Married at First Sight

The old lady finally patted her grandson's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Not bad-you're responsible. Grandma supports you."

Zhan Yin replied, "I was raised by my grandparents. If I didn't take responsibility, I'd be afraid Grandpa would come back in the middle of the night to settle the score with me." He was referring to the old man who had passed away many years ago.

The old lady suddenly sighed. "If only your grandfather were still alive. He'd be so happy to see you find happiness. Soon, he'll even be promoted to great- grandfather.”

"It's a pity he didn't live to see you get married."

"When he first passed, I could still connect with him in dreams, but now I haven't dreamed of him for a long time. Ayin, has your grandfather come to see you? Do you think he's doing well down there?"

Zhan Yin was silent for a moment, then said, "I haven't dreamed of Grandpa since he passed. I often wonder if he blames me for being ignorant, or maybe I haven't done well enough, and he's disappointed in me."

"Why doesn't he appear in my dreams to praise me?"

"If I haven't done well, he should visit my dreams to scold me and give advice."

He thought of his grandfather often.

When Grandpa first passed away, Grandma was heartbroken—and he was devastated too.

In private, he would often drink alone, calling out for his grandfather. Sometimes,

he would hug Su Nan or Duncan and choke out, "I don't have Grandpa anymore."

His grandfather was his first mentor in life and taught him so much.

They shared a close bond.

Grandpa always said that although he had nine grandchildren, none compared in importance to his eldest grandson.

Zhan Yin was the old man's favorite.

"He must have felt that since I'm still alive and guiding you, everything would be fine-so he rests in peace."

But Zhan Yin had always done well.

When the old man was alive, he recognized his eldest grandson's abilities. His only concern was Zhan Yin's love life and marriage.

Fortunately, Zhan Yin did not disappoint him. He found a good partner and is about to become a father.

"Every time there's a wedding in the family, I think of Grandpa. It would've been wonderful if he were still with us."

Grandpa was only a few years older than Grandma. If he were still alive, he wouldn't even be 90 yet.

Grandpa was only a few years older than Grandma, and even if he were still alive, he wouldn't yet be 90.

The old lady sighed. "He wasn't destined to live that long. After Tongtong gives birth, I'll visit your grandfather and tell him that your wife has had a baby-he's now a greatgrandfather."

"Grandma, I'll go with you."

"No need. Tongtong will be in postpartum confinement after giving birth. You should stay with her and take care of her. Don't go to the cemetery with Grandma."

"Especially with a newborn, there are traditions that should be respected."

Zhan Yin said, "Then let's wait until the baby is one month old before visiting Grandpa. According to custom, we should burn incense and inform our ancestors on the baby's full month."

"That's fine. We'll wait until then, and you can go with me."

The grandmother and grandson continued chatting about family matters until Haitong came out of the shower and called for Zhan Yin, at which point they stopped talking.

The old lady returned to her room to rest, not wanting to disturb the young couple.

Haitong was pregnant, so Zhan Yin didn't dare let his thoughts wander. Before they could finish their conversation, Haitong had already fallen asleep.

When she didn't respond, Zhan Yin realized she was sound asleep.

He leaned in, kissed her gently on the forehead, and whispered, "Good night, honey."

Then he quietly got out of bed and went to take a shower.

No more words were spoken that night.

The next day-Friday-Zhan Yin got up early as usual, did his morning exercises, came back to prepare breakfast, and then went to the guest room to wake up Yangyang.

When they returned home the night before, Yangyang had already been coaxed to sleep by the old lady.

Yangyang didn't attend Shen Xiaojun's son's full moon banquet because he had to go to kindergarten.noveldrama

The little guy had tried to ask his aunt for leave to attend the celebration, but she turned him down.

Haitong was concerned that if she gave him time off this once, he might start asking for leave from school over every little thing.

Taking leave can easily become a habit.

Since Yangyang didn't attend the full moon banquet, he naturally didn't go to the business venue either.
