Chapter 158 Closing the Net
The prime minister who can call the shots in front of outsiders can only compromise in front of the prime minister's power.
Xiang Quan had already decided that Xia Xue was his grandson's wife, and Xiang did not dare to argue with him. Although Xia Xue tried to refuse, Xiang Quan's decision was absolutely not allowed to be changed. So, on the day of discharge, Xiang Quan asked the housekeeper Lao Liu to come with him early, saying that he wanted to pick up Xia Xue from the hospital.
In the past few days, Xiang Quan explained the previous events to Xia Xue very patiently. Of course, Xia Xue tried her best to distance herself from Xiang Ye. She simply said that there was really nothing between her and Xiang Ye, and the previous engagement did not need to be taken seriously. Just treat it as a joke from her grandfather. Nowadays, there is no such thing as child marriage. Unfortunately, Xiang Quan was very persistent. He thought that what she said was that she was afraid of Xiang Ye getting angry and did not dare to tell the truth. So, one tried her best to explain, and the other insisted on what she believed. In the end, no matter how much explanation was given, it was just in vain.
During the day, Sang-Kwon usually stayed with Sun Wen-hong. At night, Sang-Ye came over almost every day after work under Sang-Kwon's orders. When Sang-Kwon saw Sang-Ye coming, he would smile and leave with Sun Wen-hong. Giving them a chance to be alone. But what Sang-Kwon didn't know was that every day, as soon as Sang-Kwon and Sun Wen-hong left, Sang-Ye would follow. He would come over again early the next morning before Sang-Kwon and Sun Wen-hong arrived at the hospital.
During the days she was hospitalized, Xia Xue saw Xiangye every day, but they had only spoken to each other twice in the past ten days.
"Xiaoxue, let's go. Let's go home with Grandpa!" Xiang Quan came to Xia Xue's ward early in the morning and was busy. Perhaps because he was thinking about Xia Xue these days, he felt spiritually relieved and in a good mood. Xiang Quan seemed to be ten years younger these days and was more energetic than before.
"Grandpa, thank you, but I really can't go back with you. How about this, I'll come to see you whenever I'm free and chat with you." Although Xia Xue felt that calling Xiang Quan "Grandpa" was inappropriate, Xiang Quan insisted on her doing so and explained the origins of the two families in the past few days. Looking at this old man who was truly kind to her, Xia Xue had no choice but to obey.
"Silly child. Why can't you go back with grandpa? Don't forget that you will be my granddaughter-in-law in the future. If you don't go back with me today, I will immediately ask the people from the Civil Certificate Bureau to come and help you get the certificate. In this way, you can go home with me with a clear conscience." Xiang Quan was immediately unhappy when he heard that Xia Xue would not go home with him.
"Grandpa!" Xia Xue said coquettishly, "You can't do this."
"Child, Grandpa knows that Xiao San has caused you a lot of grievances. But don't worry, if Xiao San doesn't treat you well in the future, Grandpa will definitely teach him a lesson for you. Grandpa doesn't have many years left, and I really like you. Can you bear to make Grandpa sad?" Xiang Quan looked at Xia Xue and sighed, "Old Xia is really lucky to have a granddaughter as beautiful and gentle as you. Why don't I have this blessing?"
"Grandpa." Knowing that Xiang Quan really liked her, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw him with his silver hair taking care of everything for her. But it was not a good choice to follow him back to Xiang's house at this time.
She also needs to make Xiangye accept her and be willing to marry her before he dislikes her and divorces her. He is so against this engagement, and now if she goes back with Xiangquan, there is no guarantee that he will not dislike her first.
"Silly child, don't worry. If you really don't like the mistress, Grandpa will definitely not force you. Just give yourself a chance and give the mistress a chance. OK!" After spending these few days together, Xiang Quan really likes Xia Xue. If it was just an engagement before, now it is a real love. After living for so many years, he will definitely not be wrong.
“…”
【Xia Xue: Grandpa may not force himself, but I can’t. I have to complete my mission and make him marry me! 】
【Bibi: Calling me Grandpa is quite easy.】
"Besides, Xiao San goes out early and comes back late every day. The Prime Minister's Mansion is big. If you really don't want to see him, then don't meet him for now." Seeing that Xia Xue's will was a little shaken, Xiang Quan quickly gave her a strong medicine.
“…”
"Maybe you don't like Grandpa and don't want to bother with an old man like me."
"Grandpa, how could I..." Xia Xue was very embarrassed.
"Master, all the formalities have been completed. Old Wu is already waiting at the door." Xia Xue wanted to say something, but Uncle Liu happened to walk in at this time and interrupted Xia Xue with a smile.
As a result, no one paid attention to Xia Xue's decision. Xia Xue also lost her right to speak, and was taken back to the Xiang Mansion by Xiang Quan.
At the Xiangfu, Sun Wenhong had already asked the servants to clean up the room. Xiang Quan went to the hospital to pick up Xia Xue early in the morning, and she was not idle either. She first checked the room prepared for Xia Xue inside and out, and then waited for Xiang Quan and his men to come back with peace of mind.
As soon as Xia Xue arrived at the prime minister's residence, she was moved again.
In the past few days in the hospital, apart from the care of Xiang Quan and Sun Wenhong, Liu Bo has been taking care of everything else. Xia Xue was a little uncomfortable coming to Xiang's residence. But at this moment, seeing everything Sun Wenhong had arranged for her, Xia Xue couldn't help but shed tears.
"Auntie." She could never imagine that Xiang Quan and Sun Wenhong, fearing that she would not get used to it, had actually decorated this room to be almost identical to the house she had lived in before during her hospitalization, except that they added a lot of more practical things.
"Silly child, do you like it? Auntie is afraid that you won't get used to it!" Everything was so natural. Sun Wenhong patted Xia Xue's hand and said to her with a smile. Mrs. Liu had already prepared the meal. She went to wash up, change clothes and then came down to eat: "By the way, the clothes are in the closet. Auntie prepared some for you, and I don't know if you like them. Wear them for now. If you don't like them, Auntie will accompany you to choose."
"Yeah." Xia Xuesha said in a hoarse voice and nodded to Sun Wenhong.
"Don't stay too long. Grandpa and Auntie are waiting for you downstairs." Sun Wenhong considerately left Xia Xue some private space and told her. Not wanting to embarrass Xia Xue, she closed the door for Xia Xue after she finished telling her and went straight downstairs.
Xia Xue thought she was not a delicate person, but she couldn't help but slowly sit down on the floor along the door panel when she heard Sun Wenhong's footsteps coming downstairs. At this moment, facing everything that Xiangquan and Sun Wenhong had done, she would be lying if she said she didn't feel anything.
