Ruan Bai wiped away the tears hanging on his face, and quickly shook his head, "Auntie, it's nothing."
Ruan Manwei was still puzzled, how could she cry when nothing happened? She handed over the tissue, "Don't use your hands, it's dirty, and what's going on?"
Mu Shaoling took the tissue and wiped Ruan Bai's tears, "Auntie, it's my fault that made Xiaobai cry."
Ruan Bai shook his head, saying no.
Ruan Manwei looked at the husband and wife and said nothing, really anxious to death.
"Auntie, it's not a big deal, and it has nothing to do with Shaoling, don't worry." Ruan Bai sniffed and said.
She hadn't cried for a long time, but this time she couldn't help it.
For a moment just now, she thought that her marriage was going to be in crisis, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, that's why she was so fragile.
Ruan Manwei felt relieved after hearing her say this repeatedly, and said, "I'll get you an ice pack, or the two old people will see it later and think something happened."
"Thank you, aunt." Ruan Bai smiled slightly, watched his aunt leave, held Mu Shaoling's hand again, and assured him: "I really didn't think so much about what happened today, and I won't be like this in the future."
Mu Shaoling raised his hand, gently rubbing her face with his fingertips.
Ruan Manwei brought an ice pack and handed it to Mu Shaoling, "Shaoling, apply it to her quickly, her eyes are red, like a rabbit, come in when the swelling subsides, the sun is going down soon, the lights on the balcony It's broken, and I haven't had time to find someone to replace it with."
"En." Mu Shaoling took the ice pack and pressed it gently around her eyes.
Ruan Bai felt a burst of coldness, subconsciously wanted to step back, but was pressed against by his fiery fingertips, hot and cold intertwined, she felt the two heavens of ice and fire.
Mu Shaoling took an ice pack and pressed her down for a while before letting go.
Ruan Bai's red eyes got better, and he said, "Don't cry anymore."
"I couldn't help it just now." Ruan Bai's expression was slightly embarrassed, she hadn't been this emotional for a long time, but she couldn't help it when she met his concern.
Mu Shaoling picked up the ice pack, held Ruan Bai's hand and stood up, "Let's go in."
"Okay." Ruan Bai smiled sweetly and leaned on his side.
The two walked in, and when Old Master Mu saw him, he waved and said, "Shaoling, come and help me play a game."
Old man Ruan gave a "tsk" and joked again: "Old man Mu, I haven't seen you for a while, and your chess skills are getting worse and worse. Now you need to ask Shaoling for help?"
Mr. Mu looked righteous and confident: "I taught Shaoling's chess skills, so what's the problem with asking him to avenge me?"
Mu Shaoling took Ruan Bai's hand and walked over, looked at the chessboard, and saw that Mr. Mu's generals were surrounded, and there was indeed no way out.
Mr. Mu pointed to the place next to him, and said, "Come on, Shaoling, help me play the next game."
The old man lost two games in a row and needed to save some face.
Mu Shaoling didn't shirk, sat on a chair, and said to old man Ruan, "Grandpa, I'll play a game with you."
Old man Ruan nodded, "Okay, today I will kill both of you, grandpa and grandson."
Seeing them playing chess, Ruan Bai changed them to new tea, and went to the kitchen to help Ruan Manwei.
Ruan Manwei happened to be preparing dinner.
Ruan Bai stepped forward to help.
Ruan Man looked at her slightly, the red eyes faded, and she said, "Why don't you sit outside?"
"I'll help you." Ruan Bai was embarrassed to let her prepare dinner for so many people alone.
Seeing that she was a bit overwhelmed, Ruan Manwei ignored her kindness and pointed to the cabbage on the basket, "Then help me wash the cabbage."
"Okay." Ruan Bai rolled up his sleeves, picked up the cabbage to wash, "Auntie, grandpa looks pretty good, does he have a check-up every month?"
Ruan Man nodded slightly, "The people arranged by Shaoling will come to take him for a check-up every month. He knew you were coming yesterday. He didn't know how happy he was. He said to go to bed early, and he will see you when he wakes up. You, sleep well, and his complexion has improved a lot."
Ruan Bai knew that the old man loved him, and when he thought that he was too busy to visit him during this time, he felt guilty. Even though he knew that he was not his granddaughter, the old man's love for her still did not diminish. As always, he regarded her as a relative. Treated like a granddaughter.
"Auntie, I will come back to visit Grandpa more often in the future." She promised.
Ruan Man smiled slightly, "It's enough for you to have this kind of thought. You are usually busy with family work, so don't think so much. Also, don't just focus on visiting your grandfather, your biological parents, and Shaoling’s family, you have to establish a good relationship with them.”
She is generous and tactful, knowing Ruan Bai's difficulties, fearing that she may not do enough, so she gave him another warning.
"Auntie, I know all about it." Ruan Bai said with a smile, even without this blood relationship, they are still her dearest people.
"You know, but you are still young and haven't done a lot of things well. Before your grandfather was in poor health, Mr. Lin and the others often came and walked around and sent a lot of things. I recently embroidered a piece of cross-stitch. You brought it today Let's go, if you are free someday, help me give it to Mr. Lin and the others." Ruan Manwei said.
Ruan Bai wiped the water drops from his hands, put his arms around her shoulders, leaned against her, and said affectionately: "Auntie, you are so kind!"
"By the way, there is one more thing." Ruan Manwei enjoyed her intimacy. This little niece was also raised by her since she was a child. From the bottom of her heart, she has long been loving and pampering her like a daughter.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Bai continued to choose vegetables.
Ruan Manwei said: "Shaoling suggested before that we should buy a house near your home and let us live in it so that your grandpa can often see you and the children. I discussed it with your grandpa and think it is a good thing. But it takes a lot of money to buy a house, plus it’s comfortable to live here, and it’s close to the hospital, so we don’t plan to move, and we accept his wishes.”
Ruan Bai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Mu Shaoling to do so much without knowing it.
"Auntie, the house is actually not expensive. After buying the house now, don't you wait for it to appreciate in value?" She said, knowing that Mu Shaoling's arrangement was entirely for herself.
"No, no, no. It's good to live here now. Your grandfather is old. If you change to a strange environment, you have to get used to it, which is not conducive to his sleep." Ruan Manwei said.
Seeing what she said, Ruan Bai didn't insist anymore, after all, the rest of the old man is very important.
The two worked together to prepare dinner, and when the food floated out of the living room, Taotao pursed his lips and said, "Baba, Taotao is hungry."
Mu Shaoling picked up a grape and put it in his youngest son's mouth, "Let's eat some fruit first."
Taotao was wronged, she blinked her eyes and bit the grape.
Ruan Manwei came out and said to the people in the living room, "Dad, Mr. Mu, Shaoling, it's time to eat."
Unconvinced, Master Mu lost the chess all afternoon, put down the chess and said, "Don't move this game, I will definitely beat you after dinner."
"Who is afraid of whom?" Old man Ruan smiled, touched Zhanbai's head again, and asked, "Zhanbai, isn't grandpa amazing?"
Zhan Bai nodded, and said frankly, "Grandfather is great, but father is even more powerful."
