"Well, that's great. A six-year-old can speak so coherently."

Smart children always impress others.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger. Zhao Chuyu pulled her coat, raised her hand to push away the hair that was blown to her lips, and continued:

"Jiayi, it's a bit cold here, why don't we go inside and talk?"

Perhaps it was the feeling that Qi Jiayi gave her, that he was smart and clever, and not as naughty and willful as other children, that made her subconsciously treat him as a little adult and ask for his opinion.

Before Qi Jiayi went out, he wore thicker clothes as his mother advised, so he didn't feel cold.

But his mother said that girls' opinions should be respected at all times.

Moreover, it was minus 5 degrees Celsius at this time, and my great-uncle must be feeling cold wearing such thin clothes.

As a young gentleman, he couldn't let the beautiful fairy catch a cold, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in quickly."

A big one and a small one walked side by side, towards the living room of the villa step by step under the reflection of the setting sun.

The spacious and luxurious living room has a smooth and bright floor without a speck of dust.

The dark leather sofa, covered with fluffy cushions, adds a touch of warmth to this cold space.

On the simple-shaped coffee table, there is a pot of orange-yellow honey water warming.

This was brewed by Qi Jinan himself before he left the villa, and he kept it warm in a thermos for Zhao Chuyu.

In case she suddenly feels nauseous or uncomfortable, drinking some honey water can help relieve the symptoms.

Qi Jiayi, who was following behind her, had curiosity in his eyes.

This was his second time entering his uncle's mysterious villa.

The first time was when a cat ran in here and made trouble, and he followed his great-grandfather in to catch the cat.

After that, there was no chance to come in again.

For the past ten years or so, this place has been strictly guarded by soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter. It is like a forbidden area.

He once asked his father why the most magnificent villa next to the main building was closed and no one was allowed to enter.

At the same time, I am also curious about who the owner of this large single-family villa is and why it is guarded so closely.

I still remember that his father pretended to be gloomy and "warned" him.

“Boy, I know you are smart and brave, but you must remember that curiosity kills the cat.

That is the villa of your great-grandfather's most beloved youngest son. He has been away from home for many years and has not returned yet.

Except for your great-grandfather, no one can enter without the permission of your great-uncle.

Even your great-grandfather couldn't enter, so don't even think about "breaking the heavenly rules".

Otherwise, neither your father nor your grandfather can save you."

That was the first time his father warned him so sternly, making him clearly aware of the seriousness of the matter.

In order not to lose the "favor" of his great-grandfather, he obediently suppressed his curiosity.

Every time I passed by here, I would take a quick look and silently say: Don't be stupid, this is a place that even the head of the family doesn't dare to approach, we can't lose the big picture for the small.

He couldn't do that before, but now, he was invited in by his great-uncle and grandmother, so he can visit openly.

When Qi Jiayi thought of this, a dark color that was inconsistent with his age flashed in the depths of his sparkling eyes.

He hid it inconspicuously so that his great-uncle and grandmother wouldn't find out.

Thinking of my uncle's aura that is as cold as an iceberg, I have to leave before my elders come back after dealing with the spies.

Otherwise, his little thoughts would not be hidden from his great-uncle's sharp eyes.

After just one meeting in the afternoon, it became clear that my great-uncle was not someone that anyone could fool.

Seeing that the great-uncle grandmother was going to sit on the sofa and was not going to take him on a tour, he took two steps forward and hurriedly said, "Great-uncle grandmother, can we go to the study on the second floor? I have something to tell you."

"Study on the second floor?" Zhao Chuyu had just walked around the living room on the first floor and had not yet gone up to the second floor. When he heard the word "study", he subconsciously frowned.

A study is usually a place where important items are stored. It is against the rules to enter without the owner's consent.

She sat down on the sofa, suppressed the smile on her lips, and looked at the naughty child with a serious expression.

"Jiayi, you cannot enter the study room without the owner's permission. This is extremely impolite.

