While stroking Su Nianxi's tender and delicate little hands, Mrs. Lu still complained reluctantly in her heart.

"stop--"

Suddenly, Madam Lu shouted "Stop" again.

"..."

"What's going on? Stop again!"

Su Nianxi's heart skipped a beat and she instantly lost her composure, wondering what she was going to say this time.

"Xiaoxi, don't move. Wait, grandma will be back soon."

"Remember, don't leave the bedroom, don't leave——"

Old Madam Lu, with her orchid finger already in hand, pointed at Su Nianxi and coaxed her like a three-year-old child, while quickly heading towards the first floor.

"Grandma, please, please slow down. Xiaoxi will listen to you and will stay in the bedroom waiting for you. She won't go out. Slow down—"

Seeing that Madam Lu was already very old, with an anxious look and fast pace, Su Nianxi said anxiously.

"Okay, okay, hehe——"

……

"Strange, something bad happened at home, but why is grandma..."

"Ha, she seems quite cheerful. Is it the confidence that comes from a 'sincere heart'? Or is grandma just a creature with a small heart who can't contain worries and troubles?"

Su Nianxi had a silly look on her face early in the morning, leaning against the door frame in a daze, muttering to herself, with a look of confusion on her face.

A moment later, Aunt Tian arrived, carrying a basin of hot water, followed by Old Madam Lu. Smiling, Aunt Tian entered Su Nianxi's bedroom, approached her, and carefully began to remove her makeup (using clean water to wipe her face). Su Nianxi closed her eyes, feeling Aunt Tian's gentle movements.

"Fortunately, I quickly wiped myself all over with makeup remover when grandma went downstairs." Su Nianxi muttered in her heart with relief when she saw that Mrs. Lu and Aunt Tian were going to help her remove her makeup.

[She doesn't act like a capitalist lady. Madam Lu and Aunt Tian really love Su Nianxi, and they're reluctant to let her do it herself.]

Not long after, Aunt Tian said kindly, "Okay, Xiaoxi, you can open your eyes now."

Su Nianxi slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face, once pockmarked with pockmarks, had returned to its natural, newborn-like complexion. It was flawless, its delicate complexion breathtaking. Her complexion, nourished by the spiritual spring water, had become even and radiant, revealing a glow of health and vitality.

"You're truly a beauty! She looks so stunning even after just washing her face. Xiaoxi, show yourself like this from now on and stop wearing that pockmarked makeup."

Mrs. Lu watched from the side and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She took Su Nianxi's hand and said softly.

"Strange, what happened today???"

"These two old men sometimes join forces, using all four of their hands to make me look ugly; sometimes they ask me to show my true colors."

"Boy, weren't they the ones who pockmarked me in the first place???"

"From now on, I have to show my true face!!!"

Su Nianxi nodded obediently, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart, and she complained in her heart with great confusion.

"Oh--"

"Okay, grandma."

Su Nianxi was very confused, but she didn't ask any more questions and just responded obediently.

Su Nianxi, a female medical doctor who traveled through time from the 21st century, doesn't like to ask too many questions.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk…”

“Hehehe, hehe…”

Aunt Tian was at a loss for words and could only circle around Su Nianxi again and again, making "tsk" and "huh" sounds over and over again to express Su Nianxi's unique beauty.

"Auntie, can you please stop circling around me? It's not like I've never been like this before, so why do you still want to circle around me???"

"It's spinning so fast I feel like vomiting—"

Early in the morning, Su Nianxi, who was being circled around by Aunt Tian, ​​felt as if stars were swirling around her head, making her feel dizzy.

"Ha ha--"

"It's unbridled beauty, yet delicate and unobtrusive. How beautiful! How beautiful! From now on, the king won't hold court early in the morning—"

Hush, I only dare to hum softly in my own room. Times have changed, and Madam Lu is very careful.

[Oh, Madam Lu is no doubt the former Minister of Foreign Affairs. She has a lot of calligraphy and is very elegant.]

"Huh, I don't know whether the king will come to court early or not."

"I just know that if Auntie Tian keeps spinning, I'm really going to vomit—"

"Also, Auntie, are you going to give up until you turn me around?"

Su Nianxi muttered to herself in her heart, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Su Nianxi, with a worried look on her face, was dragged around in circles by Aunt Tian. She looked like she had lost all hope in life, which made Mrs. Lu laugh.

"Okay, okay, Aunt Tian, ​​if you turn again, Xiaoxi will probably get dizzy and won't be able to go downstairs."

"You have the physique of a former soldier, so you shouldn't feel dizzy from spinning around. Xiaoxi, you can't handle it, hehe—"

"I've gone downstairs. Breakfast is still warming in the pot."

Mrs. Lu stepped forward and embraced Su Nianxi, who was as pretty as a flower and had skin as white as cream, and said with heartache.

"Hee hee hee--"

"Look at me, an old woman. I've forgotten and am confused again."

Aunt Tian stopped reluctantly and said awkwardly with a laugh.

***

Next to the wooden coffee table in the first-floor living room, one was old, the other was young. Old Master Lu had lost his earlier affability, his expression as stern as steel, a seriousness so intense it seemed as if water could be wrung out of him. Opposite him, Lu Chenting sat solemnly, his expression as cold and stern as ever, like ice that hadn't melted for a thousand years—no, ten thousand years.

Mr. Lu: "Xiao Ting, after the last mission, did you return to the army?"

Lu Chenting: “Yeah.”

Mr. Lu: "Your Division Commander Liu (Liu Qifeng), Deputy Division Commander Chen (Chen Zhilong), and Political Commissar Jiang (Jiang Daye) should have told you about your personal problems."

Mr. Lu: "Home..."

Lu Chenting: "Grandpa..."

Mr. Lu said, "You little bastard, I haven't even finished what I'm saying yet. Why are you so anxious? Let me finish what I'm saying first."

Just after the warm-up, before getting into the main topic, they were interrupted by the piece of ice that had not melted for a thousand years opposite. Old Master Lu frowned and glared, and shouted.

Lu Chenting: “…”

Lu Chenting: "As for???"

Lu Chenting, who was as cold as ice, remained calm and listened to the lecture calmly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

"hiss--"

"I'm worried, I'm worried. Chen Ting just opened his mouth and it should be about the military organization. I'm confused."

"Well, he should finish speaking to the organization first."

The energetic Mr. Lu frowned and pondered secretly.

Well, when Grandpa Lu saw Lu Chenting's unruly, cold and indifferent look, he felt sorry for his beloved grandson's wife Su Nianxi. How could such a delicate flower, such a good girl, end up with this piece of ice?
