n order to prepare a gift for her great-grandfather whom she was about to meet for the first time, Lin Momo stayed up very late.

However, the next day, Lin Momo was so excited that she still got up very early in the morning.

From the closet, Lin Momo picked the clothes that she thought were the most beautiful, put them on, and carefully combed her hair to be neat and tidy.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin Momo smiled brightly and praised herself, “Good, very beautiful.” She nodded with satisfaction before she turned around and started to pack other things.

… …

When Lin Cheng got up, he saw that Lin Momo had already changed her clothes and was standing by the front door, looking all neat and tidy, very much ready to go.

The corner of Lin Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and he said, “Put down the schoolbag first.”

Hearing this, Lin Momo shook her head and said, “I will carry it out soon anyway.”

Lin Cheng looked at the time and had no choice but to say again, “Eat breakfast first, and then we’ll set off after.”

“Oh.”

Seeing Lin Momo reluctantly put down her schoolbag, Lin Cheng turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

… …

At the dining table, Lin Momo finished her bowl of noodles quickly, drank a large glass of milk, and then began to stare at Lin Cheng sitting across her.

At this time, Lin Cheng was eating breakfast unhurriedly while holding a mobile phone in one hand and handling some work.

This relaxed scene made Lin Momo a little anxious, but she didn’t know how to hurry her dad.

Perhaps it was because Lin Momo’s gaze on him was so intense, but it was difficult for Lin Cheng not to notice.

Realizing that his daughter seemed to be looking at him, Lin Cheng raised his head.

Lin Cheng met Lin Momo’s eyes and found that her gaze was fully telegraphing ‘C’mon Dad, eat faster!’. Lin Cheng’s mouth twitched again.

“It’s still early. Grandpa hasn’t gotten up yet at this time. Let’s go a little later.” Lin Cheng looked at the time and said, “We’ll set off in another quarter of an hour.”

“Okay…”

… …

Lin Momo spent a very long 15 minutes holding Lin Cheng’s mobile phone for him.

Finally, after much waiting, Lin Cheng finished putting away the dishes, changed his clothes, and led her out of the house.

Along the way, Lin Momo looked very excited, peering out of the car window, and from time to time she would pop out a line or two from the theme song of [Living with Dad].

However, it didn’t take long for Lin Momo to gradually become quiet.

Realizing that Lin Momo suddenly stopped talking, Lin Cheng lowered his head and glanced at her.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng raised his hand and rubbed Lin Momo’s head.

“Well, it’s just…”

Lin Momo wrung her little fingers and lowered her head in confusion for a while, then looked up at Lin Cheng and asked cautiously, “What if great-grandpa doesn’t like me?”

When Lin Momo said this, her voice was filled with tension and uneasiness: What if her great-grandfather didn’t like her and was unhappy when he saw her?

Seeing Lin Momo’s worry, Lin Cheng’s heart tightened, and he gave Lin Momo a firm answer, “No, your great-grandpa already likes you very much.”

Hearing this, Lin Momo’s eyes lit up, and she turned around again. She asked still with some uncertainty, “Really?”

“Yeah, really,” Lin Cheng nodded and added, “You have actually met Grandpa before.”

“I have?” Lin Momo said in disbelief, eyes wide.

Just when Lin Momo was about to ask when she met her great-grandfather, and how come she didn’t seem to know this, the driver’s voice came from the front seat.

“Young Master, we’re here.”

At this time, the car had already entered the gates of Lin family’s manor.

Seeing Lin Cheng’s car drive in, the security personnel at the door came out to greet him.

Inside the manor.

At this time, Old Master Lin was sitting in his garden sulking.

Butler Zhou came forward and addressed Old Master Lin.

“Old master, the eldest young master is here,” Butler Zhou said with a smile.

However, Old Master Lin was still angry because he didn’t see his precious great-granddaughter when he went to the airport yesterday. He didn’t pay any attention to what Butler Zhou said.

Old Master Lin waved his hands indifferently and said, “If he wants to come home then he should just come. What’s the matter? Do you think I have to go and greet him at the front door when he comes home?”

“And there is no food for him in this house, so why is that brat here?” Old Master Lin straightened up from the recliner. He wanted to say more words to show his dissatisfaction.

“Let him get out of here.”

Butler Zhou coughed and quietly reminded, “Ahem, he’s already here.”

Hearing this, Old Master Lin turned around only to see Lin Cheng, who was indeed already standing next to Butler Zhou.

Looking at Lin Cheng, the many words that Old Master Lin still had to say got stuck in his throat— he seemed to have seen a small figure nervously moving out from behind Lin Cheng!

Two pairs of eyes met, one big and one small.

“!”

Old Master Lin was stunned at first, and then his entire facial expression changed from disdain and impatience to happy surprise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Xiao Momo! Oh, it’s our Xiao Momo.” Old Master Lin stood up from the recliner excitedly and leaned over to look at Lin Momo.

Seeing the old man in front of her, Lin Momo was dumbfounded.

“You— weren’t you the improper fan that day—” Was great-grandpa the improper fan?

Hearing the words ‘improper fan’, Old Master Lin’s excited face couldn’t help but flash with embarrassment.

After returning from where Lin Cheng lived that day, Old Master Lin specifically asked Zhou Ming and several young people what an ‘improper fan’ meant. After learning the true meaning of this term—the old man felt very bad.

“Well, I’m not an improper fan. I’m your father’s grandfather, and Momo’s great-grandfather,” the old man explained to Lin Momo in a gentle tone, trying to erase the label of ‘improper fan’ from his great-granddaughter’s mind.

At this time, Lin Momo’s mind was filled with the thought that the improper fan was her great-grandfather, and her great-grandfather was the improper fan—and she was still a little confused…

So Old Master Lin quickly explained, “Grandpa went to the small restaurant to see you, and I also went to the place where you and your father live, because Grandpa has been missing our Xiao Momo so much and couldn’t wait to see you.”

It must be said that the love and excitement in the old man’s eyes were not adulterated at all. Feeling the old man’s kindness, Lin Momo suddenly beamed at Old Master Lin.

“I’ve always wanted to meet my great-grandfather,” Lin Momo said—and she did, ever since she found the name ‘Lin Yuanchang’ in her household registration book.

Hearing what Lin Momo said, Old Master Lin’s heart seemed to bloom with happiness, and his whole face suddenly blossomed with joy.

“Good, good, good” Old Master Lin said the word ‘good’ several times in a row, and then said, “I have prepared a lot of gifts for our Momo.

“Come on, let’s go, come see it with great-grandpa,” Old Master Lin urged excitedly, and quickly led Lin Momo into the house.

He didn’t bother with the cane that was left next to the recliner, nor with Lin Cheng who had been standing there the whole time.
