“Oh? You know who I am?” Jing Huaduo asked with a surprised smile.

“You are mommy’s grandpa, my great grandpa!” She laughed. “Grandpa really does have a beard! Just like how Baby imagined! This is great! Baby has a great grandpa who looks like Santa Claus!”

Ying Bao clapped her little hands excitedly. “Grandpa, can Baby touch your beard?”

“Okay!”

Jing Huaduo did not expect his great granddaughter to be so clever. She was more talkative than Xu Xiyan was as a child. He sat down by Ying Bao’s bed and leaned over to let the little girl touch his beard.

As Ying Bao reached out to touch it, Jing Huaduo eagerly asked “how is it? What does my beard feel like?”

Ying Bao smiled, two lovely little dimples peeking out on her cheeks.

“Yay! Okay! You’re too kind great grandpa! Ying Bao is so blessed to have such a good great grandpa like you. It must be my reward for saving the planet in my previous life!” Ying Bao smiled.

“Ha ha ha...”

Ying Bao was still a young child but she talked like an adult. She was so amusing. The three adults in the ward laughed delightfully at her antics.

Jing Huaduo spent a few hours in the hospital. He had a long conversation with Xu Xiyan and played with Ying Bao for a while before leaving with Uncle Li.

Before he left, Jing Huaduo told them that he would get a driver to come pick up Ying Bao on Tuesday morning.

...

On the third day of Ying Bao’s hospitalization, she was looking more spirited and could eat normally. The doctor gave her one last examination, then told Xu Xiyan that she could go ahead and settle the discharge procedure.

Fang Xiaocheng and Wang Dazhi came to the hospital to pick up Ying Bao. When no one was looking, Fang Xiaocheng pulled Xu Xiyan aside, a newspaper in hand.

“Yanyan, what’s going on?”

“What?” Xu Xiyan took the newspaper from Fang Xiaocheng. When she read it, she realized that when she’d stood up for Huo Yunshen at the hospital entrance, it had quickly become a scandal.

The news reported that Huo Yunshen had married secretly, and that he had accompanied his wife to the hospital for a pregnancy exam. There, in the photo on the page, was Xu Xiyan, facing away from the camera.
