How would Xuxu be so weak or frail? The most dangerous thing would probably be food or medicine…
She had been absentmindedly tapping her fingers on the table . She paused for a bit .
The old man was taken aback . "How did you know that your grandmother worked in the fields?"
Xuxu rolled her eyes at him . She then spun her head away from her grandfather with the intention of ignoring him .
Her words didn't entirely assure the old man . "This society is still pretentious after all . So how could you not be?"
Xuxu closed her eyes and didn't respond .
She finished her noodles . Xuxu comfortably settled herself on the deck chair afterward .

Every time she visited her grandfather, she would feel peaceful and contented after a meal—even if it was merely a bowl of rice .
Grandmother was no longer around, and this was the last place she could seek warmth from . Even though Aunt Mu Li and the rest of them treated her well, they were still different from a naggy elder .
…
Mu Li and Su Yue entered the house to find Yan Rusheng resting on the sofa with his eyes closed . His expression seemed rather despondent .
Mu Li walked over to him after removing her shoes . She sat down and started solemnly giving him a piece of advice . "Son, you've voiced out your suspicions about Xuxu's character, and this had infuriated everyone including the Gods . Even I think that Xuxu shouldn't forgive you . But on the account of my future grandson, I want to encourage you not to give up . The child is your hope, and it depends on what you do . "
Yan Rusheng heard his mom and his eyelids fluttered . Other than that, he didn't respond .
A crease appeared between Mu Li's eyebrows and she trudged on . "You have to cast your dignity and pride away . Be patient and abandon your fiery temper . "

Yan Rusheng pressed his lips as he listened intently to the huge clock in the living room . 'Dong… dong…'
Two in the afternoon . I'll wait for you to arrive…
She said that she would wait until he appeared . She was coercing him to agree to the divorce .
"Mother, what time is it now?" Yan Rusheng finally spoke .
Mu Li was bewildered as she blinked her eyes . She glanced at the clock before answering him . "One p . m . , why did you ask?"
"I got it . " Yan Rusheng nodded and rose . He stuffed his hands into his pockets and slumped towards the staircase .
He went to his room and opened his wardrobe .
His blazers and shirts were all neatly arranged . His pullovers and sweaters were folded and placed in a pile . Xuxu had folded and arranged all these clothes, and he didn't move them at all in her absence .
He pulled the drawer . Both their socks were all bundled up and placed together .
Would he still be able to see this ever again?
He randomly chose a pair and closed the drawer . Then he put on a shirt and a blazer .
He appeared well-groomed and suave as he descended the stairs .
"Third Brother, are you heading out?" Su Yue was about to head upstairs when she saw Yan Rusheng . She was curious to see him formally dressed .
It was the fourth day of the Chinese New Year . He didn't have to go to work .
Yan Rusheng nodded vaguely and continued his descent . He walked past Su Yue without a word .
"Third Yan, where are you going to?" Mu Li found it weird that Yan Rusheng dressed so formally .
Actually, he normally dressed like that, but something felt off about him that day . His expression was solemn and serious .
Yan Rusheng lightly replied . "I'm going out for a short while . "
He didn't stop .
…
Xuxu took a taxi to the Civil Administration Office . She stood at the bottom of a long flight of steps as she peered at the building .
It was a sunny and bright day, and the sun almost dazzled her eyes .
