576 Can't Bear to?
Gu Xiaonan recognized the voice and, upon seeing the person's face, dashed out in excitement.
Qian Huan and Qian Xi couldn't stop him in time.
"Grandpa Han!"
Gu Xiaonan rushed towards the man like a small cannonball, and with a loud "smack," he warmly embraced the man's thigh.
"Little rascal, missed me?"
The man in the black robe had a somewhat unruly face, and a faint smile appeared on it as he lifted the little guy high above his head.
Gu Xiaonan let out a tinkling laughter, "Missed you!"
His response was particularly cheerful.
The man in the black robe laughed loudly, very satisfied with Gu Xiaonan's answer.
He used his hand to lift Gu Xiaonan slightly and commented, "You've gotten chubby."
Gu Xiaonan stared at him discontentedly, his grape-like eyes wide open. "Not chubby, I've grown taller!"
The man in the black robe gave him a quick look, then put him back on the ground, bent down to look at him, and nodded with a smile. "Hmm, you have indeed grown taller!"
Gu Qingluan entered the courtyard and asked in surprise, "Uncle Han, how did you come here?"
The others in the courtyard finally regained their senses, and their eyes revealed their astonishment.
Xiaonan called this man "Grandpa," and their mistress referred to him as "Uncle." Could he really be an older gentleman?
Although his hair was completely white, his face looked too young to be that of a man in his forties. What kind of secret method could maintain his appearance so well?
As they contemplated this, their guard was slightly lowered.
Both the mistress and Xiaonan were familiar with him, so he couldn't be here to cause trouble.
The man with the white hair and black robe raised an eyebrow in displeasure and said, "You're getting married, and you didn't invite me. I had to come on my own."
Gu Qingluan felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "I thought you didn't like attending such events."
"Tsk, do you think I'm as easily fooled as that old man Huang?" Han Xaiohong snorted softly, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Gu Qingluan touched her nose and replied, "Actually, there's another ceremony on the groom's side in the future. I thought this wedding was a bit rushed, so I didn't invite you this time. I'll invite you when we're better prepared next time."
"Hmph, if I hadn't coincidentally heard about this, wouldn't it be too late, and that brat would have benefited for nothing?"
Han Xiaohong's expression turned displeased. A good girl like Little Qingluan shouldn't marry just anyone. At the very least, he should put them through a test.
"Grandpa Han, I've already tested him, and Daddy is very good to Mom."
At this moment, Gu Xiaonan suddenly spoke up for Feng Tianlan.
Han Xiaohong had already inquired about the groom's identity on his way here. He knew that the groom was Xiaonan's biological father and also the Royal Prince Lan of the Holy Heaven Dynasty. According to common sense, their union should lead to a happy ending.
However, as Gu Qingluan's elder, he viewed her just like his own daughter and believed that no young man was worthy of her, not even the Royal Prince Lan. In his eyes, everyone fell short, no matter how distinguished their status.
Seeing Gu Xiaonan siding Feng Tianlan, a glint of shrewdness passed through his narrow eyes. He bent down and patted Xiaonan's head, saying, "You're still young and don't understand. Many men are different before and after marriage."
Gu Xiaonan indeed didn't understand.
He had grown up on the Island of No Return and had never witnessed how men could change before and after marriage.
But he believed that his father wouldn't change, would he?
If his father dared to mistreat his mother, he would immediately take her and leave!
Han Xiaohong exuded a formidable aura, but the auspicious moment was approaching, and the groom was still outside. The matchmaker had to step forward reluctantly.
Han Xiaohong said, "I'll go meet the groom."
Hearing this, Gu Qingluan's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but call out, "Uncle Han!"
Han Xiaohong glanced back at her and asked, "What's wrong? You can't bear to?"
