Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 3

Chapter 590: He's Fallen In Love!

Lisa waited in the car with Leo while Jennie rushed to her grandfather.

She avoided the morning crowd and walked directly to the backyard of the temple, then she saw a familiar silhouette standing together with a middle-aged couple. They should be Mino's parents, she thought to herself.

"Grandfather..."

"Jennie, come over here!" Zhiyuan quickly called out to her granddaughter.

"Grandfather Xi, Uncle, Aunty..." Jennie greeted them, feeling apprehensive.

The three Xi family members welcomed her warmly. Mother Xi even held Jennie's hands as if she was their savior. She gushed, "Are you Jennie? You look like a really obedient and filial child. Mino has been telling us all about you after you got back!"

Jennie was surprised by the praises coming from his mother as she had expected a good scolding instead.

"Please don't be afraid, my dear. Your grandfather was overreacting over the phone just now. We all know that this matter is not related to you. Mino told us last night that he felt the both of you are better suited as friends..."

With a huge internal whoosh, Jennie felt relieved and guilty at the same time.

She was suspecting that Mino had spilt the beans about their deal but he had not said anything and even praised her instead.

Damn it! She had hoped that he was just another rich playboy since she could handle them better but...

Mother Xi continued to hold her hands as she said with tearful red eyes, "We didn't really mean to trouble you here. It's just that we've thought of everything we could but we still don't understand why he decided to become a monk, so we asked you to come here as our last hope! From his tone last night, I can see that he really bears a torch for you, so I think he might just listen to you. Would you please persuade Mino for me?"

Elder Xi spoke up, "Bears a torch? Pfft! I bet that boy has fallen in love with Jennie instead of just admiring her! He rejected me when I first told him that I have arranged a blind date for him but his attitude took a 180 degree turn when he knew it was Jennie I was setting him up with."

"Then, why did he say Jennie wasn't his type and that they were better suited as friends?" Mother Xi asked in confusion.

Father Xi vocalized his thoughts, "Our son is a passive chap. He'd never compete with anyone. Moreover, he's been learning about Buddhism since he was young, making him even less competitive...I bet he realized that Jennie had no special feelings for him whatsoever, so he chose to hide his real feelings inside!"

The elders started making their own assumptions without waiting for Jennie's explanation.

Mother Xi agreed with Father Xi's analysis, "Mino might really resort to this solution after all that...it does sound plausible."

Father Xi said, his voice on edge, "I've been worried that this would happen one day since he has been obsessed with studying Buddhism. I should have stopped him earlier while I could!"
