Luo Chenxi felt even less courageous to take it upon listening to Grandmother Mu’s remark.

She…she was not Grandmother Mu’s granddaughter-in-law though!

She had it all figured out earlier. She would do anything she could to find a reason and divorce Mu Yichen as soon as Lu Wenjun’s heart transplant surgery was completed.

Otherwise, was she going to spend the rest of her life disguised as someone else and be with a man that she had no feelings for?

Mu Yichen noticed the hesitation within Luo Chenxi. Radiance flickered in his eyes as he grabbed her wrist so firmly that she could not torture the poor jade bangle anymore.

“Aren’t you going to show some respect for Grandmother?”

“I…” Luo Chenxi looked at him in astonishment.

Mu Yichen should be the person that opposed her keeping the bangle the most, should he not?

Grandmother Mu looked hurt. “You refuse to take my jade bangle. Is it because you don’t like me and refuse to be my granddaughter-in-law? I knew it. One of my feet had already stepped into…”

“No, Grandmother! I like you very much and I love the jade bangle too. It’s exquisite! Thanks, Grandmother!” Luo Chenxi hastily interrupted her when she saw Grandmother begin to bemoan her fate again.

Grandmother Mu’s expression changed drastically in a second and she smiled. “I knew that you’re a good child.”

Luo Chenxi widened her eyes in surprise. What just happened? Grandmother seemed like she was about to cry earlier, did she not?

“Alright, it’s getting late. Why don’t you leave after having dinner with me? Sister Chen, is dinner ready?” said Grandmother Mu.

Sister Chen smiled and said from the side, “It’s ready. Everything is ready. The mistress has specially instructed me to make strawberry pudding for the young lady. It’s ready as well.”

“Strawberry pudding!” The little dumpling’s eyes lit up. She spread her short legs and ran toward the kitchen.

Luo Chenxi felt concerned, so she followed along.

Grandmother Mu’s gaze swept across to her grandson. She said in exasperation as if she was disappointed with him, “Look, she refuses to keep the bangle because she doesn’t approve of you! You’re useless, boy. How would you have ever gotten married if not for my help?!”

Mu Yichen was dumbfounded. He came in first as the choice of most handsome man in the media voting after all. How did he turn into an unmarketable Chinese cabbage in his grandmother’s eyes?

At dinner, Tang Tang gave a portion of her favorite pudding to Luo Chenxi once again.

Grandmother Mu was constantly asking about Luo Chenxi’s favorite food as well. She even promised to cook it for her the next time she came for a visit, overwhelming her with affection.

Halfway during dinner, Grandmother Mu became exhausted. After all, she had only recently recovered from a severe illness.

Luo Chenxi and Mu Yichen sent her back to her room to rest before they bade farewell and departed for home.

The little dumpling had been running about for the entire afternoon, so she fell asleep on Luo Chenxi’s lap as soon as they got into the car. She was still making a sucking motion with her mouth as if she was still tasting the strawberry pudding earlier.

The night was slightly cold across the window of the car. It was especially quiet in the car. There was only the sound of Tang Tang’s even breathing.

For some unknown reason, Luo Chenxi suddenly felt anxious. She could not refrain from turning her head to look at the man by her side.

Coincidentally, Mu Yichen was watching her too.

They gazed into each other’s eyes. She saw something flicker in his eyes that were as deep as ink for a moment, but she failed to grasp it because it lasted for just a moment.

Luo Chenxi’s face was glowing with a faint blush.

Mu Yichen looked gorgeous from her angle! Aside from his perfect facial features, she could not even see his pores despite being so close to him. He had perfect complexion too!

Despite his bad temper, he truly lived up to the reputation of being the best-looking man in the country. On top of that, he was wealthy and handsome.

Had it not been for the awkward relationship between them, she bet she would become the love rival of all the women in the entire country just for being in the same car with Mu Yichen!

“Luo Chenxin…” Mu Yichen spoke all of a sudden.

She looked at him in puzzlement.

Mu Yichen pursed his lips. “Grandmother is getting dementia. Don’t take her words seriously.”
