“I’m fine, I’m fine. You’re all here. What could happen to me? come in, come in quickly.”
The shocked old man was overjoyed. For a moment, he did not even care about Tong Lu. He quickly grabbed Leng Yejin’s hand as if he had found a treasure. He was busy making tea and serving snacks.
Leng Yejin sat down respectfully and chatted with the old lady. Tong Lu had married him because of this old lady. It was clear that they had a deep relationship. The old lady also gave off a kind vibe, unlike Tong Lu’s father’s family.
“Have some tea, have some tea.”
“Grandma, don’t tire yourself out.” Leng Yejin took the cup of tea with both hands.
“I’m not tired, I’m not tired.” Grandma was extremely satisfied with her grandson-in-law.
Tong Lu stood at the side and kept winking at Leng Yejin. However, Leng Yejin ignored her completely. He only kept talking to the old lady.
It was hard to tell what would happen to the old lady. She kept telling Tong Lu about the bitterness and heartache that she had felt when she was taking care of the child over the years. Leng Yejin drank his tea and listened attentively. He would occasionally glance at her, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes. He knew that it was not easy for a woman to raise a child. Otherwise, he would not have protected her.
Lulu has had a hard time these past few years. She has to raise the child and go to school. You’re not a good husband. You deserve a beating, ” the old lady said with bitter tears.
“Grandma, you’re right. I’m not competent enough to let her suffer.” Moreover, he was also making her suffer now. However, for now, he could only let her continue to suffer, or her life would be even more difficult.
Tong Lu stood by the side helplessly.’What’s going on?’
“Lulu, what are you standing there for?” Grandma quickly walked over and took Tong Lu’s hand. She handed it to Leng Yejin and grinned from ear to ear. I can tell that you’re a good child. You must correct your mistakes. In the future, you can’t leave my granddaughter alone, do you understand? ”
Tong Lu felt embarrassed. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Leng Yejin quickly reached out and grabbed her hand.
He sat there with a slight smile, looking mature and Noble. No matter how one looked at him, he was the type that the old man liked. He was not as arrogant as he was at home and was actually quite polite.”Grandma, don’t worry. Once you hold it, you won’t let it go. Right, wife?”
Tong Lu’s heart skipped a beat. Wife?
“Little uncle, what are you doing?” he asked in a low voice.
look at how happy the old lady is. Don’t treat her good intentions as ill intentions. Leng Yejin pulled her into his arms, and his voice brushed past her ears.
Tong Lu wanted to break free but could not. She had no choice but to pretend to be in love and chat with her grandmother. She felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart and felt even more uneasy. Was he trying to make her grandmother happy?
It was getting late. She wanted to stay behind to keep her grandmother company and asked Leng Yejin to go back first. However, her grandmother insisted that they stay behind together.
The house was very small. There were two bedrooms and one living room. Tong Lu felt helpless when her grandmother shoved her into her uncle’s bedroom. She had no choice but to lay out the clean bed sheets and duvet covers. She thought to herself that she would put on an act first and then coax her grandmother to sleep.
However, grandma treated herself as the host and them as guests. She would only go to sleep when she saw them enter the room.
Tong Lu did not know what to do. She could no longer continue her act.
Leng Yejin strode into the room with his long legs.
are we really going to sleep together? ” Tong Lu cried out in surprise.
“You sleep on the floor, I’ll sleep on the bed!”
Tong Lu could not help but mumble,’why aren’t you being gentlemanly at a time like this? Shouldn’t men say you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the ground?”
When Leng Yejin heard this, he stared at her with a complicated expression. He looked down at her from above.”Could it be that you want to roll off the bed in the middle of the night and fall into my arms?”
