âDonât worry, come in first, then talk.â Lu Tingxiao quickly brought her in, sat her down on the sofa, then poured a glass of hot milk for her.
Ning Xi held the glass of milk and stared at it blankly for quite a while before she said with determination. âMy grandfather is most worried about me, Lu Tingxiao. I want to findâ¦or rent a guy to pretend to be my boyfriend and let my grandfather meet him, so he would feel assured.â
âWhy donât you bring me?â Lu Tingxiao asked.
âUhhâ¦bringâ¦you?â Ning Xi was stunned.
Lu Tingxiao did not look too happy. Did she not even think of him at all?
Ning Xi quickly reacted and said, âUm, what I mean is that if I brought youâ¦my grandfather probably wouldnât be assured, but shocked insteadâ¦â
âAt such a moment, he wouldnât believe you even more if you brought someone else over. You can only bring me.â Lu Tingxiao tone was firm.
âMmmâ¦is that so?â
âIf you donât bring me, who else would you bring?â Lu Tingxiao looked at her to ask.
Ning Xi looked at him weakly., âShould I be honest?â
âMmm.â
Ning Xi scratched her head. âActuallyâ¦I wanted to bring Xi Shiqing over to help cover up since his identity is more suitable, plus Grandfather has always quite liked him, thusâ¦â
Before she could finish, Ning Xi could already feel a sense of danger. She quickly held onto Lu Tingxiaoâs arm and said, âHey, I think Grandfather would definitely like you more! Letâs go, Iâll bring you over tomorrow!â
Lu Tingxiao shot her a look.
Of course, he knew her concern was logical. With his identity, it would be hard for the elder to believe that he was sincere. There might even be a possibility that he wouldnât accept him.
âI will settle whatever youâre worried about.â Lu Tingxiao looked at the girl and gave her his reassurance.
âSadly, a boyfriend can immediately be brought over, but the wish for a great-grandchild cannot be fulfilledâ¦â Ning Xi looked sad as she mumbled, âEven if I started making one now, I wouldnât make it in time!â
As Ning Xi said this, she suddenly thought of something and excitedly stood up, âLu Tingxiao, uhhâ¦can you lend me Little Treasure?â
âNo need.â
âAh? What do you mean? Youâre not lending?â
âNo need to lend, heâs yours, to begin with.â
Ning Xi was so touched that she started to tear up. âIâm not sure if what Iâm doing is rightâ¦but I knowâ¦that if I donât do anything, I would definitely regret itâ¦â
There was no way she would let her grandfather pass away with regrets and without peace of mindâ¦
â¦
Thus, the next morning, Ning Xi brought Lu Tingxiao and the little bun to the hospital.
Lu Tingxiao had probably arranged beforehand. The ward area was extremely quiet without any random people around. A doctor personally led them upstairs.
âDoctor, howâs my grandfather? Is he better today?â Ning Xi asked anxiously.
The doctor shook his head heavily. âVery terrible, he remains in a daze. If the situation continues to worsen like this, Iâm afraidâ¦within the next two daysâ¦â
âWhat?â Ning Xi suddenly changed in expression.
She was initially hesitating about whether to lie to her grandfather about Little Treasure, but now, she could not care so much anymore.
Ning Xi took a deep breath and pushed the door into the ward.
âGrandfather, Iâve come to see you!â
On the sick bed, the elderâs spirit looked worse than yesterday. When he heard Ning Xiâs voice, he only lifted up his eyes slightly. âXiao Xiâ¦â
