Chapter 542: Concern

Although Jing Rui must have uttered this sound without knowing what it was or meant, Shangguan Ning was delighted. She spun him around.

“My son is so smart! You are surely going to become a genius like your father.”

Jing Yichen had just returned home when he heard his wife praising him. He chuckled.

He put down the briefcase, and came to Shangguan Ning. He took his son in his arms, and kissed both of them. He said with a bright smile, “What is it going on? You look very happy!”

Shangguan Ning looked very proud and pleased. She almost never had this kind of expression on her face.

Shangguan Ning lifted her head to kiss Jing Yichen’s chin and said mischievously, “I am going to take revenge now! Miss. Zhao would soon get unlucky. Hopefully she is able to pull through, otherwise the show would not be as much fun and my preparations would get wasted.”

The only Miss. Zhao they knew was Zhao Anan!

Jing Yichen’s heart stirred after he was kissed by his wife. His Adam’s apple bobbed when he saw this slender woman and her shining face.

But this annoying little guy in the middle was preventing him from sweeping his woman into his arms.

Jing Yichen lowered his head and saw his son who was blowing bubbles. He mumbled with a grudge – grow up, you little boy! I want to hold your mother.

With Jing Rui in one of his arms and the other over Shangguan Ning’s slender waist, he said in a gentle, sweet tone, “I did not know that you could lay traps as well. Should I give you a hand?”

Shangguan Ning thought for a moment and said with a happy smile, “Not needed at the moment. I will tell you if I do.”

…

At this moment, Zhao Anan was behaving like an obedient girl at home.

After she went missing the last time, the Old Lady of the Zhao Family had been keeping an eye on her only granddaughter. She had got six men from Jing Yichen to stalk her and even hired four very skilled bodyguards for her.

These bodyguards were not there to protect her but to track her movements.

Neither the Old Lady of the Zhao Family nor Zhao Zhao knew that Zhao Anan had been imprisoned during this time. Jing Yichen did not tell them the truth to avoid causing heartache.

Had the Old Lady known about it, she would have hired even more bodyguards.

Zhao Anan was not allowed to go anywhere at the moment, except to visit Shangguan Ning or the Mu’s Hospital!

She must come back and report her activities every day. She was not allowed to stay overnight anywhere, not even at Zheng Lun’s!

“Grandmother, see how obedient I am these days. Please let me go out to have fun okay? I feel trapped in here. Do you want your only granddaughter to die?”

Old people were often quite against the word Death, and the Old Lady of the Zhao Family disliked this word even more, because Zhao Anan was at the verge of death all the time.

She glared at her with displeasure. “Nonsense! What is so bad about keeping me company at home? I have not gotten sick after being at home for so long and I even feel quite fresh. You are not allowed to go anywhere, but stay at home.”

Zhao Anan’s charming face crumpled.

She mumbled unwillingly. “What is the fun in staying at home every day? There is no one to even talk with. I will go mental if I continue to stay here.”

The Old Lady could hear her every word, clearly.

But she was not moved.

It was Shangguan Ning’s idea that Zhao Anan should not go anywhere. After hearing what Shangguan Ning was going to do, she had started collaborating with her.

“Ah, Grandmother, I will definitely not run away this time. Can I not have so many people following me all the time? I will be obedient. I will just go to A City to relax myself. Is that okay?”

The Old Lady got a bit swayed by what she said. She was about to give her permission when the phone rang.

Zhao Anan glanced at the phone and found that the caller was Shangguan Ning.

Strange, how did Shangguan Ning get in touch with grandmother? And why?

Zhao Anan was certain that she had never told Shangguan Ning about her grandmother’s phone number. Could it have been Jing Yichen who told her? This was weird! If Shangguan Ning needed something, she should come to her instead, why grandmother?

The Old Lady glanced at her granddaughter, picked up the phone calmly and spoke about a few inconsequential things and then hung up.

Zhao Anan did not catch what Shangguan Ning said on the other side of the phone, but she could tell that something weird was going on.

“Grandmother, why did Ning call you?”

The Old Lady lied calmly, “Ning cares about my health and calls me often to see if I am doing fine. She said that she will take me to the Mu’s Hospital for a thorough inspection. What a nice kid!”

“Aha?”

Zhao Anan was surprised.

That did not sound right, did it?

Shangguan Ning was a nice person, but she was not the type who would suck up to anyone. Also, grandmother was doing very well. There was no need for her to call her for that.

The Old Lady was a smart person. She could easily tell that her granddaughter did not believe what she said.

She pretentiously sighed and said, “Sigh, I am spoiling you in vain. See, even an outsider is treating me nicely. I almost could not fall asleep when you went missing, fearing that you would run into some trouble. But Ning called me every now and then, telling me jokes and making me happy even during her pregnancy. But you are the one that keeps thinking about going out and running away from marriage. I don’t think that I will be able to see you getting married even at my deathbed.”

The Old Lady had been acting at the beginning but gradually, she really turned upset.

She had asked Zhao Anan implicitly and explicitly, numerous times about her marriage with Mu Qing, but Zhao Anan always pretended to be either deaf or dumb.

Everyone else was worried about it except for herself!

She might be doing well at the moment, but the Old Lady knew that she had only a few years to go. She would have died ages ago but for the medicine she kept taking all the time.
