Chapter 59 The Angrier I Get, the More I Care
Probably because of the dream, Jian Mo felt uncomfortable along the way. Sitting next to Huo Qichen, she didn't know where to put her hands, and her breathing was disordered.
Huo Qichen finished his work on his phone and his eyes fell on her wrist. "You're quite skilled now."
Jian Mo realized it later, and then pointed at the ring on his ring finger, "You are the same, practice makes perfect."
A suffocating silence.
Arriving at the old house, Jian Mo quickly got out of the car, fearing that if she stayed with Huo Qichen any longer, she would catch fire. However, she walked too fast, twisted her left foot, and nearly fell to the ground.
"ah!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" A big hand grabbed her waist and pulled her back into his arms.
Seeing Huo Qichen's anxious expression, Jian Mo froze again and quickly broke away from his embrace, "I, I can do it myself."
Suddenly, my grandfather's cheerful voice came from the door, "You two are so clingy."
Jian Mo quickly waved her hands and tried to explain, but Huo Qichen hugged her again and said loudly, "Grandpa, Xiaomo sprained her foot. Do you have safflower oil?"
Grandpa stopped joking and said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, quickly bring Xiaomo in!"
After saying that, he told Aunt Liu to get the medicine.
Huo Qi Chen picked up the woman by the waist and strode in. Jian Mo subconsciously put her arms around his neck and stared at his jawline in a daze.
"Actually... I can walk on my own."
"If you're not afraid of falling to death, then leave." He frowned, a look of anger on his face.
“…”
Jian Mo was placed on the sofa. Aunt Liu brought a medicine box, took out safflower oil and handed it to Huo Qichen, "Why are you so careless?"
Grandpa was even more exaggerated, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Jian Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandpa, I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle a little, but it will be fine soon."
Huo Qichen half-knelt aside, poured safflower oil into his palms, rubbed his hands to warm them up, and then applied it to her ankles. She was thin and not even a hand's length could be held. His big hands stayed there for a long time, and his technique was very professional.
Her ankle felt warm, but she didn't know if it was due to psychological reasons, but she didn't feel any pain anymore.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Huo Qichen raised his eyes, still using the same tone as before, "Irritable."
"I……"
It’s like when you did something wrong as a child and were scolded by your father.
Grandpa smiled delicately and quickly comforted her, "Don't take it personally. Ah Chen always speaks like this. He looks angry, but he actually cares about you. The angrier he is, the more he cares about you."
is that so?
Jian Mo gave him a questioning look, but he didn't respond and got up to wash his hands.
It seems to be the case.
Jian Mo raised her lips and continued, "I know Grandpa, I understand Achen."
Grandpa smiled even more happily.
After not visiting for half a month, Jian Mo showed concern for her grandfather's condition. She held his hand and repeated over and over again that he must remember to take medicine and get more rest.
There was no pretense involved. She liked this old man. He was not only kind but also extremely good to her. She could feel that he was sincere. So even if she wasn't acting for Huo Qichen, she was willing to be good to him.
"I don't have a grandfather, so you are like my own grandfather to me."
When Huo Qichen came out after washing his hands, he heard these words and stopped.
"Oh, your grandpa passed away early?"
Jian Mo did not reveal her true situation and nodded.
"Okay, it's okay, kid. I will be your real grandpa from now on." Grandpa liked her to begin with, and now after hearing this, he felt even more distressed.
Huo Qichen listened to them and then walked behind Jian Mo. He naturally fixed her hair and said, "You kidnapped my grandfather while I was washing my hands. You are really capable."
He half-jokingly leaned close to Jian Mo's ear.
She shuddered and quickly analyzed whether he was acting or behaving naturally. This was very important, but unfortunately the analysis was fruitless.
"You little rascal, you and Xiaomo are already married, so why should we separate yours and hers as a family?" Grandpa scolded, leaning on his crutch.
Huo Qichen raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if coaxing a child, "Okay, we're a family."
Jian Mo couldn't help but smile. This atmosphere made it seem as if he was really his wife.
She sprained her ankle, and Huo Qi Chen carried her to the dining table. When he stood up, he was held down by the woman's weak hand.
"Actually, I can walk by myself, no need to bother." Such close contact makes people feel distracted.
Huo Qichen pressed the back of her head with his big hand and whispered in her ear, "Grandpa is watching."
After that, the two separated quickly, but from the grandfather's point of view, it was very sweet and he felt relieved.
At the dinner table, Grandpa asked about Jian Mo's family situation. "I heard from Achen that your father is still in the hospital. Is he feeling better now?"
"No, the doctor said that this disease cannot be cured urgently and it all depends on God's will." Jian Mo told the truth.
"Well..." Grandpa pondered, "It's been a while since you got married, but the banquet hasn't been held yet, and the elders from both sides haven't met. Why don't I pick a time to visit your father? I'm sure he'll be happy to hear this while he's in his coma."
Jian Mo was shocked. If her father heard that she had gotten married without her permission, he would be furious.
She winked at Huo Qichen frantically, then waved her hands, "How can this be? You are not in good health and should not go out. It is better not to go to places like the hospital."
"I'm feeling much better now, don't worry. Some basic etiquette is still necessary."
Huo Qi Chen slowly poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of the flustered Jian Mo.
"The doctor said her father is much better and it's only a matter of time before he wakes up. Grandpa, we should wait until he wakes up so we can have a proper meeting. It will also be more formal, what do you think?"
He said steadily.
Grandpa thought about it and seemed to think it made sense. At the end, he said fiercely, "You little bastard, what do you mean by 'her father'? I told you and Xiaomo are family. Her father is your father. Call him dad!"
Jian Mo widened her eyes, shocked by the vicious words.
How could I be worthy enough to have Huo Qichen call me dad?
"Um, Grandpa..."
Huo Qichen was under the table, grabbing Jian Mo's hand and stopping her, "Forget it, I'll listen to you."
Grandpa smiled happily.
Jian Mo felt complicated and turned to look at the man.
After dinner, the room on the second floor.
"Don't take what Grandpa said to heart. There's no need to yell after me."
Jian Mo sat on the soft bed, afraid that he would misunderstand.
Huo Qichen was opening his computer as he had some urgent work to deal with. "Grandpa is right. In essence, we are indeed a family, so it doesn't matter if you call me that."
Does it matter? Why do I feel like "whoever wants to call me can call me" is Huo Qichen's style.
Jian Mo fell forward, "Do you have a job?"
"Well, there is a temporary project that needs to be reviewed."
She stopped disturbing him, perhaps because she had just eaten, but she was drowsy lying on the bed.
I tried to hold it back at first, but later I couldn’t and fell asleep all of a sudden.
Huo Qi Chen didn't hear any sound for a long time. He subconsciously glanced to the side and saw the woman hugging the pillow and sleeping soundly.
It was only a dozen centimeters away from him.
