BXBX NOVEL Chapter 296 - Happy And Blissful
Taking a deep breath, he sighed, "It\'s not like I did not have time to come and see you in the hospital, I just couldn\'t gather the courage to face you. Today, though I am sitting right in front of you, I am very nervous and anxious about everything."
Without waiting for her reply, he explained, "I know what happened in the past wasn\'t something we all were expecting but the situation called for it. In the state of panic, Weilog and Ziyi ended up doing something that was really very unfair for you. Not just them, I was also later involved in all of this and it is partially my fault too. I don\'t expect you to forgive me, I just wanted to see you once and I am glad that you agreed to meet me."
Placing his hand on his, he sighed, "I am already old and my days are numbered, I just hope you won\'t keep any ill feelings for this old man. I just want you to live a blissful and happy life even if it doesn\'t include me."
"I don\'t have hard feelings for you or anybody else, everything is in the past now and I am happy with whatever I have at the moment," Ning remarked.
"That is nice." Slowly getting up, Grandpa Jiang patted her head. "Always remain happy, God bless you sweetheart. I will take my leave now, take care."
When he started walking towards the main door, Ning quickly got up and stopped him. "If you want, you can stay for dinner." When he hesitated for a while, she added, "I cooked."
Smiling at her, he nodded his head. "Sure, I would love to."
Yichan, who had been watching the duo from a corner, smiled and made his way back to the dining area.
…..
Dining area.
"Where is sister Ning?" Yitian inquired.
���She is coming," Yichan answered before entering the kitchen. After some time, he came out with an extra plate and placed it right next to Ning\'s seat before sitting down.
"Someone is joining us?" he inquired.
Without saying anything, Yichan nodded his head. Just then, Ning and grandpa Jiang entered the dining area.
Looking at the extra plate, Ning raised her brows and gave her sneaky husband a look. "Were you eavesdropping our conversation?"
"I won\'t call that eavesdropping, let\'s just say that I overheard a few lines."
Looking at grandpa Jiang, Ning remarked, "You know Yichan already and he is Yitian."
"Let\'s start eating before the food turns cold, we can talk and introduce ourselves later," Yichan stated.
…..
A couple of hours later.
"That is really very nice, you should stay home and rest well. Work is always secondary and health is really very important," Grandpa Jiang remarked.
"But it���s boring staying at home all day, sometimes the girls come over but they also have work to do." Helplessly shaking her head, Ning sighed, "I just feel so alone all day."
"Do you want me to stop going to work and stay with you all day? Because I swear I can do that just to spend my entire day with you," Yichan stated.
Smacking his arm, she rolled her eyes. "Stop being so cheesy."
"It feels so great seeing you kids so happy together, God bless you both." Glancing at the watch, grandpa Jiang added, "It\'s late, I should leave."
Patting Ning\'s head, he smiled, "You are a great cook, the food was delicious. Yichan is a very lucky man."
"Of course he is." Giving him a hug, Ning smiled, "You should visit us whenever you are free and you want to grandpa."
"O-Of course I will, I—" Giving her a hug, grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Only he knew how many beats his heart skipped when Ning referred to him as \'Grandpa\'. He had been waiting for her to call him for years but had almost given up when he heard she had refused to acknowledge Weilong and Ziyi.
"I\'ll make something special for you when you visit us next time, okay?"
"Of course, I cannot wait to taste your delicious food again." Pulling away, he added, "I will give you a call before coming next time."
"Sure, do you have my number?" Extending her hand, she added, "Give me your phone, let me feed it in for you."
Quickly fishing out his phone from his pocket, grandpa Jiang gave it to her.
Ning quickly saved her number in his phone. "I saved my number and now I have your number too."
"Thank you much sweetheart, take care of yourself. You both should rest now, I will take my leave."
After grandpa Jiang left, Ning wrapped her arms around Yichan and placed her head on his chest. "I did the right thing, right?"
Gently caressing her back, he inquired, "What do you mean babe?"
"Grandpa Jiang is already old, I didn\'t want him to stress over something so I invited him over and then you know rest. Do you think it\'s okay?"
"Of course, I am so proud of you." Kissing the top of her head, he added, "Just give everything some time, I am sure it will be okay."
"Hmmm I guess." Hugging him tightly, she sighed, "What would I do without you Yi? I would seriously feel so lost and incomplete."
"Me too."
"Hello, in case you both forgot but I am still here," Yitian remarked.
Looking at him, Yichan stated, "Then go to your room, why are you still standing here?" Pulling Ning closer, he added, "This is our couple time, don\'t disturb."
Helplessly shaking his head, Yitian chuckled, "Alright I am going, good night."
After he left, Yichan scooped her into arms and started walking towards their room. "You know honey, I think these days I am feeling like you don\'t love me anymore."
Hooking her arms around his neck, she smiled, "Hmm what can I do to make you feel loved again?"
"There are many ways, we just need to figure it out."
…..
Beiston City.
Holdman Hotel.
After driving for six hours, Ziying and Chen finally arrived in their destination. Stopping the car right in front of the hotel, Chen smiled at Ziying who had been soundly sleeping for five hours now.
Slowly shaking her shoulder, he woke her up, "Good morning sleepy head, we have arrived."
Opening her eyes, she looked around before rubbing her eyes. "Wait, we are already here? Why didn\'t you wake me up earlier?"
"You were sleeping very peacefully so I decided not to disturb you." Unbuckling his belt, he added, "It was a smooth ride so it\'s alright."
"But you haven\'t slept at all.." Scrunching her brows, she remarked, "You should have woken me midway, I could have drove."
Raising his brows, he smiled, "Are you concerned about me Ms.Wang?"
"W-What? Why would I be concerned about you?" she snapped.
"It\'s okay, I have a habit of staying up late anyway." Unlocking the door, he added, "I\'ll get our bags."
...
Inside the hotel.
As soon they entered the hotel, an employee handed Chen the room keys. Giving one of the keys to Ziying, he explained, "Your room number is 352 and mine is 351."
"We will leave on Sunday morning, right?"
"We just arrived Ms.Wang and here you are talking about leaving already," he sighed before helplessly shaking his head.
Without saying anything, she entered the elevator while Chen followed behind.
….
Outside Ziying\'s room.
Giving her the suitcase, Chen stated, "Here is your bag, give me a call if you need anything, okay?"
"Okay, you should also take some rest. It\'s been a long ride for you." Taking a bag from his hand, she added, "We will switch every hour when we return back."
"Alright, good night."
"Goodnight."
After making sure Ziying had entered her suit, Chen made his way towards his suit.
...
Next day
Ning and Yichan\'s room.
"Take it away, I am not here to drink anything," Grandpa Yang snapped.
Raising her brows, Ning kept the glass down. "Now what are you so cranky about early in the morning grandpa."
"Shouldn\'t you be knowing the reason behind my bad mood? But why would you know? As if you care about me," he scoffed.
