"She was a friend of my grandfather, and she saved my life once. We relied on each other during the hardest times," Xia Jingfu explained.
"So, is she married?" Shi Niannian asked, feeling that something was off.
Xia Jingfu shook his head.
"She never married. She was not hoping to marry you, was she!" Shi Niannian exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Jingfu tapped Shi Niannian's forehead, "What are you thinking about? I have a wife and daughter; how could I marry another? These years, I've been looking for your grandmother and mother."
Xia Wen and Xia Wu exchanged glances. Their newfound niece could guess Auntie Sang's feelings even though their father pretended not to notice.
"Does Granny Sang live here too?"
Shi Niannian clearly didn't believe Xia Jingfu's words. A man and woman knew each other for so long, both single, and seemed to get along well. Could there really be nothing going on?
"She has a house nearby."
Shi Niannian remarked, "Oh, so she is a neighbor."
