“No,” Grandma Jian refused. “Yiling promised me to great-grandchildren.”

Jian Yiling already spoke to Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian about this.

She wanted her decision to be understood and supported by Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian.

Grandma Jian had thought this through. After her stroke a while ago, she knew that she did not have many days left.

And thus, she wanted her darling granddaughter to find her own home and begin her own family.

“Mother, how can you betray us like this?”

Grandma Jian’s words could influence Jian Yiling a lot.

“I know I shouldn’t betray you guys. Yiling shouldn’t marry so early. However, you can have an adorable grandchild to cuddle in your arms. Just think about it,” Grandma Jian said. As she said this, she imagined hugging her great-grandson or great-granddaughter.

Wen Nuan quietly said: “But Yiling… Yiling won’t come back often once she gets married…”

“Well, ever since she turned eighteen, she doesn’t come back often. Being married would not change anything,” Grandma Jian said with a sigh.

Even though she did not want to admit this, this was the reality.

Upon hearing these words, Wen Nuan hung her head down.

Jian Shuxing hugged his wife and gently patted her on the back.

Wen Nuan eventually said: “Then… I will look forward to my grandchildren…”

Three men were seated on Jian Yichen’s sofa.

Yu Xi was quite busy. He had to hand Jian Yujie tissues and bicker with Jian Yichen at the same time.

Jian Yujie and Jian Yichen were not in a good mood. They did not want Zhai Yunsheng to propose to Jian Yiling.

“Hey, why don’t you go and fight Brother Yiheng?” Yu Xi suggested.

It wasn’t a good idea for them to sulk like this. They might as well find something to do.

“Fighting with Brother Yiheng isn’t going to solve anything. If we really wanted to fight someone, we should go and fight Zhai Yunsheng,” Jian Yujie grumbled.

“That works as well. Apparently, if you’re in physical pain, you won’t feel emotional pain as much,” Yu Xi said.

“Where did you even learn this from?” Jian Yujie commented. Why was he still joking around? Hadn’t they been teammates for so many years?

“It doesn’t matter where I learned those words from. As long as it’s effective no?” Yu Xi said as he patted Jian Yujie’s shoulder: “Brother Yujie, just accept reality. Sooner or later, your sister will be married to Zhai Yunsheng.”

“But sooner is different to later!”Jian Yichen retorted.

“Okay, okay. I know you’re upset,” Yu Xi comforted. However, in his heart, he was laughing at Jian Yichen.

Zhai Yunsheng was preparing for the marriage proposal.

In the meantime, Jian Yiling planned to take care of some work.

On Saturday, Jian Yiling booked a flight back to Lahaisen Hospital to perform a surgical operation.

Before saying goodbye, Zhai Yunsheng said mysteriously: “I’m waiting for you to come back. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling said as she nodded her head. It was as though she knew the surprise he was preparing.

However, for some reason, her heartbeat accelerated and her face became flushed.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head to plant a kiss on Jian Yiling’s forehead.

“Come back soon. I will miss you.”

“Mhmm…”

After the goodbye, Jian Yiling turned around and boarded the plane.
