For fear that Mr. Helian would fly into a rage, Jian Rushi immediately put her hands on her belly and said, “I have a dull pain in the stomach.”
Helian Ze hurriedly held her arm and said in a concerned voice, “You are pregnant. After such a long car journey here, naturally you feel uncomfortable. I’ll take you to have a rest first.”
There was a moment of silence in the house, then Jian Rushi heard the sound of footsteps. An old man with grey hair tottered out of the house and said with an eager look on his face, “You’ve brought my granddaughter-in-law back?!”
Jian Rushi came forward and supported the old man with her hand, then gave him a sweet smile and said, “Grandpa, I came here specially to see you.”
The old man took a look at her swollen belly and couldn’t help laughing. “You little brat, I’m glad that you finally did a good thing,” he said to Helian Ze.
Did he mean…
Jian Rushi blushed and felt ashamed of having an erotic idea. Helian Ze was such a bad example that he had corrupted her.
Helian Ze shrugged and said coldly, “Don’t expect too much. Maybe it’s a girl.”
The old man turned around led them into the house while saying, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. I just hope the child will be more obedient than you.”
“My child won’t be an obedient sheep,” Helian Ze said while walking.
Jian Rushi couldn’t help but diss him in the heart, ‘Mr. Helian, you really have a clear estimation of yourself.’
Helian Ze’s grandfather was much more amiable than Helian Ze described. Although the old man was retired, he used to be in high position. He preserved his grave and dignified bearing, and looked at his granddaughter-in-law with a trace of warmth in his eyes. He also showed his concern for her, and she was flattered.
Helian Ze hated to be in the room with his grandfather, so he left the house on the pretext that he wanted to go out for a breath of air. After all, the scenery here was fabulous. Jian Rushi still stayed at the room to chat with the old man.
Mr. Helian’s grandfather didn’t take his departure seriously. Obviously, the relationship between the two men was not very harmonious.
After Helian Ze left, Jian Rushi pondered for a moment and said carefully, “Grandpa, actually Mr. Helian is always worried about you. But he dares not come to see you often because he’s afraid of you being angry. After all, he once went against your wishes and refused to enter politics.”
Fortunately, Jian Rushi knew the reason for the bad relationship between Helian Ze and his grandfather from Helian Ze a few minutes ago.
Helian Ze’s grandfather waved his hand and said with an indifferent look on his face, “You don’t need to put in a good word for him. I know the real reason. He has a grudge against me because many years ago I left him alone in a small village, and afterwards, I took him away by force without considering his feelings. It was a period of regime change, and we were threatened with unimaginable danger.” With that, he changed the subject because he didn’t want to say more about the past events.
They two sat on the sofa talking about everything under the sun. Jian got along well with Mr. Helian’s grandfather.
Helian Ze and Jian Rushi stayed here for several hours before they went back. The old man stood at the door with his hands clasped behind his back and watched his grandson and granddaughter-in-law leave.
There were many guards patrolling the hill even in the evening. The whole hill was brilliantly illuminated throughout the night. Despite the protection by so many people, the old man standing alone by the door cut a lonely figure.
“Mr. Helian, let’s visit Grandpa often in the future.”
Helian Ze slightly nodded and then said slowly, “Now you’ve met my family. I will start making preparations for our wedding as soon as you give birth to our child.”
A few months later, Jian Rushi finally unloaded the ‘cargo’.
Facts proved that Mr. Helian was right. Their child wouldn’t be an obedient sheep. With great difficulty, Jian Rushi finally gave birth to twins. They were a boy and a girl.
When Jian Rushi was wheeled back to the ward, she didn’t feel pain yet because of anesthetic effect. She smiled at Mr. Helian and asked, “Do you think our children are beautiful?”
Helian Ze sat by the bed and answered, “Maybe.”
“Helian Ze!”
“They are beautiful.”
How could Mr. Helian know whether their children were beautiful or not?
Their children were in another room with Tang Ge. At the sight of the soft expression on her face, Lu Ziming had a sudden urge to have a baby, “Since you like children so much, we can get married at once and have a baby.”
“Stop dreaming.”
Lu Ziming was a little disappointed. It seemed that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to make her his wife. But he would never give up because he had plenty of time and patience to achieve his goal.
