Chapter 425 - [Bonus ]
Immediately the entire room was filled with silence. Everyone turned to look at Su Wan how come she knew something about Cantaloupe when it wasn't even found in the country?
Lin Jing and Shen Junxi were confused even Madam Zhu was looking at Su Wan with a politely bewildered expression.
Only Lin Yan, Lin Chen and Lin Yu didnt turn to look at Su Wan. They knew about her time travel.
Thus had an idea how she knew about cantaloupe. Su Wan knew that she might have messed up. She turned to look at Lord Fei who was looking at her already and smiled trying to look less guilty than she was but just as she opened her mouth to make an excuse or something.
When Lin Yan who was sitting next to Lin Jing opened his mouth and interrupted her before she could say anything.
"I was the one who told her about it. I work on the docks and once heard it from the foreigner who came to have lunch at my restaurant. He was discussing it with great enthusiasm. So I told Wan Wan about it after I returned home and ever since she has been stubbornly insisting about growing it in our fields. I told her that we won't be able to buy the seeds of cantaloupe here but she isn't willing to listen to me."
Then he turned to Su Wan with an admonishing glare as he chided her in a low voice. "See, didn't I tell you? You cannot get those seeds here but you were not willing to listen to me. Now are you going to believe me?"
Su Wan knew that Lin Yan was trying to help her, so she immediately pulled a long-expression and said in an aggrieved voice. "I just wanted to do something that no one has done before. Why are you so fierce to me?"
Her face was naturally pretty with her palm shaped face and watery eyes. Su Wan was like a little imp -she was already so beautiful and when she purposefully bit her lip like she was wronged.
Even Lin Yan who fake scolded her felt like he did something wrong. Then of course, the others would feel that he had gone too far. Immediately everyone turned to glare at Lin Yan who felt like he has been wronged to no end!
Shen Junxi glared at him and said fiercely. "All right! Why are you scolding Wan Wan for something you did? Isn't it your fault that you told her about that cantaloupe thingy? My niece is still young of course she will be curious about such things. As her husband it's your responsibility to get her what she wants! You haven't gotten her what she wanted and yet you have the nerve to scold her? " Shen Junxi scolded Lin Yan ferociously.
He would have said something more if he wasn't worried about scaring Su Wan. Then he turned to Su Wan and said with a smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze. "Little Wan Wan.. Don't worry! I will definitely get the things that you want. Now that I know where I can get there. I will surely make the necessary arrangements!"
Lord Fei cleared his throat. His voice filled with a bit of reprimand though his eyes were clearly filled with amusement. "Junxi, my dear Junxi are you trying to steal my thunder here?" Although Lord Fei wasn't petty, he didn't like it when someone tried to steal the fruits of his labor.
Clearly it was him who told Su Wan where she could get the seeds so why was this brat poking his nose in the matter?
Shen Junxi's eyes darted around as he scratched his head with a sheepish look on his face. He clearly understood Lord Fei's personality so he hurriedly coaxed this Big Buddha with a flattering smile on his face.
"Of course not, my Lord! How dare I even think about stealing your thunder I thought that you might be busy with Madame Fei's birthday banquet and that's why I didn't want my silly niece to trouble you. As you can see- she has such bizarre ideas. So I was afraid she might disturb you with her high standard demands."
Lord Fei snorted he understood it more than anyone why Shen Junxi was trying to snatch this task from him. He clearly wanted Little Wan Wan to sweetly say 'Thank you' to him. Does he look like an idiot to him?
"What trouble? How can my sweet granddaughter trouble me? Even if she was to ask the Emperor's jade seal, it wouldn't be a problem for me! So how can she disturb me with such a tiny request of hers?"
Lord Fei was easy to coon but difficult to fool. He could easily see past Shen Junxi schemes and didn't fall for the trap that the latter built for him. Yes his wife was indeed important but so was his granddaughter!
Shen Junxi knew that he couldn't pull the wool in Lord Fei's eyes and turned sullen. Although he was unhappy Lord Fei was the smiling tiger of this family now.
Even if he didn't want to suffer in silence -Shen Junxi had to suffer it! Not only does he have to share Su Wan's affections with someone else but he also has to do it while smiling like a blooming flower!
So he immediately smiled sweetly and flattered Lord Fei. "Right, you are my Lord. She is your granddaughter of course, she can never be a disturbance to you. After all you are her powerful grandfather. How can I even compare with you?"
Lord Fei looked at Shen Junxi from head to toe causing the latter to feel scared inwardly but he still nodded and smoothed out his white beard as he said.
"You are right! With me here my granddaughter won't have to worry about nothing! I am more than enough to fulfill her every wish aren't I great Junxi?"
What can Shen Junxi say? He nodded his very obediently and praised. "Yes, Yes my Lord. You are absolutely right! You are the most amazing grandfather of the century!"
Seeing this will behaved Shen Junxi everyone in the room turned silent. Especially the Lin Brothers who have been suppressed for so long "…..." ALL HAIL GRANDPA!
