Chapter 1014: Chapter 983: Concern and Tenderness

Now that there were a few of them, Third Grandma Qi wanted to have a serious talk with her granddaughter.

"It’s good that you think this way," Third Grandma Qi said with a smile, "Money is something that, as long as you have enough to spend, you don’t need to be too concerned about, but you can’t completely ignore it either. Money isn’t everything, but without it, you’re helpless. Stay true to your core, and don’t let so-called love or men blind you. This isn’t to say you can’t have a good relationship with Tang Qian and live a good life, but I hope you can use your own wisdom to manage your life and future."

He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin took Third Grandma Qi’s words to heart.

They were past the rebellious teenage years and could listen to others’ advice, discerning right from wrong, so they cherished the elder’s persuasion and instruction even more.

"Grandma, we’ve taken note, so don’t worry about us anymore. Please enjoy your later years," He Tiantian said with a smile. "As long as you’re all right, we, your juniors, will be all right too."

"Haha, of course." Third Grandma Qi laughed, "I’ve seen many people in my lifetime and have gone through all kinds of hardships. I’ve long since seen through these things. I will naturally live well for the rest of my life. You don’t need to worry about me. By the way, since your dad isn’t here, I’ll mention it now. If I get a terminal illness, I don’t want treatment, just some painkillers will do. I don’t want to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatments or be intubated, wondering whether I’ll live or die."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Upon hearing this, He Tiantian clicked her tongue several times, "Grandma, you are in good health, you can’t talk about yourself like that."

"Haha, I am just getting things in order, just like setting up a will in advance," Third Grandma Qi laughed, "At my age, I’ve come to terms with life and death, what can’t be talked about."

"Grandma, if you’re not afraid, we are," Qi Zhengmin said. "You don’t know how much we love and adore you..."

Qi Zhengmin had grown up abroad and was particularly good at expressing her feelings.

He Tiantian had the same thought, but she was too shy to say it so directly.

"Haha, alright, let’s not talk about this," Third Grandma Qi chuckled, clearly enjoying the affection from her grandchildren.

"Grandma, how about I take you to the best hospital for a checkup in a few days, just to be sure, alright?" He Tiantian suggested, suspecting that something was wrong with Third Grandma Qi’s health but was too embarrassed to say it directly.

"No!" Third Grandma Qi waved her hand, "I’m in good health, I’m not going. By the way, we’re going to see the parade tomorrow. Tang Qian said that everyone will have a seat, are you guys coming?"

"Of course." He Tiantian responded, "This grand parade is very rare, and besides, Grandma, since you’re here, we must go. As the younger generation, we should definitely accompany you, and we also want to see our beloved People’s Liberation Army troops."

"Then that’s settled, we’ll go together tomorrow," Third Grandma Qi said with excitement, "Alright, it’s getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Goodnight, Grandma," He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin said in unison, then left together.

Outside, they said goodbye to each other and each went back to rest.

The two children were already asleep, and Huo Ruifeng was being a bit naughty today, squirming in his dad’s arms and looking around, probably looking for his mom.

When He Tiantian came in, the boy’s eyes lit up, and he reached out for his mom to hold him.

"Mom..." The little kid was already able to call for his mom, his voice milky and his chubby little face extremely cute.

But don’t be fooled by his angelic appearance; at heart, he was a little devil, especially hard to manage. Looking after him alone was more tiring than it had been with Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin.

Seeing her son wanted her to hold him, He Tiantian quickly walked over a few steps and picked up the child, saying, "It’s late, time to sleep."

"Mom, sleep!" Huo Ruifeng said.

He Tiantian understood that the little boy wanted to sleep with her instead of in his crib.

Hearing this, Huo Yingjie was displeased and said, "Once he falls asleep, put him in his crib. Don’t let him sleep on the big bed."

"He’s still young," He Tiantian argued back, "It’s normal for him to want to sleep with me!"

"He is a boy, you can’t coddle him like that," Huo Yingjie frowned, "Hand him over, I’ll put him to sleep."

Perhaps sensing that Dad was unhappy, little Huo Ruifeng kept burrowing into his mom’s chest, his little head nuzzling against He Tiantian.

"Fine, let’s wait until he grows up and becomes a man," He Tiantian said, "I’ll put him to sleep now. You don’t need to say more. You’re his real dad. If strangers saw you like this, they might think you’re his stepdad."

"Hmph, if I were his stepdad, I’d have thrown him out long ago," Huo Yingjie muttered, unable to argue with his wife, the child still preferring to sleep between them at night.

That meant he couldn’t hold his wife.

The thought was depressing.

Indeed, the little boy wanted to sleep between mom and dad.

Huo Yingjie showed a displeased face, so He Tiantian reached right over and pinched the flesh on Huo Yingjie’s waist, squeezing hard enough that Huo Yingjie yelped in pain.

It wasn’t until nearly ten o’clock that the little rascal finally fell asleep.

Huo Yingjie got up and immediately placed the child in his crib, surrounding his belly with a layer of small blankets and covering him with a little quilt to keep him from getting cold.

Huo Yingjie quickly got into bed and held He Tiantian tightly, whispering, "Tiantian, I’ve missed you!"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, He Tiantian was somewhat speechless, "I just had my period a few days ago, are you looking for a battlefield bathed in blood?"

"Hong Jun is attacking, I dare not charge in recklessly, could only lurk until now," Huo Yingjie mumbled, "Is it okay? Is it okay?"
