Chapter 46 - 46: His Grandson Is Lucky!
Qiao Xinhui worried that Fang Yuan might go hungry, saying, “The food is ready. Help yourself. Yi is also here, so you both should eat together.”
“Absolutely, Yi usually has his meals at the company, and he might not have eaten enough. You two should have lunch together,” Cheng Ye added.
So, the two of them sat in the dining room and shared a meal before leaving for their respective destinations.
On the other side, Old Master Bo kept checking himself in the mirror. “Old Wen, is my hair messy? Have you straightened my clothes?” He was incredibly excited about meeting his granddaughter-in-law.
Butler Wen sounded a little frustrated. “Sir, you’ve been here for half an hour already. People who know you’re meeting your granddaughter-in-law might mistake this for a blind date!”
“Oh, come on!” Old Master Bo put away the mirror and urged, “Go to the entrance and see if they’ve arrived.”
Butler Wen responded, “I told Mu Qing to send me a message before they start. Just as I was saying that, my phone rang.” True to his words, Mu Qing had messaged, informing that they were on their way and would reach the hospital in 10 minutes.
“Quick, hurry to welcome them!” Old Master Bo’s excitement was palpable. He urged Butler Wen, “Why are you still standing there? Go, go!”
Inside the carriage, Fang Yuan was feeling a bit drowsy. The swaying of the carriage led her to slowly close her eyes.
“Master Bo, there’s a…”
Mu Qing was about to say something, but Bo Yi hushed him gently, “Keep quiet.”
Mu Qing glanced at the rear-view mirror and noticed Fang Yuan had drifted off to sleep.
The car gradually came to a halt on the side of the road. Fang Yuan’s head tilted to the side, and Bo Yi delicately held her face. Her skin was soft and smooth, and her long eyelashes resembled tiny brushes. As she slept, she looked incredibly serene and submissive.
Bo Yi’s gaze traced her features, and he approached her slowly, offering his shoulder for her to lean on for a more comfortable sleep.
Mu Qing’s eyes widened. Wasn’t Master Bo known for his cleanliness? It was almost unbelievable to see him actually allowing someone to rest on his shoulder!
Butler Wen, waiting outside the carriage, also witnessed this scene, his mouth agape in shock. He questioned his own eyesight due to age, rubbing his eyes to confirm the reality. Indeed, the young master was letting that girl lean on his shoulder, gazing at her with an unfamiliar tenderness. Who was this girl? Could it be that the young master was falling for her?
After an unknown duration, Fang Yuan woke up, realizing she had dozed off against Bo Yi’s shoulder. They had already reached their destination.
“How long was I asleep?” She asked, checking the carriage’s clock. She then noticed she had slept against him for quite a while. “I’m sorry, why didn’t you wake me?”
“Did you sleep late last night?” Bo Yi’s tone was more concerned than critical. “I wanted you to get proper rest.”
“Now that Miss Fang Yuan is awake, Master Bo, you two can go ahead. I’ll follow after grabbing my things from the trunk,” Mu Qing said, preparing to exit the car and retrieve the belongings.
“No need, I’ve already prepared a welcome gift,” Fang Yuan responded calmly.
Mu Qing was taken aback, exchanging a glance with Bo Yi for guidance. She hadn’t even brought a bag. What gift was Fang Yuan talking about?
Bo Yi, on the other hand, remained composed. “Trust Yuanyuan.”
Exiting the carriage, they walked together toward the hospital. Their striking appearances immediately drew the attention of onlookers.
Inside the ward.
Old Master Bo had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, the bouquet in his hands just shy of wilting. Finally, his eyes caught sight of two figures.
“Grandpa, Yuanyuan and I have come to visit you,” Bo Yi’s voice carried a distinct clarity, yet the old man’s gaze didn’t even flit momentarily to his grandson. His entire attention was riveted on the young lady beside him.
“Little Miss, you’re the one who saved me twice, aren’t you?”
Old Master Bo hadn’t anticipated this girl to be so remarkably beautiful. During his previous encounters, his life had teetered on the brink, affording him no opportunity to properly observe her. He was taken aback by the girl’s stunning looks, as if she exuded an otherworldly charm. His grandson was truly fortunate!
“Hello, Grandpa Bo,” Fang Yuan greeted him respectfully upon entering.
“Silly child, why call me Grandpa Bo? You’re treating me like an outsider. We’re family, so just call me Grandpa,” Old Master Bo expressed his contentment and chuckled. “After all, you’re Yi’s fiancee, so calling me Grandpa is only appropriate.”
Fang Yuan:”…” She and Bo Yi had only met a few times, so they weren’t that well-acquainted.
“I heard from Mu Qing that you’re the daughter of the Cheng Family, left outside and later rescued me incidentally on the day you returned to your family. And yesterday, when I had the soup and was wheeled into the operation room, you pulled me back from the brink of death! Child, you’ve saved me twice now!” The connection was truly serendipitous. Were it not for this young lady, he might have already crossed over to the other side. Never would he have had the chance to meet his future granddaughter-in-law!
“You’ve endured so much during your 18 years living outside..”
