Chapter 140 It Was Actually a Misunderstanding

Ever since Su Mo went out with Xiao Junwan that day, she never returned. Countless calls were made from Xiao Manor every day, but they were all refused by Xiao Nanye's excuse.

"Su Mo is not feeling well, so we won't go over for the next few days."

When Aunt Liu heard this, she immediately had an idea, thinking to herself, "When Young Madam came here two days ago, there was nothing wrong. Now the Eldest Young Master said that she is not feeling well, could it be that she is pregnant?"

Aunt Liu's associative ability was also very strong, and she immediately smiled.

She instructed Xiao Nanye, "Young Madam's health is now very precious. Eldest Young Master, you must have someone take good care of her. I will go and talk to Old Master. However, you have to bring Young Madam back for dinner on New Year's Eve."

Xiao Nanye replied indifferently. As soon as he hung up the phone, Aunt Liu hurriedly ran over to tell Xiao Zhendong this good news.

Xiao Zhendong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He then instructed Uncle Chen in a loud voice, "Old Chen! Go and get someone to clean up the snow in the courtyard. Then, get the kitchen to prepare more nutritious dishes. This is my Xiao Family's first great-grandson!"

Today was the Chinese New Year, the last day of 2014.

In Yu Garden's room, the little girl who felt that she had been ignored was crying and hugging Xiao Nanye. She was tired from crying, so she curled up beside him and fell asleep.

At noon, Xiao Manor called again and asked them when they would leave.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Nanye looked sideways at the person sleeping beside him. There was a hint of gentleness in his amber eyes.

Because he was afraid of disturbing Su Mo, he deliberately set the phone to vibrate mode. When Ken called and he heard the person that Ken mentioned, Xiao Nanye's face suddenly darkened.

"Are you saying that everything he said is true? He and Qin Xiuwen are half-blood brothers?"

If that were the case, Ken would have never called Xiao Nanye at such a time.

Ken said, "But my people found out that Zhou Hongsheng inherited his father's congenital heart disease. His body has never been very good. He had been in critical condition several times. During the time when something happened to Qin Xiuwen, he just had a heart transplant operation."

Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "Was it really just a coincidence?"

"Get someone to go to that hospital to find his information." Xiao Nanye looked down at Su Mo. "Where is that woman?"

"After meeting the young miss, Zhou Hongsheng sent that woman and Qin Suche abroad overnight. I guess he was afraid that the young miss would notice something!" Ken had already sent someone to investigate it.

Sometimes, a stupid woman was extremely sensitive.

Xiao Nanye gently stroked her silky long hair and calmly ordered Ken, "If necessary, ask her to come back."

"Then, do you want that child to come back together?" Ken asked.

Xiao Nanye did not speak immediately. He remembered those days when his girl was chattering in his arms and endlessly talking about her cute little brother.

"Don't care about him for the time being."

Ken was a little surprised, but soon he understood what Xiao Nanye meant, thinking to himself, "The young miss likes that child so much. How could Boss bear to make her sad?"

Ken replied. Then he immediately went to instruct his subordinates about the matter.

After dealing with these matters, Xiao Nanye carried Su Mo upstairs, changed clothes for her, and carried her to the garage.

Su Mo suffered from insomnia last night and messed around with him in the morning. Now she was sleeping soundly and couldn't wake up no matter how.

When the car arrived at Xiao Manor, Uncle Chen and Aunt Liu were already waiting outside. Their eyes lit up when they saw Su Mo, who was still asleep in the car.

"Eldest Young Master, Young Madam hasn't woken up yet, right? Why don't you send Young Madam back to rest first? I'll get the kitchen to cook some chicken soup. I'll have someone send it over later."

The two of them didn't have lunch at noon. Xiao Nanye was also worried that Su Mo would be hungry. He nodded and said, "I'll send her back first. I'll see Grandpa later."

Xiao Nanye drove here on his own today. Uncle Chen asked someone to open the big iron gate at the entrance while the car drove straight into the front of the white building.

Xiao Nanye got out of the car and took a detour to the passenger seat. Just as he was about to carry Su Mo out of the car, she woke up.

This person slept all the way, and now that she opened her eyes, the first thing she said was, "I can't have transmigrated, right? Why is the snow in the courtyard gone?"

The person who was ignored was unhappy and reached out to poke her little head. "Woman, did you forget something?"

"Did I?" Su Mo blinked her eyes. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and reached her hand in front of him. "Congratulations and best of fortunes! Bring me the red packet!"

Xiao Nanye slapped her hand. "I've already given you the card. Why do you still want the red packet?"

"It's not romantic at all without red packets or gifts," Su Mo said unhappily with her mouth puckered.

When this woman did not cry or make a scene, she seemed to be more capable to make him angry. Xiao Nanye was so angry that he flung his sleeves, ignored her, and turned to leave.

Su Mo quickly got out of the car and chased after him. She held his hand and said, "Xiao Nanye, are we not going to see Grandpa?"

Xiao Nanye was in a good mood as his palm was filled with softness. He tightened his grip on her soft, boneless hand. "You haven't eaten anything at noon. Eat something before we go over."

When he said this, Su Mo really felt hungry.

Soon, Little Qiu came in with the food box that Aunt Liu had sent. The two of them ate quietly and were about to go to the main courtyard.

Su Mo ate until she was a little stuffed and insisted on dragging Xiao Nanye along, saying that it would help with digestion.

