His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 - Birds And A Worm

Iris couldn’t stop herself from giggling. She was amused that Grandpa Lu and Grandma Li would be so similar to each other when she met them for the first time on different occasions.

Grandma Li raised an eyebrow.

"My apologies, Grandma Li. I wasn’t laughing at you. I just remembered Grandpa Lu asking me the same question."

"Oh? So he also asked whether you’re single or not?" Grandma Li gave Grandpa Lu a side-eye, narrowing her eyes.

"Sister Zhiruo, why are you looking at me like that? I want to know! As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm!"

Grandma Li lifted her chin at him. "But this worm has free will so she has the right to choose which bird she wants to be with."

"Y-you! Don’t you dare! My bird has first priority!" Grandpa Lu looked enraged.

Iris knew what the saying meant, but she couldn’t understand what they were talking about. So she turned to Huang Yuyan beside her. "Auntie Yuyan, what do they mean? I don’t understand."

"Oh..." Huang Yuyan laughed awkwardly, her face turning red.

Iris tilted her head to the side. It seemed that Auntie Yuyan didn’t want to answer her. What was going on? It seemed that she was the only one who didn’t understand.

Before she could ask either Grandpa Lu or Grandma Li to clarify, Huang Yuyan nervously interjected.

"Mother, actually...well, the truth is...our two birds are already taken. I mean, they already have their own...worms."

Grandma Li: "Yuyan, what are you talking about? I know that our youngest bird is already taken but our eldest is still available."

Huang Yuyan: "Actually...he’s already taken as well."

Pause.

"Ahahaha! What? You didn’t know?" Grandpa Lu smacked his thighs as he laughed out loud. "Even I know about this!"

Grandma Li didn’t look pleased. She turned to her daughter-in-law. Even though she was frowning, she still looked graceful. "Why wasn’t I informed about this?"

Huang Yuyan bowed her head. "Sorry, Mother. I was going to tell you today, that’s why I came here. But I just couldn’t find the right time."

"Oh, my dear Yuyan. After all these years, you’re still so timid," Grandma Li said with a sigh.

Huang Yuyan bit her lip.

Grandpa Lu: "Don’t be so hard on Yuyan! That’s part of her charms! That’s why your son fell in love with her in the first place! Ahaha!"

Huang Yuyan reddened.

Grandma Li’s eyes saddened for a moment before smiling softly. Then she turned to Iris. "So? You still haven’t answered my question, my dear. Are you single or not?"

Grandma Li nodded and smiled at kindly at her.

Huang Yuyan continued to grip Iris’ hands. She sighed. "How I wish I have another son to introduce to you!"

’What nice people,’ Iris thought. They really were treating her like family and wanted her to be friends with their sons or grandsons.

"What’s wrong with introducing her to your two sons?" Grandma Li asked, raising an eyebrow.

"But Mother...they’re already taken."

Grandma Li scoffed. "For our youngest, almost two years of engagement but still no signs of tying the knot. I may not be a man but even I know when a man doesn’t want to marry the woman he’s engaged to."

"I’m sure they’re just taking their time."

"Oh?" Grandma Li raised her eyebrow even more. "Or perhaps they’re just not meant to be together. I keep saying this but it’s beyond my comprehension why he even proposed to that girl in the first place! Absolutely ridiculous!"

"Mother! Little Luo Luo is a nice girl!"

Grandma Li sniffed in contempt. "I promised your husband, my son, that I wouldn’t meddle in his sons’ lives too much. That’s why I stay here in the mountains to prevent myself from prying too much in their personal affairs. So even if I disagree, I’ll let our youngest make his own decisions. But if he still goes ahead and marries that girl, then I daresay that he’s a stupid blind idiot! I’ll feel truly ashamed to have a fool like him in our Jin family!"

"Mother, that’s too harsh!"

"Harsh? I’m only telling the truth, my dear."
