He chased after her. He wrapped his long arm around her waist, and her frail body immediately crashed into his bosom. It was as if he was sticking closely to her.
The smile in his eyes sparkled. His usual casual face still had that scoundrel's look, yet it was still so beautiful. His cheerful heart was in a trance. Was she afraid of him? Not afraid, but afraid, afraid that this tenderness will be short-lived.
"Wife, I have something to tell you."
He put his arm around her waist and walked up the stairs. From the bedroom on the second floor, he could clearly hear Mi Yang's joyful scream.
"What is it?" The smile gradually adapted to the hug that he hadn't experienced in a long time. He could feel his breath lingering at the end of his nose, the familiar smell of cologne, the familiar smell of cigarettes. Oh, it really was time for him to quit smoking.
"Grandfather's body has not recovered much, and the weather has turned cold. The doctor recommends that Grandpa go to the Maldives to recuperate. The climate there is as good as spring, which is good for Grandfather's health."
The old man who had brought him along with him since he was young, the one who had taken care of him with all his heart, the one who had never felt lonely or forgotten without his love for his father, was all because of his grandfather.
"Since the doctor has said so, then bring Grandpa over. As long as Grandpa can get well, I'll do it no matter what!" Huaiyan said without any hesitation.
"I want to go with grandpa. I'm the one grandpa loves the most, and I can't be at ease with dad either. Besides, grandpa doesn't like dad, so I'm sure grandpa will be happier if I stay with him." He sighed and caressed her long hair, saying, "Yan Yan, I will be leaving for a long time."
She didn't know when she had tightened her hold on his arm and used all her strength. She felt a burst of fear and helplessness in her heart, but she was unable to say anything.
"However... I'll be back by your birthday in December. "
He embraced her and closed his eyes, gently rubbing his chin against her head. "Yan Yan, there's still a week left. Don't get into an awkward situation with me. We're fine, okay?"
Huaiyan felt her heart soften, but before she could finish, she lightly nodded her head.
"Sis, brother-in-law, I want to live here!"
Just as he was deep in thought, he was interrupted by Mi Yang, who suddenly ran out of the room. Mi Yang, who had suddenly ran out of the room, interrupted him immediately.
"Ah …" "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry for disturbing you guys …" Mi Yang opened his mouth and laughed. He turned around immediately and pretended not to see anything as he chuckled.
"Where do you want to live? I'll have the servants clean it up. " Huaiyan hurriedly followed up her words, breaking the awkward silence between the three of them.
"This is it. This balcony is so beautiful, and this room is very big. I like it. I've always dreamed of sleeping in such a big room!"
Mi Yang pointed to the master bedroom and began to act coquettishly, tugging at her smiling arm like a child … She was stunned. That was her and Shen Canghao's big bedroom. What did it matter if Mi Yang slept inside?
"This won't do, Mi Yang. This is my room with your sister. You can pick out the rest of the rooms. There are plenty of big rooms with balconies, not just this one."
Shen Canghao's smile hung on his face, but his words carried an unquestionable tone.
"Brother-in-law, you're so stingy …" Mi Yang pursed his lips with a reluctant look on his face.
Shen Canghao smiled but did not speak. However, his smile seemed to contain some content.
"Then …" Mi Yang pretended to think. He tilted his head and thought for a moment. "I'm scared of the dark. I want to sleep next door. Otherwise, I'll be scared at night …"
"Alright, you can pick who's in charge."
Shen Canghao readily agreed. After he finished speaking, he called for Sister Qin to bring some people to tidy up the bedroom in the room next door.
Mi Yang touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, but obediently followed his wife to check the room. He was happy that he was still a child after all, he thought with a smile.
"Sis …"
Mi Yang glanced at Shen Canghao, who was busy at the side. He whispered slyly into her ear, "Sis, I'm sleeping next door to you. Can't you tell me what you're talking about tonight?"
Her words were straightforward, but there was still the cute look of a child on her face. She wanted to be angry, but had to suppress her anger. She glared at Mi Yang. "Xu Moyan, if you don't change your mind, I won't bother with you."
"Brother-in-law!" Mi Yang immediately shouted. With an exaggerated expression, he looked at Shen Canghao. "Sister said she wants me to leave, no matter what …"
"Xu Moyan!" She really couldn't control her anger and growled!
"Well, I was wrong!" Mi Yang stuck out his tongue and laughed. He hopped towards his room. Shen Canghao turned around, but she took a step back. She lowered her voice and said, "Sister, brother-in-law must be amazing. I'm really jealous of you …"
She smiled lightly. This time around, she had learnt her lesson. Without waiting for Huaiyan to speak, she quickly disappeared from the room …
Huaiyan stood rooted to the spot, unable to find a place to vent her anger. She suddenly regretted agreeing to let Huang Shujuan take care of Mi Yang, and why she agreed to let Mi Yang live in her house. She should've chosen a boarding school for her …
She suddenly realized that this was the kind of feeling that would lead a wolf into a room …
"What's wrong?" When Shen Canghao came out of the bathroom, he was still sitting there in a daze with a smile on his face. He smiled as he walked forward and gently embraced her. "Go take a bath. I'll wait for you …"
Her cool skin pressed against her body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
Suddenly, she turned around and hugged him tightly. "Ah Hao …"
"What's wrong, Yan Yan?" He stroked her hair, pressed her face to his chest, and hugged her tight.
"I'm a little afraid …" She raised her head, and looked at him without moving: "Ah Hao, do you really like me?"
He laughed out loud and pulled her back a little bit …
