Mo Wenjie looked at Huang Zengtian's awkward expression and smiled gently at Huang Ling'er. He thinks, "let's not make things difficult for grandfather. There must be some indispensable reasons for him." He suggests to Huang Ling'er, "tell your parents that I will wait for them after I pass the flight examination!"
Emperor Huang Zengtian, the great grandmother, heard what Mo Wenjie said. She secretly gave Mo Wenjie a thumbs up. This child really understands things well, and it is not impossible for him to be my grandson-in-law. This matter is thus decided, and I have no objection!
Huang Ling'er giggled, "Husband, don't worry about it. This is my family's heritage and about Old Huang. I will make him give you the flying authority today, or else we won't call him grandfather anymore. Let him decide who calls him grandfather; as long as there's no one so heartless in our family!
Emperor Huang Zengtian heard his granddaughter say this and was not pleased. "Huang Ling'er, how can you talk to your grandfather like that?" he said. "I have always treated you so well, but now you are so heartless. I am really disappointed!"
Huang Ling'er giggled and said, "Can't we stop pretending, Grandpa Huang? Just because you used to be kind to me doesn't mean I wasn't. I even called you grandpa every day before! Now that you don't love me anymore, why should I still call you grandpa? Let's just forget about the past. You've never been a cruel person, so why can't we do the same?" She continued, "So just kick me out of the Huang family already! I'm actually glad that you want to give me my freedom. Hurry up; our time is running out. Once you kick me out, I'll leave right away! Stop dawdling like an old woman; get this over with quickly! We've lived for nearly ten thousand years already; why can't we move a little faster?"
Mo Wenjie watched as Huang Ling'er addressed Emperor Huang Zengtian like this, and he really didn't know what to say. After all, he was just a would-be son-in-law and had not been accepted by the family yet. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to say too much here, but he also couldn't just keep silent. "Ling'er," he said, "maybe we should just let it go. We can wait; we're not in a rush after all. Why not wait until you pass the flight examination? Is it necessary to be like this? It's best not to quarrel with your family; otherwise, it wouldn't be good for anyone's heart!"
Huang Ling'er heard what Mo Wenjie said and giggled, "Husband, don't worry about it. I know what to do myself. If I can't even have a little privilege as a grandson's daughter, then I am not Emperor Huang Zengtian, am I? What is the difference between me and an ordinary person? Why not let him kick me out of the Huang family and become an ordinary person!"
Emperor Huang Zengtian felt a bit embarrassed after hearing Huang Ling'er's words. His granddaughter had been spoiled since she was young, and he had only given her money without any special privileges. He realizes that he owes her a lot, but he doesn't care now. Mo Wenjie is definitely going to pass the exam, and it's only a matter of a few days early. It doesn't break the rules either. So he took out a token and handed it to Huang Ling'er. "Take this," he said, "and never bother me again after this. Just seeing you makes me frustrated!"
Huang Ling'er took the token and glanced at it, then she giggled. "Old Huang, you've been planning this all along, trying to tease me. Do you think this is funny? Don't forget, I'm your granddaughter, and I'm the only one. Think about this; if you ever mistreat Mo Wenjie again, we'll both leave home and see if you still have a granddaughter!"
Emperor Huang Zengtian listened to his granddaughter's words and frowned. "Huang Ling'er, you're not a little girl anymore. Can you please start acting like a grown-up from now on?" he said. "Don't you worry about others laughing at you? Girls like you should know how to be modest and respectable. Don't act too impractical, or our family will be in trouble if the people from your family come looking for us!"
Huang Ling'er giggled when she heard what Emperor Huang Zengtian said. "Grandpa Huang, you're starting trouble. How could I ever treat my husband's parents poorly? They are my in-laws, and also my parents as Huang Ling'er. I would protect them with my life and never let them suffer a single moment of injustice!"
Emperor Huang Zengtian helplessly shook his head. "Truly, girls grow up and leave the nest." He said, "We have raised you this big and haven't found that you are particularly good to us. But you've known Mo Wenjie for just a few days, and you're already protecting your in-laws like this!"
Huang Ling'er giggled and said, "Grandpa, you're jealous? Why are you like this?" She continued, "I've taken care of you and your family for more than twenty years. You haven't noticed it at all. I haven't done anything to my in-laws yet, and you're already jealous. This is not good!"
Mo Wenjie watched as the grandfather and granddaughter bantered back and forth, feeling a bit awkward about joining in. However, he couldn't just let Huang Ling'er carry on like this. He looked at her and said, "Ling'er, shouldn't we go to Lan Yue City now?"
Huang Ling'er giggled, "Grandpa Huang, listen! Look at how responsible my husband is. As soon as he got the flying authority, he wants to visit my parents, your son and daughter-in-law. Now you see how sensible the son-in-law I found for you is! With such a good son-in-law, how could you not give him the flying authority? I really don't understand what's going through your mind?"
Emperor Huang Zengtian shook his head. "If I had no intention of giving him the flying authority, then what is this token in your hand? Why does it have his name on it! Could he already have passed the exam?" he asked. "I certainly know he can pass the exam, but I don't want him to be so flashy. It's better to be modest. Do you think I don't know I only have one granddaughter? I don't need you to remind me!"
Huang Ling'er giggled, "Grandpa Huang, I know I was wrong. You just need to say a few words and let it go. Don't keep pressing when you're right. We're not strangers; do we have to act like this? You're not afraid of making me angry, are you? Our child won't call you Great-Grandpa, see how worried you get!"
Emperor Huang Zengtian listened to his granddaughter's words and couldn't help but smile. "Generations are close no matter when or where," he said. "If we really don't want them to call me Great-Grandpa, it would be like killing them. I can't take the risk." He knew that Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er were about to get married, and he would soon become a great-grandfather. At this time, it would be the most foolish thing to offend his granddaughter, so he had no choice but to bear the insult and try to make her happy.
Mo Wenjie watched as the grandfather and granddaughter continued to bicker. He quickly stepped in to mediate, saying, "Ling'er, are we still going to Lan Yue City today? What are you fighting about? Is there no need to go see your parents today?"
Huang Ling'er giggled and replied, "Of course not, husband. You can rest assured; it won't be a waste of time. I've already made up my mind. When we leave here for Lan Yue City, it will be lunchtime. We'll have lunch there while chatting. After lunch, our conversation will be about done. Then we'll go to Fenghuang City and have dinner there. Once we've settled on the engagement date with my mother, we'll return to Fei Huang City, and the engagement banquet is definitely going to be held there. Grandpa Huang, shouldn't the costs of the engagement banquet be on you? If you want your grandchildren to happily call you Great-Grandpa, then you should get smart; don't always need reminding, that's just boring!"
Emperor Huang Zengtian burst into laughter, "I was waiting for you here, for my great-grandson's sake! I'll pay for the engagement banquet costs!"
Huang Ling'er giggled and said, "Not enough yet!"
