Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Minor Injury (1st Update)

"Dad, why did you back out again?" Jin Nanxi whiffed as she complained, "You stepped on my foot."

Elder Master Jin turned back, shot her a glare, and prodded with his cane accidentally poking Jin Nanxi on the top of her foot.

She had just been stepped on, and now she was poked; Jin Nanxi let out a loud ’ow’.

"Father, you shouldn’t..."

"Shut up, what’s the big deal about stepping on you? What if you wake Niannian up? Let her sleep."

Elder Master Jin was completely oblivious to the fact that his cane had poked Jin Nanxi’s foot. Seeing her exaggerated screams, he feared waking Xu Niannian and shouted even louder, trying to drown out his daughter’s voice.

Jin Nanxi was dumbfounded by her father’s fiery temper, looking at him incredulously.

She was so wronged but speechless. Seeing her quiet down, Elder Master Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second.

"Grandpa, you’ve come..." Xu Niannian was woken up by Elder Master Jin’s thunderous voice.

The two little treasures were also startled awake, while Jin Yu had been awake since the three first pushed the door open but decided to feign sleep, knowing who had come.

Because he was sure Elder Master Jin would give him an earful.

Elder Master Jin’s figure stiffened, his face frozen even more. Darn, he had woken her up.

He glared at Jin Nanxi again without a hint of a good mood, "Told you to keep it down, look what happened, you woke Niannian up."

Without giving Jin Nanxi any chance to argue, he prodded his cane, planning to enter the ward.

Suddenly, he noticed the cane didn’t feel right against the floor.

He looked down to see it resting on Jin Nanxi’s foot.

Elder Master Jin paused, looking at Jin Nanxi, who was in so much pain she looked like a contorted mess but was still trying to keep her mouth shut. He suddenly felt embarrassed.

It was his fault.

At least he poked his daughter, not his daughter-in-law.

That was a relief.

So, the embarrassed Elder Master Jin pretended nothing out of the ordinary happened and glared at Jin Nanxi again, "You wimpy thing."

Jin Nanxi: "..."

Her heart ached, but she dared not speak up.

Tsk, who was this strange old man? She disclaimed him; this wasn’t her dad.

Ye Qin watched the scene with a mixture of laughter and tears, pushing Jin Nanxi to get her to move, signaling her not to block the way.

Jin Nanxi took it as Ye Qin sympathizing with her, showing a grateful expression and holding Ye Qin’s hand, "You’re the best, Second Sister-in-law."

Ye Qin: "..."

Inside the ward, as soon as Elder Master Jin entered, Da Bao, who already disdained his own parents, eagerly extended his little hand toward Elder Master Jin, "Ah ah..."

With a cute and cooing voice, Da Bao cheerfully called out, his plump little head wobbling like it had a spring in its neck, and a silly, happy smile on his face.

Utterly ingratiating.

Now, the most precious in Elder Master Jin’s heart were the two great-grandsons. Seeing Da Bao reach out to him, Elder Master Jin’s face blossomed into a smile.

"Aw, my precious Da Bao, come to Grandpa Zeng for a hug."

Elder Master Jin went over to pick up Da Bao, who clung to Elder Master Jin’s neck as if he’d found his mainstay, and then turned to proudly hum at Xu Niannian and Jin Yu.

With Da Bao as a distraction, Elder Master Jin found it impossible to keep a stern face and scold Jin Yu.

Mainly because he couldn’t stop smiling, which stripped him of his authority.

Laughing joyfully while playing with the child, Xiao Bao was well-behaved, nestling by the bed, with a pale, delicate little face cuddled up next to Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian held him and sat up.

This frightens Jin Nanxi and Ye Qin, who rushed to hold her back, "Niannian, you can’t be reckless, let me hold the baby," Jin Nanxi said.

The day before, when Jin Nanxi and Ye Qin left, Xu Niannian had not yet awakened. Seeing her awake now, they couldn’t express how delighted they were, and they were also relieved.

But they didn’t dare to be too exaggerated, for if Elder Master Jin knew how badly Xu Niannian was injured, he would undoubtedly berate Jin Yu later.

After entertaining Da Bao for a while, Elder Master Jin inquired about Xu Niannian’s health with concern. Xu Niannian didn’t want to worry him, so she smiled and said it was just a minor injury.

Seeing her complexion wasn’t bad, Elder Master Jin actually believed her, so he didn’t blame Jin Yu too much, nor did he inquire about his injuries.

Just as Elder Master Jin was happily playing with Da Bao, Xu Sisi’s voice was heard from outside.

"Granny, take it slow, don’t fall."

Originally, the old lady, Xu Sisi, and Xu Wentian were all supposed to head to Nancheng for the New Year’s.

But then an issue cropped up at Jade Pavilion, and Zuo Qing couldn’t handle it alone, so Xu Wentian had to stay behind to help, which kept them in town.

They didn’t expect Xu Niannian to have an accident.

The old lady, not yet aware that Xu Niannian was awake, still had tears in her eyes.

Upon entering, she wailed, "My poor Niannian..."

"Granny!" Xu Niannian, sitting up in bed, smiled and waved to her.

The old lady choked up, her voice halting, and all three turned to look at Xu Niannian.

"Baby Nian, you’re awake?" After the shock, the old lady excitedly walked over to Xu Niannian’s bedside.

Xu Sisi and Xu Wentian also quickly followed.

Holding Da Bao, Elder Master Jin glanced at Gao Lihong, who was so nervous it was almost exaggerated and was a bit puzzled, inadvertently commenting, "Wentian’s wife, Niannian is just slightly hurt; don’t worry too much."
