Chapter 404: Chapter 403: (3 more updates)

Only when footsteps approached did he realize they didn’t sound like Jin Ruiyang’s.

Just as he was about to look up, he heard Xu Niannian’s soft call, "Grandma, why have you come back?"

Grandma?

Jin Yu’s eyelid twitched, he let go of Xu Niannian’s foot and saw that it was indeed the elderly lady. He got up and politely followed with a call, "Grandma."

Seeing her own grandson-in-law, Gao Lihong’s eyes bent into smiles as she repeatedly acknowledged, "Eh, good boy."

Good boy?

Jin Yu arched an eyebrow and glanced at Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian wore a face full of confusion; although the old lady had always liked Jin Yu, she had never been this extravagantly enthusiastic.

"Xiao Jin, haven’t eaten yet, right?" Gao Lihong asked affectionately, and before Jin Yu could even respond, she eagerly said, "Grandma knew there were too many people at the dinner party and you didn’t eat well. I specially stewed some nourishing soup for you. Sit with Niannian for a while, and I’ll bring it out to you immediately."

"No need, Grandma, I just..."

"I know you haven’t had enough," the old lady’s face beamed with a radiant smile, "Grandma will bring the soup over for you now, don’t worry."

Jin Yu wanted to say he was full, but the old lady seemed very insistent on him drinking the soup.

Jin Yu instinctively felt something was amiss, but didn’t continue to refuse.

Xu Niannian, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything was strange; after all, her grandmother always doted on her, and it seemed normal for her to want to give them a special treat.

In no time, the old lady emerged from the kitchen.

She was carrying a large bowl of soup, which smelled quite savory.

"Come, Xiao Jin, drink up," the old lady urged as she handed the bowl to Jin Yu.

The bowl was oversized, normally used for serving soup to a family, not for individual servings.

Jin Yu thought the old lady was going back to get a smaller bowl and after taking it from her hands, placed it on the coffee table.

Seeing Jin Yu put it on the coffee table, the old lady grew anxious, "Eh, Xiao Jin, why aren’t you drinking? Is it not tasty? Did Grandma not make it well?"

Jin Yu: "No, I was just..."

Old lady: "Then drink up quickly."

Fearing Jin Yu wouldn’t drink, she even went out of her way to lift the large bowl into Jin Yu’s hands.

With the old lady’s exaggerated behavior, not only Jin Yu but even Xu Niannian began to sense that something was off.

There was something fishy going on.

Xu Niannian guessed.

"Grandma, what kind of soup is this?"

"Girls shouldn’t ask," the old lady stated bluntly.

Great, Xu Niannian thought, immediately confirming that there was something wrong with the soup.

She knew her grandma wouldn’t harm her or Jin Yu, and recalling what the old lady had mentioned a few days before, Xu Niannian had a vague idea of what was going on.

She felt a headache coming on.

Her own grandma, why couldn’t she just settle down?

"Xiao Jin, drink up," the old lady was still urging Jin Yu.

Jin Yu looked at Xu Niannian, and as she was about to speak to stop him, Jin Yu gave her a look to keep quiet.

"Thank you, Grandma."

In front of the old lady, Jin Yu lifted the huge soup bowl and finished the entire bowl of soup.

What Xu Niannian could imagine, Jin Yu had also considered.

Not long ago, Xu Niannian had mentioned that the old lady was asking why her belly wasn’t showing any signs yet.

Probably thinking the issue was on his side, she had made some traditional remedy for him.

Since the old lady wouldn’t harm him, and to not make her feel bad, Jin Yu reluctantly finished the soup.

Downing a whole large bowl of soup, Xu Niannian saw Jin Yu’s adam’s apple continuously bobbing, with soup trickling down along his mouth to his neck.

Xu Niannian suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her poor "doggy."

Finally done, Jin Yu put the bowl down and even let out a satisfied burp.

Xu Niannian couldn’t bear to watch.

Seeing Jin Yu finish the soup, the old lady smiled with her eyes almost closed.

She repeated the word "good" three times.

Then she pulled Xu Niannian into the kitchen.

Xu Niannian knew the old lady had something to tell her, so she obediently followed her inside.

After Jin Yu massaged her foot, it wasn’t as painful anymore.

The old lady pulled Xu Niannian into the kitchen, looked at Jin Yu seated neatly on the sofa, not looking around, and quickly closed the door.

She sneakily whispered into Xu Niannian’s ear, "Baby Nian, the soup I just gave Xiao Jin is a powerful tonic. You seize the opportunity tonight and work hard to get pregnant."

The old lady was also straightforward, expressing her intentions plainly.

Guessing was one thing, but confirmation was another.

Once Xu Niannian heard what kind of tonic her grandmother had given Jin Yu, she was both amused and embarrassed.

"Grandma, what kind of medicinal herbs did you put in Jin Yu’s soup?"

Still holding on to a sliver of hope, Xu Niannian asked this embarrassing question.

The old lady smiled proudly, quietly telling Xu Niannian.

Hearing words like tiger’s whip and ox’s whip, Xu Niannian instantly felt a wave of dismay.

The old lady even specially told her, "These are all valuable ingredients, and they cost Grandma quite a bit of money. You can’t let all that go to waste."

Meanwhile, Xu Niannian was at a loss.

Outside in the living room, Jin Yu... heard the whole conversation without missing a word.

Jin Yu had excellent hearing, and the old lady’s so-called whisper wasn’t very soft after all, so he naturally overheard everything.

Children!

Such a sensitive word.

The old lady really thought he was inadequate.

In that moment, as a man, Jin Yu felt wounded on the inside.
