213 Urged to Get Married
When the first rays of morning sunlight shone on the white bedsheets, Gu Man slowly opened her eyes. Then, she heard Xiang Yin’s familiar voice. “You’re awake? Do you want to eat something?”
His voice sounded a little hoarse. Could it be that he had been guarding her all night?
“I just got here.”
Xiang Yin saw through Gu Man’s thoughts and lied through his teeth.
“No need. I’ll buy some on the way to school.” Gu Man rejected Xiang Yin’s good intentions and propped herself up from the bed.
Xiang Yin handed her a pillow and placed it at her waist to make her feel better.
After doing this, Xiang Yin said, “I applied for leave from your school. Rest well today.”
“Leave?” Gu Man was stunned. “What identity did you apply for leave with?”
“Good friend?” Xiang Yin said, his lips curling into a meaningful smile.
“Alright.” Gu Man accepted the fact that she was forced to take a leave. Anyway, she could not learn much in school. Instead of sitting in her seat and wasting time, she might as well stay in the hospital to replenish her spiritual power.
However, Xiang Yin was still by her side. It was not easy to use some of her cultivation techniques and postures.
Just as Gu Man was thinking about how to send Xiang Yin away, Xiang Yin’s phone rang.
Xiang Yin took out his phone and looked at it with a rare helpless expression.
“Sorry,” Xiang Yin said as he left with his buzzing phone.
Outside the ward, Xiang Yin looked at the huge word “Mother” on the screen and sighed.
His fair fingers landed on the answer button. Soon, an old woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Little Yin, where did you go last night? I heard from Ah Fu that you didn’t go home again!”
The old woman sounded 30% resentful and 70% worried.
“Grandma, I’m working overtime at the company,” Xiang Yin said calmly.
“Little Yin, the Xiang Family is thriving now. Your father is enjoying life at home. Don’t be too tired. Just leave some things to your subordinates,” the old woman said with heartache.
“Live with worry and die in peace,” Xiang Yin said softly. “Grandma, you taught me this.”
There was a pause for a second or two on the other end of the phone. Xiang Yin couldn’t help but smile. He could imagine his grandmother’s unconvinced expression.
“Hmph, you only know how to argue with me!”
As expected, Old Madam Xiang was quite critical.
“You look like your father when you’re so stubborn. How can you woo girls in the future?! When you bring me a granddaughter-in-law, I can smile in the netherworld!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Xiang Yin rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “You’ll definitely live to a hundred years old. You still have to carry a great-grandson.”
“Oh?” Suddenly, Old Madam Xiang’s voice rose by eight degrees. “Something’s wrong, something’s wrong. Something’s wrong with our Little Yin!”
Xiang Yin’s heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that he had been careless.
“You usually hang up immediately when you hear me say these things, but today, you actually took the initiative to mention my great-grandson… Little Yin, do you have someone you like?”
Old Madam Xiang asked happily, “Which family is she from? What’s her name? When do you plan to bring her home to take a look? Her family is…”
“Alright, alright. Grandma, we have a meeting. I’m hanging up.”
Xiang Yin felt a headache coming on. He hung up without a word, leaving Old Madam Xiang with a busy tone.
Sigh, he would not be able to escape a round of pestering when he returned.
Xiang Yin smiled bitterly. When he returned to the ward, Gu Man was looking at him with a complicated expression.
“What’s wrong?” Xiang Yin asked.
“Nothing.” Gu Man retracted her gaze unhurriedly.
Actually, with the enhancement of her spiritual energy, her five senses had increased greatly. She had heard Xiang Yin’s conversation with his family clearly.
Gu Man did not mean to eavesdrop, but when she circulated her spiritual energy, it was very difficult to control the sensitivity of her five senses.
Xiang Yin had someone he liked? He looked cold and heartless, but he was actually moved?
Still…
Xiang Yin usually took good care of her and was not as cold and heartless as the rumors said. It seemed like she could not believe all the rumors.
