Noticing Lin Jiage’s presence, Lu Bei and Xia Shangzhou greeted “Boss” one after another.
Lin Jiage nced at the two of them in surprise for a second before questioning, “You two are heading out?”
Xia Shangzhou: “I am apanying Little Lai on his shopping trip.”
Lu Bei: “Boss, I have something to tell you. After all the hardships I have been through, I have finally found an opportunity to get closer to my wife!”
Xia Shangzhou: “It’s wife-to-be, not to mention that it’s one that has yet to be confirmed.”
Lu Bei: “Is there any difference between wife and wife-to-be?”
Xia Shangzhou: “My thickheaded grandson, how can they be the same thing?”
Lu Bei: “The heck! You unfilial grandson!”
“...”
Lin Jiage had long gotten used to the squabbles between these two. With a raise of his eyebrows, he strutted past the two of them and went to his seat.
Barely a second after he sat down, Xia Shangzhou began on his usual incessant chatter, “Boss, let me share with you what happened yesterday. I was having some cold noodles with Little Lai off campus when we bumped into the girl Little Lai is interested in. Little Lai immediately whipped out the love letter he had crafted a month ago but had not been able to muster the courage to give out, and finally handed it to her. Try guessing what happened next!”
Lu Bei: “Shut your mouth, grandson!”
Xia Shangzhou conveniently ignored the protests from Lu Bei and continued gleefully, “That girl did not even bother throwing Little Lai a glimpse and gave him a straight-off rejection. But our Little Lai still shamelessly insisted on handing the letter to her…”

Lu Bei: “How is that shameless? That should be called determination instead!”
“... In the end, that girl got so annoyed by Little Lai that she epted it. You don’t know how happy it made Little Lai! But within the next second, the girl tossed the letter into a nearby rubbish bin! Our disappointed Little Lai went up to her and asked why she had thrown the letter away without reading it. The girl remarked coldly that since the letter was given to her, she had the liberty to do whatever she wanted with it. Immediately after, she ced her chopsticks down, footed the bill, and left. You should have seen that stiffened face of Little Lai then!”
Without any sense of empathy, Xia Shangzhou roared in thunderousughter.
Lu Bei: “What are youughing at? Is it that funny to you?”
Xia Shangzhou: “Of course! I got to see my grandson embarrassing himself. That in itself is worth augh! Hahahaha!?What can you do about it? You can’t defeat me. I am just that powerful?<sup>1</sup>?…”
Lu Bei: “Oh dear, my grandson is losing his mind…”
“Boss! I am not finished yet! Do you know why Little Lai is going shopping now? It’s because he caught wind of the news that the girl will be attending the French elective ss tomorrow. He made the instantaneous decision to attend it as well, saying that this will help to strengthen their bond. She didn’t even want to spare a glimpse at his love letter and he still wants to attend the ss together with her. Strengthen their bond… HAHAHAHAHA…”
Even after Xia Shangzhou recovered from hisughter, his sharp jabs didn’t cease, “... Little Lai, pardon my frankness, but have you paid off your loans yet? Are you sure you can afford the clothes to impress your goddess?”
Lu Bei confidently replied, “We shouldn’t allow ourselves to be bogged down by material concerns.”
After saying those words, he turned to Lin Jiage and asked, “Boss, do you want to join us on our shopping trip?”
Without a second thought, Lin Jiage replied, “No.”
At the same time, Xia Shangzhou chipped in, “Boss, Little Junior will also be attending the ss.”
Lin Jiage decisively changed his stance, “Let’s go.”
