"Miss Shen, don't be afraid, your grandfather's got your back." The patriarch of the Lu Family glared at Lu Yixiao, then turned to Shen Xin and said, "Don't mind him, go on."
"Actually..." Shen Xin hesitated, lifting her eyes to gaze first at Lu Yixiao, then at the Lu Family patriarch, before continuing her account: "Actually..."
"Shen Xin! You're not allowed to continue!" Lu Yixiao stood abruptly and yelled at Shen Xin.
"Sit down!" The Lu Family patriarch slammed his hand on the table while yelling at Lu Yixiao, "What kind of secret are you keeping from me that Miss Shen can't reveal?"
"Grandfather..." Lu Yixiao glanced at him worriedly, then lowered his head.
"Brother Xiaxia..." Shen Xin softly called to him. She shivered involuntarily, then quickly regained her composure and continued, "We can only hide this for a while, not forever. It's not a way to go on like this forever, after all, I will get married someday..."
