Ye Wan Wan thought maybe she was overthinking things.
But no matter what was wrong with him, it was better to hold onto his hand so she wouldn't have to worry about not keeping up.
At such a big place, it would be very easy to get left behind and lost.
After she grabbed onto his hand, Si Ye Han merely slowed down but remained speechless and walked her around the old house.
When he was preparing to go for a second round, Ye Wan Wan couldn't take it any longer. "Si Ye Han, my legs are tired. Should we sit for a bit?"
Si Ye Han glanced at her, seemingly not wanting to stop but in the end, he brought her to sit on a long wooden bench.
Ye Wan Wan sighed in comfort, loosened her grip on him, stretched her body and muttered, "Grandma's really nice. I was afraid she wouldn't like me at first."
Si Ye Han looked at his empty palm for an instant, then returned his gaze, "No way."
Actually, Ye Wan Wan knew that aside from her good behaviour, the biggest factor in determining Grandma's impression of her still depended on Si Ye Han. As the saying goes, he that loves the tree loves the branch.
As long as she didn't make the same mistakes or cross a line, the meeting this time would most likely go smoothly. Of course, showing some affection to Si Ye Han wouldn't hurt.
"Oh yes, Si Ye Han, why does grandma call you Little 9th and others call you 9th young master?" Ye Wan Wan asked out of curiosity.
According to what she knew, Si Ye Han only had an elder brother so wasn't he supposed to be second in line?
Si Ye Han leaned against the chair, glancing at the stars above, "I've been weak and sickly since I was little, so this was a way to avoid tempting fate."
After hearing this, Ye Wan Wan understood, "So this was the reason. I've also heard this saying before. So making your family members call you 9th young master instead of 2nd young master would prevent the Grim Reaper from taking your soul, huh?"
