After being unconscious for a full day and night, grandma had finally woken up. At the point of her awakening, her consciousness was fading, with her eyes barely able to see anything properly while she wore her respirator.

It was only after three days that grandma gradually got her energy back and was able to behave like a normal person.

And at the same time, it was only then that Shi Guang had dared to reveal her emotions in front of grandma.

Her eyes were reddened and her voice hoarse, acting like a spoilt child looking as though she was about to cry. “Grandma, you’re so bad! You really had me scared to death! You must always take care of yourself from now on and not scare me ever again, alright grandma? Otherwise, I really won’t know what to do anymore! You’re the only one I’ve got, grandma…!”

Before she could even finish with her words, tears started spilling out uncontrollably once more.

However, she bit down on her lips and held back the bawling in her throat. Not wanting grandma to worry, she put on a smile… The way she looked both wanting to smile and cry was absolutely hilarious.

Grandma could not help but smile out faintly as she fondled Shi Guang’s head. “What are you crying for? Look how ugly you look while crying. Hurry and dry those tears.”

Grandma reached out for a tissue, but Shi Guang got there before her and rubbed her nose with it before looking at grandma and pouting her lips. “No matter how ugly I am, I’m your granddaughter. I don’t care, you must never scare me ever again grandma!”

“No, I won’t, no,” Grandma was all smiles. “That’s right, why hasn’t Little Chen come to visit me for the past two days?”

The reason why she was able to hang on and tide through everything was because of her worry for this granddaughter of hers. And, it was exactly because of Qiao Yuwei’s words that she had fallen over as well.

If there was really something wrong with her and Lu Yanchen, given the smarts of her granddaughter, grandma knew that she would be able to tell it with a slight guess.

If she were to die just like that, she would definitely be filled with regret. And perhaps, things would then really be as Shi Guang had said earlier on—that she would not get married with Little Chen anymore.

Therefore, grandma knew that she must not die just like that.

She had to see this granddaughter of hers get married first no matter what, and even get to hug her great-grandchild. It was only then that she would be able to die without regrets and head to the afterworld to meet her daughter and son inlaw 1

Shi Guang froze for a moment, not knowing how to tell grandma the truth. Grandma had just only woken up—Shi Guang did not want to take any risks.

However, if she were to not tell the truth and with Lu Yanchen not coming to visit her in the long term, the cat would be let out of the bag as well. Grandma would definitely still be able to tell that there was something wrong about it.

At that point, she would definitely overthink things once more.

Shi Guang could only use an excuse to delay things. “He’s a little busy these couple of days.”

Right now, she could only seek Lu Yanchen’s help to put on this show with her. At the very least, nothing must happen in grandma’s recovery period.

She had helped him by pretending to be his girlfriend earlier on. Now that she needed help with him pretending to be her boyfriend, he wouldn’t refuse it now, would he?

Lu Yanchen was asleep when he found himself being awoken by a soft sound. He checked the time—it was only around 7.

Shutting his eyes, he wanted to sleep for a little more. However, his sharp hearing had him realizing that the sound was coming from the kitchen downstairs.

Waking up, he walked down to the kitchen. From far in the distance, he caught sight of a figure busy at work.

Shi Guang had just fried an egg. Just as she was about to serve it out at the dining table, she caught sight of Lu Yanchen leaning against the door with his arms crossed.

He asked her coldly, “What are you doing here?”

The sudden appearance of this man had Shi Guang skipping a little in shock. A trace of uneasiness flashed by her eyes as she pursed her lips a little before putting on a pandering expression on her face. “Err… I’m here to make you breakfast…!”

With that said, she raised the plate on her hand. “It’ll be ready soon! You can eat the moment you wash up!”

Lu Yanchen looked at her coldly for a good two seconds before turning around and heading up without saying anything more. Holding the plate and looking at his back view, Shi Guang called out chirpily, “Hurry and come down, alright? Hehe!”
