Xie Limo said something to Yun Bixue, but she didn’t answer him. He turned to her and found her in a daze while holding some vegetables in her hands. He followed her line of sight but didn’t find anything unusual. Curious, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Yun Bixue snapped out of her daze and answered, “I just saw Meng Xinyan. She was with a man, and they looked very intimate. I thought he looked familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve met him.”
Xie Limo didn’t reply and began to ponder after hearing Yun Bixue’s words.
“Limo, I think something’s wrong. This may be nothing, but I just feel that Meng Xinyan is acting weird.”
Xie Limo took the vegetables in her hands and allowed the supermarket’s staff to weigh and label them. Seeing Yun Bixue still in deep thought, he caressed her head and said, “Stop worrying over it, okay? Look at you. Your face is all scrunched up.”Yun Bixue sighed. “Limo, I really don’t understand. Even a monster wouldn’t hurt its own children. As a mother, how could she be so evil? Is Yangyang not her beloved child? She was having a ball of a time with another man.”
Xie Limo pushed the cart while holding Yun Bixue’s hand. “Everyone has the right to choose the way they want to live their lives. Besides, everyone has different values in life. Let’s stop caring about other people, alright? Just think about visiting Grandfather later. Don’t you feel happy at the thought of seeing him again?”
Yun Bixue hooked her arm around Xie Limo’s and said, “Limo, I realized you’re really great at comforting people. Sometimes, only a few words from you can brighten up my mood.”
“That’s because you trust me. If someone else were to tell you those words, would you still feel better?”
Yun Bixue shook her head. He was right. It was only because it was him, and the fact that she loved to listen to his words.
After selecting some vegetables, they added several cooked food and checked out before driving to Old Master Yun’s house.
When Old Master Yun heard the sounds of the car, he walked outside while supporting himself with a walking cane. With a radiant smile on his face, he looked at them in anticipation.After alighting from the car, Yun Bixue ran to Old Master Yun and hugged his arm. “Grandfather, I missed you, so I came to see you.”
“Yes, yes. I missed you too.”
Yun Bixue shooked Old Master Yun’s arm and said, “You say that you miss me, but you’re looking at Limo.”
Old Master Yun chuckled. “Is my granddaughter jealous? Limo is great, but you’re better. He’s your pillar of support, isn’t he?”
Yun Bixue looked at Xie Limo as he alighted from the car. Warmth welled up in her clear eyes, and she nodded. “Yes, Grandfather, he is.”
“You’re always the more sensible than your younger sister. Your parents passed away when you were too young, and the Yun family was too messy back then. You’ve been affected by all these and probably didn’t know how a married couple should behave. When a couple is together, the woman ought to care for the man. It’s a blessing to you if he’s healthy.” Old Master Yun said all these in a sincere voice.
Yun Bixue listened attentively to her grandfather’s words and replied, “I understand, Grandfather!”
“That’s great to hear then.”
Yun Bixue knew that Grandfather was right. A married couple should care for and love each other. Xie Limo was wonderful—she had someone by her side to care for her. She didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen if something bad were to happen to him. After going through so much, she finally had a family. That was why she must protect it at all costs.
When Old Master Yun saw that Xie Limo carried a load of items, he chastised Yun Bixue. “You said you understood, so why are you not helping him carry those things?”
Yun Bixue hurriedly took over the things from Xie Limo’s hands. Xie Limo chuckled softly and said, “Don’t worry, they’re not that heavy. You keep Grandfather company, alright? I’ll cook in the kitchen.”
