Seeing this, the wrinkles on grandma's face relaxed, and she smiled from ear to ear and said, "Yes, yes, Chenchen has it too."

Seeing the loving relationship between the young couple, she was happier than anyone else.

What's more, it's not too difficult to weave a bracelet. She was very happy to be able to make something for the younger generation and to be needed by them.

"Grandma agreed."

Huo Yan gently pinched Ruan Xingchen's fingertips, a faint smile on his lips: "Madam, you can't let me refuse, right?"

Ruan Xingchen glared at him.

Just at this moment, Xia Xinyi calmed down and walked in from outside.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Huo Yan with a smile on his lips and gentle black eyes.

My eyes were suddenly stung by this scene.

She had known for a long time that she had no sense of existence in his eyes, and she could not help but feel the pain in her heart when she truly felt his different treatment.

Huo Yan in front of her was cold and noble, so distant that he seemed to be standing in the clouds. He was an existence that she would never be qualified to touch in her entire life.

But in front of Ruan Xingchen, he voluntarily fell into the mortal world, embraced the red dust, was contaminated by the fireworks of the world, and leaned over to become her servant.

Despite convincing herself countless times not to be jealous and truly feeling the difference, Xia Xinyi still couldn't help but feel upset.

She couldn't help but ask herself over and over again what the difference was.

Is it because she is not pretty enough?

Or was it because she showed up too late?

This faint thought always lingered in her mind, tormenting her again and again in her dreams at midnight, making it difficult for her to calm down.

"Sister Xia, why are you standing there?"

Huo Xiaoning, who was watching Sister Chen prepare the ingredients in the kitchen, came out and was a little surprised to see her.

Then she pursed her lips and smiled shyly, a little excited: "When did Sister Xia come over? Come and see the fish we caught with our own hands."

"I, I'll be right there."

Xia Xinyi lowered her head in panic and rubbed her face in embarrassment.

The gazes from Ruan Xingchen and Huo Yan made her feel like a thorn in her back for a moment, and she was afraid that they would notice something was wrong.

She hurriedly changed her shoes, rolled up her sleeves and followed Huo Xiaoning into the kitchen.

Huo Qianqian's surprised greeting came from the kitchen.

Listening to the noise over there, the smile on grandma's lips faded slightly, and then she sighed silently and patted Ruan Xingchen's hand.

I wanted to say something but didn't know how to start, so I stopped talking for a moment.

"What's wrong, grandma?"

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help laughing, and took her arm and said softly, "It's none of grandma's business."

"Xiao Xia is a hard-working and responsible person, so why is she so obsessed with this?"

Grandma frowned, raised her hand to rub her hair, and whispered, "Don't let her come to our house anymore."

"It's not Grandma's fault."

Ruan Xingchen pulled her grandmother's arm and shook it, her sweet voice softening as if she was acting coquettishly: "Grandma, don't be unhappy. I'm the one who's really uncomfortable when you're like this."

It was she who took the initiative to ask Xia Xinyi to come and take care of her grandmother.

No one can predict what others will think or do.

How could grandma take all the problems on herself?

"She is just too greedy."

Huo Yan's voice was also cold, and he said calmly: "No matter what happens in the future, it's all her own fault."

I originally thought that she had let it go last time because she had let it go.

Now it seems……

His eyes also became cold, and he exchanged a tacit glance with Ruan Xingchen, and both remained silent.

The three of them skipped over the topic. Ruan Xingchen took out his cell phone to show his grandmother the photos they took at the farm house, chatting and laughing.

After dinner, Huo Qianqian and others went upstairs to rest, and Huo Yan also returned to the study to work.

Ruan Xingchen and Xia Xinyi accompanied their grandmother for a walk in the garden to help digest the food.

"During this time, the sisters at the foundation have taken good care of me, and I have learned a lot."

When Huo Yan was not around, Xia Xinyi felt much more at ease.

Talking about her life at the foundation, her eyes sparkled, and she cheerfully shared a few embarrassing moments with the two of them: "When I first arrived, I couldn't even make a spreadsheet. My team leader asked me to make a chart out of the data, and I drew it on paper by hand!"

She is really more cheerful and confident now.

The environment has a huge impact on a person. Xia Xinyi used to feel inferior and timid when faced with such things.

Now it can be mentioned in a joking tone.

My grandmother has always been a very kind old woman, and she laughed when she heard this.

"Just get used to it. You're still young, learn more and see more of the world."

With a smile on her face, grandma looked kind and earnest, "Xiao Xia, it's not easy for you to get to this point. You must cherish your current life and be content."

The old lady has always been very soft-hearted and couldn't say more. She couldn't tell her directly to be grateful, for fear that she would feel embarrassed.

I could only look at her earnestly, hoping that she could understand my unfinished advice.

Xia Xinyi is actually not stupid. She is smart and sensitive, and is very good at observing people's words and expressions.

I don’t know if she understood her grandmother’s earnest advice, but her body stiffened and the smile on her face froze.

After a moment, he looked away as if nothing had happened, chuckled and replied, "Oh, I know. Don't worry, old lady."

A look of disappointment flashed across grandma's eyes.

Ruan Xingchen raised her hand to hold her grandmother's arm and squeezed it comfortingly.

"By the way, Ms. Ruan, I noticed that the office on the third floor of the foundation is always locked. Is there anything important in there?"

Xia Xinyi casually brought up the topic again, asking out of curiosity, "When I had nothing to do, I wanted to help clean up, but the team leader stopped me!"

She was a bit embarrassed, her smile seeming to be purely out of curiosity about a field she had never encountered before. "Is it like what they show on TV, where confidential files are stored?"

It seems that the foundation can really train people.

This girl, whose every emotion was written on her face, grew up unexpectedly.

There was no flaw in the expression on his face, except for his eyes, which couldn't help but fall on Ruan Xingchen's face with a bit of nervous anticipation.

What is she trying to find out?

Or rather, what did she want to know?

"Watch less of that nonsense TV series. What kind of confidential files could the Foundation have?"

Ruan Xingchen smiled calmly and said calmly, "That's my office. Some of the foundation's account books are also kept there..."

She stopped talking, smiled again, and added, seemingly superfluously, "It's nothing important. I'm just worried it might get lost or damaged if left out. It's all just boring data, nothing to look at."

Xia Xinyi's eyes flashed.

I always feel that there is a sense of guilt that is only made more obvious by the attempt to hide it.

"Is that so... Then who should I ask for the key to open the door?"

She smiled innocently and pursed her lips as she said, "Since this is Ms. Ruan's office, it should be kept clean. Otherwise, when Ms. Ruan comes to work at the foundation, she'll be surrounded by dust as soon as she walks in. How embarrassing!"
