Chapter 457: Weird Tastes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiang Wan had a dream again.

There seemed to be a cat mewling from somewhere nearby, and she thought of Blackie…

In her dream, she felt regretful since the trip to the Capital was a little too rushed and she didn’t manage to bring Blackie along.

Maybe Blackie missed her?

Was that the reason why Blackie came to her dream?

She was definitely in a strange dream and had silly thoughts like this.

In her dream, Xiang Wan felt that she was clear-headed until she heard some knocking sounds on the door which took her away from her dream—

“… Sir Little Bai, Sir Little Bai? Open the door, please.”

It was Nanny Li, and her voice sounded like she had no choice but to knock on their door.

She felt very stiff and confused when those sounds went into her ears. Xiang Wan opened her eyes. When she did so, she started feeling a little groggy and a little lost. The extremely unfamiliar sight before her plunged her into a daze for several seconds.

Nanny Li puffed a sigh. “Madam is awake. She kept saying she wanted to meet her granddaughter-in-law. Is this a convenient time?”

Madam?

It’s Bai Muchuan’s grandmother!

Xiang Wan immediately sprang up in bed.

Bai Muchuan was sitting on the sofa when he looked at Xiang Wan. Then he got up. “Coming now!”

He shuffled with his slippers and walked over with an intent to open the door.

However, Xiang Wan was still on the bed; her heart nearly jumped out of her mouth when she heard that.

Was she really going to see his grandma, in this manner?

She was in her pajamas, and she just woke up from her sleep…

At least, he should let her change her clothes, wash her face, and dress up first!

She tried to call Bai Muchuan’s name softly and keep mouthing to him.

“Hey, wait, wait up…”

At the next instant, the door was already open.

A granny sitting on a wheelchair came into sight.

She had silvery-white hair with an amiable smile. She seemed very friendly and easy to get close to.

Xiang Wan sat rooted on the bed in a daze while she looked at the old lady in embarra.s.sment.

She didn’t expect the old lady to let out an exclamation.

“What a beautiful little fairy! Umm, Chuanchuan ah… is she my future granddaughter-in-law?”

Fairy? Did she really say those words when she had that appearance?

What a lovely old lady!

“… Granny, nice to meet you!”

Xiang Wan was a little nervous. She quickly ran her fingers through her hair and checked her pajamas. She felt like hiding herself somewhere for appearing like that before the old lady.

“My apologies, I just took a nap. Please wait… I’ll go get changed, wait for me for a while.”

“No need, no need. You need not change, just sit here. It’s alright!”

The old lady said with a smiling face and asked Nanny Li to push her into the room.

“Grandma!” Bai Muchuan blocked her. He put an arm on the door frame to relief Xiang Wan of her embarra.s.sment.

“Aye, Grandma, why are you in such a hurry? When she’s finished changing, we’ll come and see you. Is that okay?”

“Not okay!” The old lady looked at him unhappily. Her gaze looked towards Xiang Wan who was sitting on the bed.

She kept looking at Xiang Wan; her face suddenly broke into a grin to show how much she liked her.

“She’s nice, nice. This la.s.s is good-looking!”

Grandma Bai’s praises made Xiang Wan glad and shy at the same time.

However, after a slight pause, she continued to mutter something under her breath.

“This grandson of mine indeed has a peculiar taste…”

Eh…?

What was she talking about?

Was she referring to Xiang Wan?

Xiang Wan felt a tug at her heart; she suddenly felt ashamed.

She pulled her pajamas and her face went red from embarra.s.sment.

“Granny, I’ll get up right away. I’ll go get changed…”

In actual fact, she felt that she was in a more awkward predicament when she got out of bed.

She felt at a loss and couldn’t stop looking at Bai Muchuan.

Bai Muchuan glanced at her and sighed slowly. “Grandma, you go back to your room first. We need to get changed…”

“There’s no need for that!” Grandma Bai protested, “I think this is just fine!” Unsure what she was thinking, she suddenly turned to Nanny Li. “You showed me a video recently, what’s it called?”

