Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Seeing Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei push the door open and come in, the little guy immediately jumped off the sofa, ran over happily, and held out the cotton candy in front of them: “Grandpa bought this for me. Mom and Dad, give it a try, it’s so sweet!”

Senior Master Gu chuckled and said, “I went to visit an old comrade this afternoon, and when we passed through a small town, I saw someone selling these and asked the guard to buy two. It’s been years since I’ve seen anyone selling this kind of stuff.”

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei didn’t refuse Xiao Shumiao’s hospitality, and each took a small bite.

“It’s really sweet,” Ye Xingbei said, touching Xiao Shumiao’s cheek, “Let’s set it aside for now. We’ll eat it after dinner. Is that okay?”

“Okay!” Xiao Shumiao nodded obediently, ran back to the coffee table, and handed the cotton candy to Senior Master Gu, “Grandpa, you keep it for me first. I’ll eat it when I’m full.”

Tasked by his precious grandson, Senior Master Gu smiled even more joyfully, “Alright, Grandpa will find a place to keep it for you. You can eat it after dinner.”

Senior Master Gu found a spot to insert the bamboo stick and placed the cotton candy there.

Xiao Shumiao looked at the cotton candy with delight, “It’s so pretty!”

Senior Master Gu rubbed his little head, “Are Ah Zui and Ah Yao here? If everyone’s here, let’s start eating.”

Gu Junzhu said, “They’re all here.”

“Good,” Senior Master Gu stood up, “then let’s start dinner.”

Dinner began.

Soon everyone gathered around.

Qiao Zui, Fang Yao, and Yun Jue all greeted Zhan Jinchuan warmly.

Senior Master Gu looked at the table full of young ones and cheerfully said, “In a few days, when Ah Ting comes back, the whole family will be together. Not one missing!”

He was in high spirits, his voice brimming with joy.

“Yes,” Gu Junzhu said, serving him food with a smile, “After the New Year, when Xiao Mi gives birth, there’ll be one more place at our table.”

“More seats are great!” Senior Master Gu chuckled, “We elders love having more kids! You and Beibei should keep it up, hurry and have another one.”

“Beibei and I will definitely be behind Brother Chuan,” Gu Junzhu glanced at Zhan Jinchuan, “Dad, did Brother Chuan tell you? He’s going to be a dad.”

“Ah?… What?” Senior Master Gu doubted his hearing, thinking he misheard.

It shouldn’t be!

Even though he’s older, he’s always been healthy. His ears, teeth, eyes, everything’s fine.

Gu Junzhu looked at Zhan Jinchuan, signaling him to explain himself.

Zhan Jinchuan, noticing everyone’s eyes on him, felt a little awkward.

He coughed and spoke with some difficulty, “Dad, Fengqian and I got our marriage certificate, and we have a child. Because I couldn’t take leave to come back and I didn’t want you to worry, I didn’t tell you and acted first, reported later…”

He stood up, filled his glass to the brim, and lifted it with both hands, “Dad, I was wrong. I apologize and will punish myself with three drinks.”

After that, he downed one glass, then drank two more in succession.

“Fengqian?” Senior Master Gu frowned, “The name sounds familiar…”

Gu Junzhu said, “She’s Uncle Siao’s granddaughter.”

“Oh, oh,” Senior Master Gu nodded, “Right, right, your Uncle Siao’s precious girl is named Fengqian, taken from Du Fu’s ’Spring Night Joy Rain,’ the line: ’Entering the night quietly with the wind.’” Your Uncle Siao said, on the night of her birth, it rained for the first time that spring, so he gave her that name.”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Isn’t this missing the point?

Senior Master Gu quickly realized and asked Zhan Jinchuan, “You married Senior Siao’s granddaughter?”
