“I’m telling you again to shut up! Your mom is mine. Don’t try to break us up or let anyone come between us.”

Qie Wang walked away in a huff after warning Qie Yiyang.

Qie Yiyan could not help but snort.

How could his father believe that someone would always be waiting for him? Why did he learn to treasure his wife only after he had lost her?

“Mom, Tianxin.”

Qie Yiyan walked into the hospital room. When he saw his mom calmly painting, he believed that his father was not worthy of her.

“Yiyan, you don’t have to come if you’re busy. I’m fine.”

Qie Yiyan did not bother to explain. He sat on the chair beside Yan Shanyue. “Tianxin, I heard that Grandma Li doesn’t like you?”

Ye Tianxin smiled. “Yeah, I wonder why she doesn’t like me. How can anyone not like a pretty and adorable girl like me?”

“Grandma Li is a fool. If not for Old Mrs. Xie, she would have been divorced years ago. How can she not like you?”

Yan Shanyue felt awful for Ye Tianxin, especially when she saw how the girl was still optimistic enough to not be bothered by Grandma Li’s behavior.

Ye Tianxin was a pleasant girl from a good background. She was always a polite and kind-hearted lady who excelled at whatever she did. Grandma Li should be thanking God for such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law instead of picking on her.

“It’s fine. I don’t care about what anyone else thinks as long as Qingcang likes me. Anyway, I don’t want to appear too petty in front of Grandma Li by quibbling with her.” Ye Tianxin shrugged.

Yan Shanyue decided that she should talk to Grandma Li and knock some sense into her once she had a chance.

“That’s true. What matters most is what Qingcang thinks. Tianxin, you don’t have to come after today. I’ll show you the finished artwork when it’s done.”

Ye Tianxin grinned. “All right, I’ll buy the painting when it’s done.”

Qie Yiyan immediately stopped her. “No. I’ll buy and give it to you. as a present.”

“Aren’t you afraid Qingcang will be jealous if you buy the painting for me?”

Yan Shanyue then turned to Ye Tianxin and said, “When the time comes, let Qingcang buy it.”

“Buy what?”

Suddenly. Li Qingcang walked into the room. The three of them laughed as though they were sharing a private joke.

Yan Shanyue smiled at him. “Buy a painting.”

“Okay, I’ll buy it of course.”

Li Qingcang did not know what they were talking about, but if Ye Tianxin wanted to buy something, he would buy it for her.

“Qingcang, if you’re busy, you don’t have to send Tianxin to Lang Garden. Yiyan can do it.”

Li Qingcang looked at Ye Tianxin. “I’m here to bring Tianxin home for dinner. My mom made plenty of food today.”

“All right, we’ll discuss it along the way.”

Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang said goodbye to Yan Shanyue and Qie Yiyan and left the hospital.

Ye Tianxin turned to Li Qingcang and explained to him, “Qingcang, I already promised Grandma that I’d go home for dinner today.”

“We can have dinner either at home or at Lang Garden. You choose.”

Ye Tianxin sensed that something was not right when she heard those words. “Qingcang, is Grandma Li scheming again?”

“Tianxin, how did you know?”

Li Qingcang smiled at her, his eyes full of affection for Ye Tianxin.

“Let’s go home and keep your mom accompany then. She’ll feel lonely without you around.”
