Chapter 639: Chapter 639 Grandma Also Has a Fierce Side (1)_1

Situ Xin always stayed in the role of an observer. Moreover, she quite enjoyed her position, liking the way she watched her grandparents and maternal grandparents bicker over such trivial matters.

Xiao Muli, however, wasn’t feeling as good as Situ Xin. His heart had been fluctuating with the conversation of the elders, fearing that any carelessness might cost him the hard-won opportunity he had just secured.

But thankfully, two Old Madams were on his side, along with one grandfather who supported him wholeheartedly.

"All right, everyone has been busy all day, let’s all go back and rest. Let the baby and Jianxin get some good rest too. Let’s go," Old Madam Situ said, and then turned to Situ Xin, "Baby, we’re going back first and will come see you tomorrow. We’ll bring you some tasty food." Old Madam Situ still treated Situ Xin like a little girl who hadn’t grown up.

"Okay, Grandma," Situ Xin obediently responded.

"Baby, if you need anything, call Mom, especially if you feel unwell anywhere, understand?" Loo Yaxin, as a mother, still felt uneasy. But given her parents and in-laws, no matter how reluctant she was to leave or how much she wanted to stay, she had no choice but to follow the crowd and leave.

"Aunt Loo, don’t worry, I’ll take care of Baby," Xiao Muli assured seriously.

"Good." Xiao Muli was also someone Loo Yaxin had watched grow up, and she agreed with the two Old Madams’ ideas, so in her heart, she had already placed Xiao Muli in the position of a prospective son-in-law.

But just as Loo Yaxin was about to utter "good," Situ Haotian, standing behind his wife Loo Yaxin, snorted coldly: "Hmph, you little rascal, don’t act cute after taking advantage. Let me tell you, don’t get any ideas about my daughter, or just wait until you’re healed and see how I’ll deal with you."

"Situ Haotian," Loo Yaxin called out, and he instantly switched from his menacing glare at Xiao Muli to a sycophantic smile.

"Eh, my wife, what are your orders?"

"I’m going to deal with you when I get home," Loo Yaxin warned Situ Haotian, implying that he’d end up sleeping in the study if he kept causing trouble. Then she turned to Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, "Muli, I’m entrusting our Baby to you."

Under the insistence of her grandmother and maternal grandmother, Situ Xin’s family members obediently left to rest at home. Before leaving, Xiao Muli received a warning glare from every male member of the Situ and Loo Families, even the youngest Loo Jie, who had previously clung to Xiao Muli, fiercely glared at the bad guy trying to steal his sister.

Meanwhile, the relieved Gao Yong happened to sneeze just after stepping out of Situ Xin’s hospital room. While sneezing, Gao Yong said, "Who’s mentioning me? Or am I coming down with a cold?" Little did he know, he was on someone’s mind.

Indeed, Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao personally sought out Gao Yong and asked him to help by making a few extra rounds to Situ Xin’s hospital room in the evening. Although Gao Yong nodded and agreed, deep down he was crying a river.

He had stayed up all last night worrying about Situ Xin’s condition. Just moments ago, he had thought that since he wasn’t on duty today and there were no emergencies, he could finally get some well-deserved rest.

But now, that was all just a fantasy; he was fated to spend another night in the hospital.

In the hospital room.

The previously crowded room suddenly felt spacious. Since they were staying in a ward reserved for government officials, everything from the decoration to the equipment was top-notch.

Looking at Xiao Muli, who was still beside her hospital bed with his pale face, Situ Xin felt a sudden twinge of heartache, "Everyone’s gone; don’t just stand there, hurry back to your own bed and lie down." Although Situ Xin was worried about Xiao Muli, her tone wasn’t gentle at all—far from showing the concern she felt.

A sweet smile spread across Xiao Muli’s pale face, "Baby, are you worried about me?" Without leaving, he lay back on his own hospital bed and instead reached out to grab Situ Xin’s hand, holding it tightly.

"Ow, what are you doing? Who’s worried about you?" Situ Xin’s hand, now held by Xiao Muli, struggled symbolically, but with no real strength. If Situ Xin had truly tried to struggle, Xiao Muli wouldn’t have stood a chance against her. A light blush tinged Situ Xin’s cheeks, and her eyes looked everywhere except into Xiao Muli’s.

Xiao Muli couldn’t help laughing at Situ Xin’s shy but cute demeanor, but the laugh strained his wound and he inhaled sharply in pain.

Situ Xin, no longer embarrassed, turned anxiously and asked, "Brother Muli, what’s wrong with your wound?"

"It’s nothing, Baby. Don’t worry, it’s really nothing," Xiao Muli loved seeing Situ Xin’s concerned face, yet he couldn’t bear to let her get worried.

"Nothing? You’re still lying to me. I treated your wound myself, so I know your condition best. Get back into bed now. I need to check your wound," Situ Xin said, throwing off the blanket and about to get out of bed.

Xiao Muli, seeing her intent, hurried to stop her. But before he could move, he was halted by Situ Xin’s stern voice: "Don’t move. If you do, see if I’ll bother with you again in the future."

Her threat was very effective. Upon hearing her words, Xiao Muli didn’t dare to come forward and stop her. But he still said, "Baby, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness. You shouldn’t get out of bed. You get back in bed and rest, don’t worry, I’m truly okay."

"I’ll know whether you’re okay after I’ve seen your wound. As for my own health, I know best that I’m fine now," Situ Xin said, swiftly getting off the hospital bed. Then she walked over to Xiao Muli, supported him up, and helped him to the newly arranged hospital bed: "Lie down."
