When Nangong Yi returned to the ward, Su Xiaoxiao was wiping her grandfather's body. He raised an eyebrow, quickly took the towel from his wife's hand, and whispered a few words to her.
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, and the helplessness in her eyes became clear at this moment.
"Grandpa, Nangong Yi said he wants to wipe your body to show his filial piety as a grandson-in-law."
"Grandpa, Xiaoxiao just had surgery, and I'm worried that her body can't handle it. I hope you won't blame me."
Nangong Yi quickly explained, not wanting Su Xiangming to think he was jealous of an old man.
However, when Su Xiangming heard that Su Xiaoxiao had just undergone surgery, he immediately opened his eyes and turned to look at his little granddaughter.
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, and quickly shook her head at Su Xiangming, saying, "Grandpa, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just a jealous person. He's deliberately making a fuss about my health. Look, Xiaoxiao is perfectly fine."
After saying that, she slowly turned around in a big circle in front of Su Xiangming.
Nangong Yi instantly understood Su Xiaoxiao's intention, and he pretended to cough a few times, indicating that he was not feeling well.
"Grandpa, you know Xiaoxiao's temper. She's always been mischievous and loves to make trouble. Please don't listen to her nonsense."
"Where did I misbehave? It's you who's always getting jealous."
Su Xiaoxiao glared at Nangong Yi with annoyance, then carefully squatted down by the bedside, holding onto the edge of the bed. She took Su Xiangming's hand and continued in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, you must get better soon, so I'll have another person to support me."
"Yes, yes, you have the most people backing you up."
Seeing that the worry in Su Xiangming's eyes had faded somewhat, Nangong Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He just let it slip. If Su Xiangming knew that Su Xiaoxiao had really had surgery, he might start to worry about her health instead.
When he saw his young wife pinch his calf in displeasure, he immediately cleared his throat and asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you staying here tonight?"
"If I stay here, won't I be exposed?"
Su Xiaoxiao also wanted to stay and keep her grandfather company, but if she did that, it would be tantamount to admitting that she really was Su Xiaoxiao.
Even if Shan Jinxi noticed, she only wanted to continue pretending until he broke through the barrier.
Nangong Yi affectionately pinched Su Xiaoxiao's nose and said with a helpless expression, "Shan Jinxi and Owen went to 'Rose Aegean Sea' for drinks. While you were chatting with Grandpa earlier, that crazy woman put on another show in front of Owen. The two of them must have gone to discuss their next move."
"Let's go to a bar to discuss our strategy?"
Su Xiaoxiao felt something was off, but she didn't ask too many questions in front of her grandfather.
Although Su Xiangming could not speak normally, he could clearly hear Nangong Yi's concern for Su Xiaoxiao.
He struggled to raise his hand, and Su Xiaoxiao immediately grasped her grandfather's hand firmly. When she saw her grandfather raise his other hand, she quickly reached out and shook it.
However, before she could even hold her grandfather's hand, she noticed that as soon as he put his hand down, he immediately turned his gaze to Nangong Yi, opened his mouth again as if to say something, but still couldn't utter a word.
"Grandpa, are you calling Nangong Yi?"
Su Xiaoxiao had talked with Su Xiangming for a long time before, and she could understand his meaning in an instant with just a glance or a gesture.
At this moment, Nangong Yi took Su Xiangming's hand and asked cautiously, "Grandpa, Xiaoxiao and I will be staying tonight, so you don't need to worry."
However, when Su Xiangming grasped their hands, he moved slowly and placed their hands together.
