Chapter 133 - 133 Gift
133 Gift
What He Miao could not say was that the reason Grandpa Jing had disappeared in the following plot was that he was about to die in some kind of accident.
However, what she had experienced now had changed too much because of her interference. She could not be sure if the things in the book would still develop according to the established trajectory.
However, no matter what happened in the future, Grandpa Jing would always love her, and she had to be careful.
The two of them did not dare to go upstairs and disturb the old man’s rest. They waited on the sofa until dawn before they heard the sound of the stairs and looked up.
The butler helped the old man down the stairs. When he saw the two of them, he could not help but say, “Young Master and Miss He came early in the morning. It seems that they really miss you.”
Old Master Jing smiled in relief, his heart warmed, but he could not help but reprimand them. “You two are really… It’s fine if you came late, but why did you come back so early? Don’t young people like to sleep in these days? Why are you two so special?”
He Miao smiled and shook her head. “Grandpa, we like to be with you, as long as you don’t find us annoying.”
“This child is getting better at talking.” Old Master Jing pointed at He Miao, but he looked at the butler with a smug look.
The old butler had been working for the Jing family for decades. He was more like an old friend than a servant. He felt like showing off when he saw his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law being so filial to him.
The butler smiled and nodded. “Yes, Miss He is treating you as her own grandfather!”
The old man smiled happily. When he looked at Jing Yan, he sipped his tea nonchalantly and asked, “How did you guys agree to come here together so early? Were you two together the whole night?”
Jing Yan understood his grandfather’s meaning. Under the old man’s increasingly serious gaze, he told him what had happened last night.
Only then did He Miao realize that Jing Yan had actually taken such a big risk for her sake. He looked at him disapprovingly. “Don’t do such a thing next time. You have a special identity, and you can’t let others have a hold on you.”
Jing Yan knew that she was concerned about him, so he nodded happily. No matter what He Miao wanted him to do now, he would do it without hesitation.
Old Master Jing sipped his tea as he calmly watched He Miao teach Jing Yan a lesson. His gaze gradually grew distant, and through the shadows of these two young people, he seemed to see himself from decades ago.
At that time, he also had the drive of a young man, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to win a smile from a beauty. After being taught a lesson by his father, he still did not repent, and after going through many hardships, he finally won the beauty.
Jing Yan had inherited his temper when he was young, but it was a pity that he was the only one left who could see the two children together, and he probably did not have much time left.
The butler coughed lightly and interrupted the Old Master’s thoughts with a smile. “Breakfast is ready. Old Master, Young Master, and Young Miss, please go and eat first.”
“That’s right. I’m happy to see you two, but I forgot such an important thing.” The old man turned around, secretly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and walked into the dining room with his back straight.
He had never shed a tear in his life. He did not expect that people who were about to die would be so weak.
He Miao and Jing Yan glanced at each other, then ate with the old man, one on the left and one on the right. They talked and laughed at the table to make him happy.
Looking at the old man’s state, He Miao was more and more certain of her guess. After dinner, she suddenly held onto the old man’s arm and smiled sweetly. “Grandpa, I suddenly remembered that I left a gift for you at school. Can you wait for me? I’ll go back to get it for you.”
“What’s that?” The old man asked with a smile, his eyes subconsciously looking at Jing Yan, who was standing aside.
Jing Yan had not heard what present He Miao had prepared for his grandfather, so he looked at her in confusion. “What is it? I’ll send you to the school to get it.”
“Then you guys should go.” Old Master Jing was happy to see the two of them alone. He brought them together and said, “I’ll be waiting for you at home. Come back quickly.”
Jing Yan pulled He Miao’s hand and left together. When they got into the car, he asked in confusion, “What gift did you prepare? How could you forget it in school?”
“It’s a fragrance sachet that I made myself. It can help you sleep and is good for your health. I wanted to bring it back yesterday, but I forgot about it after what happened.” He Miao lowered her eyes in guilt.
She had prepared this sachet a long time ago and stored it in a sealed bag. The old man’s body seemed to be strong, but in fact, one could see his fatigue from the corner of his eyes and the tip of his brows.
It was easy to imagine that an old man had to work hard to support such a big company. How could it not be hard?
She just wanted to do everything she could to make him sleep better.
