Fang Yuan’s slender fingers tapped on the screen as she asked with a puzzled expression, [Grandpa?]
[Darling Yuanyuan, it’s me. 1 had to coax Yi for your WeChat ID, but that stubborn brat refused to give it to me at first!] Old Master Bo sent a paragraph of text.
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and inquired with concern, [Flow is your health today?]
“[Much better!]” After sending this message, Old Master Bo quickly added an aggrieved emoji and continued, [Isn’t today a good day? No one came to visit me. I’m terribly lonely! Yuanyuan, when are you coming to pick me up from the hospital?]
Fang Yuan found it amusing and replied, [Tomorrow].
[Alright, alright! What time will you come tomorrow?] Old Master Bo eagerly awaited her response, but it didn’t arrive.
Meanwhile, Bo Yi’s car was already waiting outside the company.
As Fang Yuan boarded the car, Bo Yi pulled her into his embrace and asked, “Who sent you that message? I noticed you were smiling when you left the company earlier. Who could make you smile so genuinely?”
“Didn’t you give my WeChat to Grandpa?” Fang Yuan replied with raised eyebrows.
“My grandpa called me more than forty times today,” Bo Yi said, exasperated. “He’s quite the talker. You don’t have to pay him much attention when you’re busy.”
Fang Yuan chuckled. Is this something her own grandson would say?
[Yuanyuan, are you still at work?]
[I heard you started working at the company. Is it because you need more pocket money, or are you trying to experience life?]
[If you need more money, just let me know. Add as many zeros as you want after that 1, and I’ll transfer it to you right away!] Bo Yi found it amusing how his usually authoritative and stern grandfather was suddenly using such a friendly tone. “Grandpa sent you a WeChat message. I recently learned how to type on my cell phone.” This change was exceptionally significant!
Fang Yuan glanced at her seat and replied nonchalantly, [No need. I’m just taking it easy and enjoying life. The summer vacation is quite long, so I’m simply passing the time.]
[If you’re looking to pass the time, you could come and spend time with me! I can take you on a world tour! Or if you prefer to stay in Jing City, there are plenty of scenic spots here. 1 can take you to explore them!]” Old Master Bo suggested enthusiastically.
Just as Fang Yuan was about to respond, Bo Yi playfully took her phone from her, holding the screen with a mischievous grin. [Grandpa, you’re interrupting our quality time together.]
Upon hearing that his grandson was spending time with his granddaughter-in-law, Old Master Bo smiled and decided to put his phone aside, not wanting to disturb them any further. It seemed like this marriage had a chance!
“When should we pick up Grandpa tomorrow?” Fang Yuan asked casually.
“It’s up to you. I’m flexible,” Bo Yi responded with a gentle smile, still playing with her delicate hand. “1’11 go along with your schedule.”
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said, “How about we go after lunch? 1 have work in the afternoon, so I don’t want Grandpa to wait too long.”
“Sounds good,” Bo Yi agreed, continuing to admire her small, fair, and tender hand. He couldn’t help but appreciate it. Each finger was elegant, and her nails were clean and beautiful. This girl seemed to have a magical touch. Once they held hands, he didn’t want to let go…
Early the following morning.
After Old Master Bo had freshened up, he eagerly awaited Fang Yuan’s arrival. However, he was met with an unexpected surprise.
Butler Wen entered the room with a helpless expression and explained, “Old Sir, President Wan from the Wan Group has brought his daughter to visit you. President Li from Lida Group and his wife are also waiting outside with their son. In addition, Old Master Pang from the Pang Family has brought his granddaughter for an audience, and Madam Pan from the Pan Family has brought her three granddaughters…”
“I don’t want to see them, I don’t want to see them!” Old Master Bo was eager to see Fang Yuan, not these people. Their intentions were too transparent; they simply wanted to marry their daughters and granddaughters into the Bo Family. Did they really think he was senile and couldn’t see through their schemes?
Butler Wen suggested, “Shall I politely inform them that you are not available yet, sir?”
Old Master Bo’s anger flared up. “Tell them that I won’t be receiving any visitors today!” His exception was only if his granddaughter-in-law came.
Old Master Bo reconsidered and added, “Also, instruct them not to obstruct my granddaughter-in-law in any way.”
“Yes, sir!” Butler Wen agreed, then found a diplomatic way to decline the people waiting at the door.
Noontime arrived, and there were several groups of visitors gathered at the entrance, all of whom had come upon hearing the news of Old Master Bo’s hospital stay. The corridor on this floor was entirely congested, both inside and outside!
Old Master Bo waited anxiously, but there was still no sign of Fang Yuan. Instead, his stomach rumbled with hunger from the prolonged wait.
“Sir…” Butler Wen entered once more.
Bo Desong’s hope surged as he asked eagerly, “Has Fang Yuan arrived?” Where was she? Why hadn’t she come inside? He peeked outside and saw only his bodyguards forming a protective barrier, with many people gathered outside.
Bo Desong’s enthusiasm deflated instantly, like a balloon losing its air.
“It seems to be a small company I’ve never heard of before. They must have learned about your hospital stay and came here specifically to visit you…” Butler Wen shared his own sense of helplessness about the situation..
