Chapter 278 I Want You to Be With Me



Chi Baiyi didn't take Chi Boyou's little tricks to heart.

Even if Chi Boyou unites with all the employees of the Chi Group, he cannot shake him; he will only make Chi Boyou remove him from the Chi Group even faster.

“What your parents did has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to apologize on their behalf,” Chi Baiyi said calmly.

Chi Chen nodded with a complicated expression, said nothing more, and went inside with Chi Baiyi.

upstairs.

Chi Nao knocked on the study door and called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Great-grandfather."

Since entrusting the funeral arrangements to Chi Baiyi, Old Master Chi has locked himself in his study and has remained there ever since.

Although he had long known that he and Grandma Chi were both so old and could pass away at any time;

Although he would occasionally joke with Grandma Chi that they had lived long enough and had no serious illnesses, they would be quite content even if God made them die right now.

However, when he actually saw Grandma Chi breathe her last beside him, he was still devastated.

How did she end up walking ahead of him?

She's clearly younger than him; she should be able to live a few more years.

Then, Old Master Chi thought again: Luckily, Old Madam Chi passed away before him. If he had gone before her, how sad it would have been for her to be all alone!

In such a complicated state of mind, Old Master Chi locked himself in his study for a long time, ignoring anyone who knocked on the door.

Until he heard the soft, chewy sound of the cheese.

At first, Grandpa Chi thought he was hallucinating.

Then he heard knocking on the door and the sound of cheese.

"Great-grandfather, are you inside?"

Grandpa Chi could ignore everyone else, but he couldn't bear to ignore his great-granddaughter.

"Coming," Old Master Chi responded, and shakily got up to open the door.

When the study door opened, Chi Naozi noticed that her great-grandfather seemed to have aged considerably. Not only did he look less energetic than before, but he also spoke and walked much slower.

Chi Nao suddenly remembered that her father from ten years later seemed to have said that her great-grandfather and great-grandmother had a very good relationship. Not long after her great-grandmother passed away, her great-grandfather also passed away due to excessive grief. The two elderly people passed away less than a month apart.

Could it be that my great-grandfather will also pass away soon?!

Seeing Chi Nai's sudden look of fear, Grandpa Chi teased her, "Your great-grandfather is too old, did he scare you?"

Chi Naiqi composed herself and shook her head earnestly, "No way! Great-grandfather is never old, he'll never get old!"

Grandpa Chi smiled, but then became sad again in an instant.

"Everyone gets old. My great-grandfather was very, very old."

“Even though my great-grandfather felt he was very old, he could still play with cheese, so he wasn’t old!” Chi cheese said her theory in a serious tone.

Grandpa Chi was amused by her.

The gloomy mood I felt because of the sudden passing of my spouse seems to have brightened up a bit.

Chi Nailu stayed in the study with Grandpa Chi.

She played with her toys and read her picture books without disturbing Grandpa Chi, but she always made sure to stay by his side.

Since Grandpa Chi wanted to talk to her, she chatted with him as much as possible.

Grandpa Chi wanted to be alone, so she stayed nearby and did her own thing.

Chi Nai stayed with Mr. Chi until after Mrs. Chi's funeral.

With the funeral of Old Madam Chi over, Chi Baiyi could no longer stay with Old Master Chi all day and had to go back to work at the Chi Group.

Chi Bai wanted to take Chi Nao back, but Chi Nao refused.

She pulled Chi Baiyi to a secluded spot in the courtyard and said to him, "Dad, I'll stay here with Great-Grandpa. He might be passing away soon too."

Chi Baiyi was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask, "How did you know?", she realized that Chi Naozi had come from ten years ago, so of course she knew.

“When will my great-grandfather pass away?” he asked.

“I don’t know.” Chi Nao Che shook her head: “I haven’t seen my great-grandfather and great-grandmother even after ten years. They passed away before I was born. I only heard it from you. You said that my great-grandmother passed away less than a month later, and then my great-grandfather also passed away.”

Chi Baiyi suddenly realized.

really.

If Grandma Chi passed away at this time, Chi Nai, who was born five years later, would indeed not have met Grandma Chi.

Now, Chi Nai, who traveled from ten years in the future, has fulfilled the wishes of the two elderly people, allowing them to see their great-granddaughter in person.

“You stay here with your great-grandfather. Your father will come to visit him more often after get off work in the evenings when he has time.” Chi Baiyi patted Chi Nao’s head approvingly.

"Okay."

...

As usual, Qin Yuanyao went to Yushui Pavilion after finishing work.

However, she discovered that Chi Cheese was not in the Imperial Water Pavilion Garden, only Chi Baiyi was there.

Qin Yuanyao was somewhat puzzled.

Grandma Chi's funeral is over, isn't Chi Cheese coming back yet?

Chi Baiyi truthfully told Qin Yuanyao the reason.

Qin Yuanyao understood: "So that's how it is."

She exclaimed, "Cheese is so filial. This is good. Cheese can spend more time with Grandpa Chi and accompany him on the last leg of his life. Grandpa Chi will be in a better mood."

Chi Baiyi nodded.

"Is Cheese not planning to come back anytime soon?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

"She won't come back; she wants to stay with her grandfather until he passes away."

Qin Yuanyao nodded: "If Cheese doesn't come back, there's no need for me to come over every night."

She said these words, but dared not look at Chi Baiyi.

Even without looking at Chi Baiyi, she could feel the deep, almost tangible gaze he was giving her.

Chi Baiyi suddenly sighed, her tone melancholic.

"Actually, I was quite sad when my grandmother passed away. But seeing how upset my grandfather was, and how much older he looked because of her passing, I knew that someone had to step up and handle her funeral arrangements. So I mustered my strength and took over the funeral arrangements."

Qin Yuanyao: "..."

She believed that Chi Baiyi was very saddened by the passing of Old Mrs. Chi.

But when Chi Baiyi said these things at this time, she always felt that Chi Baiyi was deliberately trying to gain sympathy.

“You’ve really had a tough time. Now that Grandma Chi’s funeral arrangements are complete, you can finally have some peace and quiet and get some rest,” Qin Yuanyao said.

Chi Baiyi almost laughed.

Just want to be alone?

Was she deliberately emphasizing one person to pretend she didn't understand what he was saying?

"I don't want to be alone, I want you to be with me." Chi Baiyi started being direct again.

Qin Yuanyao was startled.

This guy is really good at being direct.

Just say what you want; I'm too lazy to argue or drag things out.

"How can I accompany you?" Qin Yuanyao asked.
