suddenly made a sound.

Lin Xu and Shen Yun’an immediately looked at Zhouzhou, who had stood up, his mouth turned down and the corners of his eyes slightly red—a look that he was about to cry.

"What’s wrong with Zhouzhou?" Lin Xu was alarmed and quickly walked over from the dining room.

Zhouzhou looked at his grandma and then at his grandpa, and then around the living room. Not finding the person he was looking for, Zhouzhou made another "mmm mmm" sound and reached out to Lin Xu.

Startled, Lin Xu walked over quickly and immediately held Zhouzhou in her arms.
