"Huh?" Grandmother Qi raised her head and looked to her great-grandson. "You're talking about your uncle's girlfriend? You've seen her before?"
"Of course!" Qi Youxuan gobbled up the rest of the ham. With bulging cheeks, he nodded and mumbled incoherently, "Auntie's really nice."
Grandmother Qi became extremely happy when she heard that.
Qi Youxuan had always been wary of strangers. The outside world called him an illegitimate child because he had been motherless since young.
Things had improved much since then. No one dared bully him because his great grandfather had taken a more open stand on things.
Back then, however, when Qi Youxuan was still referred to as the illegitimate child. Many looked down on him. It was a shadow that had burdened him since a young age, and it led him to be particularly wary of outsiders, most of whom he would not accept so readily.
Jian Yi was one such example.
