As Grandma Tong watched her busy in the kitchen, she asked, "Why did you come alone today? Your husband dotes on you like the apple of his eye. How can he feel at ease if you come alone?"

Yang Qiaoqiao had no intention of telling the old man about her divorce.

I'm thinking of what excuse to come up with.

Then they heard a knock on the door.

Yang Qiaoqiao quickly wiped her hands and went to open the door, but the old lady got there first.

Upon seeing Huo Beixiao standing outside the courtyard gate, the old lady said, "Speak of the devil and he appears! I was just telling that girl that you treat her like your own eyes, how could you let her come alone, and here you are!"

Upon hearing Grandma Tong's words, Huo Beixiao's eyes lit up with a smile.

He knew that Qiaoqiao wouldn't have the heart to tell the old lady about their divorce.

As long as Qiaoqiao doesn't say anything, he will have the opportunity to get close to Qiaoqiao in front of the old lady.

"Grandma Tong," Huo Beixiao said with a genuine smile, "I had some errands to run and was delayed when I got back, so I couldn't be with Qiaoqiao."

Grandma Tong, looking impatient with their public display of affection, waved her hand and said, "Alright, your wife is cooking in the kitchen, you should go now."

Huo Beixiao walked into the kitchen and saw Yang Qiaoqiao washing vegetables. He quickly pulled her hand out of the basin.

He dried her hands with a handkerchief, and then gently held them in his large hands with a look of tenderness, saying, "Qiaoqiao, you can't touch cold water these two days. I'll warm your hands for you. I'll wash the vegetables and cook the meal. You can go and talk to Grandma Tong for a while."

Yang Qiaoqiao looked up at Huo Beixiao in surprise when she heard his words.

These past two days have been her period, so she definitely shouldn't touch cold water.

But she didn't expect that Huo Beixiao would still remember it to this day.

Huo Beixiao met her surprise and smiled, saying, "Qiaoqiao, I've made so many medicines to get your period back on track, and I don't want to mess it up again."

"Then you'll have to drink those bitter medicines to recover, and it will break my heart."
