Chapter 403: Chapter 402: (2 more updates)

Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi accompanied their grandmother for the entire time.

Jin Yu, not accustomed to such occasions, stayed with Xu Niannian for a while before retreating to a corner sofa.

Initially, Xu Niannian had been worried whether her grandmother would be able to adapt to such an event.

As it turned out, she had been thinking too much and even dared to underestimate her omnipotent grandmother.

The grandmother, dressed in a luxurious cheongsam, walked with proper and elegant strides, much like a noble lady from a prominent family.

She chatted with other higher-status elder ladies and even subtly dominated the conversations.

The grandmother was like a people-person; amidst the crowd, her tone changed.

Both Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi, following behind her, felt the illusion that their grandmother wasn’t someone who worked in the fields but a fallen aristocrat from a distinguished family.

Xu Sisi, witnessing how easily her grandmother mingled and laughed with a group of noble ladies, was utterly impressed.

"Sister Niannian, our grandma is so formidable."

Xu Niannian also felt amazed, "She really is formidable."

After following for a while, Xu Niannian realized that her grandmother didn’t need them, so she pulled Xu Sisi to rest in the corner.

Xu Sisi exclaimed, "Sister Niannian, I haven’t eaten my fill yet?"

She spoke with a piece of flaky pastry in her mouth, crumbs falling as she talked.

Xu Niannian, helpless, said, "Then you eat first, I’ll go rest for a bit."

Xu Sisi watched Xu Niannian walk toward Jin Yu and chuckled, "Heh heh," she wasn’t about to be a third wheel.

As Xu Niannian approached Jin Yu, who was eating, he soon saw her coming and reached out to pull her over.

"Come here."

Xu Niannian sat beside him and, noticing he was eating a roll, amusingly asked, "Do you actually like sweets?"

"I’m not picky."

Jin Yu had been training new members before coming here and hadn’t eaten anything.

He wasn’t picky and had simply grabbed the closest plate of pastries on his way.

Picking up an egg roll and placing it near Xu Niannian’s lips, Jin Yu asked, "You haven’t eaten either, have you? Have some to fill your stomach."

Xu Niannian didn’t particularly like sweets, unless she made them herself.

But how could she resist when it was her husband feeding her?

With a smile, she opened her mouth and took a gentle bite; before she even chewed, she remarked, "Delicious."

Jin Yu knew his wife was doing it deliberately, his dark eyes filled with mirth as he fed her another bite.

"If it’s delicious, eat a bit more."

He then forcefully stuffed the remaining half into Xu Niannian’s mouth. She made an "aww" sound, her mouth puffed up, annoyed at how abruptly Jin Yu had become coarse.

At that moment, he knelt down, grabbed her ankle, and looked up, "Did you sprain it?"

When she had walked over, Jin Yu noticed her posture was off.

Suddenly, Xu Niannian’s slight feeling of annoyance vanished into thin air.

"When did you notice?"

"When you were coming over," Jin Yu pressed his lips together, his strong fingers exploring her ankle, seemingly probing the uncomfortable spot.

Lowering her gaze to meet his concerned eyes, she lifted her foot and softly pointed to the sore spot, "Here."

Following her direction, Jin Yu gently rubbed the spot: "Does it hurt?"

Xu Niannian grimaced in pain, "Ouch... it hurts."

"Let’s go back, and I’ll rub it for you."

Although they were in a corner, there were still people around, and Jin Yu didn’t want anyone to hear her whimpers.

Xu Niannian crisply agreed, "Okay."

The banquet wasn’t over yet, but Jin Yu didn’t take Xu Niannian home. Instead, they went around the hall to the main building in the back garden.

Once they left the hall, Jin Yu suddenly lifted Xu Niannian into his arms.

His sudden move startled Xu Niannian, making her wrap her arms around his neck, "Yikes, what are you doing?"

"Isn’t your foot hurting?" Jin Yu glanced at her, "I’ll carry you over, don’t worry, there’s nobody on the way."

As he spoke, a cough sounded out.

"Ahem..."

Xu Niannian: "..."

Both of them turned to look at the source of the cough.

Jin Ruiyang raised his hand, greeting Xu Niannian with a natural demeanor, "Sister-in-law!"

Xu Niannian turned beet red, urging Jin Yu to put her down.

Jin Yu, still holding her, shot Jin Ruiyang a look for a second, calmly treating him as if he were air, and continued to carry Xu Niannian back to the main building’s living room.

Jin Ruiyang shrugged helplessly; what could he do? He had just witnessed the scene upon arrival.

After setting Xu Niannian on the sofa, Jin Yu went over to a cabinet and casually took a bottle of alcohol.

He knelt down and started to rub Xu Niannian’s foot.

Xu Niannian winced in pain, grateful Jin Yu hadn’t rubbed it outside.

"Ow, it hurts..."

He was rubbing with great force, showing no mercy. Xu Niannian hadn’t been in so much pain before, but after his forceful touch, tears began to well up.

The hand that was resting on his shoulder instinctively tightened, pinching him hard.

It was a pure reflex.

"You’ve twisted your tendon, I have to be firm," Jin Yu continued pouring alcohol into his palm while responding to her, not minding the pinch on his shoulder at all.

While Jin Yu was rubbing Xu Niannian’s foot, they suddenly heard footsteps outside. Initially, he thought it was Jin Ruiyang and paid no mind.
