Chapter 327: Chapter 321: Good News Approaching?

For him, whatever Tang Xiaowan asked for, not to mention just one thing, he’d do a hundred things for her.

But matters related to her origin were an exception.

He dared not take that risk, worrying that Tang Xiaowan, if emotionally unstable, might act rashly once again.

"Huahua, help me stop Grandma. Grandma just said... she’s going to Huang City tomorrow and not taking me with her. She also said some really weird stuff. I have a bad feeling about this; Grandma must be up to something, maybe it has to do with Lin Xiaoxiao."

Tang Xiaowan’s speech got faster and faster, and the smile on her face began to fade.

Leng Lingxiao caressed her arm, a flicker of concern passing through his eyes, but it vanished in an instant. He suddenly lifted Tang Xiaowan onto the table and gently kissed her forehead with a smile.

"What a silly girl, your imagination... isn’t it a bit too wild?"

"No, everything I said is true."

"Didn’t Grandma tell you that she can’t be with you all the time. She wants you to marry me quickly and have children. She even suggested we go get the marriage certificate this afternoon?"

"Yeah, but..."

Leng Lingxiao pinched Tang Xiaowan’s nose and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Of course, it’s because of Wang Jinhui!"

"Him, he’s also going back to Huang City?"

"Isn’t that obvious? And my parents too. They’re all leaving tomorrow morning; the helicopter is already prepared. From now on... it’ll just be me and you here, no one to supervise us, hahaha."

"Ew, you’re laughing so lecherously!"

"Happy now? You’ll soon have a grandpa; you never know... if you dilly-dally, we might end up celebrating their wedding first."

Leng Lingxiao said this and then leered at Tang Xiaowan like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.

"Don’t come any closer; I’ll call for help."

"Go ahead, even if you scream your lungs out... no one will come to save you, hahaha."

Seeing the situation turning dire, Tang Xiaowan quickly shoved Leng Lingxiao and slipped down from the table while he was too unsteady to stop her.

But she hadn’t run far when she encountered Zhao Renjie.

"Lady Tang, the master..."

"He’s in there, Huahua’s inside. Go on in."

Zhao Renjie nodded and headed toward the study, not quite understanding the situation.

The door remained unclosed, ajar.

Soon after, the clattering of keyboard keys erupted. Leng Lingxiao glanced at Zhao Renjie.

"Is everything prepared for the return trip to Huang City?"

Zhao Renjie was initially startled, then smiled and responded, "Yes, all set."

"Grandma Tang and Wang Jinhui might have good news soon. While you’re in Huang City, scout around, see if there’s anything that needs assistance. Money is no object. The key is... the gifts must be heartfelt."

Zhao Renjie: "?"

Old Mrs. Tang is in danger and needs protection?

"Rest assured, master, it will be the best." Zhao Renjie answered earnestly.

"Also, now that it’s autumn, there won’t be a shortage of people doing morning exercises in Huang City... Replace old facilities that need replacing, fix what’s broken, and ensure follow-ups. Don’t let people think our charity... ends with a whimper."

Zhao Renjie: "?"

Is the blood collection plan ramping up?

"We’ve been on top of it, with specialists checking regularly. So far, there have been no issues."

"Good, well done."

"Master, if there’s nothing else..."

Outside the study, Tang Xiaowan heard Zhao Renjie about to leave and cautiously opened the door to the room next door, slipping inside.

Wow, so it really is for Wang Jinhui!

Is Grandma planning... to pursue a happy and wonderful... twilight romance?

Very nice, very nice!

Subsequently, Tang Xiaowan heard the study door close and the fading footsteps of Zhao Renjie. Only then did she quietly exit the adjacent bedroom and tiptoe down the stairs.

...

On the second floor, at the guest room door.

Tang Xiaowan stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, and gently pushed open the bedroom door. Tang Mei was on the phone. Seeing Tang Xiaowan enter, she signaled with her eyes to be quiet.

Tang Xiaowan nodded and sat quietly on the sofa, contemplating the issue with the smartphone.

Was this from Wang Jinhui?

Hadn’t Grandma said she wasn’t used to using a smartphone?

Oh, it’s for convenience in contacting people.

A familiar voice came through the other end of the phone. Tang Xiaowan recognized it as Granny Yu.

"...Madam, everything here is arranged, Old Li and the others will arrive before dinner. Is Miss really not coming back with us?"

"She’s not returning, she can’t bear to leave Leng Lingxiao."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaowan immediately pursed her lips, grumbling to herself.

Pfft, it’s clearly you who’s willing to take me!

It seemed that what Huahua had said was true. Grandma was indeed going to Huang City to meet Wang Jinhui, which explained her odd behavior.

Just as Tang Xiaowan tried to eavesdrop further, Tang Mei had already hung up the phone.

"Grandma, how long do you plan to stay in Huang City, a month, two months, or do you not intend to come back at all?" Tang Xiaowan asked, clearly annoyed.

"I’m not sure, it depends on my mood."

"Pfft, that line sounds like you learned it from me."

"You child, you allow the state official to set a fire, but you don’t allow..." Grandma shook her head helplessly.

"Grandma, I usually rest on weekends after work, so by then... can I go to Huang City to visit you and grandpa?"

The question was asked with a probing undertone.

Tang Mei was silent for a moment, then smiled softly and shook her head: "Tangtang, some things... it’s better to let nature take its course, no need to force it."

"No, I must insist! Grandma, Wang Jinhui is a very nice person, don’t you know... over in Huang City, there’s actually a woman who has been secretly chasing after Wang Jinhui, we can’t..."

"All right, all right, little girl, Grandma is tired and wants some time alone."

Seeing the resolute look in Grandma’s eyes, Tang Xiaowan hesitated for a second before giving a silly smile, "Oh, okay then, I’ll head out."

"Mhm, go ahead."

So Tang Xiaowan touched her nose and left, but as she turned around, she smiled like a blooming flower.

...

Five minutes later, on the second-floor balcony.

"Hey, grandpa, can you do me a favor?" Tang Xiaowan asked in a sweet voice.

Her words filled Wang Jinhui with joy, as if a real grandpa had possessed him, not only willing to help, but even ready to pluck stars from the sky!

"Of course, why be so formal with grandpa, just tell me what you need, hahaha."

"It’s just that... Grandma really likes grandpa, but she’s... So I thought, could grandpa maybe put in a bit more effort, to give grandma more confidence, so she can sleep better at night?"

Insomnia? When did she start having insomnia?

Wang Jinhui felt concerned in his heart.

"Ah, it’s all because I haven’t been doing well enough."

"Not at all, grandpa has been doing great, it’s just that grandma is too shy to admit it."

Wang Jinhui felt secretly delighted: "How do you know?"

The wait seemed very long. Wang Jinhui felt his heart about to leap out of his chest, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and downed it in one gulp.

"Because, because... because grandma often brings up grandpa when she chats."

"Oh? What does she mention about me?"

"Um... Just that... she says grandpa is very responsible, handsome, talented, can cook really well, and is very caring."

"Haha, did grandma really say that?"

"Of course! So, grandpa, lunch might be a bit rushed, but maybe for dinner..."

"It’s possible, grandpa is quick on his feet."

"Grandpa is amazing, go grandpa!"

"Mhm, good girl, I’ll get going now."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaowan quickly covered her mouth to hide her snicker, then sauntered leisurely towards the stairs.