This confused Nanny Li. “Which video, Madam…?”

Grandma Bai was not in good health. To brighten her life a little, Nanny Li would find some funny and comical stories to make her laugh. She would find some interesting videos to let her watch.

Therefore, Grandma Bai was not out of touch with the world at all. Apart from suffering from Alzheimer’s disease which caused her memory to fail, she did not differ from a normal old lady with a kind smile on her face.

“It’s that one, the video where a girl made herself look like Mona Lisa with makeup…” Grandma gestured with her fingers.

“Orh, orh…” Nanny Li did not know why she asked about that and felt a little awkward. “I know, ‘the wonders of makeup—even more magical than the skill of disguise’.”

“Yeah, yeah, that one… Aye, the girls in this era make themselves look like the demoness. Their eyebrows don’t look like eyebrows, their eyes don’t look like eyes. I can’t even imagine how their face looked like under that thick layer of makeup. I can’t tell if they’re still human or not…”

“…” Was it really that bad?

Everyone kept their mouth shut.

When Grandma Bai said that, she gazed at Xiang Wan’s face which had no makeup on and kept nodding at her.

“This girl is good. At least she’s human, and she’s a female…”

“…” Xiang Wan felt strange and amused at the same time.

She didn’t know what to say while facing this peculiar old lady.

However, Bai Muchuan was used to her behavior.

He grunted a laugh casually at the door and asked the old lady, “See?” he asked with a smile, “I didn’t lie to you right, Grandma? I’ve said to bring back your granddaughter-in-law, and here she is. Grandma, you can be rest a.s.sured this time, right?”

Grandma Bai couldn’t stop nodding and smiling at her grandson. She would also keep glancing at Xiang Wan. Her behavior showed that she wasn’t really a.s.sured yet.

“My granddaughter-in-law is really not bad…”

She suddenly stopped talking and scrutinized Bai Muchuan.

Her sharp eyes and serious expression made Xiang Wan’s heart quiver.

Would something bad happen?

She felt her heart squeezed tightly for an instant.

Grandma Bai, however, suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked in a nervous tone. “You didn’t go rent a girlfriend, did you?”

Pffft!

Nanny Li was the first to laugh. “Madam, you… what are you thinking? This is Miss Xiang, the one I’ve told you before, that Miss Xiang…”

“You’ve told me before? Really?” Grandma Bai tilted her head and thought seriously, but she couldn’t seem to recall. As if it worried her that her granddaughter-in-law might slip away, she looked at Xiang Wan seriously. “Good! It’s good that she’s not a rented girlfriend, as long as she’s not rented.”

Bai Muchuan looked at her without another word. “…”

Xiang Wan did the same with eyes filled with amus.e.m.e.nt. “…”

She could not grasp what Grandma Bai was thinking.

Nanny Li knew why the old lady behaved that way and explained to them.

“There’s actually a story posted on the internet that there are some guys who tried to fool their family by renting a girlfriend during the Lunar New Year…”

“That’s not the worse!” Grandma Bai let out a snort and interrupted Nanny Li. “I don’t know anymore what’s happening to men nowadays. They don’t like girls anymore and like guys instead. It’s too scary…”

Xiang Wan kept her eyes on her. “…”

She wanted to laugh but she daren’t.

This must be the oldest fujos.h.i.+ she had ever met.

Hmm, she’s adorable.

Grandma Bai refused to let Bai Muchuan off. She asked a lot of questions about him and Xiang Wan before she finally heaved a relief.

“Good, good! Little Wanwan, don’t be angry with Grandma… it’s simply because this obedient grandson of mine had never fallen in love. Now that he suddenly has a girlfriend, Grandma is worried… worried that this granddaughter-in-law is a fake, or even turn out to be a guy…”
