Dad's Dad Is Grandpa

After a while, Aunt Cuiping picked up Shen Nuo Fei and took her back to the academician's villa.

Upon seeing Nuofei, Old Shen happily picked up his eldest granddaughter and exclaimed, "Nuofei is getting more and more beautiful! It's truly the effect of excellent genes!"

Nofi's big, bright eyes looked at Old Shen with curiosity.

"You little rascal, your eyes can talk." Old Shen could tell from Nofi's eyes that his eldest granddaughter missed him very much.

It's often said that grandparents and grandchildren are closer, and Old Shen was quite pleased, after all, Nofi is his own granddaughter. She is close to her grandfather from the bottom of her heart. A year of separation did not widen the distance between the two generations. The blood ties that are thicker than water transcend the age gap of more than fifty years.

Nofi became increasingly interested in Old Shen, and she asked, "Who are you?"

Pfft~

Old Shen coughed up blood from his internal organs. He squeezed Nofi's chubby little hand and said softly, "I am your grandfather, and grandfather is father's father."

"Oh, Grandpa." Nofi quickly learned a new word based on the object in front of her—Grandpa.

When Nofi was one year old, she couldn't say "Grandpa" yet, but now Nofi calls out "Grandpa" so clearly and melodiously that Old Shen is overjoyed. "Nofi called Grandpa! Nofi is so great!"

This was the first time in Old Shen's life that he had heard his grandchildren call him "Grandpa." People who have never been grandfathers cannot understand the extraordinary sense of accomplishment of three generations living together.

Old Shen shifted his position, sat on the sofa, and held Nofi on his lap, asking, "Nofi, did you miss Grandpa?"

Nofi shook her head and said, "No."

Pfft~

Old Shen coughed up internal blood again. He stroked Nofi's hair and said kindly, "You little rascal, you're so naughty."

"This girl is quite mischievous." Shen Qi squatted down in front of Nuofei and asked, "Nuofei, how many meals did you eat at kindergarten today?"

Nofi spread out her small palm. "Five meals."

Pfft!

This time, it was Shen Qi and Ou Ye who vomited blood.

Yesterday, Nofi ate breakfast at home, then went to kindergarten. She ate four meals at kindergarten and then had dinner after returning home.

Shen Qi and his wife felt that things couldn't continue like this, so they asked Aunt Cuiping to make a bento box, a meal's worth, and took it to the kindergarten to give to Teacher Yan. They told Teacher Yan that the lunchbox contained Nuofei's lunch, and that it could be heated up at noon. Nuofei could only eat one proper meal at the kindergarten today, and asked Teacher Yan to supervise her.

If I had to nitpick about Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten, it would be that the teachers there are too soft-hearted and spoil the children too much.

Old Shen, however, sided with Nofi: "Children need plenty of nutrition to grow. What's wrong with Nofi eating a few more meals?"

Shen Qi shrugged and said, "The problem is, Nofi is eating too much and is already overnourished. If this continues, she'll become an obese child..."

"Hmph!" Nofi was annoyed with her father again. She snuggled into her grandfather's arms, realizing that he was on her side.

"Alright, alright, a few more meals won't kill you. Nofi isn't fat at all. I think her figure is just right." Old Shen forcefully defended Nofi's right to eat.

Now that his father's father has spoken, what can Shen Qi do?

Old Shen adored his clever granddaughter, Nuofei. He said it was stuffy inside and he wanted to get some fresh air, so he carried his granddaughter to the courtyard outside.

The grandfather and granddaughter were given a chance to be alone. Old Shen smiled kindly and asked, "Nofi, is Grandpa better, or is Dad better?"

"Hello, Grandpa," Nofi said without hesitation.

"Haha, she really is my good granddaughter!" Old Shen was overjoyed. He wished he could take Nuofei back to Nangang City so that he could take care of her day and night and truly show his love as an old man.

"Nofi, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Old Shen asked in a very low voice, secretly glancing into the villa, afraid that Shen Qi would suddenly appear and snatch away his precious granddaughter.

Nophie looked puzzled. "?."

Old Shen patiently and earnestly persuaded, "What Grandpa means is, when you grow up, do you want to be like your parents, or like Grandpa? Don't be afraid, don't worry, tell Grandpa your true feelings. In this family, Grandpa is the most important person."

Even though Nofi is very smart, it's difficult for Old Shen to explain the difference between a scientist and an entrepreneur to her. After all, Nofi is only two years old and can hardly understand what a scientist does or what an entrepreneur does.

Old Shen used the simplest method to get to the bottom of things, asking Nofi whether she wanted to be like her parents or her grandfather.

The clever boy fell into deep thought, unable to fathom Nophie's current state of mind.

After a moment, Nophie gave her answer, "Grandpa, I'm hungry."

"Hungry again?" Old Shen couldn't quite put his finger on it; who did Nofi inherit her enormous appetite from?

"Let's eat." Nophie's eyes lit up with longing.

Perhaps because Nofi was truly hungry, no matter how much Old Shen asked her, he couldn't get any information out of her about what kind of person she wanted to be when she grew up.

The next day, Old Shen volunteered to take on the task of picking up and dropping off Nuofei at kindergarten for the next few days.

"Dad, you're such a big boss, with official business to attend to. How could I dare to waste your precious time?" Shen Qi said.

"I've toiled my whole life, struggling to raise you. I've endured so much hardship and toil, but I've never complained, because I dared not. Being a man isn't easy; no matter how tough it is, I never say a word. Now, I'm an old man in my twilight years, and my only wish is to spend more time with my granddaughter. How can you be so heartless as to deprive this old man of the last remaining right?" Old Shen sighed deeply, lamenting that even a hero in his twilight years is worse than a dog. He added that all sons are the same; parents are always busy for their children, but children never think of their parents.

"Fine, fine, do whatever you want." Shen Qi had no choice; filial piety came first in everything.

Shen Qi has it tough too; he has elderly parents to care for, young children to raise, and his wife is in poor health.

In this family, Shen Qi discovered that he was the one with the lowest status.

Old Shen happily hugged Nofi in his arms and said to Cuiping, "Cuiping, you go ahead with your work, I'll take care of Nofi."

Cuiping could only say okay, okay, after all, Old Shen was like an emperor emeritus.

Old Shen called over a subordinate who drove an Audi that their company had long-term leased in the capital. He and Nofi sat in the back, heading to Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten.

Teacher Yan from the junior class noticed that Shen Nuo Fei really had a lot of status. This was Nuofei's third day of kindergarten, and every day the people who brought her there were different, and the cars were different too. The day before yesterday it was an SUV-style Mercedes-Benz, yesterday it was a sporty BMW, and today it was a business-like Audi. It seems that Nuofei is the little princess of the family, showered with love and affection.

"You must be Teacher Yan. I'm Nofi's grandfather. I'll be picking Nofi up and dropping her off these days." Old Shen appeared as an elderly man in front of Shen Qi, but to outsiders, he was a distinguished and successful entrepreneur. He handed Teacher Yan a business card, exuding an extraordinary aura of a businessman with every gesture.

Book Recommendation: <Rebirth Dominator>. The protagonist searches for the truth of the world through repeated deaths and rewinds. It avoids clichés and forced displays of power, with a natural and fluid writing style. The subtle, understated power is most lethal. It belongs to the "behind-the-scenes mastermind controls everything" genre, boasting a wildly imaginative and logically sound concept. The author's previous book, <Low-Dimensional Game>, was astonishing, and <Rebirth Dominator>, currently being serialized, is equally anticipated.
