[I understand. I'll come over right away.] Although she did not like Li Yan, she enjoyed being close to Grandma Li.
Ning Zhi also brought oranges, which Grandma Li liked, to visit her.
"Grandma, guess who I am." When Ning Zhi arrived, Grandmother Li was being pushed to bask in the sun by the caregiver.
Ning Zhi walked over with a cheerful smile. Grandma Li was still the same, squinting her eyes with a kind expression. However, when she saw Ning Zhi, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Ningning, you're Ningning!" Grandma Li was exceptionally delighted. Then, she pouted like a child throwing a tantrum. "Ningning, why did it take you so long to visit me? I missed you!"
Grandma Li even reached out to hug Ning Zhi. The sight of the elderly and the young embracing was particularly heartwarming. The caregiver quickly snapped a photo and sent it to Li Yan, but when she looked up, she saw Li Yan standing not far away.
"Li…" The caregiver was about to greet him when Li Yan stopped her.
"Grandma, Ningning brought your favorite oranges. Wait a moment, I'll peel them for you." Ning Zhi crouched beside her and began peeling the orange carefully while sharing her recent interesting events.
The sunlight shone on Ning Zhi, making Li Yan, who was standing at the side, a little lost in thought. There was a certain charm in her smile that seemed to only appear when she was with Li Yan's grandmother.
Ning Zhi was afraid that the sun would be too hot and was about to push Grandma Li back into the house when she turned around and saw Li Yan.
Ning Zhi was shocked. She did not know when Li Yan had developed the habit of secretly observing others.
Li Yan even smiled at Ning Zhi, making her feel as if he had been possessed.
"Let me do it." Li Yan reached out to take the wheelchair.
Ning Zhi was certain that he must have been possessed by a ghost.
On the other hand, Grandma Li was very happy. She reached out to touch Li Yan's hand and looked up at her eldest grandson, whom she rarely saw.
"Lil' Yan, when are you and Ningning planning to have children? Grandma wants to have a great-grandchild."
"Grandma, CEO Li and I don't have that kind of relationship." Grandma Li's words stunned Ning Zhi on the spot. She quickly glared at Li Yan, demanding an explanation.
"Grandma, what should I do? I quarreled with Ningning. She doesn't want to have children with me." Li Yan's words nearly made Ning Zhi's jaw drop.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Zhi scolded Li Yan even more forcefully. She did not know if Li Yan had been through some kind of shock to say such things.
Li Yan had also received guidance from Lu Ping. Last night, after Lu Ping got off the plane, he called Li Yan again. In summary, he said, "Stubborn women fear persistent suitors."
Since Lu Ping had more experience dealing with women, Li Yan chose to believe him, which led to the situation that had just occurred.
"I'm just telling the truth," Li Yan stifled a laugh. Ning Zhi now was different from before when she pretended to be obedient or when they had their disagreements. It was something he hadn't seen before—a lively and spirited rabbit that seemed to be more alive when driven mad by anger.
"You're still laughing!" Ning Zhi could not agitate Grandma Li, so she could only hit Li Yan and pinch him hard. Anyway, she was leaving soon, so Li Yan could not do anything to her.
Grandma Li, on the other hand, was smiling as she watched the two young people playfully bickering.
When Ning Zhi was leaving, Li Yan's grandmother had already fallen asleep. She gestured for Li Yan to accompany her out.
"What nonsense are you spouting in front of your grandmother?!" Ning Zhi questioned Li Yan angrily. "I'm quitting soon. What if your grandmother still wants to look for me in the future?"
"What nonsense did I say? You did argue with me, and indeed you refuse to have children with me." Li Yan felt wronged.
"Unreasonable!" Ning Zhi angrily glared at Li Yan and stomped away.
Li Yan looked at Ning Zhi stomping her feet and felt that she looked even more like a rabbit. He burst out laughing at the sight of her retreating.
Ning Zhi left the nursing home in anger. She felt that Li Yan had said inexplicable things in front of his grandmother. He didn't like her, yet he pretended to be affectionate in front of the elderly. How detestable!
In the nursing home, as soon as Li Yan saw Ning Zhi leave, he realized that his grandmother had already woken up.
The elderly woman sat on the bed with a serious expression. Her usually turbid eyes were exceptionally clear at that moment.
"I heard that you're getting married?" Grandma Li spoke up. She knew that her clear moments were limited, but she still wanted to take care of her family matters.
Especially for her grandson. Although his IQ was high, his EQ was lacking. He never knew how to interact with others. If it weren't for Lu Ping being willing to deal with him, Li Yan probably wouldn't have had any close friends.
