Seraphine had barely taken a step outside her mansion before she came to a complete halt, her body stiffening as she took in the scene before her.
Her grandfather, Lucios Vaeldrinn Valerio, was sitting there, drinking and chatting casually with Qingyi.
The old man's eyes shifted slightly, landing on her.
"Hey, granddaughter! So it was because of this guy that you rejected all the marriage proposals I arranged for you, huh? You've truly made your grandpa very proud, hahaha!" The old man laughed loudly.
His face was filled with amusement as he watched Seraphine's cheeks change color, turning an intense, fiery red.
She looked away, shuddering.
"Grandpa... this... this isn't..." She stammered, unable to form words.
"It's okay, kid." Lucios stood up. "Ugh... these old bones..." He grunted softly, cracking his back.
"This old man approves of your choice." He smiled. "I've already got one foot in the grave, I can't keep meddling in the hearts of the young."
