Before Qi Yanci could speak, a middle-aged woman next to him answered with a smile.

"Dad, Xiaoci and the others have just gotten married. It's the time when they are newlyweds. They must have their own arrangements. Besides, if they stay suddenly, the room and toiletries must be prepared again. I'm afraid that if they don't take good care of them for a while, they will wrong the young couple."

This is a decent thing to say, but the meaning is obvious.

The smile on the old man's face faded a little.

Qi Yanci did not speak.

He sat there with a calm expression, as if he was too lazy to explain, and as if he didn't care what others thought.

Shi Xiahe glanced at him and knew that he couldn't remain silent at this time, so he took the first step and rolled his eyes.

"Grandpa is willing to keep us because he cares for A Ci and me, the new junior in the family."

She looked at the middle-aged woman and said in a gentle tone, "You are right to worry. Staying temporarily will really cause the family a lot of trouble. If we really want to stay, we can just make it simple without any extra trouble."

The woman frowned, but couldn't find anything wrong for the moment.

Shi Xiahe turned to look at the old man again, with a sweeter smile.

"But grandpa can't say that he is alone. There are so many people with you today. It's just that A Ci usually talks little and is not very good at being obedient. As a junior, I will say a few more words for him."

She paused and her voice became softer.

"In the future, as long as grandpa is willing, we will come back often to have dinner with you."

When the old man heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.

"Okay, grandpa, remember your words and come back often in the future."

He turned to look at Qi Yanci, pretending to be dissatisfied: "Look at you, your wife is not as good at caring for others."

Qi Yanci looked calm and did not refute.

He just raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xiahe.

The gaze was very light, but it paused for a moment longer.

After finishing the meal, the sky gradually became dark.

The guests dispersed one after another.

Qi Yanci did not say anything about leaving.

Shi Xiahe glanced at him and didn't dare to ask.

She just took it as her default to stay, and quietly sat with the old man in the living room to watch TV.

A program about disabled people's self-improvement is being shown on TV.

The old man looked at it and suddenly sighed.

"Xiaohe, don't look at Xiaoci's cold expression now. In fact, he has not had an easy life these years."

Shi Xiahe paused and subconsciously looked at Qi Yanci.

He was sitting on a single sofa not far away, his eyebrows lowered and his emotions could not be seen.

The old man's voice was lowered: "He went abroad when he was very young. He was alone outside with few people around him who could really talk to him. He never told his family about any hardships he had."

"Those people outside only know that he has a weird temper, a venomous mouth, and is unkind, but no one has thought about what a person must be forced to do to live like this."

Shi Xiahe's heart moved slightly.

It turns out that such indifferent people also have unknown difficulties.

The old man looked at her with a bit more solemnity in his eyes.

"Xiaohe, grandpa doesn't know how you got together, and he doesn't ask about that."

"But now that you have received the certificate, you are husband and wife. You two live your life together. If you can't help but listen to the gossip outside, don't listen to it."
