“This is new. You should be hoping that I die, but now you’ve restrained yourself.”


  Instead, the people who always said that they hoped he would always be healthy were the ones who kept making him angry when he was ill.

  The situation now was totally upside down.

  “I don’t agree with you. Although I know that you don’t acknowledge me and don’t think I’m compatible with Xiaoxiao, I’m totally okay with it and don’t care about how you think of me. But you are very ill now. Even if I hate you very much, I still know how to restrain myself.”


  “A person like Eighth Brother deserves a princess.” Grandpa Sheng laughed. “So, I worked very hard to get him the best to show his status and avoid being looked down upon by the other people. I think my grandson is one in a million.”


  “After you have said so much, I only agree with you on this last one.” Mu Qiqi snorted. “But, I’m not that bad. Although I don’t have the power like a princess, I’m stronger than most of the rich young ladies in Jianchuan, aren’t I right?”


  “You are so confident in yourself.”


  Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. Of course, she was confident.

  “Alright, just go back. I have my butler to take care of me.”


  This was perhaps the first time the two could chat in a peaceful manner.

  “Rest well then,” Mu Qiqi said politely and left the ward.

  When Mu Qiqi had left, Grandpa Sheng laughed. “That girl is really something. Her personality and the way she talks are so unpredictable, just like Eighth Brother.”


  “Isn’t she taught by Eighth Brother personally?” The butler laughed as well.

  “But it is this girl who always went against me who makes me feel more at peace than Sheng Xiao and the rest.” Grandpa Sheng sat on the bed and laughed sarcastically. “Speaking of which, Gu Ziling was the one I picked myself, but the result……?”


  Gu Ziling saw Mu Qiqi entering and leaving the hospital with her own eyes. She did not stop Mu Qiqi right then and there, but she told Sheng Kai after going home.

  “Grandpa is not going to his friend’s house. He returned to the hospital. He must be very ill. He didn’t tell us but he told Sheng Xiao.”


  Hearing Sheng Xiao’s name, Sheng Kai’s eyes flashed with disappointment. “Grandpa still favors Eighth Brother.”


  “Grandpa is so unfair. It was still fine when he was healthy. But now that something’s happened to him and there is no one from the Sheng family by his side, wouldn’t that mean that everything will be up to Sheng Xiao? He can say anything to influence him.” Gu Ziling said, “I wouldn’t be this angry if it was you, or Third Brother, or even Sixth Brother. But why must it be Sheng Xiao?”


  “Has Grandpa Sheng forgotten how much Sheng Xiao hurt him?”


  “We’ll go to the hospital tomorrow morning,” said Sheng Kai.

  “What about Third Brother? Should we tell them?”


  “Third Brother shared all the news with Sheng Xiao, but what about Sheng Xiao? He does not take Third Brother seriously at all. Eighth Brother didn’t even tell Third Brother when Grandpa is so ill. Only that idiot will treat Sheng Xiao as his brother.”


  “We’ll go by ourselves,” said Gu Ziling. “Even if Grandpa has to undergo further treatment or whatever that is, we should be present. Sheng Xiao is an outsider. He has no right to get involved with the matters of the Sheng family.”


  Sheng Kai did not say anything. After all, didn’t Gu Ziling want to be Sheng Xiao’s wife before?

  Although they had promised each other to forget about it, when he did think of it, he would still feel hurt.

  Let’s go and see what Grandpa Sheng was trying to do this time. Were they outsiders and only Sheng Xiao was his grandson?……

  The night had just begun.

  Feng Shanshan had hired some workers to renovate the abandoned house. After a thorough cleaning, it was finally habitable.

  Tang Yan, who was living next door came home early that day.

  When Feng Shanshan saw the light next door, she felt warm. It’s not too much for her to steal some sense of security from Tang Yan, right?

  However, perhaps the house had been abandoned for too long. When the water was run, the pipe in the bathroom broke. Then, Feng Shanshan saw her house get flooded. She helplessly retrieved the toolbox to fix the bathroom. “Is it because I’m so bad that I’m punished like this for the next half of my life?”


  Since she had been living alone for a long time, she knew how to fix things around the house. However, she accidently slipped and fell. Was this considered very unlucky?

  She had just hurt her head, and now she hurt her foot?

  Feng Shanshan threw away the wrench in dismay. She couldn’t just let her house keep on flooding, so she forced herself to knock on the door next door shamelessly.

  Tang Yan had ordered takeaway for himself. Just as he was thinking of Feng Shanshan’s cooking, she appeared right at his door.

  “You……”


  “The pipe in my house is broken. I can’t fix it. Can you help me?” Feng Shanshan looked into his house and saw that he was eating takeout, so she suggested something. “I’ll cook you a meal as a gift.”


  “Your house?”


  “Right next door,” Feng Shanshan said helplessly. “It’s good that the house is a standalone house. But the problem is it has been abandoned for too long. If I’m not in a hurry to move into the house, I will surely properly renovate it before living in it.”


  “Hang on.” Tang Yan got his keys and followed Feng Shanshan out.

  Seeing the flood, Tang Yan sighed. “Clear the drain. The water flow is too slow.”


  Then, he squatted at the spot where the water pipe broke.

  Feng Shanshan quickly cleared the drain and tried to save her carpet and things on the floor. However, they were all wet.

  “You are always so surprising.”


  Feng Shanshan said, “Shouldn’t I make life a bit exciting when living alone?”


  Tang Yan did not answer and stood up. He took off his shirt. This made Feng Shanshan gulp. Tang Yan was just wearing a green singlet.

  His body was so muscular. It must be the result of long-term training.

  She could almost see the male hormones being released from his body.

  “The pipe is okay for now. But you have to get a professional to come and fix it tomorrow. Also, your house is flooded now. Do you plan to stay here tonight?” Tang Yan stood up when he fixed the pipe. The six-pack below his chest was so obvious.

  “I’ll camp in the yard. I did the same thing last night.”


  Tang Yan said, “You really are something!”


  Was she a woman?

  After that, Tang Yan took his shirt and walked out. He said to Feng Shanshan, “Pack your things and come over. Or else you will come and bother your neighbor again.”


  Speaking of that, since the house was so wet, she will have to wait a few days to let it dry completely. Feng Shanshan did like the fireplace in Tang Yan’s house very much, so why not?……

  What about Tang Yan? Weirdly enough, when he knew that Feng Shanshan was living next door, his heart started to race.

  Was he misunderstanding something?
