Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Situ Xin Advancing (3)_1

And after Situ Xin was moved from the intensive care unit to a regular hospital room, she saw Xiao Muli insisting on standing by her bed, his complexion much paler, and said with concern, "Brother Muli, you should go back to your room to rest. I’m already fine."

However, Xiao Muli firmly shook his head. "Baby, I’m fine. I will stay with you a little longer." Xiao Muli was resolute. After going through so much, he felt that only by staying by Situ Xin’s side, being able to see her at all times, would his heart settle.

He had truly been frightened by Situ Xin’s condition before, and now, the thought of nearly losing her gave him chills.

"Hey, Xiao lad, what’s this, you’re clinging to my Baby, let me tell you," Old Master Situ, seeing Xiao Muli steadfastly by his Baby, Situ Xin’s bedside, impossible to drive away, suddenly remembered the situation he had neglected before due to worry over Situ Xin’s condition. His anger began to flare up. He intended to scold Xiao Muli, but as he spoke and saw Xiao Muli’s pale, weary face, the words he had prepared stifled in his throat.

Old Master Situ had a fiery temper but a soft heart. He couldn’t bear to see others in a vulnerable state. Now, looking at Xiao Muli’s pallid, tired face, Old Master Situ remembered how Xiao Muli got his injuries and the saddened look on his face as he had watched over his Baby’s hospital bed.

The fire in his heart subsided considerably.

"Old man, settle down a bit, can’t you see Muli’s not looking good?" Old Madam Situ disapprovingly glared at Old Master Situ and then turned to persuade Xiao Muli, "Muli, go and rest first. Once you’ve rested well, you can come back here to accompany Baby." Old Madam Situ was genuinely worried that the young lad from the Xiao family, just recovered, might collapse again because of her precious Baby.

"Grandma Situ, I’m okay. Even if I go back now, I won’t be able to rest well. The moment I can’t see Baby, my heart feels terrifyingly empty; please just let me stay here," Xiao Muli said these simple words, which made Situ Xin feel a profound sense of unease.

Her eyes turned red involuntarily. She regretted internally, regretting why she had been so conflicted over her feelings for Xiao Muli. With Xiao Muli loving her so deeply, what was there to be conflicted about? And at that moment, the tender shoot that had just sprouted in the depths of Situ Xin’s heart grew significantly taller.

After giving Xiao Muli a look, Situ Xin said to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, "Grandpa, Grandfather, please have the doctor add another bed to this room. Let Brother Muli stay here. That way, it will be more convenient for you when you come to the hospital to take care of us."

"No."

"How can this work?" Just as Situ Xin’s voice fell, Xiao Muli heard her suggestion, and the smile on his face had just shown half when Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo opposed in unison.

"How can this not work? I think this method is very good," Situ Xin coaxed her grandfather and maternal grandfather, seeming to have changed a lot after this bout with the Heart Demon, coaxing them with such ease. It was probably an issue with her changing mindset.

However, Situ Xin’s coquettish behavior was well-received by both families, young and old, and almost every time Situ Xin acted coy, their principles just melted away.

But, on this matter, after receiving their granddaughter’s (maternal granddaughter’s) charming act, a softening could be felt in Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo’s hearts.

It wasn’t like before, where they had an attitude of refusing to listen to anything, seemingly set on not agreeing no matter what was said.

Old Master Xiao had been interacting with these two old masters for many years, and he was very clear about the subtle changes on their faces. Seeing their faces soften, he quickly spoke up, "I say, Situ and Old Loo, couldn’t you make an exception for your old brother, considering how many years we’ve known each other, and for the many years Muli has called you grandfathers? Let Muli set up a bed in Xiao Xin’s hospital room and stay temporarily. You both know that this kid still has unhealed wounds and his body has become weak because of the injury. Now he’s been by Xiao Xin’s bedside for so long, he’s reached his limit. Look at his face, it’s as white as a ghost."

Old Master Xiao intended to play on their emotions, but when he saw his grandson’s pale face, even his lips slightly white, his heart surged with distress and worry. "He’s now stubbornly refusing to leave Xiao Xin’s side, and you know the temperament of this kid. Stubborn as ever, once he sets his mind on something, no one can dissuade him or change his mind, no matter who tries," Old Master Xiao originally just wanted to convince Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo but the more he spoke, the more sentimental he became. "Situ, Old Loo, you’ve watched Muli grow up from a little boy. You should know what kind of person he is. You see."

Old Master Xiao wanted to mention how deep Xiao Muli’s feelings were for Situ Xin, but he changed his mind, realizing that this family was different from others. If he brought this up at such a critical moment, it might make them feel like he and his grandson were there to snatch away their precious treasure. That could backfire badly.

Old Master Xiao’s thought was spot-on. After hearing his words, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who had already softened a bit from Situ Xin’s coaxing, softened a bit more.

However, if Old Master Xiao were to bring up Xiao Muli’s feelings for Situ Xin now, it would undo all his previous efforts. It might even result in both him and Xiao Muli being thrown out by the Situ and Loo families.

After listening to Old Master Xiao, Old Master Situ’s heart was already in agreement for Xiao Muli to stay in the same hospital room as Situ Xin. He had it all planned out that the two families would take turns at the hospital, ensuring that Xiao Muli didn’t get any opportunities. Although Old Master Situ agreed in his heart, his displeasure meant he wouldn’t let Xiao Muli have it easy: "This kid Muli, we watched grow up, but he’s been holding his cards close to the chest, targeting my Baby without us knowing." Old Master Situ, thinking of how Xiao Muli had even kept him in the dark, looked at Muli with a dangerously charged gaze.
