However, her vision remained slightly blurred as she tried to focus her eyes.

She appeared like a person in a drowsy state, as if she had been waking up with her eyes shut.

Tang Moxi chuckled softly.

Then, he dialed Tang Yunxi’s number to inquire about Grandpa’s well-being.

After the call, he placed his phone back on the bedside table and embraced Liuli.

Is the sleepyhead finally waking up?”

“I still want to sleep!” Liuli mumbled groggily.

“Then go ahead and rest. You can join us for dinner later. You don’t have to come to Grandpa’s place tonight. I’ll handle it,” Tang Moxi reassured her.

Upon hearing the mention of Grandpa, Liuli immediately opened her eyes and insisted, “No, I want to come with you!”

“It’s just for one night, it won’t make a difference. Get some good rest now and you’ll feel better tomorrow. You can spend the day chatting and playing chess with Grandpa,” Tang Moxi comforted her.

“But 1 still want to go. I’m afraid Grandpa will be disappointed if he doesn’t see me tonight.”

“Grandpa likes me so much!”

“Liuli, are you planning to keep showing off this fact constantly even in the future?”

“Yes, yes, you will notice that,” Liuli replied with a smile.

She wasn’t embarrassed at all because she had been caught with a flaw. Instead, she was a little smug.

Tang Moxi looked at Liuli and smiled.

It was very difficult to not like such a cute girl!

Then get up and wash up. We’ll have dinner first before going to see Grandpa!”

“Oh, okay!” Liuli replied.

She rose from the bed and squinted for a few more seconds, gradually adjusting her vision before throwing back the covers and getting out of bed.

With half-closed eyes, she made her way to the bathroom to freshen up.

Once they had washed up and changed into clean clothes, the two of them headed to the dining area for dinner.

The butler, cook, and the rest had already returned from their annual leave and were back to work.

However, it was Tang Yanxi who had prepared tonight’s meal, with the cook offering guidance from the sidelines.

Tang Yanxi saw this as an opportunity to enhance her culinary skills, enabling her to cook more for Grandpa.

Wow, the spread today looks incredibly appetizing!” Liuli couldn’t help but feel her mouth watering.

“I prepared more dishes today. Aunt Lin has been teaching me how to cook,” Tang Yanxi replied with a smile.

“Well then, I must indulge myself!” Liuli responded, her smile widening.

“Please do!” Tang Yanxi nodded.

The three of them sat down and started to enjoy their meal.

Liuli picked up some food and began to eat.

After just a couple of bites, she heard Tang Yanxi ask, “How is it?”

Liuli looked up and met Tang Yanxi’s expectant gaze.

“It’s delicious!” Liuli exclaimed, mustering her enthusiasm.

Tell me the truth!” Tang Moxi interjected, playfully undermining her.

Liuli could not help but glare at Tang Moxi.

Sister-in-law, it’s fine. Just be honest with me so I can improve!” Tang Yanxi responded with a smile.

“It’s quite delicious, but the flavor could use a little more depth,” Liuli offered.

His own cooking skills were only average, so he didn’t feel qualified to critique others’ culinary abilities.

“Also, it’s a bit overcooked,” Tang Moxi chimed in.

Liuli wished she could sink into the floor beneath the table.

She genuinely wished she didn’t know Tang Moxi and could keep her distance from him.

“Yes, I also think the dishes lack crispness and could use a touch more salt. I’m afraid they’re slightly underseasoned and can’t be salvaged. I’ll improve next time,” Tang Yanxi generously admitted.

“We can discuss and improve together in the future. Actually, my cooking skills aren’t that great either!” Liuli said with a smile.

“Sure!” Tang Yanxi agreed.

After dinner, Liuli and Tang Yanxi joined forces in the kitchen.

Tang Yanxi packed a meal for Tang Yunxi, then accompanied her older brother and sister-in-law to the hospital to visit Grandpa.

Liuli wasn’t sure what they were talking about, but seeing the two of them smiling like children warmed her heart.

“Grandpa…

Everyone greeted him.

“You’re here!” Tang Sheng beamed.

“Grandpa, how are you feeling today?” Liuli approached him with concern.

“Very good! I want to be discharged too!” Tang Sheng replied with a smile.

We can’t do that. Let’s observe for a few more days. The doctor said there’s no problem, so we’ll head home soon,” Liuli quickly interjected.

Okay, Liuli, you haven’t forgotten what you told Grandpa, right?” Tang Sheng looked at Liuli and asked with a smile.

What is it, Grandpa?” Liuli blurted out.

In the next second, she suddenly realized her slip-up and felt her cheeks heat up.

“I’ll remember, I’ll remember!” she quickly assured him.

She was afraid that Grandpa Tang would reveal it in front of Mr. Tang.

“Grandpa, what’s going on?” Tang Yanxi inquired with a smile.

Tang Yunxi, who was enjoying the packed dinner from Tang Yanxi, chimed in, “Yeah, what’s going on? I’m really curious!”

“This is a secret between Grandpa and me. 1 won’t tell you!” Liuli hastily declared.

“Alright, it’s our little secret. We won’t spill the beans,” Tang Sheng agreed with a smile.

It was similar to the secret agreement they had made in front of the building.

