Everyone chatted and joked around, and the meal ended in a joyful atmosphere.

Shen Niannian's belly had grown quite a bit, but these past few days had been a rare happy time for her, so after dinner she went back to the bedroom with Luo Qingyuan and Sun Xiaoyin.

It was at this moment that the atmosphere at the dinner table fell into an somewhat eerie silence.

Luo Shuyang spoke first: "Let's be honest after the wedding tomorrow."

"I'm going to the hospital first."

After saying that, Luo Shuyang got up to leave, but Chen Manhua grabbed his hand: "Grandma won't wake up, will she?"

That one sentence plunged everyone's spirits into despair once again.

Zhao Ruoxi hadn't expected things to happen so suddenly. The old lady was perfectly fine, so why did she suddenly go out?

Why is Mom going out? Where is she going?

"Things have come to this point, are you two still not going to tell the truth?"

Those high-sounding reasons might be acceptable to others, but Zhao Ruoxi wouldn't believe them.

If there wasn't a compelling reason for her to go, why would the old lady leave?

Luo Shuyang's expression was serious because he knew that if his mother found out why his grandmother left the Luo family that day, the wedding would likely be disrupted again. Therefore, he remained silent for the moment.

Just as Luo Kunjing was about to make amends, two people walked in through the door.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Ming were both carrying loads of things.

Luo Shuyang's eyes lit up, and he quickly went over: "Uncle, Second Uncle, what brings you here?"

Zhao Yu: "Tomorrow is a big day, of course we have to come."

Zhao Ming: "Yes, we should get together properly."

Luo Shuyang: "Have you eaten yet? I'll have someone make you a new one..."

Zhao Yu waved his hand repeatedly: "No need, I ate before I came."

"Where's Qingyuan? I haven't seen her in so long..."

"Qingyuan is busy upstairs, so please have a seat..."

The three people walked over while talking.

Zhao Ming: "Big sister, Mom and Dad will arrive on time tomorrow morning."

Luo Qingyuan's maternal grandparents live abroad, very far away, requiring various transfers to get there. This time, they specially put aside their work to come over for Luo Qingyuan's wedding.

Zhao Yu sighed, "You know how much Mom and Dad love Qingyuan..."

Zhao Ming: "Yes, my brother and I have been in jail for so long, and we haven't seen our parents come back to China to visit even once."

Zhao Ruoxi's expression finally softened a bit: "Can you be compared to Qingyuan?"

"You should all reflect on your actions."

Zhao Yu and Zhao Ming smiled and agreed, and the topic was temporarily changed thanks to their interruption.

Luo Shuyang took this opportunity to leave the Luo family, and Chen Manhua returned to her room. Looking at her sleeping daughter's innocent face, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

When she first married into this family, she was almost prickly. Whenever she and Shuyang had a conflict, the old lady would always stand by her side. Even though she was far away across the ocean, she would still travel thousands of miles to see her, her granddaughter-in-law.

Once, Chen Manhua overheard the old lady giving instructions to Luo Shuyang in the corridor.

"Shuyang, now that Manhua has married you, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a husband. No girl doesn't want to marry someone she loves. No matter how your marriage started, she is now your wife."

"Shuyang, feelings can be cultivated. Manhua is excellent, impeccable in both background and appearance. One should learn to be content with what one has."

"A man should protect his wife and children; you can't bully them."

Luo Shuyang looked incredibly impatient back then, which Chen Manhua finds somewhat amusing now, but then she thinks of the old lady lying in the hospital bed, and Chen Manhua feels even more saddened.

She and Luo Shuyang were able to get to where they are today entirely thanks to the old lady's efforts. Otherwise, they probably would have secretly divorced before their relationship had even developed.

Chen Manhua sent another message to Luo Shuyang, expressing her strong desire to stay by her grandmother's side and take care of her.

The child can be temporarily cared for by a nanny.

But Luo Shuyang rejected her again.

At this moment, Chen Manhua naturally knew that she shouldn't alert the enemy, but she couldn't help but think that if she held this grand wedding at the cost of never being able to see her grandmother one last time, how heartbroken would Qingyuan be when the lie was exposed?

That was her grandmother who raised her from childhood.

The Luo family home was bustling with activity. Luxury cars drove in one after another, and even though it was already evening, the headlights illuminated the entire Luo family home as bright as day. The sounds of laughter and chatter from the front yard could be heard even from here.

Chen Manhua was anxious; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Luo Qingyuan was having a long phone conversation with Duan Ye.

"Ah Ye, I haven't seen Grandma for two days, but my brother said she's prepared a surprise for me and won't let me see her for now."

Duan Ye smiled and said, "It seems that Grandma really spoils my wife."

"Of course. When I was little, my parents were always traveling to different places, and my grandfather passed away early. I was studying abroad alone, and my grandmother was always with me. It wasn't until I graduated and was about to return to China to take over the company that my grandmother accompanied me back. I am closer to my grandmother than to my parents."

Duan Ye listened attentively: "Okay, then how about we bring Grandma to live with us in Moon Bay after we get married? Our place is big, and if we have children in the future, Grandma will probably be very happy."

Luo Qingyuan's eyes lit up: "I did have this idea, but I never dared to tell you. You don't mind?"

Duan Ye laughed and said, "How could I mind? She's the most important grandmother in your life."

"Hehe, thank you, honey."

Upon hearing Luo Qingyuan's coquettish tone, Duan Ye's heart melted, and his tone softened as well: "Alright, baby, go to sleep. We have to get up before dawn to put on makeup, and we'll be busy tomorrow."

Luo Qingyuan smiled and nodded. After saying goodnight to each other, they hung up the phone.

But remembering what Luo Qingyuan had said, Duan Ye still called Luo Shuyang, who took a while to answer.

"Why are you calling at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Duan Ye went straight to the point: "Qingyuan said she hasn't seen her grandma for two days. Where did grandma go?"

Luo Shuyang was taken aback, but quickly recovered and looked at the old lady on the hospital bed who was still wearing a breathing mask, and said, "Stay with me."

"Alright, stop worrying about it. Tomorrow's the wedding, you should just go to sleep."

Hearing Luo Shuyang's words, Duan Ye felt much more at ease.

Therefore, Duan Ye once again proposed the idea of ​​bringing the old lady to live with him after the wedding.

Luo Shuyang's eyes inexplicably reddened, but his voice remained calm: "After the wedding, ask Grandma yourself. If she's willing, I have nothing to say."

Duan Ye agreed and was about to hang up the phone.

Luo Shuyang said, "Duan Ye, you have to treat my sister well, okay?"

Duan Ye: "What you're saying sounds strange. She's my wife, of course I'll treat her well, don't worry."
