"Hua, have you eaten dinner yet?" Lin Xuan asked.
Su Hua's expression stiffened slightly.
She hadn't listened to A-Xuan this time and hadn't eaten on time...
Su Hua wanted to nod and lie to Lin Xuan, saying she had.
Grandpa Su beat her to the punch. "Not yet. Hua'er has been busy with work the whole time."
Lin Xuan also noticed the laptop placed next to Su Hua.
Frowning deeply, he said, "Hua, didn't I tell you? You need to rest and recuperate properly during this period."
Su Hua pursed her lips.
Grandpa Su looked at his granddaughter's face in amazement.
His granddaughter actually wore an expression of nervous guilt, like she had done something wrong.
How rare.
Truly, too rare.
"Hua, did you take a nap today?" Lin Xuan asked again.
Su Hua was about to answer when Lin Xuan added sternly, "You must tell the truth. If Hua lies, I will call the company to verify."
Su Hua could only shake her head and answer truthfully, "No."
Lin Xuan frowned. "Hua, you're being disobedient again."
"I didn't take a nap because I had too much work today and was too busy." Su Hua's voice was very quiet, making her sound extremely guilty and lacking confidence.
Grandpa Su's face was still filled with the same astonishment as before.
His precious granddaughter was actually acting like a timid quail today.
Back when Hua'er was still a work machine, no matter how much he tried to persuade her not to bury herself in work all day, she had never listened.
Xiao Xuan was the only one who could handle her.
Lin Xuan's brows remained tightly knitted. "Hua, no matter how busy work gets, you have to take good care of your health. Don't you want to stay by my side and grow old together?"
"Or do you want to die early and leave me all alone? If that happens, I'll date another woman, get married..." and have children.
Before Lin Xuan could finish, Su Hua reached out and covered his mouth, stopping him from saying another word.
"Stop talking." Su Hua pursed her lips. "I will eat properly and rest on time from now on."
A-Xuan being with another woman...
Just the thought of it drove her to the brink of madness.
"Since that's the case, let's eat now, hmm?" Lin Xuan coaxed Su Hua in a low voice.
"Okay."
Su Hua nodded.
Lin Xuan took Su Hua's hand and led her into the dining room.
Grandpa Su looked at their retreating backs with satisfaction.
The old butler couldn't help but sigh emotionally, "Master, the young son-in-law is truly incredible. I have never seen the young miss so obedient."
It was simply unimaginable.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and someone had told him that the young miss listened so well to a man, he would have thought they were crazy.
Grandpa Su wore a look of pride. "This is my future grandson-in-law. How could he not be incredible?"
"No."
Grandpa Su then shook his head. "Hua'er and Xiao Xuan must be locked together forever!"
Those other old geezers shouldn't even dream of stealing his grandson-in-law.
"Old Chen," Grandpa Su said. "Go. Go find something for those old geezers to do."
He couldn't let them have too much free time.
Once they had free time, they would start coveting his precious grandson-in-law.
"Understood," the old butler nodded.
"Achoo."
"Achoo."
Grandpa Han sneezed several times in a row.
"Old Han, did you catch a cold?" Grandpa Chen asked.
Grandpa Han shook his head. "I'm fine. My nose just got inexplicably itchy. I don't feel unwell anywhere else."
"Achoo!" Grandpa Chen also sneezed.
Grandpa Han asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
Grandpa Chen rubbed his nose and replied, "I didn't. I'm guessing someone is cursing me behind my back."
Grandpa Han nodded. "I think so too. It must be Old Man Su cursing us."
Speaking of Grandpa Su, Grandpa Han's face was filled with envy and jealousy.
"How come Old Man Su gets all the good things in the world?"
"First, he has an incredibly capable granddaughter, and now he gets a handsome, devoted grandson-in-law who is a genius in every aspect."
Damn it!
Old Man Su was simply a winner in life.
If his own grandson-in-law could be even half as good as Lin Xuan—no! If his granddaughter could just start dating, he would be completely satisfied.
"Sigh, that's just fate."
Grandpa Chen sighed. "Who would have thought that someone as cold and aloof as Su Hua, who only cared about work, would fall in love so quickly? Looking at how affectionate they are as a couple, I'm afraid it won't be long before they get married and have kids."
"And what about our sons and daughters? They don't even have proper partners."
It was worrying him to death.
To think he used to frequently mock Old Man Su's granddaughter, saying she would die alone.
In the end, he was the clown all along.
The Su family's old residence.
Grandpa Su also entered the dining room to have dinner.
Lin Xuan used his chopsticks to place a lot of food into Su Hua's bowl.
"Hua, eat a bit more. Once you're done, it'll be about time for you to go rest," Lin Xuan said.
"Mhm."
Knowing she was in the wrong because of what happened today, Su Hua could only eat obediently.
She ate however much Lin Xuan put in her bowl.
Grandpa Su watched Su Hua with a face full of smiles.
Xiao Xuan was indeed the only one who could keep Hua'er in check.
Lin Xuan fed Su Hua about two bowls' worth of food, and Su Hua obediently ate it all.
After dinner.
The two of them sat on the sofa watching TV.
Grandpa Su said, "Xiao Xuan, Hua'er, it's getting late. Why don't you two rest here at the old residence tonight?"
Lin Xuan glanced at the time and nodded. "That works."
Since Lin Xuan was willing to stay, Su Hua naturally had no objections.
She still couldn't do anything intimate with her A-Xuan right now. As long as A-Xuan was with her, resting anywhere was the same.
Su Hua leaned against Lin Xuan's shoulder to watch TV. Perhaps because she had woken up too early that morning, combined with the fact that she hadn't rested at noon, a strong wave of drowsiness washed over her before long.
Su Hua closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hua'er, you and..." Just as Grandpa Su started speaking to Su Hua, Lin Xuan placed a finger over his lips, making a shushing gesture.
Grandpa Su's face lit up with joy.
Hua'er had fallen asleep just like that?
Hadn't it been said that Hua'er suffered from constant insomnia?
She had seen many psychologists before, but none of it worked. She had to rely on a hypnotist to put her to sleep.
After a while.
Lin Xuan carried Su Hua back to her room. As soon as he came out, Grandpa Su couldn't help but pull him aside and ask, "Xiao Xuan, has Hua'er not been suffering from insomnia lately?"
"No," Lin Xuan said, shaking his head. "Hua has been sleeping quite well. Why?"
Grandpa Su looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes shining brightly.
It was definitely because Xiao Xuan was by her side that Hua'er no longer suffered from insomnia.