Everyone has their own right to privacy. Even if I am married to your uncle, I cannot enter without his consent."

It seems like preaching, but every word makes sense.

She knew that this was a member of the Qi family and that his upbringing must be very strict. He would not say such things for no reason. Perhaps he wanted her to go to the study to read something.

However, putting aside the fact that she is not Qi Jinan's real wife, even if she is worthy of the title, she will not step into his private territory without asking him.

After hearing this, Qi Jiayi's eyes sparkled with an unusually bright light. This great-aunt, who was more beautiful than a fairy, was different from all the young ladies from aristocratic families that he knew.

Have your own principles in doing things, and have a scale in your heart to distinguish right from wrong.

We would not think that he is a child who knows nothing and fool him.

Nor would they condone his mistakes after knowing that he was a descendant of the Qi family.

He liked this great-grandmother more and more.

As if feeling ashamed, he lowered his head and walked up to Zhao Chuyu, bent down, and apologized solemnly.

"Yes, great-uncle, you are right. It was Jiayi who was not thoughtful enough. Thank you for your guidance."

Then, he said what had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Grandma, tomorrow is my great-uncle's birthday. Can you let him have dinner with my great-grandfather tomorrow night?

My grandfather told me that my uncle hasn't had dinner with his great-grandfather or celebrated his birthday with him since his birthday twelve years ago.

Every year on this day, my great-grandfather would lock himself in his study, refusing to eat or drink, and no one could persuade him to stop.

If he hadn't heard that your great-grandfather would bring you back today, he wouldn't have held his 90th birthday party, which is today's family dinner.

In previous years, my great-grandfather would not allow my grandfathers and others to help him celebrate his birthday.

Great-uncle, can you stay one more day tomorrow?"

Qi Jiayi stopped here and looked at Zhao Chuyu with hope.

Not long ago, he heard his third great-uncle and great-grandfather mention that his young uncle was not allowed to have contact with women before, but now he can, which means that his great-uncle's grandmother is a very important person in his young uncle's heart.

In his little boy's opinion, what comes from very important people is generally more valuable and will be listened to.

It’s like he is a more important person in his father Qi Zhisheng’s heart, so his words are a little more effective than those of his mother.

Now, if my great-aunt could ask my great-uncle to spend his birthday at the old house, it would definitely work.

He didn't want to see his great-grandfather sad again, and he didn't want to see his great-grandfather, who was over 90 years old, fainted and was admitted to the hospital again due to lack of water.

Zhao Chuyu, who was sitting on the sofa, heard that tomorrow was Qi Jinan's birthday, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

He never mentioned this to her, and she never asked about his birthday.

His birthday is also in winter?

What should I do? I haven’t prepared any birthday gifts.

It seems too late to prepare now.

The next second, he thought of what Qi Jiayi had just said twelve years ago.

Does Mr. Qi lock himself in his study on December 12th every year?

Is this also Qi Jinan’s concern?

Is it related to the time when he lost control of his emotions and smashed the glass with his bare hands?

What happened on your birthday that year?

Zhao Chuyu thought for a moment and looked at Qi Jiayi, who was much smarter than his peers. "Have you met my uncle's mother?"

"My great-uncle's mother?" This question seemed to touch upon Qi Jiayi's blind spot in knowledge.

He repeated it and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, nor have I seen it."

In the Qi family, not only had he never seen his great-uncle's mother, he had also never seen the mothers of his other four great-grandfathers.

I only heard that several great-grandmothers passed away very early, and they were rarely mentioned.

Although the topic got him around in circles, he did not forget his purpose and started talking about what had just happened.

"Grandma, can you accompany my uncle to celebrate his birthday at the old house tomorrow?"

The pleading look in the little boy's eyes inexplicably made Zhao Chuyu begin to soften his heart.

"Well, I can stay, but I'm not sure what your uncle thinks. I'll try to talk to him."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bodyguard's respectful voice came from outside the villa, "Fifth Master."

Qi Jiayi looked shocked.

Oh no, my great uncle is back.
