Grandma Lin then realized that she had been too impulsive. She had always been like this; she couldn't keep anything to herself and wanted to say it all at once.
She looked at Lin Qingyan and quickly smiled, "I'm happy every day to be with my own granddaughter." She nudged Old Master Dong, "Aren't you happy living here?"
Grandpa Dong burst out laughing.
Reunited with my granddaughter, and with my husband's dementia cured, they are now by my side taking care of me. There is nothing happier than this.
"Happy, happy. How could I not be happy? For so many years, I've been looking forward to living a life like this." He stretched his arms and stood up, as if he had already forgotten the unpleasantness just now. "I remember now, there are still weeds in the vegetable garden outside. I'll go pull some more weeds."
"Grandpa, you should rest for a while. The weeds outside don't matter, your health is the most important thing."
Grandpa Dong was very obedient and sat back down: "Hahaha, Qingyan said to rest for a while, so I'll rest for a while before going."
A dozen minutes later, the old man couldn't sit still anymore, so Lin Qingyan allowed him to go and pull weeds.
"Grandpa, please be careful when you move around."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Seeing the old man's enthusiasm, Lin Qingyan said, "Grandpa, since you like pulling weeds so much, if there aren't enough weeds in the vegetable garden for you to pull, I'll plant some more."
"Hahaha, then I can enjoy the pleasure of weeding more often."
He went outside and recalled the scene of Xu Xinning's kind advice and her sharp retort, as well as the scene of his wife and granddaughter worrying about him. In an instant, he seemed to understand many things again.
He sighed and said to Lin Qingyan, "When people get old, it's good enough if they can take care of themselves and not worry the younger generation. I can't meddle in things that aren't my business anymore. Your grandmother and I are both old. The days when we had to worry about things are over. Now I just want to be with your grandmother and live out the rest of my life in peace and leisure, enjoying the family happiness that belongs to us."
"It would be even better if you could give me a baby to take care of." Grandma Lin spoke her mind and couldn't help but urge Lin Qingyan to have a baby again: "It gets boring when just the two of you are together for a long time."
"Grandma, how about I get you a kitten or puppy to keep you company?"
Grandma Lin chuckled, "Let's wait and see. I've heard young people these days talking about 'just the two of us.' If you're not in a rush to have children, I'll just enjoy some more time alone with your grandpa. Hahahaha."
Lin Qingyan thought of the food still being cooked in the kitchen: "Grandma, you stay with Grandpa, I'll go check on the food in the kitchen."
Grandpa Dong was feeling quite cheerful: "No need for you to stay with me. I'm going to weed the vegetable garden. I'll have your grandma cook for you."
He went out the door and walked towards the vegetable garden. Lin Qingyan and Grandma Lin saw that he was alright, so they went into the kitchen. They could see his every move in the vegetable garden through the kitchen door, so they could go over to him at any time if anything happened to him.
After leaving Lin Qingyan's house, Xu Xinning's anger intensified. She not only hated Lin Qingyan with a vengeance, but also began to hate Old Master Dong.
It was as if all the love and care she had received over the years had vanished. All she could think about now was the image of Master Dong scolding Lin Qingyan, and the resentment in her heart was churning endlessly.
You're a family, you're very happy, but you treat me like an outsider and don't welcome me in your home. Humph, let's see how long you can be so smug.
Her mother planned to betray the Dong family to gain the opportunity to go abroad. Only when the Dong family and Lin Qingyan ceased to exist could she find peace of mind.
After dinner, Lin Qingyan did not immediately tell Lu Zhengting about getting the jade pendant back. As usual, Lu Zhengting played chess with Grandpa Dong, while Lin Qingyan chatted with her mother-in-law or did some other chores.
Around nine o'clock, the two elderly people got sleepy and went back to their own room. Lin Qingyan pulled Lu Zhengting back into the room and said, "Come here, I have something very important to tell you."
Seeing his wife acting mysteriously, Lu Zhengting locked the outer door and went back to the bedroom with her.
"Honey, what major discovery have you made?"
Lin Qingyan gave him a knowing look, then took the phoenix jade pendant out of her spatial storage. She tilted her chin slightly at him and said, "Zhengting, look, I got it back."
Lu Zhengting glanced at the jade pendant. The fine mutton fat jade appeared slightly dull under the dim incandescent light, making it even more lustrous and smooth like water.
“Wife, this really is a pair with your dragon jade pendant.”
"Yes."
He grabbed Lu Zhengting's hand, opened his large palm, and placed the jade pendant in his palm.
“I have a personal space now. I want you to bind this jade pendant to your name with your blood. You often go on missions, and having a personal space will ensure your safety to the greatest extent and help you complete your missions faster and better.”
Lin Qingyan had actually considered giving the jade pendant to other members of the Dong family, but it wasn't appropriate.
Firstly, the Dong family has three cousins, almost all of whom need the space, and then there's their uncle, Dong Bonian. Giving the space to any of the four wouldn't be feasible.
She only has one husband, so she doesn't need to worry about how to allocate him.
Secondly, none of those people knew about her secret of having a spatial dimension, nor did they know that there was a spatial dimension inside the Phoenix Jade Pendant. Apart from her, only Lu Zhengting knew.
Third, husband and wife are one. She and Lu Zhengting are not only emotionally intertwined, but also share common interests. Therefore, this jade pendant is the most suitable gift for Lu Zhengting.
