As soon as she sat down, Grandma Mu handed Xia Fanxing a big bunch of brightly colored cherries and placed them in her hand, "Fanxing, try these. They were air-shipped here this morning, very sweet. Grandma bought them especially for you."
"Thank you, Grandma, I can't eat that many. I'll leave them here for now and have some later," Xia Fanxing said, feeling a bit embarrassed. She was already grown up and yet the elderly were still thinking of buying her fruits.
Grandma Mu, with a happy face, said, "Okay, leave them here and eat them slowly. Grandma bought a whole big box."
Then they chatted about many things, and Xia Fanxing patiently responded.
On the other hand, Mu Hanchen ran out of patience and interjected, "Grandma, you've said so much, what is the real reason you called us back? I still have a pile of work at the company..."
Grandma Mu's smiling face turned stern upon hearing Mu Hanchen's words, and she even got a bit angry as she complained, "Work, work, all you think about is work. In your eyes, is work more important, or is your wife more important?"
Xia Fanxing's heart suddenly panicked. It couldn't be that her divorce with Mu Hanchen had reached her grandmother's ears, could it?
She instinctively looked at Mu Hanchen, her expression tense.
Signaling him not to let anything slip.
Mu Hanchen frowned slightly, "Okay, I won't talk about work. You just say it, what's the matter?"
"I just want to ask when you two are planning to have children. I'm not getting any younger, and my health is deteriorating every day, cough cough cough!" Grandma Mu just finished her sentence when she started coughing violently.
Xia Fanxing turned pale with fright and quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath, "Grandma, are you alright? Maybe you should go for a checkup at the hospital."
Grandma Mu gently waved her hand, "I know my own body, no need for a hospital. If you two could just give me a big, fat great-grandson this year, I would die content!"
Xia Fanxing tightly held her grandmother's hand and chided displeasedly, "Grandma! I won't allow you to talk nonsense like that, cursing yourself."
Grandma Mu tenderly stroked her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, your grandma won't die anytime soon, but I really do want to hold a great-grandchild."
"These past few days, Grandma keeps dreaming that you're pregnant with a baby, and the whole family is so happy, but then suddenly you're gone, it really scared me."
"I worry something might have happened to you, or that Achen bullied you and you left and never came back. That's why I was so anxious to have both of you come back, to make sure there's been no conflict between you two, right?"
Xia Fanxing was surprised; she hadn't expected Grandma Mu's dreams to be so accurate, even predicting that there was an issue between her and Mu Hanchen.
Mu Hanchen looked deeply at Xia Fanxing,
Xia Fanxing immediately widened her eyes.
They couldn't tell, they absolutely couldn't tell!
If they revealed it now, there would be serious trouble.
Mu Hanchen's lips curved slightly, keeping the divorce hidden, "No."
"That's good to hear. If you have no conflicts, then you should quickly put having children on the agenda, especially you, Achen. Don't work all day, money is endless but time is not."
"The person in front of you is what's most important, especially Fanxing. You must treat her well, never bully her, and definitely don't make her angry."
"Otherwise, Grandma will disown you as my grandson!"
Mu Hanchen couldn't help but give a wry smile, "Grandma, aren't you being a bit too partial? What if she is the one who bullies me?"
The divorce was indeed her proposal.
He couldn't even object to it.
Grandma Mu glared at Mu Hanchen angrily, "Impossible, Fanxing is such a good child, how could she possibly bully you! Don't forget, when you were in a coma after the car accident, almost becoming a vegetable, it was Fanxing who took care of you day and night."
"After you woke up and couldn't get out of bed, became irritable, even I didn't dare to approach you easily, it was Fanxing who patiently coaxed you and accompanied you through the rehabilitation training, that's why you have today!"
As she spoke, the old lady's tears began to flow.
The days when Mu Hanchen was in the accident were truly too hard to endure.
If not for Xia Fanxing stepping forward, tirelessly taking care of Mu Hanchen until he woke up, the skies of the Mu Family might have changed long ago.
Such a debt of gratitude did not allow Mu Hanchen to do anything that would betray Xia Fanxing.
Even if there was, with her, the old lady around, she would always support Xia Fanxing!
Seeing this, Xia Fanxing quickly took out tissues to wipe her grandmother's tears, "Grandma, don't talk like that, it's all in the past."
She took care of Mu Hanchen willingly and didn't want to use that as a reason for him to repay her.
But no matter how many times she said those words, Mu Hanchen seemed to never believe them…
"Alright, let's not talk about the past. Talking about the present, you two have been married for three years already, it's time to have a child. I don't care what the reason is, you must have a child this year, otherwise, I just... I just... cough cough cough, won't live any longer!" Grandma Mu coughed as she issued her ultimatum.
Xia Fanxing hadn't expected Grandma Mu to be so extreme in her thinking, she looked worriedly at Mu Hanchen, wondering what they should do.
