Chapter 61: The Old Man Bouncing Around (2)

The koi carp in the lake remained indifferent.

They only circled around Lu Li’s little hand, wagged their tails, and occasionally blew a few bubbles. In short, they wouldn’t go to Song Qingwan’s side.

The little girl was really angry this time. Seeing that her father was of no use, she pursed her rosy little lips and angrily called upon another person:

"I still have Grandpa! He’s very skilled, he’s... he’s very good at fishing!"

Lu Li pouted her little mouth: "If you don’t listen to me, I’ll have him fish all of you up later! You’ll be furious!"

Next to her, Song Qingwan slightly curled her red lips, her cool brows and eyes radiating a gentle warm glow.

Even though her gaze hadn’t fallen on the little girl, her ears weren’t deaf.

Listening to the little girl threatening a bunch of fish for her.

Although it seemed a bit childish, her heart was melting incredibly.

However, the little girl’s intentions were destined to fall through.

These fish couldn’t understand human speech.

Let alone, could they take in these threatening words...

The little loli solemnly said: "Yes, my Grandpa is the one fishing over there. He’s very fierce, and his voice is especially loud! I’ll have him come talk here every day, annoy you to death! Hmph!"

As soon as she said this, the big and small fish leisurely blowing bubbles in the lake suddenly widened their fish eyes, the wagging tails abruptly stopped!

The next moment, as if someone had pressed a switch, all the fish began moving!

Like they were escaping for their lives, they quickly swam over to Song Qingwan’s side, wagging their tails and blowing bubbles.

A few fish even popped their heads out of the water now and then, their fish eyes eagerly watching Song Qingwan.

It seemed a bit ingratiating.

Song Qingwan: "..."

"Auntie, auntie, look, look," the little girl was quite happy, her milky-scented white and tender little face huddled over, "Lu Li didn’t lie. The fish really do like you, oh."

Song Qingwan looked at the trembling mass of koi carps in front of her with an extremely complex and indescribable gaze.

Then, she turned her head, meeting the little girl’s bright eyes and a face full of expectation for praise.

Her heart fluttered slightly, she sighed, raised her hand to pat the little girl’s head, and generously smiled in praise: "Yes, our Li Li is really great!"

But what she thought was:

Dad, see how you’ve scared your fish.

...

However, speak of the devil —

Just after Song Qingwan praised the little girl, she lifted her eyes and saw the old man walking over from not far away.

But this time was different, he wasn’t holding anything.

Song Qingwan couldn’t figure out what he wanted to do, so she stood up and asked: "Dad, do you have something to attend to?"

The old man wasn’t expecting to be found out, his stern and severe face stiffened.

As if to hide something, he coughed heavily, put on his usual stern, unsmiling face, looked at her unhappily and said:

"Can’t I just come over if there’s no business? The whole pond is mine. I go wherever I want! You can’t control me!"

Song Qingwan was helpless: "Dad, that’s not what I meant..."

The old man forcefully waved his hand to interrupt her, his voice aged and strong: "Alright, alright, you go about your business, don’t mind me."

Song Qingwan had no choice but to let it go.

The old man glanced in their direction a few times, then strolled around for a bit.

Soon enough, he went back.

The lake water was clear and cool, more refreshing than staying under the parasol, and it was rare for these fish to get close to her. Song Qingwan felt playful, thinking she’d better seize this rare chance.

She simply had the servant move the parasol over, placed two small chairs by the shore, and while touching the fish, she chatted with the little girl.

But midway in their conversation, she turned her head, inadvertently seeing the old man walking towards them again.

Song Qingwan wanted to get up but remembered the old man’s words earlier and hesitated, pretending she hadn’t seen him.

"Grandpa!"

"Auntie, it’s Grandpa..."

Apparently, the little girl noticed him too!
