Chapter 137 He is like the adopted child



He Beichen walked quickly and returned home in a short while.

The room was quiet and it didn't look like anyone was home, but the door to the master bedroom was closed.

He Beichen opened the door and walked in. The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, blocking out the light. There was a small bulge on the bed, probably because the fan was turned on a little too high. She covered herself with a thin blanket when she slept.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he saw that there was no one at home just now, his heart almost jumped into his throat.

Fortunately, my wife was at home and nothing seemed to be seriously wrong.

He Beichen walked over carefully. Li Xin was sleeping soundly on the bed. Although the room was a little dim, he could still see clearly that Li Xin's face looked much better than in the morning.

He gently reached out and touched Li Xin's forehead. It was warm, but not hot.

Seeing that nothing seemed to be wrong, he left the room with peace of mind and carefully closed the door.

He didn't wake Li Xin up, but walked into the kitchen and prepared to call Li Xin to eat after the meal was ready.

He Beichen was busy in the kitchen. He had just washed and cut the vegetables and was about to start cooking when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Who will come over at this time?

He Beichen wiped his hands and hurried over to open the door, worried that the knocking would wake up Li Xin who was still sleeping.

"grandfather?"

As soon as the door opened, He Yubo was standing outside, and next to him stood a cook who often cooked for him.

"Xin..." When He Yubo saw that it was him who came to open the door, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Not only that, even his standing posture changed slightly, with his hands behind his back, and the whole person seemed to become serious in an instant.

"Oh, you're back." He Yubo nodded and looked at him as he spoke in a flat tone.

He Beichen: "..."

Seeing my own grandfather like this, I already feel that he is being treated differently. The expression of not wanting to see him really makes people doubt whether he is my biological grandfather?

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming over for dinner? We don't have that much rice to cook at home." He Beichen was a little helpless.

He had already cooked the meal, but only for two people.

"Are you cooking?" He Yubo asked as he walked into the house.

He glanced towards the kitchen. There was no scent at all in the room, and it didn't look like anyone was cooking at all.

"I was just preparing to cook." He Beichen replied. He was confused about how to respond after seeing He Yubo's expression.

Why does this feel like the leader suddenly came to inspect?

"It hasn't started yet? By the time you finish cooking, Xinxin will probably have starved to death." He Yubo looked at the cook at the door with a look of disgust on his face.

The cook came in carrying a food box, and the aroma of the food could be smelled before it was even opened.

He had been standing behind He Yubo just now and didn't notice that he was carrying a food box.

The cook took out all the prepared dishes from the lunch boxes one by one and placed them neatly on the table. Then he brought out two bowls of rice, covered the lunch boxes after placing them, and put the empty lunch boxes aside.

"You go back first." He Yubo waved at him.

After he left, He Yubo looked at He Beichen and asked, "Where's Xinxin? Where did you take her?"

"...She's sleeping in her room. I'll wake her up after dinner is ready." He Beichen responded, "No, Grandpa, could you please not make it sound like I'm abusing her?"

How could he let his young wife starve?

But as he was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the two bowls of rice on the table. There were clearly three people, so why was there one bowl missing? Whose bowl was the missing bowl for?

He seems to know!

He Beichen felt a little heartache. He seemed like a child picked up from outside and had begun to feel out of place in this family!

"Xinxin will be more fragile these days. Her health has not been good to begin with. She needs to be nourished more and taken good care of. Don't let her touch cold water and don't let her catch a cold." He Yubo was also worried that He Beichen, a rough man, would be clumsy when taking care of a girl!

He Beichen didn't have a wife before, so he didn't know these things.

Mom passed away early, and he, as her grandfather, was the only one who could give her some advice.

"I know." He Beichen agreed and wrote them all down.

When they were at the clinic, Ye Mingxi also told him some things, and he roughly understood what to do.

"Grandpa, could you please tell me next time you take Xinxin away?" He Beichen stared at him and spoke with some resentment.

When He Beichen thought of the look on Du Peng's face when he was at the research institute, he felt more and more pitiful.

"Ah..." He Yubo listened, but suddenly slapped his head, as if he had just remembered: "I forgot."

He didn't even think about notifying He Beichen about this matter. He just wanted to bring his granddaughter-in-law back to rest first and not tire her out.

"Okay, I'll remember to inform you next time." The old man responded nonchalantly, but it looked like he didn't take it to heart at all.

This seems perfunctory...

No!

This must be perfunctory!

He Beichen was speechless and felt very depressed.

But what can he say?

I could only remain silent and simply went to Li Xin's room to wake him up for dinner.

He Beichen walked into the room. Li Xin was still asleep, with a slight blush on her face due to the heat.

"Xinxin, get up and eat." He Beichen walked over and called her in a gentle voice.
