Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Madam Bai cried loudly. “Xiting, you promised to take care of Yingying for the rest of your life when you were young. Yingying was so angry that she fainted. Xiting… Xiting! !
Huo Xiting didn’t even stop and left.
No matter how much Madam Bai cried behind him, he acted as if he didn’t hear her.
Ye Beisheng looked at him curiously. The man suddenly pursed his lips and said, “It didn’t mean anything.”
“Hmm?”
Huo Xiting turned to look at her and said seriously, “I didn’t promise Bai Ying anything.”
Ye Beisheng nodded. It didn’t matter if he had actually promised Bai Ying anything as long as they didn’t come looking for trouble with her.
Huo Xiting saw that she didn’t care and frowned. “You don’t believe me?”
Ye Beisheng shook her head. She believed that if a person like Huo Xiting really cared about Bai Ying, he would not have said that about her. With how he acted earlier, it did prove that he didn’t care about her.
Huo Xiting raised his eyebrows.
Since she believed it, why did she have such an expression? It was as if she did not care at all. As long as Bai Ying did not jump in front of her and make things difficult for her, it did not matter to Ye Beisheng whether this woman had an ambiguous relationship with him.
Was this the attitude a wife should have?
“Ninth Master, you’re back!”
Huo Xiting wanted to say something, but suddenly an old servant emerged from the corner. The servant smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. “Old Madam is awake. She’s waiting for you.”
Ye Beisheng turned around.
Could she be referring to Huo Xiting’s grandmother?
Sure enough, Huo Xiting nodded. “I’ll head over right now.”
The servant led the way. He held Ye Beishen’s hand and whispered, “Mrs. Huo, it’s fine if your acting skills are exposed in front of others, but you can’t disappoint Grandma.”
Ye Beisheng automatically translated the sentence in her head.
What he meant was that as long as the old madam believed them, Huo Xiting didn’t care about the others.
The two of them walked through a long corridor and came to a different place that was independent from the rest of the mansion. Ye Beisheng smelled a strong whiff of medicinal herbs as soon as she entered, but Huo Xiting was used to it.
“Old Madam is waiting for you in the sunroom.”
He pushed the door open and entered. Under the warm sunlight, the old woman was sitting on a bamboo couch. Huo Xiting looked moved as he called for her. “Grandma.’
Ye Beisheng had never seen Huo Xiting like this.
He had always been cold and taciturn. His smile never reached his eyes. Even if he was concerned, there was a hint of sarcasm.
She had never seen his eyes filled with worry and heartache.
Grandma Huo patted Huo Xiting’s hand. “Oh, our little boy is all grown up now.”
Although those were the eyes of an old woman in her seventies, Ye Beisheng felt that they were exceptionally clear and penetrative.
“This is your wife, right?” Grandma Huo looked at Ye Beisheng, “Xiao Jiu, Grandma is so happy.”
Ye Beisheng thought that Grandma Huo would continue the conversation by saying that she never thought that he would get married.
“Grandma never thought that you would fall in love with a woman.” Grandma
Huo spoke out of nowhere.
Ye Beisheng turned speechless.
Wasn’t Grandma’s expectations were already so low?
Huo Xiting’s smile froze for a moment.
Grandma Huo was still sighing. “Just recently, I had someone make a pair of jade carvings and wanted to give them to you and Adjutant Lin. It seems that they won’t be of any use now. Dear, come over here.”
Ye Beisheng kept in mind that they were now a loving couple. She gently stepped forward and greeted, “Hello, Grandma.”
“Dear, I am so happy to see you. Grandma is sick and won’t be able to awake for long hours. I don’t know when we’ll meet again. I would have also given you a present but it’s too late to get them now.”
Ye Beisheng was about to say that it was alright and that she didn’t need any presents.
Then, the old madam took out a black object from the bed and stuffed it into Ye Beisheng’s hand. “I’ll give this to you as a gift.”
Ye Beisheng looked at the thing and was silent for two seconds.
This gift was really ingenious..
