“Yunxi likes seafood, and Yanxi likes something lighter.”

“That’s why we should mix meat and vegetables at night,” Tang Moxi replied as she washed the prawns.

“I am bearing those in mind!” Liu Li nodded.

“Liuli, what do you want to eat tonight?” Tang Moxi turned to look at her and asked.

I’m fine with anything. I’m very easy to raise!” Liuli replied with a smile.

“I can tell!” Tang Moxi nodded.

Was it really a good idea to attack the young girl’s heart and self-esteem in this way?

“This is my luck!” Tang Moxi added.

“What?” Liuli looked at Mr. Tang in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

“Liuli, do you want to hire a nanny in the future, or do we have to cook for ourselves?” Tang Moxi continued to ask.

“You should have the ability to cook for ourselves, do we?” Liuli sighed.

If she had to do that with her culinary skills, she could forget about the idea of cooking by herself…

“I’ll take care of breakfast and dinner. If I’m not at home, can you cook for yourself?”

“I can eat outside!” Liuli replied smoothly.

“Can you solve it yourself?” Tang Moxi stared at her and asked again.

Of course, 1 can cook, just not very convenient!”

“Besides, the school doesn’t allow us to cook in the dormitory!” Liuli muttered.

“I don’t mean in the dormitory,”

“When school starts, move in with me!” Tang Moxi said directly.

“Huh?” Liuli widened her eyes and looked at Tang Moxi. She was anxious! “But Brother Moxi, you said before that I can continue studying!”

“I didn’t say that you can’t continue studying. 1 just said that you can move in with me!” Tang Moxi smiled.

“No… there’s no need. I’m fine staying in the dormitory,” Liuli quickly said.

Do you want us to live separately from the beginning?” Tang Moxi asked Liuli.

“Brother Moxi, do you have temporary memory loss or something?” Liuli couldn’t help but walk up to Tang Moxi and ask nervously.

Tang Moxi looked at Liuli and smiled.

“Why do you say that?”

“You keep forgetting that we got married to make Grandpa happy. It’s just a temporary arrangement!” Liuli pouted.

“And then?” Tang Moxi asked again.

“We still have our own lives to live in the future, don’t we?” Liuli looked up at Mr. Tang and said seriously.

“I almost forgot. You’re still young! There’s no hurry!” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

Liuli really wanted to say that this had nothing to do with Xiao Xiao. They weren’t really married!

“Liuli, do you want to cook red-braised pork tonight?”

“Yes, Grandpa likes it!” Liuli immediately replied.

The thought of Grandpa Tang enjoying the red-braised pork she cooked made her feel that she had done something meaningful.

While Liuli and Tang Moxi were busy with dinner, Liuli was startled by the sound of hurried footsteps. She turned around and saw that Tang Yunxi had already reached the kitchen door, shouting,

“Brother, Grandpa is in critical condition!”

Then came a thud as the spatula fell into the pot.

Tang Moxi rushed out almost immediately.

Liuli was about to run out when she realized that the fire was still on.

Hence, she turned off the fire and ran out.

Nothing must happen to Grandpa Tang. Nothing must happen to Grandpa Tang. Nothing must happen to Grandpa Tang…

Along the way, Liuli prayed in her heart as she ran.

But for some reason, she felt like crying.

Just as she was in a daze, Liuli fell and could not get up for a long time.

It took a while for her to calm down. She hurriedly got up and continued running towards Grandpa Tang’s room.

The three siblings of the Tang family were all there. The caregiver was giving Grandpa Tang emergency treatment while Liuli stood at the side, trembling with fear.

She was afraid that Grandpa Tang wouldn’t be able to make it.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Grandpa Tang to the hospital.

Mr. Tang followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Liuli, Tang Yunxi, and Tang Yanxi followed behind in the car.

No one spoke.

Liuli did not dare to speak.

She could only lower her head and pray that Grandpa Tang would be safe.

When they arrived at the hospital, Grandpa Tang had already been taken to the emergency room.

Tang Moxi stood guard outside.

“Brother…” Tang Yanxi walked over and called out softly, “Grandpa should be fine!”

Tang Moxi did not speak and only nodded.

Liuli didn’t know how to comfort Mr. Tang.

At this moment, as she looked at his tall figure with one hand on the wall, looking so lonely, Liuli felt a little sore.

She quietly walked over and held Mr. Tang’s hand.

Tang Moxi turned to look at her. Liuli wanted to force a smile, but her tears were on the verge of falling.

Tang Moxi remained silent and simply put his arm around Liuli’s shoulder.

Liuli stood quietly by Mr. Tang’s side.

The surgery went on for a long time.

Eventually, Liuli leaned against the chair next to Mr. Tang and waited, not knowing what time it was.

“Brother, Sister-in-law, let’s eat first. Grandpa will get better. We need to take care of ourselves too!” Tang Yanxi approached with her belongings.

Tang Moxi remained silent. Seeing his silence, Liuli could only speak up.

