Wei Ji panted heavily before asking, "Did the trip go smoothly? Did you encounter any danger?"
Seeing that her grandfather still cared about her even though he was so sick, Wei Xiyin could no longer hold back her tears, which fell down her cheeks and onto her clothes.
"Why are you crying?" Wei Ji stared at the brother and sister and said in a deep voice, "I'm not even dead yet, and look at you two siblings."
Wei Xiyin quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and choked up, "Grandfather, don't talk nonsense. You will definitely get better."
