On the day of divorce, my ex-husband begged me to get back together.

Chapter 1109 Procrastination
The two's trip was very low-key, so they didn't attract anyone's attention.

After arriving at the hospital, they followed the old rules and walked upstairs via the staff passage, meeting no one along the way.

Arriving at the old man's ward, as soon as he opened the door, he heard the old man's angry voice saying: "Wait a minute, it must be Xiao Chu and Bai Yan. This bastard moves very slowly. He always focuses on work and doesn't care about me. As an old man, I don’t think you can count on him, I can only count on Xiao Chu.”

Hearing what the old man said, Jian Chu couldn't help but laugh. She subconsciously shook Qi Boyan's hand and said in a low voice, "Grandpa praised me!"

Qi Boyan looked at her showing off. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted her to know that the world is dangerous.

The two walked into the ward. The old man heard the movement and looked over. Qi Boyan said in a calm voice: "Thank you, I will pick up Xiao Chu and come to see you as soon as I finish work. I also bought you your favorite snacks and fruits." , these are all bought by me, not by Xiaochu, who loves you the most, it seems I’ll take them away later!”

"Hmph!!" The old man snorted, glaring at him with turbid eyes and said, "You can leave if you want. Is there any reason to bring back the things you bought? Who taught you?"

Qi Boyan looked at the old man's unwillingness to admit defeat. He was also very helpless. Maybe it was because the older he got, the more he looked like a child.

He put down what he was carrying, followed Jian Chu to the dining table and sat down. He looked at the old man slightly and said, "I was raised by you, grandpa, so naturally I am taught by you!"

"I didn't teach you to behave like this. Don't ruin my brand by talking nonsense." The old man quickly denied it.

Qi Boyan continued to bicker with the old man. Although they bickered the whole time, the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious. Jian Chu served them soup and vegetables on the side, so that they would not go hungry even if they bickered.

Because they are in the hospital, the old housekeeper and the aunt who cooks will also eat with them.

After dinner, it was still early, so the old man proposed to play chess with Qi Boyan.

Although he was hospitalized, most of the old man's hobbies were brought with him, which was convenient for him to relieve his boredom.

The old housekeeper said from the side: "I have wanted to play chess since the afternoon, and I was asked to play a game, but my chess skills are not good, and the old man looks down on me!"

The old man glanced at the old butler lightly and did not refute his words at all. This was equivalent to acquiescence, which made both Jian Chu and the old butler laugh.

When the grandfather and grandson were playing chess, Jian Chu sat quietly aside. I wonder if the old man was tired, so he didn't even notice that Qi Boyan had tried to beat him several times. He pretended not to notice it without leaving any trace. Even Jian Chu He also noticed it, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips slightly without making a sound.

After playing a game of chess for a long time, the old man naturally won in the end.

The old man said to Qi Baiyan seriously: "Your chess skills have deteriorated. You need to practice more, otherwise you will not be able to play in a round in the future."

"Okay, you are right. After I finish the work at hand, I will find a chess master to give me lessons."

"What kind of master do you need? Come to me and I will give you lessons."

"That's okay, but you have to give me a discount."

"It depends on your performance."

The old man said lightly.

Qi Baiyan glanced at the time on his watch calmly, and then said softly to Jian Chu: "Xiaochu, go to the vending machine at the end of the corridor and buy me a bottle of drink!"

Jian Chu was slightly startled and paused, because Qi Boyan was a person who didn't like to drink, so why did he suddenly want to drink?

Qi Baiyan glanced at Jian Chu, and Jian Chu blinked subconsciously, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Jian Chu thought to himself that he probably had something to talk to the old man alone, right?
I guess it would be difficult for the old man to speak if she was here?
Jian Chu only thought that Qi Boyan wanted to talk to the old man about something because of his illness, so she got up and prepared to go out without thinking much about anything else.