“Brother, don’t tell me you’re clueless too!” Tang Yanxi turned to her brother, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

“Is it surprising that I don’t know?”

“Didn’t you hear what your sister-in-law said?”

“Is this a secret between her and Grandpa?” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

He cast a glance at Liuli.

After drying her hair and tying it up, Liuli walked out and knocked on Mr.

Tang’s study door. “Brother Moxi, I’m done showering. It’s your turn!”

But no one replied to her.

She pushed the door open and realized that Mr. Tang wasn’t in the study at all.

Eh, where did he go?

At this moment, they heard the sound of wooden stairs.

Liuli turned around and saw Mr. Tang coming upstairs with a towel wrapped around his waist.

“Air…” Liuli exclaimed and quickly covered her eyes.

She was afraid that she would see something she shouldn’t.

“Liuli, 1 told you just now.

“Don’t scream when nothing is going on, others will misunderstand!” Tang Moxi reminded with a frown.

“You… you’re naked!” Liuli wanted to scream.

“Isn’t that obvious?

“Who would bathe in clothes!?”

“I didn’t see you shower just now!”

“Do you mean that I have to shower in front of you before I can be considered to have showered?” Tang Moxi asked with a smile.

No, I didn’t see you when I came out of the bathroom just now!” Liuli let go and glared at Tang Moxi.

However, when she saw Mr. Tang’s muscular and naked upper body, she couldn’t help but blush again.

“I washed them in the bathroom downstairs. 1’11 change my clothes and we can go over.”

With that, Tang Moxi walked towards the bedroom.

“Moxi… Ya…” Liuli was about to remind Tang Moxi that it was New Year’s Eve and she had to wear red.

However, in her haste, she accidentally pulled the towel off Mr. Tang!

Liuli immediately regretted her actions. Why did she have to do that?

Why couldn’t she control herself?

Now she had removed the only thing covering Mr. Tang’s body.

Now that Mr. Tang wanted her to take responsibility, what should she do?

Should she find a place to hide and avoid the situation?

Or should she just deny her involvement?

Liuli squatted beside the sofa, deep in thought, trying to come up with a solution.

Even when Tang Moxi came out after changing, Liuli still couldn’t think of a way out.

Liuli, what are you doing over there?”

Startled, Liuli looked up as if she had been electrocuted and saw Mr. Tang.

The handsome man was now dressed in a black suit with a rose-red shirt.

Liuli was momentarily stunned by his appearance.

“Liuli…” Tang Moxi called out again.

Huh? Huh?” Liuli quickly snapped back to reality and replied.

Why are you squatting there?” Tang Moxi asked, bemused.

“I’m squatting here?” Only then did Liuli realize that she had stopped sitting on the sofa and was squatting on it. “I was lost in thought…”

Liuli suddenly blushed again as the image of her accidentally pulling off Mr. Tang’s bathrobe flashed in her mind.

Embarrassed, she quickly covered her face.

“I’m just lost in thought!”

“Lost in thought about what?

“I’m not telling you. Let’s go for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

After saying that, Liuli stood up and tried to walk around the sofa.

However, she accidentally bumped into the foot of the chair, causing her immense pain and contorting her face. She was on the verge of tears.

Why are you so careless?!” Tang Moxi lifted Liuli and placed her on the sofa. He then loosened his pants to examine the bruises. “I’ll go get the first aid kit!”

There’s no need. Let’s hurry and join everyone for dinner. They’re waiting for us!” Liuli quickly stopped Tang Moxi.

“I don’t mind the time. 1 want to take care of you!” Tang Moxi insisted and went to retrieve the first aid kit.

After applying the necessary ointment and bandaging Liuli’s leg, he put away the first aid kit and washed his hands. Then, Tang Moxi returned to carry Liuli downstairs.

Startled, Liuli instinctively wrapped her arms around Tang Moxi’s neck.

“Brother Moxi, 1 can walk by myself.

“What will you say when Grandpa asks about your leg?”

“It was just an accident!” Liuli responded confidently.

“Don’t you need to explain what caused the accident?”

What do you mean by cause and effect?” Liuli couldn’t even look at Mr. Tang.

Tang Moxi didn’t respond, he simply walked to the shoe cabinet and asked, “Which pair of shoes are you wearing tonight?”

“Oh, I want to wear the red snow boots. I bought them specifically to match this outfit!” Liuli replied eagerly.

Liuli couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Tang Moxi gently placed her back on the ground and helped her put on the boots.

Liuli watched his actions in awe.

After a moment, she snapped out of her daze.

“Brother Moxi, my hand isn’t injured!”

“I know. Let’s go! I’ll carry you there!” Tang Moxi said determinedly.

With that, he approached Liuli and crouched down.

Liuli obediently settled herself on Tang Moxi’s back, wrapping her arms around his neck, as he carried her towards the main house.

Brother Moxi, who will marry you in the future? You’ll be so fortunate!” Liuli remarked.

“If you want to praise yourself, just say it!” Tang Moxi teased.

“I’m not talking about myself,” Liuli retorted.

“Aren’t you the one marrying me now?”

“I… but I’m talking about the future!

“I only get married once!” Tang Moxi declared..
