An Nuan lowered her eyes, her face full of embarrassment.
She kept thinking about what she had just done, why she had said those things.
An Nuan lowered her head, saying nothing.
Seeing that An Nuan was starting to have second thoughts, Nan Gongjin immediately said, "You suggested this, so let's go together."
An Nuan said nothing, and Nan Gongjin drove to the mall.
While buying groceries, Nan Gongjin kept asking An Nuan what she liked to eat and about her preferences.
Back at Nan Gongjin's house.
When An Nuan saw the items they had bought, she suddenly felt a bit shy. Because, everything they bought were things she liked.
An Nuan looked at the items scattered around and was about to help tidy up when Nan Gongjin came out, squatted down, and carried the items and ingredients inside. Seeing her still standing there, Nan Gongjin walked over, gently flicked her nose, and said dotingly, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"No," An Nuan shook her head, her voice filled with apology. "You've taken such good care of me, I..."
"I don't know what to say for a moment."
"And most importantly, I suddenly feel like I'm useless."
"It feels awkward to just watch you do everything while I do nothing."
Nan Gongjin, who had been worried, now had a smile on his face.
So, An Nuan had been unhappy because of this. Then he wasn't so worried anymore.
Nan Gongjin looked at An Nuan and said earnestly, "An Nuan, you don't need to feel guilty or uneasy. These are things you deserve to enjoy."
"An Nuan, do you know? Everything I do for you is worth it."
"Moreover, I am willing to dote on you, and I don't want you to suffer."
Finally, under Nan Gongjin's persuasion, An Nuan could only obediently listen and sit quietly. She just watched Nan Gongjin cook for her.
An Nuan felt like she was the happiest person in the world at that moment.
In her past life, she must have done something good to have met such a good person.
Soon, Nan Gongjin had finished cooking the dishes that Feng Ran loved.
It was such a warm scene that no one could bear to disturb it.
However, the door was pushed open from the outside at that moment.
Nan Gongjin was about to get angry, wanting to see who was so reckless as to appear at such an important moment.
But when he saw his own grandfather, all of Nan Gongjin's anger instantly disappeared.
It wasn't that he was cowardly, it was just that he didn't dare to offend the person in front of him.
"Hello, Grandpa Nan Gong," An Nuan greeted him earnestly.
At this moment, she just wanted to leave. Honestly, if she had known Grandpa Nan Gong would appear, she wouldn't have come here. It was truly an embarrassing situation.
"Grandpa, I just remembered, I have something to attend to, I..."
Grandpa Nan Gong saw this and put on a look of feigned guilt, saying, "Leaving now? Is it because my appearance has disturbed you?"
An Nuan was stunned. No, she didn't mean that.
"Grandpa Nan Gong, it's not like that. I didn't mean that, I was, I just..."
Meeting Grandpa Nan Gong's angry gaze, An Nuan was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say. Most importantly, Grandpa Nan Gong's eyes were full of ambiguity, and at this moment, she really didn't know what to say.
She cast a pleading look at Nan Gongjin, believing that asking him for help now would be best. Only he could handle this situation.
"Grandpa," Nan Gongjin's voice carried a hint of helplessness. He really didn't understand why his grandfather had suddenly appeared. If he had known, he wouldn't have brought An Nuan here.
"You continue. I just came back to get something and will leave once I have it."
Grandpa Nan Gong said as he walked towards the exit. However, he had said he was coming back to get something, but he left without taking anything.
An Nuan's face turned red. Grandpa Nan Gong's intentions were too obvious.
"Nan Gongjin..."
"An Nuan, I really didn't know Grandpa would come back suddenly."
"Normally, Grandpa doesn't come back. I don't know why he appeared today. I was also very surprised."
"Nan Gongjin, would it be too impolite to just let Grandpa leave like this? Should I escort him out?" An Nuan said softly.
Nan Gongjin chuckled, reached out, and ruffled her hair, smiling as he said, "Yes, you're thoughtful. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have thought of that."
An Nuan: "..."
As An Nuan hesitated, Nan Gongjin directly took her hand and walked outside.
However, upon going out and hearing what Grandpa Nan Gong said, An Nuan even regretted it.
She regretted why she had come out.
"You said no one was home, so I, this old man, came back."
"Uncle Lin, look, I came back and happened to meet my future granddaughter-in-law. Wasn't I just ruining things?"
"Uncle Lin, you can't do this next time."
Uncle Lin said with a helpless expression, "Old Master, I really didn't know. If I had known, I would never have let you come."
"Uncle Lin, if I hadn't appeared just now, would I have been able to hug my great-grandchild?"
"Oh dear, you say, why did I think of coming back today."
"My great-grandchild, just a little bit more."
Old Master Nan Gong's face was full of melancholy, as if his appearance had ruined something.
"Yes, yes, next time, I will definitely pay attention."
"Next time, I will absolutely not make such a mistake again."
Uncle Lin kept assuring him.
Old Master Nan Gong sighed helplessly.
An Nuan, who had been hurried out, was stunned when she heard these conversations. In the end, she was speechless.
If she had known she would hear such things by coming out, she would never have done so, even if beaten to death.
She sighed helplessly. Things were like this, what else could she say?
Just as she was thinking about how to face Nan Gongjin, she heard Nan Gongjin's laughter.
An Nuan: "..." She lowered her head, but remained silent.
She really didn't know what to say.
Nan Gongjin, however, whispered in her ear, "An Nuan, do you think Grandpa is right?"
An Nuan's face instantly turned red, and she remained silent for a long time.
Nan Gongjin also withdrew his smile, looked at An Nuan, and said with a hint of apology in his voice, "I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose, I just... just..."
"An Nuan, please don't be angry, okay?" Nan Gongjin's voice sounded unusually submissive.
An Nuan looked at him, not knowing what to say.
"Nan Gongjin, you've actually done very well. You don't need to apologize to me," An Nuan said firmly.
