When Pei Zigui went in, the two women had obviously changed the topic and were chatting enthusiastically about He Xiu.

"Really, grandma, that front is so beautiful! I will bring it to you next time. I'm sure you will like it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your He embroidered shirt."

"Uh-huh!"

Pei Zigui did not say anything, but sat down and took Jiang Ruoli's hand. He unwrapped the cotton swab, pressed one end, and turned it back, and the iodine would slowly penetrate to the other end.

He disinfected Jiang Ruoli's palm carefully, fearing to hurt the delicate girl. There was no blood on the broken skin, only a small blood scab the size of a grain of rice, surrounded by a small pink patch.

Feeling a burst of warmth in the palm of his hand, Jiang Ruoli subconsciously retracted his arm, turned his head and saw a Band-Aid on the palm of his hand.

Pei Zigui lowered his head and gently stroked her palm with his lips.

Although this action could not be called private, it was very intimate. Thinking that his grandmother was still sitting there, Jiang Ruoli's cheeks flushed and he lowered his voice: "What are you doing?"

The other hand hidden under the table pinched the man's waist hard.

It means that there are still elders around.

Pei Zigui seemed to be unaware of it. He held her wrist and rubbed it against his face, then put it back to his lips. After doing this, he let her go with a smile.

"It's okay, grandma is not a stranger."

The grandmother covered her mouth and laughed. It was the first time for her to see her grandson express his emotions so openly. In addition to surprise, there was more admiration and gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Ruoli.

"Li Li, you may not be full yet. Zigui, stay with me for a while. Aunt Wang has prepared some snacks. I am full now, so I will go out for a walk."

She didn't bother the young couple.

Pei Zigui served Jiang Ruoli a bowl of bamboo shoots and seafood rice, nodded and smiled at his grandmother, "Grandpa Xue just called and said he wanted to see you, and he's on his way."

Grandma paused for a moment and sighed, as if she was a little helpless: "You have nothing to do and come to my place to stare blankly again."

The old lady said this, but her steps were quicker. "Auntie Wang, bring out the tea leaves that Old Xue left here last time."

Jiang Ruoli lowered his head to blow the hot steam from the seafood rice porridge, blinked curiously, and asked, "Is it Grandpa Xue from the Chinese Medicine Clinic?"

Seeing Pei Zigui nod, she couldn't help but think of the relationship between the two old men that Pei Zigui had mentioned before.

"Grandpa Xue is so affectionate. I don't know what grandma is thinking. Actually, I think it's not a bad thing for them to be together."

Pei Zigui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Grandma can't let go of Grandpa, nor can she let go of the moral precepts in her heart."

"Oh..." Jiang Ruoli sighed. How could the complex emotions in the world be so easily explained?

The emotional entanglements between people are sometimes not simply about love or not love, there are too many complicated things involved.

In real life, there are still many people who only care about simple yes or no and satisfying the lowest level of lust. Some people can cheat on their wives when they are pregnant just to vent, and some people can do three things for money just for vanity. There are many people like this.

In this impetuous and noisy society, being simple and faithful has become a luxury.

Impurity is sometimes a symbol of a low level of spiritual attainment.

In the human society where the material world is progressing madly, it seems that the importance of the spiritual world has been forgotten. Many people live like zombies, having lost something that took higher animals tens of thousands of years to evolve - the soul.

Jiang Ruoli and Pei Zigui did not stay at their grandmother's house for too long. Pei Zigui had a meeting in the afternoon, so he took Jiang Ruoli away early.

Before leaving, Jiang Ruoli saw Grandpa Xue sitting in the hall enjoying the pot of Pu'er tea alone. His sight fell on the figure who was pruning the branches in the yard.

————**————**————**

After returning to Jiangcheng, Pei Zigui took Jiang Ruoli directly to the company.

"I'm going to a meeting. If you have anything, tell Assistant Mote or Vivian. I'll take you to dinner later."

Jiang Ruoli had eaten too much at noon and felt sleepy in the car on the way here. Pei Zigui carried him directly from the car. He didn't want to sleep now, but he was half asleep and half awake and still a little grumpy.

She turned her head and buried herself in the back of the sofa. Her legs under her skirt bounced twice, and she kicked the man's suit pants mercilessly, leaving two shoe prints.

Pei Zigui patted his trouser legs nonchalantly, bent down and kissed Jiang Ruoli on the forehead, his voice gentle and tender: "Be good, sleep a little longer."

The door of the president's office was gently closed, and a man's voice could be vaguely heard whispering, "Go buy her a small cake and prepare some hot chocolate later."

After the man left, Jiang Ruoli didn't want to sleep anymore. He lay on the sofa and played with his phone out of boredom.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, Xie Youran and Xu Mengan actually made new progress.

Xu Mengan posted a screenshot in the group, which showed the chat history between Xie Youran and him.

Xie Youran: "Are you there?"

Xu Mengan: "I'm busy making money for Mr. Xie. If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't waste your time."

Since arriving at the hospital, Xu Mengan and Xie Youran have become more familiar with each other, and their conversations are less falsely polite than before.

Xie Youran: "I like you."

After 10 minutes, no response.

Xie Youran: "What's going on?"

Another five minutes passed.

Xie Youran: "My account has been hacked."

Another three minutes passed.

Xie Youran: "This account was sold two days ago. Please delete each other. Thank you."

Finally, half an hour later, Xu Mengan made a move.

Love to sleep: "I was in a meeting just now." (Followed by a red exclamation mark.)

After seeing this picture, Jiang Ruoli suddenly came to his senses.
