She had an inexplicable premonition that this opportunity would be a turning point in her life.
For the next two days, Hai Xiaotang lived quietly.
She thought that her uncle and aunt would insist on her asking for compensation.
Thankfully, they didnât bother her and let her be.
Hai Xiaotang spent the next two days comfortably. She intended to ponder what to study, but long-term inactivity had duller her mind.
For a moment, she genuinely did not know what interested her.
However, she decided to stop worrying about what to study and chose to spend time at home with her grandfather.
Hai Xiaotang felt as if sheâd returned to her childhood. Those worry-free days when she was blissfully ignorant of lifeâs complexities, she would simply eat, drink, and spend time with her grandfather.
She used to think that lifestyle was boring, yet now it felt like happiness.
The weather was at its hottest, and Hai Zhiyuanâs appetite wasnât great, so dinner was served late.
Hai Xiaotang had specially requested the kitchen to prepare a few appetizing cold dishes, hoping her grandfather would eat more.
However, just as they were about to eat, a servant announced that Dongfang Yu had arrived.
Hai Xiaotang was stunned, thinking she had heard wrong.
But in the next second, Dongfang Yu was already in the dining room.
Seeing him, Hai Xiaotang felt a bit dazed.
It felt like they hadnât seen each other for a long time.
It was as if she had forgotten about him, which made it feel like a long time.
Dongfang Yu glanced at her, feeling the same way.
However, because he was constantly thinking about her, it felt like they hadnât seen each other for ages.
In reality, they had only been apart for two days!
âAyu, what brings you here?â Hai Zhiyuan greeted with a smile, treating him no differently than before, as if they hadnât divorced.
Dongfang Yu laughed, âIâve been busy these two days and havenât had the chance to visit you. Iâm free the next few days, so I came today. Grandpa, I brought you some nutritious foods, and your favourite Longjing tea.â
Hai Zhiyuan chuckled, âYouâre always so polite. Have you eaten? Sit down and eat with us.â
Dongfang Yu agreed amiably, âI just got off work, I havenât eaten yet.â
Hai Zhiyuan immediately ordered the servant to add a set of dishes and chopsticks.
Hai Xiaotang gave Dongfang Yu a quick glance, wondering why he was still here.
They were divorced; didnât he feel awkward coming here?
Moreover, why did he have to come so late, right at their dinner time?
Furthermore, the food at her house didnât suit his taste, so why did he stay behind?
Not only did Dongfang Yu stay, but he also ate without any reservations.
The old man ate slowly, and Dongfang Yu leisurely followed his pace.
The two of them always had interesting topics to discuss.
They were invariably about national affairs, in which Hai Xiaotang had no interest.
âGrandpaâs appetite isnât very good?â Dongfang Yu suddenly asked.
Hai Zhiyuan laughed, âYou noticed that, huh?â
âYouâve been eating cold dishes, and you donât eat much.â
âThe weather is too hot; it has affected my appetite. Xiaotang is very considerate; she ordered the kitchen to prepare more cold dishes, otherwise, I would have even less appetite.â
Dongfang Yu chuckled, âMy mother sometimes faces appetite issues too, so we hired a chef at home who cooks delicious food. Iâll arrange for him to come over tomorrow and cook until your appetite improves..â
