Translator: 549690339

I lai Zhiyuan was a bit surprised and delighted, “Xiaotang said you were away on a business trip. When did you get back? How did you know we would arrive today? Xiaotang told you, didn’t she?”

Dongfang Yu glanced at Hai Xiaotang with amusement, unhesitatingly exposing her lie.

“Grandpa, I haven’t been away on any business trip recently. 1 found out you were returning today by checking your itinerary.”

Hai Xiaotang:”…”

In an instant, Hai Zhiyuan knew that Hai Xiaotang had lied.

She probably lied so she could accompany him to B City.

Or it could be that she had a disagreement with Dongfang Yu…

But, like they say, old ginger is spicier. Hai Zhiyuan said nothing, taking it in stride. “It’s nice of you to come to greet us. Let’s go, let’s go home!”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t hesitate, quickly helping her grandfather into the car. Dongfang Yu held the car door for them, every bit the courteous gentleman. Before getting in the car, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but give him a resentful glance.

How childish of him. Was it really necessary to expose her lie?

Luckily, Grandpa didn’t ask about it. She knew Grandpa would take her side.

Dongfang Yu curled his lip in disdain. This woman deserved a disciplinary action!

On their way back, it was Dongfang Yu and the old man who chatted.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t say a word, leaning against the car door and pretending to be exhausted.

Hai Zhiyuan glanced at her, then praised, “I owe much to Xiaotang for accompanying me on this trip. If she hadn’t been there to take care of me, this old body would have definitely given out. She not only took care of me, but also my old war buddy…”

He then recounted everything Hai Xiaotang had done during this period.

Dongfang Yu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Was Hai Xiaotang truly this kind and filial?

Yet, there was no reason for the old man to lie to him. Moreover, from his expression, everything he said seemed to be true.

Hai Zhiyuan was very pleased. “In this period, it seems like my Xiaotang has finally matured. Although my old comrade has passed away, 1 am still happy.” Dongfang Yu took a long, assessing look at Hai Xiaotang.

Indeed, even he had noticed she had changed recently.

However, her ability to provoke him remained all too intact!

Dongfang Yu first dropped off the old man at his house.

Hai Zhiyuan was so fatigued by the journey that he went to rest as soon as he got home.

Hai Xiaotang had no option but to go back with Dongfang Yu.

The entire way, Hai Xiaotang remained silent, looking out of the window.

Dongfang Yu effortlessly steered the car, then turned to glance at her. “Hai Xiaotang, you left home without permission for half a month. Don’t you have anything to say after seeing me?”

Hai Xiaotang casually glanced at him. “What is there to say? I have nothing to say.”

“No?” Dongfang Yu sneered.

Hai Xiaotang stared at him, puzzled. “You specifically came to the airport to pick us up, just to ask this?”

“…” He didn’t really know why he had gone to pick them up.

Maybe it was because he wanted to have it out with her right away!

Dongfang Yu twirled the steering wheel and said coldly, “You left home without my permission. I initially wanted to punish you for that. But since it’s in front of Grandpa, I’ll let you off this time.”

Hai Xiaotang laughed incredulously, “On what grounds can you punish me?” “Did I allow you to go out for half a month?”

“Are you trying to control me?” Hai Xiaotang felt even more ridiculous.

“Dongfang Yu, we may not yet be divorced, but you always treat me like a stranger. Don’t you think it’s hypocritical of you to suddenly be controlling now?”

Dongfang Yu gave her a frowning glance, “What I consider you as is none of your business.. You only need to remember one thing, until we’re divorced, I still have every right to control your actions!”