But the old man was not happy anymore. He immediately stretched out his hand to stop Jian Chu, looked at Qi Boyan and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qi Boyan was also stunned. He said: "It doesn't mean anything!" The old man said indifferently: "It doesn't mean anything. Then you don't know how to buy it yourself? Why are you ordering Xiaochu? What is your attitude? Are we not there? Did you always command her like this when you were around her?" After the old man questioned Qi Boyan, he looked at Jian Chu and asked: "Xiaochu, is this how he usually treats you?"

Jian Chu quickly shook his head and said, "No, grandpa."

"Xiao Chu, you can say it with confidence. As long as I'm here, he won't dare to do anything to you. Even if I'm hospitalized, I still have plenty of ways to take care of him." The old man's tone was full of defense for Jian Chu, and he was completely done. It was determined that Qi Boyan must have bullied Jian Chu behind their backs.

Jian Chu kept denying it and told the old man: "Grandpa, don't get excited. Boyan didn't bully me. I usually bully him. You don't have to worry about me. If he really bullies me, I will tell you. I will also tell my parents, don’t worry about me.”

After Jianchu's repeated assurances, the old man was half convinced.

However, he still warned Qi Baiyan sternly: "I'm telling you, if you dare to bully Xiaochu, you have to be the first to ask me if you want to do it or not?"

Qi Boyan also gently held his forehead and said helplessly: "I didn't bully her. Fortunately, she is right in front of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to clean myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

"There is no best." The old man snorted, looking like he didn't want to see Qi Boyan.

Jian Chu was deeply moved when she saw the old man like this, but she felt a little ashamed of Qi Boyan. After all, the old man always hurt her seriously to protect her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

In order to make up for Qi Boyan, she offered to go out to buy drinks voluntarily, and then quickly walked out of the ward to leave a separate space for the old man and Qi Boyan.

The old housekeeper went to boil water for the old man to make tea. Since the treatment will start in two days, he will not be able to drink tea, so for now, the old man will be satisfied with whatever he wants to drink.

The aunt also went to clean the kitchen, so Qi Boyan offered to accompany the old man for a walk on the balcony and take a look at his flowers and plants.

The old man stopped arguing with him and obeyed his arrangement and walked to the balcony together.

The evening breeze on the balcony is very cool, probably because of the flowers and trees, so the air feels particularly comfortable.

Qi Boyan chatted nonchalantly with the old man. Because he estimated the time when Jian Chu would buy drinks, he didn't have much time to delay.

Qi Baiyan silently observed the changes in the old man's expression, and he asked calmly: "Grandpa, do you know anyone named Xing?"

The old man was startled for a moment, but there was nothing unusual. He just took advantage of the situation and asked, "Your surname is Xing?"

"Well, yes, I recently had a cooperation with the Xing family in Jiangcheng, but I don't know much about the Xing family, so I wanted to ask if you know anything about it?"

If Qi Boyan used work as an excuse to test the old man, only in this way would the old man not think too much.

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. Jiangcheng and Beicheng are not close to each other. The Xing family is also very low-key. I have only heard about it, but I have no interactions or contacts."

Qi Boyan nodded lightly and said it didn't matter, but said in a low voice: "It seems that I have to spend some time to find out more and see if the Xing family is reliable."

"Well, you can take care of the company's affairs. If the other party is convenient for work and has no illegal behavior, and has no problem with whether the project is profitable or not, you can consider cooperation. After all, the future is long, and it is not just one project that ends with it."

"You're right, I know what to do." Qi Baiyan echoed the old man's words.

Just as the two of them finished talking, Jian Chu came back after buying a drink.

In order to prevent Jian Chu from having any worries or suspicions, Qi Boyan took the drink and drank most of the bottle.

After that, the two stayed with the old man for a while, and didn't leave until about eight o'clock.

After coming out of the ward, Qi Boyan still held Jian Chu's hand and walked toward the elevator together. Jian Chu's voice sounded at this moment, and she asked, "When did you fall in love with drinking?"
