Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 88 Wedding Anniversary Banquet Arc (3) : Cupid Grandpa Liu

"Oh," Ai took back the candies again.

"Hey!" Liu Hai whined. "You gave them to me!"

"You are not allowed to eat sweets because your health demands that. In that case, your wife is right," she strictly said.

He stomped his foot in injustice and sobbed.

Everybody hates me…

Ai put two small candies in his palm. Liu Hai shockingly watched his salvation through his tears and at her as if she was a Goddess.

"You cannot eat too many candies. But you can have two at least. Plus, these are not too sweet."

He wiped his eyes and sniffled. "You are such a good girl."

"I like sweets myself, so I can understand you. It's hard to restrict yourself from the food you like."

Liu Hai nodded hard. "You really understand me!"

Ai added. "But you also cannot trouble your family like that. No hiding and eating stuff. They do this because they are worried about you. You know that."

He mumbled to himself. "I know…"

She smiled. "Good…Sir." _{wasn't sure how to address him, so she used the safest way.}

A stranger was suddenly lecturing Liu Hai on his health, but he didn't mind it at all. Instead he grabbed her hand and sulkingly expressed. "Don't call me Sir. Sir sounds too distant. Call me Grandpa!"

Ai was surprised.

Wouldn't that sound too close?

But if he gave his permission, then Ai had no problems with it.

"Okay, Grandpa."

Liu Hai brightened. "Good, good!"

Then the light in his eyes sparkled further as a great idea struck him.

"By any chance, are you single dear?"

She blinked.

He grew even more enthusiastic now. "You see, I have four super handsome grandsons! Two of them are already in a relationship. So they are out. But I have two more single grandsons! You know, I always complained about having four grandsons, but now I feel lucky that my son and daughter-in-law have four sons! Super convenient!"

Ai couldn't understand where he was going with this.

"I think one of you will be a great match for you! So why don't you try dating one of them?"

At that point, she was at a complete loss.

You are…setting me up with one of your grandsons just like that?

Liu Hai was completely in awe of himself. "I am brilliant! I know what we should do! I will introduce you to them! No time better than now!"

"No, no. I cannot-"

But he already grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards the mansion.

Inside the banquet hall, Liu Hai traced his sight among the crowd from a corner and waved at Nian. "Nian! Call Jin over here right now! You come too!"

Nian's expression darkened.

It's never good news when he is so hyper.

Jin passed by him and asked, "Grandpa is calling us, right?"

"Let's not go," he rolled his eyes. "It is definitely something stupid.

"Come on, bro. He is so excited. He is practically hopping up and down," he chuckled and touched his chin, "he looks like he found some treasure." _?

"That treasure is definitely something stupid."

Jin grabbed his arm and pulled him. "Don't be like this." i????????rℯ????????． ????o????

Liu Hai scolded them as they reached his side. "So slow! Couldn't you walk any faster!?"

Nian's mouth twitched. "You have to complain about everything, old man."

He glared at him. "That's why you don't have a girlfriend yet, Nian!"

Nian was dumbfounded.

Where did this come from?

Liu Hai proudly smirked. "But now, you might have one. Or Jin for that matter."

The two of them were visibly perplexed.

What is he talking about?

He pulled Ai's hand from beside him and made her face them. "Tadah!"

As Nian and Jin's gazes fell on the woman before them, they froze on their spot for very different reasons.

Nian's eyes widened as if he met a ghost.

Huh? Huh? Huh? What is she doing here?

He recalled the Twins Trial of Judgment and gulped remembering how Ai had scolded him and Jian and then Nana.

No…no, no, no, no, no! I am so dead! If Mom sees her, I am so dead! You damn old man!

He wiped the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

But Ai had fixated her gaze upon him. "Have we met somewhere before?"

Jian and Nian had used makeup to hide their real looks, so she was doubtful.

Nian nervously laughed and dismissed her. "Y-you are so silly. Why would we meet anywhere? You made a mistake."

"I don't think so," Ai tilted her head. "I have seen you somewhere before. I met a man whose name was also Nian."

Damn your memory! Don't expose me!

Liu Hai was displeased. "What? You think you met this brat? And here I wanted to pair you with my youngest grandson!"

Nian was left speechless. "What is wrong with me?"

"Hmph! You are too bratty for her. She is so smart, kind and polite. Jin is more suited for her, hahaha!"

He sneered. "And you think you were suited for Grandma? But aren't you married to her anyways?"

Liu Hai smacked him. "Shut up! Chunhua and I are a match made in heaven."

Nian rolled his eyes again.

Liu Hai faced Ai. "I wanted you to pick one of them, but forget about this brat. Let him be single for life!"

His gaze darkened. "Say all you want but isn't she older than Jin?"

"Age is just a number. So what if he is younger than her? Compatibility matters the most."

"And you think I cannot be compatible with her?"

He smirked. "You could be, but I don't want to waste such a precious granddaughter-in-law on you."

Nian clutched his heart. "You big bully! I won't forgive you for this! I am leaving!"

Yes, so that she doesn't recognize me more than she already has!

Nian disappeared like lightning.

Liu Hai sneered. "Good that he is gone. I was stupid to think that you two could match," his eyes sparkled. "Nian wouldn't, but Jin definitely will! Right, Jin?"
