Ji Ling saw that her eldest brother, the culprit, had gone away after causing trouble, leaving her alone here. She wanted to smile at Zhu Weidong to ease the awkward atmosphere, but she found that her face was stiff and she didn't obey.

Finally, she glanced at Zhu Weidong secretly and lowered her head in shame.

Thinking that Zhu Weidong might think she was arrogant, she felt depressed and completely devastated.

But Zhu Weidong obviously didn't want to mention this. He said, "My grandma asked me to come over to help."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and after pondering these words, she understood that Grandma Zhu was anxious to see her. She nodded repeatedly, "I'm done here, let's go see Grandma Zhu now."

Zhu Weidong looked at her straight.

Ji Ling's mouth twitched, and she stared at Zhu Weidong's face, but she didn't meet his eyes: "What? Do you want to turn your intestines upside down?"

Zhu Weidong, "When you see my grandma later, just call her grandma."

Ji Ling was stunned, her eyes moved slightly, and she met Zhu Weidong's gaze, but Zhu Weidong had already turned and left, leaving her with his back.

Ji Ling hurried after her. She wanted to tell Zhu Weidong that she didn't need him to remind her, because when she saw Grandma Zhu, she would also call her Grandma and remove the word "Zhu".

But after explaining it this way, would Zhu Weidong think she was too fake, saying one thing in front of him and another in front of the old man? She didn't want that either. They had just gotten their marriage certificate, and she called him grandma directly, fearing that he would think she was too materialistic and fake.

After thinking it over, Ji Ling realized that nothing she did was right.

Zhu Weidong was walking in front, his eyes falling on the little girl's frowned brows behind him. He thought that the girl must be upset that her secret crush on him was discovered, and her facial features were all twisted.

I have to see my family soon, and I can't keep going like this.

Seeing that the ward was just ahead, Zhu Weidong stopped, turned back and comforted her seriously, "It's not shameful to have a secret crush."

Ji Ling opened her mouth wide, and after a moment of stunned silence, a thousand alpacas flashed through her mind.

This man is really narrow-minded and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Didn't he take the matter away? He didn't ask about it at the time, but was angry afterwards.

Ji Ling complained about what she was going to say in her heart, putting on a fake smile, "I was just lying to my big brother. Don't think too much. How could someone as outstanding as you have a crush on me? It's even more impossible for you to secretly stare at me. That's something only a fool would do."

Well, Ji Ling admitted that she was stingy, but she couldn't help but curse the other person in a roundabout way.

Zhu Weidong frowned, not understanding what the pervert meant, but he was more concerned about the fact that the girl was still holding on. He thought about his usual work and heard his colleagues chatting about conflicts with their wives at home. It was right for him to take the blame on himself regardless of whether he was right or wrong.

He paused, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly. "I didn't know you and your eldest brother were talking about this just now. After I got there, I thought about finding a chance to interrupt, but you were so excited that I never found a chance. This is my fault, and it's not that you have a crush on me."

"Wait, you said I have a crush on you?" Ji Ling felt that she must have heard it wrong.

Zhu Weidong frowned and carefully repeated what he had just said in his mind, explaining why he eavesdropped and denying that she had a crush on him. That's right.

But why did the little girl become even more excited?

Ji Ling took a deep breath, "Let's sort out what happened first. I think there seems to be some misunderstanding here. I have just explained to you that I wanted my elder brother to believe that you and I got married because we liked each other, so I embellished and adapted what happened between us. Maybe this is why you misunderstood."

They are husband and wife now, it doesn't matter who liked who first, what matters is the secret crush, and asking her to accept it under such circumstances is like asking her to admit that she is a fool.

Zhu Weidong stared at the little girl's angry face. He narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly and focused his gaze on Ji Ling's face. In Ji Ling's opinion, he seemed to be trying to figure out how much of what she said was true and how much of it was false.

Ji Ling looked at it fearlessly, as if she was waiting for the seagull before the storm.

Come on, come on, no matter how strong the wind and rain are, she is not afraid.

Ji Ling had already prepared herself and was just waiting to take the attack, but then she was petrified by Zhu Weidong's words.

"You're the one who fixed my bicycle chain?"

How can you even think of such nonsense?

So not remembering what happened between them could explain why he thought she had a crush on him? Zhu Weidong lowered his head slightly, and Ji Ling instinctively wanted to step back, but then she thought, wouldn't her stepping back prove that she was afraid?

Finally, he just stretched his face forward.

As the two of them got closer, Ji Ling could feel the hot breath from Zhu Weidong hitting her face, making her feel itchy and want to hide back, but the voice in her heart was telling her to hold on, hold on.

Finally, it was not until Zhu Weidong straightened up that Ji Ling took a few deep breaths.

Just now she was like a fighting cock and had forgotten to breathe.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Is that it?

Seeing Zhu Weidong leave, Ji Ling was still confused. Why did he think he could get away with it like this?

The way he does things is incomprehensible and he never plays by the rules.

Thinking about the many similar things that had happened to them in their previous interactions, Ji Ling wanted to ask clearly. She had just caught up with the man and was walking side by side with him. When she tilted her head, the words that were about to come to her throat had to be swallowed back.

So scary.

This man's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. Even if I wasn't looked at by him, I would feel scared.

Ji Ling was very motivated at first, then she became weaker and then she was exhausted. She was very disappointing and exhausted.

But thinking about the cause of the incident, Ji Ling felt that she was the one who tongue-tied him behind his back after all, and with his current behavior, they were evenly matched.

The moment she pushed open the door of the ward, Ji Ling had comforted herself, put on a big smile, and called "Grandma" to Old Mrs. Zhu on the hospital bed.

As soon as she finished shouting, she felt Zhu Weidong's eyes on her.

Ji Ling's smile froze for a moment, and she thought that Zhu Weidong must be thinking that she was hypocritical again.

Zhu Weidong wouldn't say it, but someone stood up to help him.

Zhu Yaowu looked disgusted and said, "You really don't know how to be shy. It's the first time for a new daughter-in-law to meet her elders, and she calls them as if she has been calling them for many years."

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Ji Ling gave him a fake smile.

I thought to myself, "Sister, you're not shy. What can you do to me?" Zhu Yaowu rubbed the goose bumps on his arms when he was called "Second Brother".

"Yaowu, talk to your sister-in-law nicely," Zhu Chuang scolded his son, then turned to Ji Ling and immediately put on a kind smile, "Xiaoling, right? I'm your father."

Then he introduced Mr. Zhu next to him, "This is grandpa."

Finally, he pointed at Zhu Yaowu with a look of disdain and said, "This is your second brother. If there is anything in the future, let him run it. He is an idle person anyway."

Zhu Yaowu: Although Ji Ling did not look nervous, she was just pretending. Faced with the friendliness of the Zhu family, the slight nervousness disappeared and she first called them grandpa and then dad.

After saying hello, Old Lady Zhu immediately called everyone to her side, "Xiaoling, when will you let grandma hold her great-grandson? Grandma's wish will be fulfilled."

Ji Ling: How come this wish also includes an upgrade?
