Spoiled Marriage Seduces People
"You——" Gu Xiangdong glared at him, his hands clenched tightly by his sides.
It seems that the atmosphere in the room is a bit abnormal, and behind me, my grandmother said on the hospital bed: "Xiang Dong, you and Xiao Xiao go back first, it's okay to have Mijia and Chengyue take care of me."
Seeing his grandmother say this, Gu Xiangdong couldn't insist on anything else either. He just nodded and said he would come back to see her tomorrow, then turned around and left the hospital room.
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded at Mi Jia and said a word to her grandmother before following Gu Xiangdong out in big strides.
After Lu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xiangdong left, Mijia somewhat awkwardly withdrew from his arms and returned to the edge of his grandmother's bed, saying: "Grandma, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I'll go call a doctor over to take a look at you."
Grandma shook her head, "Nothing, just a bit tired, no energy."
"Then you have a good sleep." He said, pulling her quilt up for her.
"Grandma nodded, but still remembered the things she saw with Chengyue's parents that night. 'Xiao Jia, have you met Chengyue's parents? Tell Grandma, how was it?'"
Unable to argue with her persistence, Mijia said: "Cheng Papa and Cheng Mama are both very good, Cheng Mama is very gentle and kind."
"Has that family taken a liking to you? Will they... because you don't have a father or mother..."
Grandma didn't finish speaking, when Cheng Yue interrupted and said: "Grandma, my parents are very satisfied with Mijia. I told them about Mijia's situation before, they're not the kind of people who care about family background."
Upon hearing this, Grandma finally put her mind at ease and nodded repeatedly, saying: "This is good, this is good." Although she really wanted to see Mijia get married, if the other party's parents were concerned about their family background or something like that, then even if she liked Chengyuan as a son-in-law, she would never let Mijia marry him and suffer.
"Grandma." Mika reached out and gently brushed away the few strands of hair that were blocking her forehead, saying: "If you're tired, take a rest. Or are you hungry? Otherwise, I'll go downstairs to buy some porridge for you to drink?"
Grandma opened her mouth and indeed there was some unpleasantness around it. "What time is it now? Is there still any outside?"
"I'll go buy some for you," Mijia said, getting up to leave, but was stopped by Chengyue.
"I'll go then." With that, he didn't even wait for Mitya to respond and turned around to leave the hospital room.
After Cheng Yue left, Grandma looked at Mi Jia and said: "This child Cheng Yue is really good."
Mei Jia nodded and responded softly, "Mm-hmm."
"Actually, that kid Dong is not bad either, I can tell he really likes you." She deliberately changed the subject to Xiao Cheng, there were some things she wanted to talk to Mitya about alone.
Meijia wasn't stupid and heard that there was more to Grandma's words than met the eye. "Grandma, what do you want to say?"
Grandma patted her hand, holding it lightly and said: "Actually, Grandma also knows that if you choose to go east, it will be better than going with Cheng. At least you have a friendship foundation with Dong, even if there's no emotional foundation."
"Grandma, I don't have anything with Xiaozhang, I—" Mijia wanted to explain but was interrupted by her grandma.
Grandma shook her head, "Listen to me finish."
Mi Jia closed her mouth and nodded, no longer speaking.
"Actually, I also thought that if you were with Dong Xi, it would be great. I can tell he really likes you, but his family is too complicated. That kind of wealthy family isn't something ordinary people like us can aspire to. Your mother was a good example back then. Those kinds of families always have many rules and requirements. Grandma didn't want you to suffer that kind of humiliation. Besides, how long can liking someone last? Who can guarantee that 'forever' they say will really be forever? After what happened with her daughter, she no longer wants to believe in love or infatuation. She just wants Mijia to live a peaceful and stable life, find an honest man and live a simple life."
"Then she said: 'I can see that Cheng Yue is a good kid, maybe he won't say anything flowery, but he's down-to-earth and reliable. Looking at him makes me feel at ease. If I leave you with him, Grandma will also be at peace. Even if I'm really not around in the future, you don't have to worry about being alone.'"
"Grandma, what are you talking nonsense? How can I not be here? I won't let you talk nonsense." Mitya's eyes were getting red with anxiety, and tears were welling up in his eyes.
Grandma smiled and touched her face with her hand, saying somewhat tiredly: "I'm a bit tired, I'll take a nap first."
Mi Jia nodded, "Mm, I'll stay with you here."
Cheng Yue brought back the white porridge again when his grandmother was already asleep, Mijia gestured to him to tread lightly.
Put the porridge on the cabinet next to it, looked at her grandmother sleeping peacefully on the bed, and lowered her voice to Mijia: "I bought two bowls, you eat some while it's hot."
Meijia looked at the porridge again and then at him, suddenly feeling that he was indeed as his grandmother had said, although he didn't say much, but considerately knew what you needed at any time.
He gestured outward with his hand and said in a low voice, "Let's talk outside."
Cheng Yue nodded and led the way out.
He gently closed the door and stood in the corridor outside the ward, Mika said with a hint of embarrassment: "Thanks for your trouble tonight." In fact, he didn't have to be busy with her until now, their relationship was not necessary at all. Although they were going to get married, after all, they hadn't gotten married yet. Moreover, even if they did get married, it would be more accurate to describe their relationship as business partners rather than a marital one.
"You don't have to be so polite with me, since we're going to get married anyway, your grandmother is naturally my grandmother too. These things are what I should do, except for not being able to stay by your side for a long time, I won't shirk from the duties and responsibilities that I should fulfill."
When she heard this, Mei Jia was at a loss for words for a moment and could only nod slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Of course, if someone had designs on my wife, I wouldn't give him the chance." Cheng Yue looked at her with a very serious expression, without a hint of joking.
Mi Jia was taken aback, her face unconsciously reddening as she realized who he was referring to. She said somewhat unnaturally, "I'm not like that with him."
Cheng Yue smiled lightly and nodded, saying: "I know you don't have anything with him, I just want to tell you that our marriage may be a bit hasty, but marriage is marriage, I will treat it with a serious attitude."
"Oh..." Mika responded softly and nodded.
"Go ahead, the porridge should be cool enough." With that, Cheng Yue turned around and prepared to head back to the sickroom.
As he was about to go in, Mitya suddenly remembered the purpose of calling him out and hastily pulled him back, saying: "You, you'd better go back first, I'll take care of grandma here."
"I'll stay with you, it's better for two people to have each other."
"No need, I can handle it myself. Besides, you have work tomorrow."
"It's okay, I'll just go a bit earlier tomorrow." Cheng Yue was very insistent, he was a responsible person, and since he had prepared to marry this woman, he also made preparations to take on various responsibilities.
"Go ahead."
Seeing him insist like this, Mitya also didn't say anything else, nodded and pushed the door open again.