“Yanxi, I’m not hungry right now. Just leave it here for now.”

At that moment, Tang Moxi looked up and took the lunch bag from Tang Yanxi’s hand.

“You and Yunxi should go back and rest. I’ll call you if there’s any news.”

“No, we’ll stay here until Grandpa is safe,” Tang Yanxi insisted.

“Brother, Sister-in-law, eat while it’s still warm!” Tang Yanxi walked to the other side and started eating the packed lunch she had brought with Tang Yunxi.

Everyone was in a somber mood.

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, but they were spending it in the hospital.

However, Tang Yanxi understood well that they couldn’t all collapse from exhaustion while Grandpa was lying in the hospital.

Grandpa would definitely not want to see them like this.

Tang Moxi opened the lunchbox and handed one to Liuli, along with a pair of chopsticks.

“Eat while it’s hot. I’ll have the driver send you back later.”

No, I want to wait here for Grandpa to come out too,” Liuli looked up at Tang Moxi and replied.

Tang Moxi looked at her and nodded without saying a word.

She opened her lunchbox, but her appetite was lacking.

“Brother Moxi, you should eat more. Grandpa will be fine!” Liuli couldn’t help but say when she saw Tang Moxi holding the lunchbox without taking a bite.

“I know!” Tang Moxi replied and started eating.

Seeing that Mr. Tang had begun eating, Liuli took small bites herself.

Even though she didn’t have much of an appetite, she couldn’t bring herself to not eat.

They finally finished their meal. After a while,

The warning light in the operating room finally turned off.

Everyone stood up and gathered at the door, waiting for the doctor to come out.

Eventually, the doctor emerged and informed them that their lives were not in immediate danger, but there was no guarantee they would survive beyond a few days. They were advised to mentally prepare themselves.

Liuli immediately turned to Mr. Tang.

Tang Moxi thanked the doctor calmly and waited for Grandpa to be transferred to the ICU

At this moment, Grandpa was still unconscious.

Liuli gazed at Grandpa lying in the 1CU with various tubes connected to his body. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

Seeing Grandpa Tang, Liuli wondered if Grandpa was the same back then when he asked her parents not to tell her.

Thinking of this, Liuli felt an even stronger urge to cry.

However, she couldn’t cry. Despite the medical crisis notice given by the doctor, Grandpa Tang was still fighting, right?

Therefore, she couldn’t allow herself to cry!

“Yunxi, Yanxi, go back and rest with Liuli,” Tang Moxi turned around and instructed.

“Brother, I don’t want to go back. I want to stay here with Grandpa,” Tang Yunxi immediately said.

“Go back and get some rest. Come back tomorrow morning to take over for me. Grandpa probably won’t be discharged so soon. We need to take turns to care for him!”

“Go back. Liuli, go back with Yanxi,” Tang Moxi turned around and directed his last statement to Liuli.

“It’s better if Yunxi and Yanxi go back. I’ll stay here with you! We’ll have more company. If anything happens, we can handle it together!” Liuli held Tang Moxi’s hand and insisted.

“Go back. There’s no place to sleep here. You’ll be tired later.”

“No, I promise 1 won’t fall asleep,” Liuli raised her hand and made a pledge.

In the end, Tang Moxi compromised and allowed Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi to go back and rest. He would come to the hospital tomorrow morning to relieve them.

Tonight, he and Liuli would stay by Grandpa’s side.

Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi left first.

After all, this was not the time to be stubborn.

Tang Moxi and Liuli sat on the chairs outside the 1CU ward, quietly keeping Grandpa company.

“Brother Moxi, do you think Grandpa knows that we’re here with him?” Liuli whispered.

“I know. Grandpa will feel sorry for us and get better soon,” Tang Moxi replied.

It was unclear whether he was comforting Liuli or himself.

“I hope Grandpa knows that we’re here with him, but at the same time, I hope he doesn’t.”

“If he doesn’t know, he won’t worry about us.”

Tang Moxi lowered his head and looked at Liuli without saying a word.

“Brother Moxi, do you think Grandpa will recover?” Liuli couldn’t help but ask.

She felt like a helpless child, seeking reassurance from someone else’s words to strengthen her confidence.

Just as when Tang Moxi said he believed in it, she also believed that Grandpa would definitely get better.

“Grandpa, I care about you so much. I can’t bear to see you, my grandfather-in-law, leave us just a few days after I entered the family,” Tang Moxi replied.

“Yes, I feel the same way. Once Grandpa recovers, I’ll make more delicious red braised pork for him.” Liuli nodded.

“Okay, Grandpa will be very happy to know that!” Tang Moxi replied.

The two of them quietly conversed. The cold night passed, but Grandpa Tang remained unconscious.

Liuli stayed by Tang Moxi’s side and only left briefly to use the restroom.

As time went by, exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she eventually fell asleep leaning against Tang Moxi, who stayed awake and kept watch..
