Since childhood, I’ve rarely lied.
Of course, some lies, like saying I eat on time every day, Grandma Gu knows her granddaughter is definitely not telling the truth.
It’s usually minor things that don’t matter, just to keep her from worrying. Grandma Gu understands this deep down and doesn’t say anything about it.
But today, it’s clearly not a small matter.
The man who came in has handsome and cold features, and despite Grandma Gu’s age, it’s her first time seeing such a good-looking man.
What’s more remarkable is the man’s demeanor—cold and indifferent, as if nothing in this world matters to him.
The feeling he gives off is... very distant, yet also carries an indescribable violent ferocity, definitely not a simple person.
Her granddaughter said he is the boss of her company, and she almost believed it.
But listening to the man’s words, Grandma Gu knows her granddaughter lied.
So... if he’s not her boss, who is this man then?
It’s already ten o’clock at night, what is he doing in her hospital room at this hour? What exactly is their relationship?
Grandma Gu suddenly remembered the hospital room she was staying in. This room clearly wasn’t an ordinary hospital room. How could an ordinary room be so quiet and bright?
"Tian Tian, be honest with Grandma, who exactly is this Mr. Bai?"
With her head lowered, not daring to meet her grandma’s eyes, Gu Tiantian pursed her lips, feeling her face grow even hotter.
How should she begin to speak?
Tell Grandma she accidentally got involved with Bai Chenyao?
Tell Grandma she’s now Bai Chenyao’s bed partner?
Only thinking about her grandma’s reaction made Gu Tiantian not dare to think any further.
Grandma Gu frowned. Her granddaughter rarely stayed so silent in front of her.
So... the two brief words Mr. Bai said earlier must be true.
Gu Tiantian pressed her lips together, and after a long pause finally spoke slowly.
"Grandma... he... he is a... a friend of mine."
By climbing up to Bai Chenyao , she only hoped he wouldn’t be angry.
As she noticed two sharp, icy gazes shooting towards her, Gu Tiantian’s eyes grew hot, almost bursting into tears.
Sure enough, Bai Chenyao was very dissatisfied with the relationship she described.
Seeing her granddaughter didn’t dare to look, while Mr. Bai standing next to her looked sullen, casting a frighteningly cold gaze at her granddaughter.
Grandma Gu got anxious inside, knowing her granddaughter still hadn’t told the truth.
Her already weak body, because of her anxiousness, turned speaking into incessant coughing.
"Sweet... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Grandma Gu suddenly looked up, her face turning pale with fright, quickly reaching out to help her sit up straight, rapidly patting her back.
"Grandma, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell somewhere?"
"Grandma, don’t scare me!"
Grandma Gu coughed for a while, her face turning even paler, causing Gu Tiantian to become more flustered.
Just as she was about to call for a doctor, her hand was caught by Grandma Gu.
"Tian Tian, tell Grandma honestly, what exactly is your relationship with this Mr. Bai... Mr. Bai?"
She knows her granddaughter, even in the entertainment business, it’s impossible for her granddaughter to have anything to do with someone .
Unless, something happened.
Gu Tiantian didn’t notice, while she was hurriedly patting her grandma’s back, Bai Chenyao took out his phone and made a call.
While Grandma Gu waited for Gu Tiantian’s answer, the hospital room door was pushed open again, and an elderly man with grey hair in a white coat walked in from outside.
Upon entering, the first thing he did was greet Bai Chenyao.
"The patient is over there!"
Bai Chenyao’s voice was cold, clearly not wanting to engage in small talk.
