"No...it's delicious."

Hearing the response that sounded like a compromise, Tan Yan's heart was filled with ripples.

Unexpectedly, she was able to give an answer.

I was used to her cold treatment, so when I suddenly saw her like this, I couldn't adapt for a while.

"Well, then you...eat more."

For the first time, Tan Yan felt that he was not good at speaking.

At the negotiating table, he can achieve maximum effect with minimal words.

But whenever he faced Jiang Ximeng, all his abilities became mediocre and he could only grope forward clumsily.

At this moment, Jiang Ximeng's heart was also very uneasy. She wanted to respond to Tan Yan's feelings and grow wildly like weeds, about to squeeze out the fragile city wall.

She bit her lower lip and fought against it for a long time, and finally her shoulders relaxed.

She raised her head and looked at him with timid yet stubborn eyes, "Tan Yan, I..."

"Ring, ring, ring..." The cell phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Ximeng fled to her pocket to look for her cell phone.

Tan Yan's stagnant breathing finally returned to normal.

She...seems to have something important to say.

From her expression, one can tell that it is different from her previous expressions of rejection.

Go with the flow, and still be a little stubborn.

This is what he saw in Jiang Ximeng's eyes.

Tan Yan's heart suddenly became excited.

As long as she could let down her guard, he swore that he would make her the happiest woman in the world.

"what?"

"Grandpa is in xx hospital, we...you...Xiaoxi, did you hear that...beep, beep, beep..."

Jiang Ximeng's body froze and her head was buzzing.

The sound from the other end of the phone became smaller and smaller, and intermittent, until it stopped completely.

"what happened?"

Seeing that she looked strange, Tan Yan immediately turned his gaze to the page on her mobile phone.

The moment the call was disconnected, he saw the name "Jiang Mulin" displayed on it.

Jiang Ximeng felt like the sky was about to fall. She didn't hear clearly what Jiang Mulin said later, but she heard the first part clearly.

…Grandpa is in the hospital.

hum!

……

"Where are the family members?"

"Who are the patient's family members?"

At the door of the emergency room, the nurse's eyes were searching anxiously.

It was not until he saw a dazed girl that he pulled her over and quickly explained the current situation.

"This is the patient's critical illness notice. This surgery is not necessary... If you agree, please sign it."

The name that I have written thousands of times becomes unfamiliar at this moment.

In order to steady her shaking hands, Jiang Ximeng held them down tightly with her other hand.

Once the crooked name was signed, the nurse hurriedly took it away.

The 'In Surgery' light came on... and went off again.

"I'm sorry, we tried our best..."

……

"Xi Meng?"

"Xi Meng?"

The violent shaking of shoulders brought Jiang Ximeng away from the memories of her past life.

The familiar face so close to her made her feel as if she were in another world, and she could hardly tell whether it was reality or memory.

"Jiang Ximeng, don't appear in my sight from now on."

"From today on, you are no longer a secretary, and do not come to Hengyu anymore."

The man's resolute and indifferent words kept echoing in her mind.

Then she called grandpa crying...

Thinking about grandpa's death.

She scratched Tan Yan's sleeve hard and begged, "I was wrong... I shouldn't have cried to Grandpa, I should have just left..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, we'll leave for xx hospital right away."

While Jiang Ximeng was in a daze, Tan Yan called Jiang Mulin to find out what was going on.

But the signal in the mountains was really bad. He could only vaguely hear that Grandpa Jiang was in the ward and the specific location of the ward. Then, just like when Jiang Ximeng answered the call before, the call was automatically hung up.

Jiang Ximeng had a very good relationship with Grandpa Jiang. She panicked when she heard the news, so it was normal for her to be a little incoherent.

So when he heard her overly strange words, Tan Yan didn't take them to heart.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Ximeng was shaking all over.

She could only hug herself tightly to barely control her despair.

"We will be there soon. Don't be afraid. Grandpa Jiang is in good health. He will be fine."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, although she didn't cry, Tan Yan felt that Jiang Ximeng was on the verge of collapse.

Only she had a last bit of hope that managed to keep her steady.

Tan Yan couldn't bear to see her like this, so he stepped on the accelerator hard while ensuring safety, hoping to reach the city as soon as possible.

There is no good space in the commuter bus to load food, so today the company also dispatched several trucks and a commercial vehicle specifically for loading photographic equipment.

Tan Yan drove this business car back to the city.

He drove the three-hour journey into two hours.

"13th floor, ward 502."

When they got on the elevator, Tan Yan was afraid that she was too worried to hear the exact location, so he repeated it again.

Jiang Ximeng was still the same as before, like a body with its soul taken away, completely unconscious, and it was unknown whether she heard clearly or not.

"Ding!"

"Xiao Xi?"

There is an emergency exit next to the elevator, and Jiang Mulin plans to go there to smoke a cigarette.

Just then the elevator door opened and I saw someone inside.

When Jiang Ximeng saw Jiang Mulin, she grabbed his hand as if she had found her backbone.

Tears welled up in my eyes in an instant, "Where's Grandpa... How is Grandpa?"

Jiang Mulin was stunned by her and replied, "In the ward, lying down..."

"grandfather!"

Before Jiang Mulin finished speaking, Jiang Ximeng saw her grandfather approaching.

She didn't have time to think about anything and rushed over directly, "Grandpa..."

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi? Are you wronged?"

As Mr. Jiang spoke, he glanced at Tan Yan not far away.

“Wuwuwu…Grandpa…wuwuwu…”

Jiang Ximeng cried so hard that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

After a long, long time, the crying gradually became quieter.

She carefully examined her grandfather several times and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was intact and able to stand and walk.

The body that had been tense all the way finally relaxed...

"Cherish the dream!"

"Xiaoxi!"

……

"Why isn't Xiaoxi awake yet?"

Old Master Jiang paced back and forth in the ward, extremely anxious.

"Hey, it's all because of you. Next time you come here to get blood pressure medication, can you please let me get a ward to rest if you're not tired?"

Mr. Jiang: "..."

His legs were sore from waiting in line so he came here to lie down for a while, but he never expected to scare his granddaughter like this.

"It's all because you called me!"

If he hadn't called, how could his granddaughter have heard the wrong news and rushed back in such a hurry?

He also fell into a coma due to not eating enough and having low blood sugar.

Jiang Mulin knew he was in the wrong and scratched his nose, "I was just thinking about asking her if she would come back to the old house today... Who would have thought that the signal in the mountains would be so bad..."

The two of them were talking to each other and didn't notice that the person on the bed moved his fingers slightly.

"Awake?" Tan Yan, who had been sitting on a chair beside the bed, was the first to notice.

The man's hoarse voice made Jiang Ximeng feel a little unfamiliar. After thinking for a while, she said to him, "Drink some water."

Then his eyes quickly turned to Mr. Jiang, with indescribable excitement in them, "Grandpa, I'm glad you're okay."
