Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

The old lady smiled and said, “Sonny is very sensible and well behaved. When he is naughty, he is really naughty. As long as he is quiet, he must be causing trouble.”

Serenity took over the conversation. “One time, he was playing by himself quietly, and I wanted to see what he was playing with, but it turned out that he was playing with my skin care products and makeup, and the lipstick was all over the table and the floor. He even painted his mouth and face with it, which made me laugh and cry.”

Imagining the scene, everyone laughed.

Sonny felt embarrassed by everyone’s laughter, so he buried his head in Old Mr. Jimenez’s arms and called softly, “Great Grandpa, my aunt laughed at me.”

Old Mr. Jimenez’s heart melted when he was called “Great Grandpa.” He immediately protected Sonny and said to Serenity, “Miss Serenity, don’t laugh at Sonny. Children are like this when they are young. Your mother was also very naughty when she was young. When your mother was a child, she would pour out the owner’s collection of fine wine, smash the bottles, and cut everywhere with a pair of small scissors. I don’t know how many of our clothes were damaged by her. Later, Madam Matriarch told everyone to put the scissors up high so that Harlow couldn’t get them. Sonny inherited his grandmother’s mischievousness.”

Serenity laughed. “That’s the energy to get into trouble. My mom loved getting into trouble when she was little. In our memory, my mom is a very gentle person, very filial, and has a very good relationship with my dad. But filial children are often not the most beloved children of their parents.”

When she finished speaking, Serenity’s smile disappeared.
