Meng Nianyao lowered her head and curled her fingers as if she was waiting for her judgment. Gu Wencheng saw her actions and reached out to hold the hand that wasn’t injected with needles. Warmth spread through Meng Nianyao’s palm.

“Do you think marriage is a game?” Grandpa Gu’s voice was deep and authoritative.”You didn’t tell us about your marriage and even hid it from us. Do you even think of us elders at all?”

“I was wrong in this matter.” Gu Wencheng glanced at Meng Nianyao. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Every time she trembled, it seemed to brush against his heart, making his heart soften.”! didn’t think it through. I’m sorry.” He didn’t find any excuses and admitted his mistake with a proper attitude.

After a while, Grandma Gu said, “Alright, old man, don’t say too much. Don’t scare Nianyao. You two can go out and solve your problems.” Then, she smiled at Meng Nianyao and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. Your grandfather isn’t against you. It’s just that Gu Wencheng didn’t discuss such a big matter with us.”

Grandma Gu looked at Gu Wencheng and pointed at him.”Go, go talk to your grandfather outside.”

Grandpa Gu glanced coldly at Gu Wencheng and turned to leave.

Gu Wencheng squeezed Meng Nianyao’s hand as if to reassure her before following her out.

Meng Nianyao and Grandma Gu were the only ones left in the ward. Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu and opened her mouth. She mustered up her courage and whispered, “Grandma, I’m sorry.”

Grandma Gu looked at her, her eyes full of affection. She had taking a liking to Meng Nianyao the first time she saw her. She could tell that she was introverted and insecure. In the past few days, she had actually been thinking about whether Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng were compatible; Meng Nianyao had a good personality, but she was quite stubborn. After Gu Wencheng’s first girlfriend, the Gu family hoped that he would find a more traditional and gentle girl to be his other half so that the two of them would be stable and support each other. Meng Nianyao obviously didn’t meet their requirements, but..

Grandma Gu sighed and sat down by the bed. She held Meng Nianyao’s hand.”Silly child, why are you apologizing to me? You didn’t do anything wrong. We’re not angry with you. We just think that Gu Wencheng is too unreliable. Not only did you disrespect us, but you’ve also suffered.”

Tears welled up in Meng Nianyao’s eyes. She had never received warmth from someone older than her. Grandma Gu was the first elder to treat her so well, and she felt very warm in her heart.

“Grandma..” Meng Nianyao took a deep breath and suppressed the heat in her eyes.” Actually, I’m not good. I’m not worthy of Gu Wencheng. I..” The word ‘divorce’ was on the tip of her tongue, but she could not bring herself to say it. “What nonsense are you talking about?”Grandma Gu frowned and shook her head when she saw Meng Nianyao’s eyes turn red.”Nianyao, we won’t interfere with Gu Wencheng’s love life, and we don’t have any ideas about matching up in the family, so you don’t need to feel inferior. It’s enough as long as you and Gu Wencheng are truly in love.”

Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu, not knowing how to tell her that there was no love between her and Gu Wencheng.

Gu Wencheng closed the door of the ward. After confirming that there was no sound inside, he followed Grandpa Gu.

Grandpa Gu didn’t speak, and neither did Gu Wencheng. The entire small living room was quiet. After a long time, Grandpa Gu turned his head and looked at Gu Wencheng with a dark expression. “What are you planning?”

“Grandpa, what can 1 be planning?” Gu Wencheng smiled. “Haven’t you been looking forward to me getting married soon? I’ve just found a suitable person to start a family.”

Grandpa Gu almost laughed out of anger. “I’ve been taking you with me since you were wearing diapers. You should think about it carefully when you lie to me!”

Gu Wencheng straightened his expression.” Grandpa, I’m not lying. I’m planning to get married when I find the right person.”

Grandpa Gu’s eyes were very dark and sharp. Gu Wencheng met his glare, not afraid at all. About two to three minutes later, Grandpa Gu snorted and left!

Grandpa Gu opened the door to the ward. Grandma Gu and Meng Nianyao were talking about something, but both of them had smiles on their faces. He greeted, “It’s getting late. We should go back.”

Grandma Gu and Meng Nianyao looked over. Grandpa Gu had always been cold to Meng Nianyao, so she couldn’t tell if Grandpa Gu had a problem with her and didn’t approve of her marriage with Gu Wencheng..
