Bai Xiaoruo squeezed the pills out of the medicine box, just about to put them in her mouth—
"Bang!"
"Ruo Ruo, you're back." Feng Zhiyuan suddenly pushed open the door and walked in from outside, startling Bai Xiaoruo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to him.
She dropped the pills before she could even hold them. Afraid that her grandfather would become suspicious, she quickly threw the pillbox and the pills into the trash can.
"Yes, I'm back." She smiled at Feng Zhiyuan, as if nothing had happened.
What were you hiding just now?
"Oh, no, I'm just a little thirsty and I was about to get some water."
"Here's the thing, Shushu just called me and said you didn't go to school today. I called you several times last night but you didn't answer. Were you with Ziqian all night?"
Yesterday evening, Bai Xiaoruo only said she was going to dinner with Ji Ziqian before leaving home. Feng Zhiyuan didn't want to disturb the two young lovers, but she still hadn't returned by 10 p.m., and her phone went unanswered. He also couldn't reach Ji Ziqian by phone.
She didn't even come home all night, which made Feng Zhiyuan a little worried.
Feng Zhiyuan was almost ready to go to the Ji family to demand Bai Xiaoruo back, but the butler just came over to tell him that Bai Xiaoruo had returned alone. So he quickly came over from the backyard.
"I...I'll go this afternoon, Grandpa, you don't need to worry about me too much."
Feng Zhiyuan sat down next to Bai Xiaoruo and said to her earnestly, "No matter what, girl, your grandfather hopes you can take good care of yourself."
"Grandpa is getting old and doesn't have many more years to spend with you. If I can't entrust you to someone worthy of my life before I pass away, I... won't have the face to face your mother..." As he spoke, Feng Zhiyuan's eyes reddened.
Although Bai Xiaoruo is now with Ji Ziqian, Feng Zhiyuan can tell that compared to before, when she always protected Xian Mingyu and spoke well of him, she rarely mentions Ji Ziqian, and the expression on her face is not as happy as when she was with Xian Mingyu.
The girl is truly unfortunate. If that brat from the Xian family truly loved her from the very beginning, and Feng Zhiyuan isn't an overbearing or domineering person, he naturally wouldn't want to interfere with them.
But unfortunately, the girl still suffered a lot of grievances at the hands of that boy. Now that she has finally gotten a divorce and the Feng family has risen again, Feng Zhiyuan treats Bai Xiaoruo a thousand times better. He gives her everything she wants and makes up for all the suffering she has endured over the past ten years. Bai Xiaoruo appears happy on the surface, but Feng Zhiyuan sees it all.
She would occasionally sit alone, lost in thought, thinking about Xian Mingyu.
Hearing Feng Zhiyuan say this, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She tugged at her grandfather's arm and leaned on his shoulder, her voice choked with emotion: "Grandpa, you're talking nonsense! You're not that old! You can stay with me for a very long time. I don't want anyone to entrust my life to. I just want Grandpa... Grandpa, I've thought it through. Let's move. Let's leave this place. It doesn't matter where we go. I have no objections."
Feng Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised, "Ruoruo, you agreed to move?"
I mentioned moving to her a few days ago, but Bai Xiaoruo immediately refused. She wouldn't move and insisted on staying.
But now what...?
What happened that made her change her mind?
"Yes, Grandpa, there's something else I want to tell you..."
Bai Xiaoruo told Feng Zhiyuan about what happened last night at the restaurant with Ji Ziqian and how she was drugged.
Of course, there are also parts that are omitted.
She didn't dare tell her grandfather about the part with Hsien Ming-yu. She only said that a kind person took her to the hospital, and she stayed in the hospital overnight, which is why she didn't go to school this morning.
"What?! That bastard! I even thought he was a decent guy and a good match for you! How dare he lay a hand on my precious granddaughter, Feng Zhiyuan! I must have been blind!"
Feng Zhiyuan was so angry that his face turned red. He suddenly stood up from the bed, wishing he could immediately go and beat Ji Ziqian up to vent his anger for Bai Xiaoruo.
"Grandpa, don't go! It's all over, I'm fine now." Bai Xiaoruo pulled him along. Last night's events weren't just Ji Ziqian's fault; she was also partly to blame... After all, she had unwittingly slept with Xian Mingyu again...
She also betrayed the relationship, didn't she?
What right does she have to criticize Ji Ziqian? Anyone would either choose to break up with their girlfriend if she was still thinking about another man, or they would be tempted to possess her.
“How can we let this go? Girl, you’re just too soft-hearted, that’s why people have bullied you time and time again! Now that your grandfather is protecting you, you don’t have to wrong yourself anymore.”
Bai Xiaoru shook her head, "I'm fine, really fine... I've decided to break up with Ziqian, Grandpa. From now on, it'll just be the two of us living together. We won't rely on anyone anymore, okay? I'll be happy on my own, I don't need to depend on anyone."
"You... Sigh! Fine!" Bai Xiaoruo's stubbornness left Feng Zhiyuan helpless.
Let that bastard go for now! If he dares to take liberties with my precious granddaughter again, I will never forgive him!
"Girl, have you eaten anything? I asked someone to make some light food. Eat something before you go to school this afternoon."
"Okay." Bai Xiaoruo helped Feng Zhiyuan walk downstairs together.
***
Hsien Ming-yu didn't wake up until almost 2 p.m.
Before he even opened his eyes, he groped around for the pillow beside him.
