Xuxu smiled and said, “I’m alright. Go back to your work.”
After Mi Ling left, Xuxu picked up her cup of hot water to warm her chilly hands.
Her tummy was in so much pain that she couldn’t concentrate on her work.
After tidying her desk, she stood up and walked towards the door while informing Mi Ling at the same time, “Mi Ling, I’m going out for a while. Give me a call if there’s anything urgent.”
…
At the clinic, Old Master Wen took Xuxu’s pulse and shook his head. “I’ve told you umpteen times not to touch cold water, but you wouldn’t listen. Now, your body is even colder.”
Xuxu quibbled, “I didn’t touch cold water.”
This time around, the pain was indeed worse than before and her body felt even colder.
Before she left the house this morning, she had used cold water to clean the house, wiped the table and washed hers and Yan Rusheng’s clothes and personal items.
With all of these, she couldn’t let grandfather know, and she didn’t dare too.
Furthermore, grandfather wouldn’t believe her words.
The elderly snorted coldly to express his displeasure. “Grandfather knows your condition very well. I’ll boil some soup to warm and nourish your body. Go home and have a good sleep after drinking.”
Xuxu smiled cheekily. “Thank you, grandfather.”
Grandfather concocted some medication for her. He added in dark brown sugar and ginger and got Qi Lei to boil them for Xuxu to consume.
It was winter. Grandfather’s reclining chair was decked with a thick layer of a woolen cushion, giving it a warm and cozy feel. Xuxu lay on it while sipping on the hot bowl of soup; she finished drinking it in no time.

She handed the empty bowl back to her grandfather who was sitting beside her. “I’ve finished drinking.”
“Every time you feel unwell, you would come back and look for grandfather.” Grandfather took the bowl from her and reprimanded her affectionately, “Since that fellow is so good, why didn’t you look for him when you are unwell?”
Xuxu knew who ‘ that fellow’ grandfather was referring to. She fawned over her grandfather with a laugh. “Grandfather is my intimate cotton jacket .”
The old man’s face darkened and stretched out his hand to hit her hard on the head. “You have no respect for your elder.”
“Ouch! Grandfather, I know I’m wrong.” Xuxu retracted her neck and pulled the blanket higher over her.
After drinking the soup which her grandfather had made, her tummy was no longer in pain.
She hadn’t been back for a long time and her trip home felt so much warm that she couldn’t bear to leave.
As she laid on the reclining chair, drowsiness began to take hold of her.
She had intended to catch a wink before heading back to the office, but by the time she woke up, the sun had set.
Xuxu glanced at the clock and swiftly leaped to her feet. “It’s almost 6 p.m.”
Grandfather heard her yell and stuck his head out from the second floor to look at her. ” So what if it’s past 5 p.m.? Why are you so flustered?”
“I need to go back now.” Xuxu reached for her bag as she spoke. Without biding a proper goodbye to Old Master Wen, she dashed out of the door.
She left her car in the office and had taken a taxi to her grandfather’s house. Since she didn’t have the time to go back and retrieve it, she flagged a taxi instead en route to her home.
Just as she had expected, she was stuck in the rush hour jam for more than an hour and arrived home only after 7 p.m.
The house was brightly lit. Xuxu swiftly changed into her slippers and headed straight for the kitchen.
She walked past the dining room which was empty and quiet. The kitchen was also spick and span, which was exactly the same when she left home this morning.
She found her apron and put it on swiftly. She opened the fridge and rummaged through the ingredients before taking out a few items and threw them into the basin.
