Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 240 - 234 I Miss You! (26)

"How come Chicheng never mentioned this to me?" Xiang Yiqing looked at Ji Anning in surprise. "Which district is it in?"

Ji Anning replied nonchalantly, "In District A."

She then asked Xiang Yiqing, "Doctor Xiang, what are you doing here?"

After she finished her question, she scanned the white coat Xiang Yiqing was wearing and noticed the logo of this sanatorium. She was a bit surprised but then realized, "So you work at this sanatorium."

Xiang Yiqing smiled and said, "I haven’t been here long. I will return to Hai City after the Spring Festival."

Ji Anning nodded and let out an ’oh’, running out of things to say. She was anxious to hurry to her father’s place, "Then, Doctor Xiang, I’m going to leave first."

"Okay."

Xiang Yiqing nodded. Ji Anning gave him a smile and then turned to enter the large gates of the sanatorium area.

Her petite figure walked farther and farther away, and Xiang Yiqing watched her, unconsciously getting lost in thought.

"Boy, what are you looking at? Who is that girl?"

Suddenly, an old man’s voice rang in his ear, breaking his train of thoughts. He sidelong glanced at the old man standing behind him, who was nosily poking his head closer.

The elderly man had graying hair, looked about seventy years old, and wore the patient outfit of this sanatorium.

Xiang Yiqing frowned and looked at him, "Who do you think she is?"

"Humph." The old man snorted coldly, full of disdain, "Regardless of who she is, she definitely isn’t my future granddaughter-in-law."

Watching his mischievous grandfather, Xiang Yiqing amusingly raised an eyebrow, "Should I congratulate you for getting it right?"

"You like her?" The old man’s face broke into a gossipy smile, certain in his tone.

Xiang Yiqing neither denied nor admitted, mimicking the old man’s snort, "Humph! You’ve only been in the sanatorium for a short while, yet you’ve picked up the same habits as those nurses."

The old man’s eyebrows knitted together, "You dare say I have a problem?"

"Isn’t it?" Xiang Yiqing cast an annoyed glance at his grandfather, "A gossiping problem."

Then he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his white coat and leisurely walked toward the direction Ji Anning had gone.

"Xiang Yiqing, you still haven’t told me, do you like that girl? I might go have a chat with her later."

The old man called out from behind, clearly threatening.

Xiang Yiqing quickly stopped, frowning seriously and reminding his grandfather, "No, she is my friend’s girlfriend. Please don’t meddle."

Then he turned and continued walking forward.

The old man’s voice followed, "My dear grandson, as long as the hoe is swung well, no corner of the wall is undiggable."

Xiang Yiqing: "..."

Although speechless, a fond smile appeared on his handsome face. What kind of elder is this? The old man was becoming more and more playful.

...

"Dad, haven’t I already told you? You need to move around, you can’t lie down all day."

Looking at her father who refused to get out of bed, Ji Anning felt both helpless and heartbroken, trying to persuade him to get up and move around.

"Are you Jiajia?"

Her father’s gaunt eyes looked at her, his pupils gradually brightening.

"Yes." Ji Anning gripped his skeletal hand tightly, nodding vigorously, "I am Jiajia."

"Jiajia, how much money is in your piggy bank now?"

Her father asked with a faint smile. Ji Anning knew that he had forgotten the current date again, forgotten that she had just visited yesterday. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She held back tears and smiled, "A lot more, it’s almost full."
