Before Baihe went back, he also met the old man, whose eyes lit up when he saw the girl.

Seeing how close she was to her grandson, and how they were chatting and laughing together, the old man figured she must be his future granddaughter-in-law. He was filled with the thought of his grandson getting married soon.

He was so happy that his eyes narrowed together.

"Young lady, please stay a little longer. Besides, I haven't prepared a gift for you yet. You can leave after I've prepared a gift for you."

To be honest, he hadn't seen enough of his granddaughter-in-law yet, and as an elder, it was too embarrassing for him not to prepare a gift for her.
He always felt he had to make sure the other person stayed, and when he saw that the old man wanted him to stay, Lily was taken aback for a moment.

She didn't recognize the old man in front of her. After Feng Tianci explained, Baihe politely greeted him.

"Grandpa, you have a good time here. I have other tasks to complete. I'm here mainly to discuss the specific details of the mission with Feng Tianci. Also, please take good care of yourself here. Feng Tianci will definitely take good care of you."

Upon hearing the girl's words, the old man felt an indescribable bitterness. He had wanted to keep the girl there to question her properly, but all they talked about was their mission.

"Tianci, why don't you think of leaving your companion behind? Don't just focus on missions. Remember, your companion is a girl too, and most importantly, missions can be given to others."

When Feng Tianci heard his grandfather say this, he didn't understand what his grandfather meant.
But the old man has already made the request, and besides, Lily has indeed done a lot of tasks during this period.

"Alright, then you can stay and have a meal. Besides, you can do these tasks later. Don't always tire yourself out."

"That's more like it. I told you you have no humanity at all. This is how it should be. Look at how others eat. At least when they're doing a mission, they're not so hungry."

After hearing what the other party said, Baihe was somewhat confused. She didn't know what the old man in front of her wanted to do.

After the meal, the old man asked many questions, which Lily knew even less about, as he was an assassin.

Furthermore, having received absolutely no emotional education, his eyes were filled with confusion at that moment.

The old man was puzzled. "I've made it so obvious, and there are no other girls around my grandson. Why are the two young people so confused?"
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see that he still needs to do his mission? Besides, he's just my companion, he doesn't mean anything by it. Don't bully that girl, or I'll send you back."

After Feng Tianci finished speaking, Baihe quickly realized that it was about that kind of thing. She knew that Feng Tianci didn't mean it that way at all.

Therefore, he would never make things difficult for Feng Tianci, and their relationship could only remain at this point; he could not possibly start a family.

After all, his family of origin had indeed hurt him.

"Grandpa, thank you for your kindness, but it's a pity that we really haven't thought about relationships. We're sorry to disappoint you."

Only after the girl left did the old man glare at Feng Tianci with annoyance. "What's wrong with you? Why are you undermining me? You're not getting any younger, why aren't you married? Besides, I think this girl fits your criteria for a partner quite well. You're always just drifting around alone, do you expect to be a lonely bachelor when you're old?"

When his grandfather spoke to him, Feng Tianci knew that his grandfather was worried that he would always be alone in the future, with no one to accompany him, and that he would feel very lonely. However, Feng Tianci could not let this delay a girl's youth.

"It's alright, Grandpa. If I'm really alone then, I'll stay with you. Besides, I have so many friends around me. He's my friend, so he can stay with me too."

Faced with Feng Tianci's stubbornness, the old man had no choice but to give up. In any case, he sometimes interfered in the affairs of young people, but if they didn't listen, he wouldn't say anything more about it, so as not to upset Feng Tianci later.

"Anyway, you can decide for yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, even if I tell you more, it will only make you feel sad."

"I really don't know what to say about you."

On his way back, Baihe saw his colleague walking towards him. He had become very familiar with these topics over the past few months, and he was also extremely skilled at interpersonal communication.

"I'll be switching shifts with you soon, please wait for me a moment, it shouldn't be time yet, right?"

As soon as Baihe finished speaking, the girl opposite him crossed her arms, took a sniff, and then shook her head helplessly.

"So many people pursued you, but you didn't agree to any of them. It turns out you had someone else in your heart. Smell the cigarette smell on you; it's very obvious."

"Lily, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're already this age. If that guy isn't planning on marrying you, he's probably just playing around. You absolutely mustn't get your heart set on him."

Zhu Dan, who was on the other side, had actually seen that man twice, and she knew that he was indeed quite captivating from a distance.

However, that doesn't mean that just because someone is attractive, they should go after them. After all, if the other person doesn't have that kind of interest, the girl also has to think about herself. She can't put all her thoughts on a man and waste her own time.

Lily blushed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Mind your own business. Besides, he's my friend. If there were really something between us, I would have already pursued him."

"Do you think I don't know whether you would pursue her or not? You just don't want to settle down because of what happened to you before, so there's no way you would pursue her."

While the two were talking, Baihe wanted nothing more than to crack open the girl's head and take a look. "Is it really okay for you to embarrass me like this in front of everyone?"

"I'm not going to say anything more. I'm going to hand over my shift now. Don't say anything like that again. He's just my friend. I don't want you to misunderstand him after you say something. If he does misunderstand, I'll never forgive you."

"I understand, I understand. I won't let your young master misunderstand, is that alright?" (End of Chapter)
