Hu Lei felt embarrassed when she heard the question. The old grandpa seemed like a grumpy and indifferent man who did not care about the world. But his curiosity about this matter was obvious. It looked like he would collapse if she did not respond.

She took a sip of tea while thinking about her answer. Under normal circumstances, she would not even consider saying anything about it. After all, information was powerful. Even though she had left behind that life, she understood that there were still people who would hurt her, given the chance.

On the other hand, she felt that Grandpa Huo was not just a common person. She did not feel guarded against him.

"It is alright if you do not want to tell me." The old man said grudgingly.

Hu Lei laughed a little. "Well, it is a big secret. Can you handle it?"

Seeing him looking depressed because of her long silence made her a little amused. It seemed like he was hurt by her failure to confide in him.

He nodded repeatedly, looking hopeful. "I can handle it. And I can keep a secret. An old man like me does not have time to gossip." There was a hint of proud smugness.

Hu Lei rolled her eyes. "Alright, it is like this. The caller was my husband."

Her cheeks became a little redder because she was shy. But the shine in her eyes and the glowing aura could only be attributed to happiness. When she said those words, she felt them resound in her mind and in her heart.

Old man Huo felt like he had been struck by tribulation lightning. He could not believe his own ears. Had his granddaughter said husband? No, no, it could not be possible. He had only met her and had not even had an opportunity to spoil her.

He had suspected that she was involved with that Zhong fox\'s grandson, but he had not thought that they had advanced that much. He had planned to introduce her to his old friends and watch them flatter him in an attempt to get a connection for their grandsons.

"What did you say?" He asked, hoping for a different answer.

"It was my husband. He was letting me know that he is about to come pick me up." She smiled with happiness.

The happiness made Elder Huo feel both happy and sad. He could see that Hu Lei\'s life had been tough. It was good she had someone who made her smile. On the other hand, there was a distinct feeling of loss. He could never truly have a granddaughter.

Hu Lei\'s phone rang. She picked it without hesitation. "Come into the shop." She hung up.

Since she had already told Grandpa Huo about him, it would be good if they met directly. She had a sense that she would be visiting the old man regularly. "He is here."

Elder Huo felt like a second strike of tribulation lightning had descended on him. Not only did he learn about this husband, he also had to meet him? How could he pretend to like the brat before he came to terms with the information?

There was a knock on the door. Hu Lei stood up and rushed to open the door, leaving a hand lifted in the air towards her, as if hoping to stop the inevitable meeting. But the girl was preternaturally fast.

She opened the door and smiled like the sun toward the man at the door before pulling his hand, dragging him into the shop. He looked at her with helpless indulgence even as she tagged him with unnecessary roughness.

"Grandpa Huo, this is my husband, Zhong Feng." Her cheeks flushed but her pride was obvious.

Zhong Feng bowed with respect toward the elder. His expression was hidden, so Elder Huo could not figure out what the brat was thinking. But he got the sense that he was as cunning as his grandfather.

"Thank you for taking care of my family\'s Xiao Lei. I apologise if she has caused a lot of disturbance." Zhong Feng spoke suddenly.

Hu Lei japed her elbow into his abdomen. Did he think that she could cause trouble? She was obviously a delight to everyone she graced with her presence.

"Oh no, it is no trouble. She has been helpful. I consider her to be my granddaughter." The old man got annoyed at the tone of the brat. It was like he was declaring that Hu Lei only belonged to his family. How could he bear to hear that?

Zhong Feng lifted an amused and mysterious brow at the old man. There was something in his eyes which aid that he knew more than he was letting on. At least, that is what Elder Huo felt as he faced the younger man. He coughed at the annoying knowing look. For some reason, this unwanted grandson-in-law seemed even more powerful than his fox grandfather.

"My grandfather is enjoying your tea immensely. He said that he must drop in to check on the great master behind it." Zhong Feng continued as if he did not see the grandpa\'s discomfort.

With those words, a thousand arrows pierced the good elder\'s heart.

He felt like that the Zhong family had been placed in the world to torment him. But this time, it was just too much. It was even worse than when he and the old fox were young, fighting over a girl they both loved.

This time, he had lost even before the battle begun.

"I will be waiting for him." He responded with clenched teeth.

Hu Lei could that there was something happening beneath the surface, but she could not figure it out. Her head tilted mulling over the conversation. She could not find anything amiss, so she looked at Zhong Feng in question. He smiled and rubbed her head softly.

She felt like biting him. But she could only wait until they were alone.

"Grandpa, we are leaving now. I will come visit you again when I have time. But I will be busy for a while. Take care of yourself." Hu Lei said with a smile.

In the end, Elder Huo could only watch a wolf usher his cute granddaughter out of his shop. There was a grudge in his heart, but he also knew that he was to blame for how things were. If he had not been at odds with his son, if he had not been uncompromising, if he had been able to teach his son well, he might have known this wonderful girl.

But what could his regrets do?

It was already too late.
