“Let me get some food for our dear Tianxin, just in case she gets jealous of her mum.”
Initially, Old Madam Jing thought that the atmosphere at home wouldn’t be very pleasant. Thus, she visited Lang Garden to enliven the atmosphere.
Now that she was here, it was clear that her sister was in decent condition. Thus, she left Lang Garden after dinner.
Ye Tianxin, Xie Yi, and Grandmother watched TV in the living room after dinner.
Grandmother had more difficulty walking than before, so she had to undergo rehabilitation training for quite some time.
“Tianxin, didn’t you say that you know how to embroider? Show me.”
Ye Tianxin fetched the embroidery basket and picked out some needles and threads. She sat down before Grandmother and focused on embroidering a red plum blossom.
“Grandmother, do you believe me now? You have a successor for your traditional embroidery of Jiameng.”
Grandmother took the embroidery piece from Ye Tianxin and observed it closely. She then said, “While you were embroidering just now, I noticed that your embroidery skills haven’t matured enough. When you embroider, you should stitch like this…”
Xie Yi held a cup of tea in her hands and looked at Ye Tianxin and her grandmother with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, her head started throbbing in pain.
However, Grandmother and Ye Tianxin were too absorbed in embroidering to notice.
Xie Yi took out a pillbox from her handbag. She took one of the white-colored pills from the pillbox, put it into her mouth, then swallowed the pill with warm water.
After taking her medicine, Xie Yi slowly stood up, put on her coat, and walked towards the courtyard of Lang Garden.
White snow reflected the light from the streetlamps, and the plants and trees in Lang Garden made Xie Yi feel strangely familiar with the place.
Xie Yi walked to a winter plum tree where snow piled on the yellow plum blossoms. She reached out and gently tapped on the plum blossoms with her fingertips. The snowflakes on the plum blossoms tumbled down and landed on her fingertips, bringing her slight chills.
The aroma from the winter plum seemed to linger on her fingertips.
“Linlang.”
Upon stepping foot into the courtyard, Xie Xuning noticed Xie Yi standing under the streetlamp beside the winter plum tree.
That graceful figure looked so much like Linlang.
He could not stop himself from calling Linlang’s name, but he already knew that he got the wrong person again.
How could she be his beloved Linlang?
“You’re back, Mr. Xie?” Xie Yi knew that Xie Xuning recognized her wrongly. “Tianxin mentioned that you were busy.”
Xie Xuning nodded. “Yeah, I’m quite busy, but I had to free up some time to come back since my mum’s discharged from the hospital today. Let’s go inside. The weather’s too cold to stay outside. You should be careful not to catch a cold. Qie Wang told me that many of the recent patients at the hospital have the flu…”
As soon as Xie Xuning and Xie Yi went inside, Grandmother started nagging, “Xuning’s back. It’s so late already. Let’s go to bed, Tianxin.”
“Grandmother, let’s go to bed after I’ve finished embroidering this.”
Grandmother stealthily approached Ye Tianxin and whispered, “Tianxin, do you still want a brother?”
“I…” Ye Tianxin thought her head was going to explode.
What did Grandmother mean by that?
Did Grandmother expect Xie Yi and Xie Xuning to try for a second baby?
That would not do.
Xie Yi was a married woman, while Xie Xuning was the country’s commander; he would not be the third wheel in other’s relationships.
“Grandmother, dad just came back from outside. Shouldn’t we let him rest first?”
Ye Tianxin winked at Xie Xuning desperately, but he could not understand. He asked, “Tianxin, are you not feeling well?”
Ye Tianxin walked to Xie Xuning and explained what Grandmother meant to him.
Before Xie Xuning could respond, Grandmother spoke in a loud voice.. “Xuning, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get some rest with Linlang.”
