When Shi Guang got to the hospital, grandma was sitting by the balcony, looking out at the clear, blue skies. She looked a little dazed, as though she had sunken into the recesses of her memories.

Even though they were clearly very close—Shi Guang was merely a few steps away from her—for some reason, she felt really distant from grandma at this moment. It was as though grandma might just leave her for all eternity in the very next second.

She placed the thermal flask in her hands down and walked over, hugging the nape of grandma’s neck gently and tenderly. Grandma came back to her senses and smiled out blissfully. “You’re here, Littly!”

Shi Guang smiled out as well. “How are you today, grandma?”

“Good, good,” she turned around. Seeing that the other was alone, grandma asked, “Where’s Little Chen?”

Shi Guang’s body stiffened for a moment before smiling out. “He’s busy, and will be here in a bit. Because he’s preparing to open his own company, he’s particularly busy these days. However, he did insist that I make soup for you, and said that he would come visit the moment he’s free.”

“Once grandma feels a little better, I’ll go visit him myself instead,” Grandma sniggered out. She paused for a moment before asking again, “Right, since you guys are going to get married, I’m sure the elders of both families would have to meet first. Because it’s quite inconvenient for me right now, could you discuss with Little Chen and see if you guys could hold it back a little for that?”

Shi Guang nodded her head with a smile. “There’s no hurry.”

Truly, it was as Lu Yanchen had said—there was no way grandma would just wait and do nothing about it at all.

Once she got better in the days to come, she might really…

Her heart sank down as she did not dare to chat with grandma anymore about it, changing the topic hurriedly. “Grandma, let me push you to the garden for a walk!”

“Sure!”

…

At the time Shi Guang was going to leave, her auntie sent her off. Outside the ward, Mo Ziying spoke, “It’s quite expensive staying at a hospital here. Your grandma’s intention is to move back to the county.”

Shi Guang disagreed, “No! Grandma has just been through such a major surgery. She has to stay here for a month at least. I’ll think about something regarding the money.”

Mo Ziying patted her hand, assuring her, “Don’t worry about the money. Your sister’s medical fees are already enough for you to worry about. I’ll take care of grandma’s. What I want to ask from you is to talk to grandma when you come tomorrow. Persuade her to not think about rushing back. She listens to you the most.”

“Alright, auntie!” Shi Guang smiled and nodded her head. Suddenly, she caught sight of Yang Chifeng walking over in the corridor with a fruit basket.

Stunned, Shi Guang thought that she was seeing things.

She stopped her conversation with her auntie and sent her back into the ward before marching forth. She stopped some distance away from her grandma’s ward before glaring at Yang Chifeng warily.

Even though she did not know why he was here, she was certain that he wasn’t here to visit anyone else—he was here for her grandma.

Yang Chifeng welcomed Shi Guang’s wary look with a helpless grin.

Logically, he should not come looking for her anymore since he had failed at seducing her. But, for some unknown reason, he just could not stop thinking of her, and did not want to let up any single chance.

“Why do you have to behave like a porcupine? I heard that your grandma is sick, and hence, I’m here to visit her.”

“There’s no need!!” Shi Guang rejected him with hostility. Even though there was no expression on her face, she exuded forth a spine chilling frost.

“Why are you rejecting the kindness of others as such…?”

“I don’t need the kindness of anyone from the Yangs,” Shi Guang cut through his sentence curtly while narrowing her gaze at him. She scoffed out in a cold, low voice, “You and your sister, as well as everyone from the Yangs… please get as far away from my family as possible!”
