Chapter 172: Chapter 172
One of the books sprawled open due to Sheng Jianan’s less-than-gentle handling, revealing a first-place award in an international XX competition inside.
Miss Tang felt a bit speechless. Did he bring all these certificates just to prove he’s highly intelligent?
Tang Yanqi absolutely wouldn’t indulge in Sheng Jianan’s childishness, so she changed the subject: "You didn’t go to work today, are you planning to visit Grandpa later? I’ll change clothes quickly."
Sheng Jianan gave Tang Yanqi a strange look. Why would she think that? Of course, he was staying because of her. Sheng Jianan opened his mouth to explain but swallowed his words. Admitting he stayed because of her would be too embarrassing.
After all, he is Sheng Jianan!
But being flat-out misunderstood by this woman left Sheng Jianan feeling uneasy, so his tone turned sour: "Of course I am, what a silly question."
Tang Yanqi nodded, quickly turned around, and went back to change clothes. Indeed, if he wasn’t going to the hospital to see Mr. Sheng, why else would Sheng Jianan still be here?
After changing clothes and grabbing a quick bite to eat, Tang Yanqi followed Sheng Jianan out the door. Once in the car, Sheng Jianan somehow produced a warming pack and tossed it to Tang Yanqi: "Take it, don’t start hurting later, or the old man will think I’m bullying you. I won’t be taking the blame."
Tang Yanqi was dumbfounded for the second time today. A warming pack! How on earth did Sheng Jianan have something ? Certainly impossible unless Mrs. Zhang prepared it. For Mr. Sheng, he could think of everything.
Tang Yanqi smiled politely: "Thank you." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n0velfire.net
The car started, Sheng Jianan drove fast, but steadily. Upon arriving at the hospital, Tang Yanqi obediently followed behind Sheng Jianan.
As they reached Mr. Sheng’s hospital room, they encountered the nurse in charge of his care. Upon seeing Sheng Jianan, the nurse was slightly surprised: "Young Master? How come you’re here? Didn’t you say..."
Before the nurse could finish, Sheng Jianan interrupted in a deep voice: "How’s Grandpa today?"
"The old man is in good spirits today, he’s eaten quite a bit just earlier."
"Let’s go in and have a look."
Saying that, Sheng Jianan had already taken Tang Yanqi’s hand, and she didn’t struggle, knowing this display was for Mr. Sheng. In such matters, Sheng Jianan was always very attentive.
The room faced the sun, providing great light. The elderly man reclining on the hospital bed saw them coming hand in hand, his wrinkled face relaxed significantly, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Yanqi’s here? Come, have a seat."
Tang Yanqi maintained a smile, obediently sitting down next to the bed: "Grandpa, you look much better in color."
"Old bones, the parts of the body are also about to retire."
"Grandpa, what kind of talk is that?"
Mr. Sheng smiled, his weathered face showing a look of resignation and acceptance. After chatting with Tang Yanqi for a while, he suddenly turned to Sheng Jianan: "You brat, when are you and Yanqi planning to give this old man a great-grandson to dote on?"
The smile on Tang Yanqi’s face froze, not out of shyness, but awkwardness. No one had ever posed this request to her before—birth a child? With Sheng Jianan? They weren’t even remotely a couple. Besides, she figured Sheng Jianan should have children with a woman he loves, right?
Just as Tang Yanqi was about to say something to brush past this topic, she heard Sheng Jianan respond in a completely normal tone: "Understood, I’ll put in double the effort."
