Chapter 145 Not Troublesome

Upon hearing this, Director Qin glanced down at the time on his wrist, then noticed out of the corner of his eye that Old Master Zhou was slowly yawning. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly before nodding in agreement: "Alright, then I'll trouble Mr. Lin to help prepare the room."

"No trouble at all, it's nothing."

Lin Yan'an nodded in agreement and turned to Uncle Zhao, saying, "Uncle Zhao, please make the arrangements."

"OK."

Uncle Zhao immediately responded, turned to Director Qin and the others, and gestured for them to come this way: "Please come this way, everyone."

After saying this, he led everyone out of the living room.

Lin Yan'an walked over to Grandpa Zhou and helped him up, saying, "Grandpa, you've worked hard. Let me take you back to your room."

"No,"

Grandpa Zhou reached out and patted his hand, his eyes smiling: "You must be tired too, go back and rest early."

He paused, then added, "Go upstairs and check on your wife."

"Your wife is quite something."

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up, then couldn't help but laugh and complain, "This guy just got home, he's not even sober yet, and he's already caused me such a huge mess."

After speaking, Grandpa Zhou shook his head slightly, but still had a smile on his face. He looked Lin Yan'an up and down and nodded slowly: "Hmm, you've gained weight. It seems you've been doing well these days."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an's lips curled slightly, and he nodded in agreement: "It is indeed quite good."

"Have you been having nightmares a lot lately?"

His voice was concerned, and Lin Yan'an didn't hide anything from him.

However, since meeting Zhong Wan, I haven't told him about this.

Lin Yan'an helped Old Master Zhou walk while gently shaking his head: "No more."

"Hmm, not bad."

Seeing this, Cheng Yanzhou, after confirming that they had stopped talking, stepped forward and said, "President Lin, Grandpa Zhou, I'll go and rest now."

At this point, he looked at Lin Yan'an to confirm, "President Lin, should I go back to the company tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the company. I'll come with you."

The general direction of the script has been determined, but the issue of investors withdrawing their funding has not yet been resolved.

If nothing unexpected happens, he really will have to go back to the company tomorrow.

"OK."

"Yes, you've worked hard these past few days. I'll give you a break once things are done."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

"You're welcome, go and get some rest."

Cheng Yanzhou nodded in agreement, and after saying goodbye to the others, he headed towards the room that Uncle Zhao had arranged for him.

For a moment, only Grandpa Zhou, Lin Yan'an, and Pei Xingyao remained in the lively living room.

Looking at Pei Xingyao, who was still full of energy, and watching her enthusiastically approach the coffee table again, looking at Mr. Du on the drawing paper,

Lin Yan'an urged softly, "Yao Yao, you should rest too."

Pei Xingyao blinked at him: "But I'm not sleepy yet."

"Pei Xingyao!"

"Oh... I see."

Hearing his slightly impatient tone, Pei Xingyao immediately wilted and reluctantly got up: "Uncle, Great-Grandpa, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."

"Okay, goodnight."

Lin Yan'an helped Old Master Zhou back to his room and briefly recounted his recent experiences to him.

Finally, unable to contain himself, he looked at Grandpa Zhou and pleaded, "Grandpa, please take good care of Wanwan."

“I know that she has special abilities, as does Sui Sui… but they have no bad intentions; on the contrary, they have done a lot of good deeds.”

"Grandpa, I know that the country will pay more attention to them after I find out about this, but please don't be too harsh on them, okay? At the very least, they have the right to freedom."

Grandpa Zhou sat on the bed with a serious expression, his hands resting on his cane. He looked at his eldest grandson with deep eyes and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Yan An, your grandpa is old, but not senile."

"Your wife is quite something,"

He sighed softly and continued, "What I saw and heard tonight is still hard to process... Whether it's Mr. Du, the 'Records of Folk Customs,' her abilities, or that cat you mentioned named Sui Sui..."

"These are realities that defy common sense and cannot be explained by science. It is inevitable that the country attaches importance to them, but it is also for the purpose of protecting them and maintaining overall stability."

He paused, then looked sharply at Lin Yan'an: "It's protection, but also surveillance."

"But it's not imprisonment, and research doesn't equate to deprivation of freedom. I understand this principle, and so do those in power."

"But don't worry,"

Grandpa Zhou's tone softened considerably: "As long as Zhong Wan is a good person and Sui Sui is a good cat, as long as they don't do anything to harm the country or society, with me here, my old face can still help her have some peace of mind."

"Anyone who wants to treat them as mere research subjects or tools will have to ask me for my consent first!"

His tone was gentle, yet it still carried an undeniable air of authority.

With his assurance, Lin Yan'an's tense nerves relaxed considerably.

He nodded solemnly and thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"No need to thank me."

Grandpa Zhou waved his hand, a hint of fatigue on his face, and couldn't help but yawn: "We're all family, why be so polite? She's my granddaughter-in-law and...great-grandson?"

As he finished speaking, a hint of curiosity flickered in his somewhat tired eyes: "Yan An, what about my great-grandson cat? Is he easy to get along with?"

Seeing this, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but chuckle: "Grandpa, don't worry, Sui Sui is very easy to get along with."

“She is very well-behaved and smart. As long as you treat my daughter-in-law well, your great-grandson will treat you well in return.”

"Tsk."

Hearing this, Old Master Zhou understood: "He's protective of his own, just like me!"

"What does your wife like? I'll prepare a gift for our first meeting."

Thinking of Zhong Wan, thinking of her preferences,

Lin Yan'an's expression softened considerably, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Wanwan likes me."

Grandpa Zhou was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't help but glance at Lin Yan'an and retort, "Who asked you that!"

Lin Yan'an shrugged: "Besides me, Wanwan loves money the most."

Grandpa Zhou was taken aback when he heard this, then couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this girl is indeed honest."

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Get out of here, I need to rest."

Very well, the warmth is fleeting.

Lin Yan'an calmly stood up, as she was used to it: "Goodnight, Grandpa."

"good evening."

After leaving the room and considerately closing the door behind him, Lin Yan'an couldn't wait to return to his room as well.

Inside the room, Zhong Wan's face was still a little pale, but she was much better than before, and her breathing was heavier.

Lin Yan'an walked quietly to the bedside and sat down. He gently raised his hand to check the temperature of her forehead, then slowly leaned down and gently pressed his forehead against hers.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the temperature, which was slightly higher than his body temperature.

He lowered his eyes, looking at Zhong Wan's sleeping face, gently placed a kiss on her forehead, and murmured, "Wanwan...you scared me to death."
