The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Family Portrait

During dinner, faced with a table full of delicious dishes, Jian Dan had little appetite, her mind kept replaying the words Uncle had whispered in her ear…

“Dan Dan, why aren’t you eating? Are you feeling unwell?” Granny noticed that Jian Dan hadn’t really touched her chopsticks.

“Ah? No, no!” Jian Dan smiled awkwardly.

“Really? You seem a bit off today,” Granny said while placing a chicken wing into Jian Dan’s bowl.

“No, really! Oh yeah, Granny, I have a suggestion. Now that brother is back, I think we should take a family photo!” Jian Dan didn’t want Granny to keep dwelling on the earlier topic.

“I think that’s a great idea!” Granny was the first to agree.

“Right? I told you.” Granny’s attention was successfully diverted by Jian Dan.

“Everyone should be free tomorrow, right? Let’s schedule it for tomorrow then!”

Jian Dan almost laughed out loud when she heard Granny set the family photo for the next day.

“That sounds great~ Since we are going to take the family photo together tomorrow, Uncle and I won’t fuss any further and will stay at the old house tonight!” Jian Dan announced with a smile.

“That’s a good suggestion, we can play a couple of games of chess!” Grandpa said excitedly.

“No problem!”

Chu Liyuan had been silent all this time, simply watching Jian Jian’s performance.

It seemed that what he had said earlier really did scare her. He had also not given her a break these past few days, so he could understand why Jian Jian was behaving like this now.

His lass was just so adorable in every way, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Seeing that Uncle did not object, Jian Dan also let out a silent sigh of relief.

After dinner~

“Little Jian, come on, I’m seriously itching to play some chess!” Grandpa was already eagerly ready with the chessboard, wanting to start.

When Jian Dan saw Uncle walking towards her, she said, “Grandpa, I’m coming.”

Chu Liyuan watched Jian Jian’s retreating figure with the corners of his mouth lifted.

After playing several games, both Jian Dan and Grandpa were getting sleepy. “Little Jian, let’s call it a day!” said Grandpa, yawning so hard he was ready to get up.

“Wait a second, Grandpa~” Jian Dan grabbed at Grandpa’s sleeve as he was about to leave. “Just one more game, please!” “No more, you can barely keep your eyes open. Go to bed now!”

“Grandpa, it’s still early, right? Let’s play one more game!” Jian Dan stubbornly clung to Grandpa’s sleeve, refusing to let go.

“Still early?” Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the clock on the wall: 12:38.

Jian Dan followed Grandpa’s gaze and smiled sheepishly, “Heh heh, maybe it’s not that early, huh?”

“All right, Little Jian, you’d better go rest!” Still, Grandpa left her behind.

Watching Grandpa’s figure leave, Jian Dan felt a mix of laughter and tears.

Turning around, she saw Chu Liyuan, who was already behind her, “Heh heh, Uncle, you haven’t gone to bed yet?”

“Indeed, it’s time to sleep!” Chu Liyuan scooped Jian Dan up in a princess carry.

“Uncle, you—”

With a devilish smile, Chu Liyuan carried Jian Dan back to the room.

“Uncle, I was wrong, please forgive me this time!” As soon as Jian Dan entered the room, she apologized to Chu Liyuan.

Chu Liyuan didn’t say a word but drew closer to Jian Dan~

Jian Dan closed her eyes, “Uncle, I really was wrong. Can you let me off just for tonight?” Seeing Jian Jian’s pitiful look, Chu Liyuan’s lips curled up.

Pulling Jian Jian into his embrace, “Sleep,” he said.

Only when Jian Dan felt that Uncle had stopped and closed his eyes, his arm wrapping around her, did she slowly open her eyes.

As Jian Dan felt Uncle’s even breathing, only then did her tense emotions gradually settle down…