When Aunt Liu received Little Qiu's call, she waited at the door. When she saw the two of them holding hands as they walked over, she smiled so much that her eyes could no longer be seen. She hurriedly greeted them, "Young Madam, does the food still suit your appetite?"

Su Mo liked the enthusiastic Aunt Liu and nodded with a smile. "It's very delicious, especially the chicken soup. It seems to be different from what I used to drink. I drank it all."

Aunt Liu was very pleased and smiled even more happily, saying, "That's the pheasant that Old Master got someone to bring you. It's a supplement for you. There's still half of it in the kitchen. If you like it, drink more during dinner."

"Alright." Su Mo turned to look at Xiao Nanye. "Xiao Nanye, let's go see Grandfather!"

Xiao Nanye nodded and held her hand as they entered.

When they saw Xiao Zhendong, Su Mo felt that he was smiling much more often than before. When he looked at her, he looked more like a kind old grandpa who kept nodding.

Su Mo was confused by that and looked for Xiao Nanye for help.

In fact, when Xiao Nanye saw Aunt Liu just now, he had already guessed the reason. Now that he saw his grandfather, he was sure that what he said last time must have caused them to misunderstand.

Young Master Xiao's gaze slowly fell on Su Mo's stomach, but in his heart, he suddenly thought that such a misunderstanding seemed to be not bad.

So, he smiled and smoothed Su Mo's hair, "You go downstairs and wait for me first. I want to talk to Grandpa."

After Su Mo left, the smile on Xiao Zhendong's face suddenly disappeared. He slammed his heavy palm on the table. "Stinking brat, you don't even know to call me for such a big matter. Do you still see me as your grandfather in your eyes?"

"What is the matter?" Xiao Nanye asked casually.

This time, Xiao Zhendong did not slam the table. He stood up and patted his grandson. "You stinking brat, you still want to hide it from me? Tell me. Is Su Mo pregnant?"

Sure enough!

Xiao Nanye closed his mouth and did not say a word. In Xiao Zhendong's view, this was a positive answer.

Old Master Xiao clapped his hands and laughed as he said “good” three times in succession, "I see that Little Su doesn't look too good when she comes back this time. Did you take her to the hospital for a check-up?"

Xiao Nanye said, "Ah Yuan has checked it for her and said that she is fine."

"Has the Second Young Master of Qiao Family checked it?" Xiao Zhendong was very pleased.

Xiao Nanye nodded as well, but the smile on his face wasn't too obvious. In his heart, he was thinking, "This was all said by you, but I didn't say anything."

How could Xiao Zhendong know that his grandson was two-faced? He was still nagging Xiao Nanye to take good care of Su Mo, "You have to pay more attention to her in the future."

As it concerned his wife, Xiao Nanye naturally agreed to everything.

Even so, Xiao Zhendong was still worried since this was Xiao Family's first great-grandson. "I think Little Su is too thin. Why don't you just stay at home? Aunt Liu and the servants can help take care of her."

Xiao Nanye felt this matter was not up for discussion, so he said without giving his grandfather any face, "Don't worry. I'll find someone to help her recuperate. I won't let my son's mother suffer."

As Young Master Xiao spoke, he thought darkly to himself, "Even if we don't have a son now, we will still have one in the future. What I said is right. It couldn't be considered a lie."

The image of Xiao Nanye as an unfilial grandson in the past was too deep. Now that he was silent, Xiao Zhendong did not find him suspicious.

Xiao Zhendong was just a little angry that Xiao Nanye actually didn't tell his family about such a big matter of continuing their bloodline.

Although he still felt a little unhappy, Xiao Zhendong understood his grandson's bad temper and did not dare to push him.

Xiao Zhendong thought to himself, "If Xiao Nanye is like six years ago and sends Su Mo abroad without saying a word, won't I ever see my precious great-grandson?"

Xiao Zhendong offered a backup plan, "You can't be careless for the first three months. How about this? You stay here with Little Su for a few more days. When you leave, let Aunt Liu go back with you."

Xiao Nanye originally wanted to say that he had invited someone, but when he thought that Aunt Liu was Xiao Family's senior servant, he acquiesced to Old Master's arrangements.

It was rare for the grandfather and grandson to be so harmonious, and they chatted for a long time.

Su Mo was bored downstairs and went to stroll in the yard.

To be honest, Su Mo felt that Old Master Xiao was also a person who knew how to enjoy himself. In this big manor, just listening to the sound of the water flowing was enough to make people feel ecstatic.

The manor was built on the mountain, and this building was already fused as one with the scenery.

Su Mo walked a little further.

There was a bamboo forest in front, and the faint fragrance of bamboo assailed her nostrils. Su Mo's heart stirred, and she walked toward the bamboo forest.

When Su Mo walked over, she was surprised to see a person in the bamboo forest. The man was dressed in white and was practicing Tai Chi with his back facing her.

The breeze lifted the corner of his white clothes, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind as if it was in a dream.

At that moment, Su Mo really had an illusion that she had crossed over to a certain dynasty and seen an otherworldly immortal as if he was fused as one with heaven and earth.

That fresh and pleasant feeling made her unconsciously want to get closer.

Stepping on dried branches making cracking sounds, Su Mo hurriedly stopped and lowered her head in annoyance.

Although the voice was not loud, it still disturbed the person in the forest.

He hastily made a falling move, slowly turned around, and saw a person standing not far away and looking at him with a shocked expression.
