Chapter 18 (2/2)

In order to make Grandpa Li happy, Wu Mei dressed up to look more innocent. She changed into a white dress and let her hair down before waiting for Li Nanchen on the ground floor of the building.

At the ground floor of the hospital building, Wu Mei bought two bouquets of fresh flowers. She followed him to the lift that went straight to the VIP ward. When he pushed open the door, Old Master Li was breathing weakly whilst lying on the hospital bed, covered in needles and detectors from various instruments.

“Has he always been like this?” Wu Mei asked as she approached. She placed the flowers on the bedside table and squinted as she flipped through Grandpa Li’s medical records.

Li Nanchen nodded lightly. He held Old Master Li’s hand and massaged his muscles to relax them…

“Nanchen? Mei’er? You’re here?”

Old Master Li, who had been drifting in and out of sleep all day, opened his eyes for the first time. His breathing was rapid as he spoke in a feeble voice.

Wu Mei took the initiative to run to his side. She smiled and said, “Yes, Grandpa. We came to see you. Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m okay. I can hold on.”

Staring at them, Old Master Li placed Li Nanchen and Wu Mei’s hands together. “I’m still waiting to carry my great-grandson!”

“…” Li Nanchen was slightly stunned.

Wu Mei, on the other hand, coaxed him, “In that case, you have to recover quickly, Grandpa! You will have a great-grandson.”

Old Master Li laughed twice and suddenly coughed hard. When his breathing gradually stabilized, his experienced eyes saw through everything and said, “Mei’er only knows how to bluff this old man. I know that you guys haven’t consummated your marriage yet… It’s been almost three years…”

“You don’t know that.”

Wu Mei was stunned for a moment before she hooked her arm around Li Nanchen’s arm. As if putting on a show, she leaned her head gently against his shoulder and said shyly, “We consummated our marriage a few days ago. Nanchen especially likes sleeping with me.”

Li Nanchen was speechless.

This woman… Why are her words so crude?!

Wu Mei did not look the least bit embarrassed. She secretly went closer to Old Master Li and whispered, “I reckon that you’ll be able to hear some good news in a few months! So, you have to listen to the doctor and receive treatment properly, so that you can recover! You need to wait for your great-grandson to call you great-grandpa!”

“Okay, okay…”

Old Master Li realized that Li Nanchen was just a little stunned but did not retort. At that moment, he laughed so hard that the alarm on the equipment rang.

The nurses and doctors rushed in and performed various tests on him.

Wu Mei took a good look at Old Master Li’s stats. She had some speculations in mind, but she needed facts to verify them and could not let Li Nanchen know right then.

“Grandpa, the doctor said that you should rest well. I’ll bring him to visit you again in a few days.”

Wu Mei and Li Nanchen interlocked their fingers. She smiled as she waved to Grandpa Li.

Seeing that Old Master Li’s face had a little more colour than before and that he had groggily dozed off again, both of them remained silent.
